This fall will bring us the remake of an anime that had lots of potential but ultimately failed to deliver on all fronts: Fate Stay Night. From the studio that brought us Fate Zero. FZ was 10 times better than FSN and it is one of my top 5 anime of all time. It had amazing fight scenes, animation and a pretty good mature story. I can't wait to see what Ufotable will do with Fate Stay Night. Needless to say I'd say its safe to say it will be 2 times better than the original series and I want to see how much fan service(not-that kind mind you) and tie-ins to Fate Zero we will get.

Edit Supposedly it is going to be some sort of 4th route.

That's good. The original Fate/stay night anime adaptation was utter trash tbh.

Agreed. Only reason I got through to the end was the Fate Zero hype.

hype

indeed. Hype. Cannot wait.

Hype.

So this means I won't have to suffer through a sub-par adaptation once FinalAnswer and I finish Fate Zero?

Good.

Alexander the Great is best servant though.

Broskander for the win

I think the first episode is up. I have yet to see it.

Ufotable is KING.

Badass prologue episode. Already better than any fight scene in the original anime.

TRACE ON MOTHER ****ers!

So I wonder if Ufotable will magically make Shiro less of a generic little shit.

As for being being better than the original, that's not really saying much but the animation was top notch.

Though a part of me is a tad disappointed that they went for UBW instead of HF.

Same here. I wanted Heaven's feel, but totally dig UBW tho. That route deserved a series. I think they will still go for heaven's feel if their work continues to be critically acclaimed.

I also like how they used Rin to tie UBW with Fate Zero. Also really into the exploration of Rin and Archer's relationship. The more I think about it the more I like it.

I like that too. In fact the only real problem I'm having with this is that, while in a very mediocre adaptation, I've seen it before whereas Fate Zero was fresh off the line: at least that's my take on it.

Finished the first season of Fate Zero.

Really liking it, should I get mad hype for Fate Stay Night? Is it as good!?

Pfft...while the remake shows promise, I wouldn't get any hopes up for dealing with its main lead. Zack knows what I mean.

Though Fate Zero should continue to impress at the pace you're going at.

Did anyone else catch the episode of Fate Stay night that came out. Dat animation was dope.

Tell me you guys saw the first episode... I never thought Ufotable could beat the animation for their fight scene between Saber and Lancer in Fate Zero but I will be damned. That was the most awesome shit I've seen in years.

I was left speechless.

Now all Ufotable has to do is make sure Shiro is bearable throughout this adaptation. Though now I really want to know how Ufotable is affording all of this AAA animation? This was even better than Lancer vs Archer last week IMO.

Ufotable has a habit of blowing up their budget on the first fight scenes(happened in Zero and Blast of Tempest) so we might get lower end scenes down the line.

I'm hoping that ain't the case though, and that they simply decided to go balls deep into being awesome. I'[d like to think they are just really, really into this adaptation. Certainly looks like it. Feels like movie quality.

True about Shirou. I'm thinking they will make him more bearable. He was not that bad in the UBW movie/path. He was certainly more badass.

Man...Saber is so epic. Love how she is all action.

Really liking it, should I get mad hype for Fate Stay Night? Is it as good!? Season 1 ended when the kings unite to have diner and discuss their ideologies, right? One of my favorite episodes right there. Seeing them all peacefully interact and exchange views. Coupled with the reveal of Alexander's phenomenal Noble Phatasm.


The new showis looking very promising thus far. Top notch animation, pace and everything feels coherent(only 2 episodes thus far, but it feels that way to me) I think you will like it if you like Zero.

Tl;dr: GET HYPED.

I can't believe I overlooked the new concerning Ufotable making a Heaven's Feel movie. Shucks I feel out the loop for not noticing that sooner.

I don't know; Zero had multiple high budget later fights that were amazing. Like Saber/Berserker and Rider/Caster/Saber. Lancer just has that hazy weapon animation that makes it look cool in both versions of lancer in Zero and Night.

Lancer just has that hazy weapon animation that makes it look cool in both versions of lancer in Zero and Night. They took a break to allow for more budget and time for animations. Not saying the later fight scenes were bad, on the contrary they were good. They should have focused more on Kiritsugu's and Kirei's match though. It looked to me like the servant fight got all the love. Still a cool fight tho.

Either way I'm all in. They don't need to make every fight as cool and or awesome as these 2 we've had, but if they do then...DAMN.

Finished Fate/Zero. Pretty great all things considered.

Watched the first episode of this. So it covers Unlimited Blade Works and not Fate?

What does that mean?

Oh and yeah this covers UBW which I consider a good thing since the Fate route is generally seen as the worst of the 3 primary routes.

What does what mean?

That may be true, but it's also the one which focuses on mai waifu the most, isn't it?

You said all things considered? Just curious as to what that meant.

That is indeed true. Then there's Shiro...

So pumped for tomorrow's release woot

Wonder if the episode will be 40 minutes long or if it will settle back to the 20 minutes standard. Thinking that is what will happen.

Much much Rage.

Can't wait another week. ANGER.FURY. DEATH

Info dump episode yay.

Though this is my personal take on it but couldn't Kiritsugu have taught Shiro to dress better or leave some suits behind? Dude looks hella plain.

He should have taught him every killingstrat he knew >.>

Why would someone who no longer believes in being a hero of justice train Shirou to be one?

I dunno.

Just want more Kiritsugu style trolling

I just wanted to see some more of day assassin swag. Kiritsugu leaving his kid looking all shabby...shame.

So just watched the first three episodes. Pretty great so far. Loved seeing Arthur wreck some shit.

Still, kinda funny how massive of a tone difference it has from Zero.

Action packed episode. Totally digging this. Saber keeps on being the biggest badass.

Curious, how accurate is this to the Visual Novel?

I have it.

Surprised to see that Saber basically beat Berserker. I heard he was the strongest Servant summoned this war.

According to stats n stuff Berserker is the strongest servant with the best master but apparently Excalibur can mess anyone up if it hits.

Kick ass action packed episode. Now if only Saber had her suits

Kick ass action packed episode. Now if only Saber had her suits Excalibur is an anti-fortress noble phantasm. Of course it will **** anyone up. I'm surprised she used it so soon, but given the circumstances and the opponent I guess she had no other option. Now we will have to see how she goes the rest of the show. I'm thinking they will use that Mini excalibur as an excuse to weaken/cripple/plot device her out of spamming it at everyone. Especially with Shirou's shitty stats as a master

Well I guess they had to slow things down after the awesomeness of last week's episode. Some simple build-up to Caster's reveal & high school hi-jinks.

Shirou is actually a little terrifying in his utter lack of ****s given toward life-threatening situations. Or toward much of anything, really.

He actually reminds me of Kirei a little.

He is brave, but its hard to relate to him. I would be pissing my pants with a wound like that. Cool nevertheless!

Poor Rin friend, the first victim. Rider was hot, with a little milf in her. XD

I still don't care for Shiro but it appears I'm the minority in this case.

Hmm...don't remember Rider being this hot but it works.

Shiro doesn't give a ****.

Great episode. Ufotable continues to impress and up stakes/quality.

This is quickly becoming my #1 anime. So pumped for the releases.

Wonder if the Blu-Ray's are going to be just as expensive as Fate/Zero.

Oh and yeah I know Rider's hot but it seemed to me that Ufotable made her hotter somehow. It might be my imagination.

Wow the Tsundere was strong in this episode. Oh and no more Rider

N-VFSS9EUoY

So hyped the season break is over.

fuq

N-VFSS9EUoY

The ships have sailed

We got some nice canon-filler back story for Caster this week.

Also I'm not legit curious as to whether or not Ufotable just has access to a pot of gold for their animation

Ufotable are cruel. Making us wait another week. GOD **** IT

SPOILERS BELOW!


He actually was compared to Kirei at the end of Heaven's Feel, after the priest actually got some character development and his motivations evolved beyond those in Zero.

All in all, I feel Heaven's Feel should have gotten the adaptation to anime, instead of been made as an OVA. It was the darkest route, and for me the best one. As a sequel to Fate/Zero it's the one which works the best, as it's the route that reveals more info. Yeah, UBW gets hyped up because it develops Archer the most and does it actively (Heaven's Feel did so through implications and hints), and I also feel it's getting adapted because Gilgamesh got to shine, while in Heaven's Feel...

I think they will definitely work on Heaven's Feel. They getting lots of rep and love for their work in the current series.
