Inoffensive enough looking show. Shirou seems like a hero that a kid would write without thinking too hard, though. I'm interested in generally everything else.

Decent first episode. During the opening scenes, I thought the whole thing was going to be set in a fantasy setting. At some point, someone turned on a tv and I was like, huh?

Actually I can't believe that people keeps ranting about Ufotable's version being a lot better if it comes to visuals and music. Music in ufotable version sucks as hell, like Hollywood blockbuster. Art is atrocious, undetailed and ugly. Animation? Just flashy fight scenes with ugly 3DCG models and ridiculous camera movement.
I'm far from defending Deen, it's one of my least favorite studios, but in this case they have done grat job. Far better than UFO.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

i started with this, watched and finished the whole UBW series yesterday night and now i'm back to start this over because people told me the ending is different.
for one thing i think this first episode is a lot slower than lbw's, but it's only the first anyway.

Urgh, Saruka...

Its a good start I guess... its nice seeing the characters animated though its a bit too fast like they expect you to have read the VN.

I'm sure it'll get better.

I hope...

When someone sits on the corner near the window, it's an important character.

Poor Emiya. Hope he doesn't become an idiot after that hit.

As other comments have stated, it's a slow start. I'm hoping that it picks up and gets interesting as the story progresses.

it was ok. 6/10 start. has potential, but could also totally flop

typical altruistic, wanna-be hero MC. dude has magic skills but not very useful ones in terms of combat, apparently. wonder if his "dad" knew this kid had magic when he found him. or, maybe that's how the kid was the only one to survive 10 years ago...because the kid unknowingly used his magic to save himself? idk...

we've met 2 other magi user people things. so there are 4 more to go, assuming this space heater repairman kid is the 7th

Well, I knew this wasn't going flashy or impressive looking for that matter, but it's got a okay retro vibe so I'll take it for now.

No mention of Saber this episode, I'm looking forward to that iconic scene of her entrance soon. Also, the whole master-servant idea hasn't been established yet but I'm interested for sure.

Giving me a bit of Mirai Nikki vibes.

So it has turned into a school anime now. After the majestic first part we have kids now. But seriously what's with the lame art? This would have been way better with art style like the first part. It's Studio Deen after all. I shouldn't expect too much.

This Anime is the first part (Zero is more the 4th/5th Part actually) , and Fate always has been an Anime with school & kids , nothing new.

But seriously what's with the lame art? And why does Gilgamesh look like this? He's so lame. This would have been way better with art style like the first part. It's Studio Deen after all. I shouldn't expect too much.


The Art is perfectly normal. (Takeushi's old style + 2006 Anime. Not really something about Deen.)
With time , Takeushi's style changed , and Ufotable did their best to match it , and even tried to polish it. (If you have watched Kara no Kyoukai , you can clearly see the difference in design/style between 1-8 and Mirai Fukuin-Extra Chorus : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/En3yN2sW4AMjPuS.jpg)

@Alexioos95 you can go to hell and @ssjokg you can go to hell I don't care. I'm watching in the story order not the date of release. I didn't pay attention to the dates. That thing with Studio Deen is something personal. It's none of your business.

Dunno why you are so worked up , i didn't said anything offensive...

I'm watching in the story order not the date of release.


The story order is still not Zero first... it's last.
If you mean chronologically , you also watched Naruto from the flashbacks of Minato in Shippuden , then got back at Naruto Episode 1 too , right ? (I won't even talk about Ashura & all)
But i guess you didn't...

That thing with Studio Deen is something personal. It's none of your business.


Then why do you post in a public forum on internet... ?

I'd say it's you who needs to go for a walk in hell.

Really aggressive for no reason.

You realize that some stories must be watched be order of release right? Even the creators say it. Nice example from @Alexioos95. Or with Bleach did you start with the Past arc?

I have no idea what you mean about Deen. I didnt even talk about it.

@Alexioos95 @ssjokg I would go with the classic "no one asked for your opinion" but then again this is a public forum. I will stick with go to hell.

WHICH PART OF I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATES CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND! FATE/ZERO IS LISTED THE FIRST WITH NO PREQUELS ON MAL DATABASE!

I don't need babies to tell me, me a person who has a degree in literature and is a seasoned anime watcher, how to watch my anime!
scram!

We are calmly pointing your errors so you can understand them , but you keep being aggressive and offensive for no reason.
So I'll just say that you got a seriously loosen up screw and stop to reply there.

bit of slow start. but i think they aimed well to develop the characters, specially emiya. 

seems the action gonna start next episode

the art feeling bit dated, so i feel the critics about this series art.
but it's not that distracting though

Honestly, after hearing how shit of an adaptation this is, I'm not seeing it rn. It's established Shirou's character pretty well early on.

The animation is really the only thing to complain about, I guess, but it's pretty much fine. It looks more like the VN than Ufotable does and captures the atmosphere of being a 2000s eroge pretty much perfectly, though, idk if that's particularly a good thing.

Wow! People hate on this show so much that i started to believe it. But this looks like a great show.
- Oh, so saber and archer of the 4th war fought after? Or is it just to look cool
- The use of moonlight as well as the camera angles are such a vibe
- "Hero of justice" is kinda cringe but hey its anime everything is cringe
- OMG KEREI YESSS
- Aw Kuritsugu is dead? :(
- Oh, Rin gets archer like her father before her, sick
- Ooo, Shirou's ability to see how an object was constructed and works is cool
- Ah, Fuyuki is making up excuses to keep people away from the war this time, i like it
- Irisviels daughter! I believe her name was Illya? Sad to see her get dragged into something she doesn't deserve to be, especially since she could turn into a cup XD
- Is Gilgamesh still running around if Kirei is still alive?
- Tf? A skeleton? Is it a servant?
- I wonder if sakura will be a master in this war
- Shirou keeps dreaming of excalibur, I wonder if Kuritsugu planned for this
- The building hopping with Rin and Archer gave me happy vibes

I'm pretty late to the party but now I've started the Fate series.

The graphics are incredible, especially for 2006. Can't even compare it to Glass no Kamen from 2005 which I recently completed.

Emiya is pretty likable so far, Saber is cool. As an Umineko fan, Emiya's name is pretty funny to me.

The start was good, and I hope the series will draw me in.

Lets try the Fate franchise. People say Fate Stay night 2006 is bad, and i know someone can't have an opinion after just one episode, but the first episode was good. I hope people was just exagerating, and this first part is going to be good.

Spanish translation:
Probemos la franquicia Fate. La gente dice que Fate Stay night 2006 es mala, y se que uno no puede tener una opinión después de solo un episodio, pero el episodio uno fue bueno. Espero que la gente solo estuviera exagerando, y la primera parte va a ser buena.
