Nope.This "special" already ended airing so it is nothing like them.

Unlike most overrated shows, this won't be overrated if ufotable is as faithful to the godlike source material as they have demonstrated in this special. It's even delivering above the hype so far..

Mm, I am of this opinion as well. We just don't know yet for sure if they truly will get the whole series right. Though there's not exactly much pointing towards them failing with it based on the prologue.

But that's coming from someone who read the VN. People who have are most likely going to be perfectly happy with this adaptation (well I'm more or less perfectly happy with the prologue at least). They know what to expect story-wise. They already know whether they're going to like certain characters, events, battles, etc, assuming the adaptation stays strong and faithful of course. I already know I'm going to like this anime more than a bunch of other things, because I already know I like the Fate/stay night VN series a whole lot (gave it a 9.5 rating, which means it's competing with stuff like Umineko, Muv-Luv Alternative and Ever17... that's not easy competition at all)

But for people who haven't read the VN, yet are still somewhat familiar with the Fate series? Well I personally have no idea what DEEN's anime and movie covers of the routes, so I have no idea how much those people know of the stories already. Hence I have no idea if they're going to like the result of these new adaptations, story-wise. They may or may not.

2006 anime: 50% Fate route events, 30% UBW and HF, and 20% original. They also managed to screw up the characterization by quite a bit, also focused on Saber more than they should have.

2010 non-existent movie: Didn't have a story. It was just a 90% poorly animated AMV from various UBW fight scenes.

Agreed, his attitude is ridiculous. It was a big mistake to consider the prologue an ova imo, but you really have to be scum to rate a show poorly just so that your favorite anime remain highly ranked.

There are people even rating it as a standalone when it's clearly not..
It's all because MAL separated the first episode from the entry of the show it's part of.
Consistency stuff, this is what it results in. So yeah unless it becomes part of the show again expect more comments like that. I say just ignore it.

i dont think the prologue is where episode 1 will continue from.

I'm guessing when the show restarts, we will see what happened during the same timeframe from Shirou's perspective.

I don't know, even when playing the VN, the prologue is separated. You don't hit New game and start form there. You have to go to extras to play it. From that perspective it doesn't bother me much. This having it's own entry that is.

ive seen plenty of first episode ONA things as their own episodes.

The only reason people dont want this separate is because it will be in the top 20, which personally I think it should be.

either that or they are dumb fate fanboys whom are mad because they think 8.6 is too low.

I'm pretty sure 8.6 is where fate stay night will end up at best.

This show wont be in the top 5. Fate/Zero isnt in the top 5.

People need to face the facts that Fate shit isnt the most popular stuff in the world.

Perhaps.
But the episode was announced as part of the main series by the producers, not an OVA or special or whatever else; it's a TV anime episode part of Ufoworks.

Well whatever, it doesn't matter anymore now. like I said just ignore whatever comments that come up because of the split..

This isnt just rating it is bullshit rating.

What normal/sane people rate about:Animation,designs,directing,script,faithfulness to source material(if it exists),music,development,setting and a bunch of other things.

What you rate about:JUSTICE.

Not troll rating but sure as hell it is illogical.

I have the prologue as an 8 right now, depending on how the rest of the adaptation goes I'll rate it that. The same for the second cour of it.

I get this and part of me even agrees. I know it's kind of nitpicky, but if Ufotable had just named this Fate/stay night Prologue It may have made this easier. I'd also like to point out that a few of the things in the prologue won't even have a direct effect on UBW at all. They are relevant to Heaven's Feel.

No doubt, Just naming it Prologue would have been better. It makes me wonder if in the HF movie adaption, they will just skip it entirely, in which case, naming it "prologue" would have just been even more justifiable.

He's right though, especially on Fairy Tail. How such a cliched show gets such a big audience I will never know (or don't want to).

I gave the prologue a 9 because I think it deserves a 9. Is it too much to ask to just give something what you think it deserves instead of trying to restore balance to the universe? If fanboys spam the 10 rating on a crappy series then the show will be seen as overrated and the fanbase will have a bad reputation.

sorry but its just dumb to see a prologue surpassing enitire series that are better in every aspect besides animation

the prologue should be judged on its own merits since its a separate entry. the story is obviously a fail when only a specific portion of material is covered and story is the biggest thing i rate on. if i were to rate the prologue seriously i would rate it as a 5 purely for production quality.

Fair enough. I don't go around rating shows 1/10 for a silly reason like that though. It'd be one thing if i genuinely hated it that much, but in your case, it's pretty funny.
"Gives it a rating that contradicts my honest opinion because justice!"
Tell me, if we assume you had absolute power over the ratings of MAL entries, would you lower the scores of shows you actually liked in the name of "justice"? Sorry, but there's no objectivity in entertainment. If the ranking troubles you so much then blame MAL for making it a separate entry.
