----------------------------------------
The subs are out already. As for my impression..amazing! I think I will put the series on the plan to watch. How could I miss all this? Really like the concept of the war and guardians in it. Especially Saber and Archer. Shirou and Rin are nice together as a pair.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Watching this without completing TV series first is completely pointless imo... Thora did TV in 720p.

Why would it be pointless since it's a condensation of the whole season like it says in the resume of this......it would better to have a whole view of it by seeing this first. It sure convinced me and did Thora do it in BD.....will check it.

Personally this is a good introduction but I am thinking for more details TV series seems to hold more.....which I will start soon myself since I found some nice quality in BD format.

There's one obvious drawback: less tenson when watchin the 'full' version. Fate anime might not have the best plot but tension buildups were solid. Recap looked to me almost as if someone did it in windows movie maker.

Anyway, have fun watching tv series ;]

The recap was a pretty nice job...It makes me consider dumping the old Fate folder and leave those two OVAs for future uses...Of course you miss out stuff I love,like more action in battles,buuuut...I can't decide,geez >.<

This is incredibly hard to follow without knowing all the points skipped in between. If you actually want to do the series justice, Read the Visual novel > Anime Series > Mango, but that's a different route > This.

It was... very fast-paced. Many of the character-building events were missed out, but the outline of the plot is there. The visual novel is still better in terms of the storytelling.

Manga. Not Mango. It's a book not some type of fruit

I will admit that the visual novel is better than the series but the series itself is pretty good.

Good episode, it's always good to remember such a fantastic anime, one of the best ever created IMO.

It felt rushed, I mean a lot.

Hmm, I agree with watching the whole tv series instead. These are good for re-watching, but you should watch the full tv series first.

Yeah... I wish they made a Hollow - Ataraxia season and probably a Zero season. But who knows?

At least I know for certain that sometime the Heaven's Feel arc it's going to get an adaptation. I mean, they hide the part when...

This stuff isn't there for nothing, we've got a Unlimited BladeWorks movie adaptation, so the last arc should come out anytime (not soon) given the popularity of the anime.

Well, its been like 4 years since they aired the anime.
I think its about time for a sequel.

They have lots of material to air.
JUST DO IT!

Quite unwatchable without watching the TV series first, the plot was skipping all over the place.

Fate Stay is good, but not impressed by reproduction. AT least don't give us that kinda horrible graphics X_X

The lazyness in the art is horrible. It's way too unrefined. Tss... Well, this is fine for a recap and that's the only reason why I'm watching this. Also to get my Archer-fix, of course.

Since I've dropped the series at episode 5 doesn't mean I dislike it, but I got tired of how it was presented. But this movie is just amazing, it wasn't rushed and was straight to the point

A great way to remember the series, but if you haven't seen the series I would stay away from this. It's basically just one big spoiler. It skips so much material, especially character development. You can't sense the tension between characters at all. But, if you've seen it, it's a great way to recap.

I need to get around to playing this game, I just know it's gonna take 4eva!

pretty much summarizing than remaking the first part of the anime.
this part was slow paced anyway, so you can say this part fixed much of those issues while removing most of the character development except some of shirou and syber. but otherwise there's lots of cuts that if without the anime you would understand their background. mostly syber running out to the shrine. so this is more of summarize than remaking the anime. (as reproduction literally sound)

i loved though how they remastered most of the art. most of the scenes looked so much better.

the problem will start with part 2, where the pace in the anime really picked up and was much more eventful. i suppose they will cut much more.
(or even remake the caster battle, as in the opening you can see archer fighting her?)
