| The story is still utter nonsense but at least this wepisode was far more watchable than that trainwreck last week. Nero is an interesting character and reason enough to stick with it and hope it improves further. |
| This episode was a little better than the first but Shaft need to drop the more extreme monogatari stuff, it's weird and out of place in this show. |

Onepieceuc1 said: It's undeniably true that you can watch it without playing the game but with it existing now, I consider them as two different experiences of the same work. Reading Hakuno's mind, the slower development, the fact the story's "different" on the original version, it makes them two faces of the same coin, and it's good to know both in that way, they complement each other. Honestly I don't think you should watch it without playing the game-there's a lot you'll miss out on. Hakunon is just a random person in the opening sequence of last episode to non players, for instance. They'd miss Hakunos usage of ore instead of boku, and the different implications of character those two pronouns carry, and the way that reflects in his character so far. Nero saying "it's you again" will be more ??? if you haven't watched it. In this episode, they see the school flashback to where Shinji stabbed Hakuno in the game instead of the red hallway in the anime. Nero noting it's a different floor. Shinjis change from last episode to this one because of spoiler reasons, etc. And ofc, of paramount importance, Hakuno dismissing the importance of his memories compared to his other iterations who worry profusely about their loss. And Hakuno's name is written differently in jp than the way it normally is. |

| All he needs is the hatred. Hell yeah boi. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| The OP didn't show too much, but it looked and animated nicely and went well with the song. The ED song was also good, but the visuals were very impressive though. =) The episode itself felt a lot less confusing than episode one, which Saber thankfully explained a lot to Hakuno, even while bathing nude in the bath with him and also had many good views of her massive tits too. Lucky bastard! =P Shinji might look impressive doing the infamous head tilt, but he's still an asshole through and through, so I hope he tastes defeat in the next episode, where Hakuno's transformation did surprise me. |
| Umu long hair is similar to shinobu i think? Nice to see umu bath scene, and drake there is a servant right? And oh god shinji again , he is more of a liar then kirei , so he possesses multiple servant. I hope sub come faster next week And hell hakuno really like to get stabbed and survive |
| Lol@ Shinji getting called a man of culture and that umu counter. I didn't think I'd like umu Saber with long hair but the OP made me think otherwise. Not gonna lie, it's pretty catchy. This was definitely a much better episode than the previous one. Oh and nice cameos from F/GO Servants. |
 |
| Man Monogatari vibes are being tipped in this. I'm not complaining. And nice OP. Nero Nudity, top kek. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| haha... Shaft studios... This is exactly like watching Monogatari except with different characters. The Saber CV is very lively and cute too. Thought it wouldn't work out as well as it did after ep 1 but when they entered the city it sounded pretty cute and convincing. |

| What is going on haha. This episode made me definetly curious. |
| Speaking of change i wonder what they will do with or which route they will use for Anime. And of course i am also want to know what they will do with Mouloxas said: Both the OP and ED songs are great, but the visuals, especially in the OP are really disappointing. Well, it's Shaft, so there will probably be multiple OPs, or they will just change the shadows Saber fights into servants (though they have already revealed most servants in the PVs and even then, that wouldn't really improve the OP) ZBlastHistory said: It's called Seiyuu joke Because Hakuno on this anime so far also doing thing Touma do like. - badly injured every single time - Irregular on magic world. - Bad Luck. After reading this i'm expecting Hakuno to defeat Shinji's harem by punching them in the face. Shinji! don't force your ideal to other master! This is for all servant who suffer because of this! |
| Into the Internet! |
Ever feel like there are too many Sabers who look exactly the same? |

|
| I see someone has a problem with their eyes. |
| Found this thoroughly enjoyable. I'm once again surprised the ratings are so average. That aside, I would have been so hard if I were the protagonist in that bath scene. I would either have to transfer my mana to Saber to the point of depletion or end up in a really embarrassing situation, develop insomnia and finally break my contract with her to be able to sleep again. |
| Good episode. Interesting, with terms like NPC, Floor and Firewall being thrown around, it seems like this is some kind of virtual world that's stuck in some sort of game loop? Nero seems to call it the Spirit world though. Speaking of which, Nero is adorable. Love the way she was fawning over stuff. <3 Still not the biggest fan of Hakuno but he's alright and a huge improvement from Sieg in Apocrypha. That ending though. :o |
 |
| Oooooh booooooiiii. 2 episodes in and I already think this is the best show in the season. Although its competition is pop team epic and violet evergarden, so thats not saying a whole lot. But, nevertheless, I’m fucking loving this show! |
 |
| It hurts to have to say this, but 1/5 And only because I cannot choose 0/5 The opening of this show is some of the most blatant and shameless fanservice I have ever witnessed in the Fate series. A franchise that had once given us such thought provoking and awe inspiring insights into history has now degraded into naked bath exposition. For those of you who winced during the original H-scenes in Fate/Stay Night: you will be praying for dolphins. Hakuno has the same bland and dumbfounded facial expression in absolutely every situation regardless of what is happening. Whether he is taking a bath, eating out, mocked by Shinji, or being stabbed by the platoon of Officer Jennys And once again, the gore porn is ridiculous. Every moment of violence seems to have been fantasized by the animators given how much they glorify every spurt of blood. Hakuno is little more than a blood balloon to be popped every episode to appease the audience of "edgy" sickos who are foaming at the mouth. One positive that I will credit this series is how groundbreaking the design of the city itself is. There are lots of bright colours and interesting designs throughout. At least, it would have been groundbreaking had Gankutsuou not done the same thing over a decade ago - and infinity better than it is here. |

| Drake hype God bless Shaft and their head tilts. Tbh the opening looks lame af. Such a shame since the song is awesome. |
 |
| Pretty good opening. I liked this episode a lot more,since it was more comprehendable. And I'm kinda looking forward to how the fight against Shinji continues. Also got another shaft bath scene,tho it wasn't as good,cause I thought that the drawing of Sabers face looked a bit weird. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Haha that's right Saber fangirl over the police force. More yummy imaginative yuri for me. (now why didn't you pick Hakunon- /wacked, okay okay I'll shut up qq.) Awesome episode <3 |

| still doesn't really understand about the world setting but hey, we got Nero fanservice so it's good enough |
| Dear SHAFT, We need more umu. Your anime's viewer. |
| As expected from a fate series |
| BRAWLERS |
| Well, this is being lit af... It seems that we are finally getting a good Fate Series since Fate/Zero. As for the episode, the OP is lit af and Long-haired Saber? Hell yes... I smell a new waifu coming to planet Fate... The ED is preety cool and the art style is quite unique... I've only watched 3 episode of Bakemonogatari but I can already see that this is Shaft's signature and I like it baby... 8/10 episode |
| This episode is a huge improvement from the first. The best part about this is that it's the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of Fate Stay Night in the sense that we get a cheerful Saber, better politics involved and a DAMN good MC. Hakuno will save anime :P But seriously, I had high expectations before the show and was severely disappointing in the first episode. This changed it all. An excellent OP (long haired Saber <3), the brilliant politics involved, Hakuno, Shinji (of course. He's best character XD), great fight scene and once again Hakuno at the end was O_O. Did I mention that the ED was brilliant as well? Man I'm so excited for the next episode! |

| I don't like how the anime literally shits on the source material. The story is so different from the game ! |
| Ok, I'll ask it... Is this going to have an uncensored version in the future or what? |
GLORIA FORTIS MILES |
| "This mooncell is an eyesore!" Absolutely kino |
 |
| I was expecting it to be different but not so much! The whole virtual world theme was wasted when limited in a generic school environment and some abstract dungeons in the original but now they can make each level an entire different world! And the plot seems away more interesting and twisted too. I really like the shaft art style but the production values don’t seem to be that high. Mayor Shinji/10 Anowser said: I don't like how the anime literally shits on the source material. The story is so different from the game ! They are not adapting the game(Thankfully) but a new novel Nasu wrote for the anime. So no they are not shiting on anything. |

| Shaft bath time. In other news, I can, in now way, take this Saber even a little seriously. Her voice, her face, and how she was memed to death on my Tumblr, prevents me from doing so. Theres a permanent image of a small, proud, derpy looking red saber etched into the back of my eyes that will never leave. Also... she has quite the chest... Anyway, anime has taken quite a strange turn right off the bat. I have no clue where this Grail War is going at all, what I do know is that were two episodes again, and our MC has once again, found himself full of holes. He's gonna be a slice of swiss cheese by the end of this anime if this keeps up. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Fun fact: Deadface is one of the few intelligible phrases that you can write in hexadecimal. Fits perfectly in a 4 byte (or 32 bit) block, and will probably trigger an invalid memory access error. Translates to 11011110101011011111101011001110 in binary. Hakuno's got something really interesting about him this time, it looks like... can't wait to see where this goes. |
| Again, I have no idea why they had to recycle Shinji and Tohsaka as major/potentially major characters in Extra. There's zero reason why they couldn't just come up with new characters. This is a new setting after all. |

| I don't know what to expect from the rest of the show but so far this feels like a "Fate meets Monogatari" kinda thing and I'm loving it. Plus Rin is there for some reason.. I'm sold. |

| UMU shinji the usual douchebag well i guess ill enjoy seeing him die and cry in agony that fucking ego really pisses me off |
