A good way to start an anime. No mention of Saber yet. That Tohsaka Rin; no wonder she's so popular.

I really should watch this in HQ.

It's a shame that I started this show now and not years earlier. Because this looks really promising. Really liked this episode.

Not bad for a first episode, I guess... I'm just mad that Saber didn't show up yet... But I'm pretty sure she'll show up in the next episode anyway.

Yeh not a bad way bad to start an anime... Well it's a plain way to do it, but hey we need the whole history behind all the plot ne? So this little intro was nice... The looks of the Tohsaka girl are awesome... And Shirou looks like a nice guy.... But looks like things will go wilder from now on.... Sakura was the moe girl for sure.... Fujimura-sensei is the comical relief.... And this Servants are the action factor.... But why are you whinning about summoning Saber? Is she that kewl? Who's that anyway??? XD

I was kinda bored actually. I hope it'll get better as I keep watching :]

Yeesh I hate when fans complain about stupid shit like whoever this Saber person is when they just watched the first episode. Have they ever heard of something called story build-up?!

nothing interesting really happened... Even Shakugan no Shana and Zero no Tsukaima got a much better start...

but since this is said to be the best show of 2006, and a lot of my friends are crazy about it, I'll wait and see why...

Agreed. And it was a kinda boring episode but I have a friend who was a raving lunatic for it, so I'm gonna go a little farther in before judging.

Hum... It was interesting. I've heard good things about this show and I love the character designs. So I have high expectations.

As for the first episode, I didn't find it boring at all. Introducing Shirou that deeply sounds like a good way to start imo and the premise presented seemed really promising. Gotta wait to see ;)

I saw this about the same time it was starting out, but I didn't look much more into it but episode by episode at the time. Now that more of the story has come out and revilations about the chars and ties to the past are given from the other parts, alot of this story makes some more sense. Like Illisvil calling Emia brother for one, and now I get why, Tousaka end up summoning that archer guy. She basically uses herself as the summon item, and the only hero anchored to her is a future Emia.

Decided to slowly re-watch this alongside the Visual Novel. I wonder what the people who complain about the slow start of the anime would think of the Visual Novel? Which has a 3-5 hour prologue and doesn't even introduce Saber until 3 or so hours after that.

What the novel gains by this length of time is establishing a few general rules of the War and establishing Shirou and Tohsaka's character. Still, the anime seemed to do a decent job in this first episode of showing Shirou's past, though I don't think his "scars" are all that well explored. But, we'll see going forward. Tohsaka's characterization was basically skipped, but i have an idea of what Studio Deen was going for with this so I'll reserve my judgements for later.

Heh, you should play the VN and see her route if you really think that. You get enough clues that something is wrong with her in the Prologue of the Visual Novel alone.

Always though she pushed him in the bugs; but rewatched FZ final episode and couldn't clearly see whether she pushed him or he did just drop dead. Suppose you read the LN; so you should be right.

But either way her reaction was very coldhearted, suppose I will find out soon enough she's not a normal girl.

She was taught in a year not to disobey her grandfather.


Just as a little clue into how Sakura is different between Zero and Stay Night. Just think on "why" Sakura spends every single day at Shirou's house.

Pretty awesome first episode, but the main character being a naive protector of justice is a bit worrisome. But good episode none the less!

Interesting first episode, they do have a good way of expressing the humor but I'm sure they require this amount of humor level to keep the show intact and still interesting until the end.

The story of this first episodes takes quite some time in the future from Fate/Zero and if I'm right we saw a short scene with Ilya in it near ending.

Quite interesting non the less I was discouraged to watch this because of the prequel but well lets see what this season actually hast to offer!

Makarov try to edit your posts so that you dont double post...

In the end of FZ ,Sakura says that as a realization,not hatred or sadism.That is the final "lesson" form Zouken.In more detail that part from the novel:


Kiritsugu's death wasnt shown in the anime but he dies right after his final line.I think that Shirou's flashback in FSN shows that but I could be wrong since I saw FSN 3-4 years ago.
