THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Just watched the pre-air episode.

That was fun. It introduced most of the characters back again. What the hell, that girl is wearing a swimming tube to a classroom LOL. The transformation scenes were awesome though with a cliffhanger.

Hopefully we'll see the full OP song next time. Nice to see Kuro at the end though :>

...Yeah....This ep just screamed to me


Dragging aside, the only thing that annoyed me is the (second) lack of Rho Aias name calling.And that the funny scenes are NOT as funny as in the manga.

Good to see that they did not have the OP in the first ep as it would spoil the end of the episode.

I hope this was sarcasm and you didnt just ignore the dragging of several scenes and the reuse of last season"s joke.

And you mean that the PVs and poster didnt spoil it already?

Far more screentime than she did in season 1.

You mean they actually take time instead of rushing the shit out of it like you dreamed of?

As I said they will most likely do it two cour.

Not every viewer looks for promo material. THat's like saying that spoiling manga story is okay because manga is available.

The "oniichan morning kiss dream" scene was unnecessary,the whole park scene was useless unless you are in for the yuri and the transformation sequence to save Rin and Luvia was really not needed.

There is something that is between dragging and rushing you know.Normal pace without random scenes.

You mean a THIRD season or some OVA since for now it is still 10 eps.

You really think that those that actually want to watch it for what it is, DIDNT look for info.Okay.Lets ignore normal human reactions.

They needed to re-establish the basics and they did.

This gives me hope that we might get the scenes that were cut too, like Iris discussion, etc.

Nope. I mean a second cour after a break like F/0

No they dont need to reestablish the "basics", when the basics were outside the scenes I mentioned, unless if you mean Tatsuko being a retard ,indirect kisses(that werent even in the manga), a random transformation scene or reuse of a scene that they put in season 1 are the basics of Fate/Kaleid.

Except that unlike ufo, they didnt announce anything like that.They did the same just like in season 1.

Yeah different people....

A two cour show with an one season break in between? You are way too optimistic. If you understand how anime production works, you would know that the production team is still working on the last few episode of this season right now. There is no way for them to prepare another season for winter 2015 unless they are already working on it now. I believe that it is highly unlikely, and if they are, they would have announced it. I'm not saying that season three is impossible, but it would highly depend on the popularity (aka sales). The earliest has to be spring 2015 just given the production time.

That's not just an "another season" the split cour season design is quite common nowadays to save animation budget. Fate/Zero did it that way.

ANd there's no way to stuff the whole 2wei into ~10 episodes.

Removed some baiting, don't ask where to find subs/where to watch an episode.

Is there really a need to discuss possible sequels when only the first episode of the second season aired?
I'd rather you keep this an episode discussion instead of instigating a flame war on if this is good or not.

Pretty good first episode.
The screams of Rin and Luvia while this beautiful transformation scene were hilarious.
You also could see Schweinorg completely during Waver's phone call.
But I'm a bit disappointed that Illya didn't scream Rho Aias when she used it.
Pretty hyped to see Caren and Bazette soon, it has been quite a while since Carnival Phantasm.

That transformation.

Really good episode. Like how we had the same fun and yuri moments from last season in the first half. The transformation scene was funny and great. It really showed off the animation. At first I thought Illya can just go in and out of archer forms, but now it looks like it split from her. I wonder if she would be called tan Illya lol. Can't wait for next episode.

4/5.

Not a bad starter. It seems their peaceful days are finally over. Though that transformation scene look really great, it was just annoying that you could hear Rin and them drowning in the background. Well I enjoyed that twist in the end so I can't see where this goes now.

So, was this like huge UBW spoiler in the end? Anyway, is this based on UBW or on Ataraxia? Or combination of both? But I didn't like it how they change the laws of this universe how thet please just to make it look cool.

Anyway, it was so so, this series is a really weak substitute of original, better to wait till autumn for Heaven's Feel I guess.

It isnt based on anything what makes you think that?

The laws of "that" universe havents changed at all.If you mean the cards, it is only an addition, not a change, just like the ritual in Extra, Apocrypha and Strange Fake.

More Fate/ = more awesome = more happiness :3
Well Shirou still looks awful. Way to ruin a badass character's design.
Loli yuri scene first thing? Absolutely brilliant.
Bleh.

Taiga being Taiga. And annoying blonde hair loli friend being all hyper and shit, then pink hair punches blonde hair DBZ style (or Captain Falcon style). I like that, she deserved it for being a) annoying, b) retarded and c) perverted. Aaaaand more yuri pairings, perfect. Yes I'm not that fond of Illya's friends, didn't like them much last season and not really sure if this will change this time around. Well, they have their moments at least. Was that recap really necessary though?

Kidnapping! Hahaha that was random. Waver looks badass. More Rin <3 (I still don't like her character design though) Luvia as obnoxious as ever xD
Rin >>>>> Luvia.

Mahou shoujo transformation was cool. Rho Aias, Split and.... Enter: Kuro. Wasn't that impressive of an entrance but it wasn't too bad either.

Visuals are great and OST is amazing.
4/5

I thought last year someone said first season is loosely based on Fate, wheras second uses UBW route and third Ataraxia story. But I guess Bazett is slated to appear in this season so I guess it's just this weird mix.

And mainly I meant that creation of Illya's double, there is no way anything like that could be created in original world, not to mention with prana with all things (as far as we presume she is still vessel of kind and acts as source of her Archer self). Or is there any logical how this card "servant" same to her likeness could be placed into ordinary living body? (cause Archer was.. you know)

But maybe it's just me, I don't find this iteration of Fate universe so interesting and I already forgot lot of things since the last year. Not to mention they weren't really informative on what really happend when Illya unlocked her abilities in the last season.

They arent based on anything.I know who you mean and he talks about "symbolism", themes and that kind of stuff that really dont matter.

That Archer isnt the one we know. More about her are spoilers so I will leave put it in tags


One char having a double has been done before, the Saber class in the 3rd HGW. Servants are nothing more than mass of prana.What happened here is similar to that, although it has more to do with Ilya's power as the grail's vessel and the 3rd Magic than what the Edelfelt sisters did.

Oh, now it makes sense, thanks for the answer. Before I was thinking she drew her somehow with use of prana from alternate reality with her Kaleidostick. But this explanation made that a lot clearer.

Though, to create such being one would usually need A LOT of prana. And although those sticks have unlimited supply like Zelretch sword their drain rate is rather limited. But I guess it has to do with the place they were in and with leylines there (as we all know what's supposed to be in this cave beneath that hill). Or it was rather continuous process, prana being stored in Illya slowly after that incident. And Illya's third magic then did the trick.

I actually thought that was hilarious. Enjoyable first episode. This series just makes me happy for some reason. That genki girl friend is annoying though. Luvia's boobs were trying to burst from her shirt. Rin is better though. Good transformation sequence.

Not really underrated but I think you need to be a fan of the fate series or a fan of mahou shoujos to enjoy this (I'm sure there are some exceptions though).

Animation looked really great in this first episode. I kinda wish they used a new soundtrack (although the old one from S1 is pretty damn great). Guess Kato Tatsuya was too busy making the phenomenal Free: Eternal Summer OST.

Don't know why they decided to make the yuri more blatant. Maybe it's the source material but I think it's dumb. My penis disagrees of course.

Some scenes were really funny, like when Miyu and Illya got "kidnapped", or (more out of universe comedy since it wasn't directly referenced) them showing the full transformation scene while Rin and Luvia are drowning.

It was a bit heavy on fanservice, somehow especially Illya repreatedly ended up shown from behind while on all fours etc. Yuri wasn't all that prevelant compared to that, it was only that morning kiss and the scene in the park.

I also had a small hope that Rin and Luvia would still be dirty after the rescue, would show some attention to detail or how you want to call it.

Overall it isn't as good as S1 was, but still nice, and it was only the first episode, so they got time to improve.
