Saber, Kiritsugu's son, Kotomine, Rin, Illya, Sakura, Grail Wars, zero being a prequel to the VN this was based on. Yep has absolutely nothing do with zero.
*sarcasm*

Although this series is better, hands down.

A lot of talking and informations again, but that's okay otherwise I'd be even more confused at this point. I really like the setting and the characters so far, I'd be surprised if I wouldn't enjoy this show :)

You might want to re-think watching this show, it's not a good adaptation and might spoil a part of Unlimited Blade Works (the currently airing Fate/Stay Night), some of the spoilers are covered from Zero though.

^This.


FSN2006 is a non canon adaptation that follows anime original storyline and shits on everything that is good in the franchise.

I watch this series right after I'm done with Fate Zero expecting this series will be as good as Fater Zero...but nope it's super boring.
Nothing really happen and it's full of talking.
Guess this is the end of this series.
Off to Unlimited Blade work.
Drop 4/10 still love Saber tho.

So, basically his only chance, to get out of this, is to win. Well, that sucks.

For a cup who received the Christ's blood, this Holy Grail sure is blood thirsty if I buy everything this Kotomine said. It wants people to actively fight deadly encounters... what a weird christen relic.
The introduction of the catholic priest had a so evil connotation that I don't even know if I must trust it.
Setting all the rules from the start doesn't make for a suspenseful narration.
Also, the "tournament" being held four times in the same (asian) town?! I guess this is an excuse to feature teenagers competitors, since the previous games must have consumed most capable adults.

The Servants designs are probably far away from their origins, because they don't look like anything from the past. Also, I suppose they are summoned from the "afterlife" since the characters mentioned "half-resurrection".

3.5/5 Lacking any magic common sense, will the hero take out his bow and fight along his future love interest?

@CodeBlazeFate This doesn't seem that bad.

I watched first Fate/Zero series, without knowing anything about Fate/Stay Night. Considering the fact that Fate/Zero has much better score, and the fact that it released much later, better animation style and so on, I thought that the Fate/Stay Night will drop in my eyes...

However, so far, so good. I like the slow introduction. I like the dialogue and the characters, especially Shirou. I like the fact that he isn't trained mage at all. It will be interesting to see how story develops.

So far, my score is 10 for this. We will see.

it is fun how in anime things always happen in a small japanese town like it's the most important place in the world. specially with the spirits of all the greatest heroes from history there. lol

anyway, saber reminds me so much of erza from fairy tail i do wonder if she [erza] was inspired by her...
i do have the same problem with both of them. too politically correct to my liking.

For me that I have watched firstly the Fate/Zero, it was a boring episode because I already know about the Grail War.

Damn... that Gae Bolg scene is just as epic as I remember it. I'm sure it'll look even more epic in the 2014 version but for me, I find that watching a crappy version first will make the better version more enjoyable.

This episode wasn't too bad, it followed the VN as well as I remember and didn't skip parts like in the previous two episodes.

Lol so Rin decided to show herself in front of Emiya despite all this time she's been hiding this from him.

If only everyone doesn't interested on the Holy Grail. Speaking of interest, how did they know the existence of Holy Grail is a plot hole.

we've seen 3 masters and now 4 servants

little late, but i want to say this kid's friend who asked him to clean the archery room isn't a friend at all. he's an a-hole. and why does the a-hole's sister make him meals? he was injured a year ago? doing what?

did he touch the grail as a child and destroy the city?

Some people might find this episode but i actually find this interesting, now i kinda understand the plot more..

now i wonder what shirou would do considering that he wants to save everyone, will he really kill other masters or go for the servants?? and i wonder what his wish would be..

I really liked this episode. We got some interesting story information and it seems very promising to me. Also in the next seasons the animation will get insane so I'll keep watching this show.

This was very informative pack episode, that i'm surprised it didn't had even a slower pace lol.

i love emiya development so far. he's succeeding making good impression as one who doesn't want to fight, but interested in making justice
the way it seems, he's gonna try to kill only the servants.

wonder though what rin is thinking on his behalf.

An explanation episode, love it.
- Lancer's spear ignores armour? Isn't that just the same as Diarmuid's lancer class?
- Ooft, Saber is weak because Shirou is a noob
- KEREIII
- Glad to see the rules layed out again, making references to the 4th grail war which are explained in Fate/Zero.
- I wish i watched this before Fate/Zero, the information regarding the Grail choosing who is worthy would have explained a lot, such as why nobody other than Tokiyomi simply "camped". Also explains why Kerei teaming up with him was a bad move and killed him and took his servant. 
- Whoa, Illya's servant is massive, my guess is it's a berserker class servant?

For me the reason why Saber got sumoned by Shirou, is because of Shirou's sence of justice. Shirou has a big sence of justice, and paladins are suposed to have it to. Also they explain to us the rules of this war for the holy grail.

Spanish translation:
Para mi la razon por la que Saber fue invocada por Shirou es por el sentido de justicia de Shirou. Shirou tiene un gran sentido de la justicia, y los paladin se supone que lo tienen tambien. Tambien nos explicaron las reglas de está guerra por el santo grial.
