It feels like he literally hears the people who have died in the grail wars in his head? Its definitely kept my interest at least, and Nero is cute as hell. Not sure if I am going to love it as much as regular extra but I don't think at this point it ever intended to be that, which is fine, long as it stays good. I need subs now rip :< The original writer of FSN said in interview that he wrote thr script to this anime and made some changes to fate/extra story so it match better to anime format |
| How are you all watching it? All my usual places such as 9anime, kiss anime and gogoanime don't have it up yet and its been a bit after the release :/ |

I'm honestly surprised there aren't fansub groups willing to do this show yet they end up subbing for things that already have official releases, but I sound pretty entitled right now so I'll shut up. There's no real incentive for them to do so anyway other than our anon "thanks" because that means a lot. |

| Shaft being Shaft, they probably would do various types of Opening like they did with Monogatari. Same with the Ending I suppose. |
 |
| Since the episode is not out yet I just went ahead and watched the opening since some people mentioned some of the lacking visuals. It looks to me like the opening might be an evolving one that had other people cut out, the shadows Nero that fighting just seemed like holders to me. Then again I might just be wrong and this is the final version of this opening. |

| Pretty cool, so this isn't going to be the same as the game. That's for sure. For people that's wondering why the OP is so weird and bad. All those shadows Nero fighting could be Servants that aren't announced or seen yet. Some anime does this so it won't spoiler. All those shadows might be replaced at episode 12 or 14 when the second cour comes! |
| Still confusing what's happening, mb even more. The beginning reminded even more the monogatari style with the music. The fanservice part, after bath was mentioned was obvious what's coming, thought it was a weird segment, felt kinda out of place. Not a fan of both OP and ED. Really different Saber, a bit strange and a bit funny. That ending, that was pretty interesting. |

Nisekoi.....Zaregato....Shaft being Shaft, they probably would do various types of Opening like they did with Monogatari. Same with the Ending I suppose. Well, all I can do is wait till Shaft either prove me right or wrong. But think about it, focusing one opening song on just one single character in a series like Fate!? Surely, you can understand that's not natural. |
|
| Wonder what role Rin(?) plays in all this... Fun ep and I really like talkative Saber. |
| I need sleep. |
| How come a lot of people are asking for subs if I already saw it the Saturday with Spanish subs? o_O I thought English subs were faster than Spanish |
| There can not be a single world in the Nasu-verse in which Shinji isn't a huge fucking dirt bag. Nah, it's way more frequent for Spanish subs to be out before the English ones, if it's fan translations. |

| I'm surprised that I was not as gung-ho during this episode. I enjoyed it but not to the extent that I thought. Though I hope they add in more FGO cameos like with Darius, Fergus and Leonidas further down the line and PLEASE let Tamamo also be Hakuno's other servant (if he ever will have one)! |
| Now i know that im watching Fate/Extra, because of that bath scene lol. Shinji become finally a harem king. Hakuno is making a habit of being stabbed by other people, Fanservice Saber hmmm. Also they put umu counter in the subs, what a splendid idea. Also yeah, they really go with different scenarios from the original, im curious where this will lead us. |
 |
| So many beautiful girls, I like Shinji's taste. |
 |
| mwaaa...not really impressed yet - only gonna watch it cuz it's Fate expected more of the opening - hope the animation gets better (this doesn't even come near to Zero/UBW/Apocrypha) |
| Confusing. Though Red Saber is going to keep me interested moreso than the other Fate series, I have no idea what is going on. |
 |
| Watched it with subs~ Opening: The song is great, the sequence is a bit underwhelming but I still like it. Saber with hair down? Absolutely gorgeous and badass! Episode: - How is Hakuno not disturbed at all with Saber naked right in front of him? - The first floor really caught me off guard... Well since this probably won't follow exactly like the game, I'm liking it so far~ - UMU! - Loving Saber so far~ - (Rider looks nice though~) - Saber's reaction to those girls (Shinji's harem?!) was priceless! - Shinji in a rich man's suit? Still an asshole. Also, the Shaft headtilts have finally come~ - WHAT THE FUCK, HAKUNO?! Ending: Love the music, love the art style, love the Hakuno and Saber arts... Nothing to complain about here~ I just really hope it DOESN'T follow the Extella story. I'm sorry, I want Hakuno to stick with Saber only and not a harem. Left me completely intrigued! I DEMAND FOR MORE! |

 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| Hmm, this episode is so much better than the previous one. UMU! |

| damn, this is looking good already better than Apocrypha |
| I have no idea wtf any of you are saying, you’re all speaking some made up gibberish language made up of umu’s and nero’s and what have you... Probably a good thing, because I feel like I would be spoiled about, well... something, if I could understand you. |
| this series is decent; it garners a 7/10 rating for me. But I hate to say, it doesn't hold a flame to F/Z or UBW |

| The first episode was alright if a little unclear, while this one, despite trying to explain various bits and pieces, was almost entirely nonsensical, and Red Saber was largely extremely annoying. Other than that, all I definitely got from this episode is Shinji is his usual asshole self (did we expect anything less?), Rin is watching from afar and Hakuno has some other power we have yet to fully understand, but is likely to be where we start from next week. |
| Good episode! Shaft did justice to Umu, that's all I needed tbh |

Rider from F/Z is what did it for me in those first couple eps. And the intrigue behind Shirou in UBW's first couple eps after seeing the finale of F/Z and the prologue to UBW is what's hooked me there. This one isn't bad - I'm not saying that - its just pretty vague to this point (this is coming from someone who hasn't played the games or Read the fate series prior to watching it) whereas the other series (F/Z especially) gave a good amount of background and explanation. |

Alternative-IV said: J_LEE_C said: this series is decent; it garners a 7/10 rating for me. But I hate to say, it doesn't hold a flame to F/Z or UBW Zero had a pretty lackluster couple of episodes before it started to become decent, let alone good... Unless you find 60 plus minutes of exposition and people walking in circles engaging. There's far more here going on than in Zero they're just not spoon-feeding you the details and leaving plot threads open to expand upon later. While I'm expecting it to fall flat on it's face later, so far this is easily a stronger couple introductory episodes than what Zero had. See, I like the 'lackluster' episodes that you describe in F/Z. And I liked the extended ep 1's in F/Z and UBW that helped give a good background and setting (see my above comment, this is from someone who hasn't played the games or read any of the Fate series either). So the extra background was nice for me in that regard. I'm not saying this is a bad series at all. I'm just saying my personal preference is for F/Z and UBW. |

That first episode is long-winded, and I'd be lying if I said I was fully engaged. But, in it's defense, it actually takes the time to explain the world and the plot, so you actually understand what the fuck is going on. The first two episodes of Extra are kinda a jumbled mess in comparison. It's a little easier when you already understand what the Fate franchise is about, but it's still confusing. I wouldn't fault anyone for not understanding any of the story so far because they haven't really explained anything. Also, and this is just my opinion, I think the first two episodes of Zero were more interesting than Extra. |

That's fine but it's still way too early to be tossing a number on this series unless you drop it, since it's purposefully being vague on the details. I won't drop it, I don't drop anything once I've started it. But I appreciate @Kittens-kun above comment because that's the perfect summation of what I was trying to say, with better wording. |

| I didn't really like nero before starting this series. I've only watched the fate animes and played fgo. Now after this, I think I can see her as a waifu. She has her cute and badass side. And is quite talkative as opposed to the blue counter part. I think I can like this show now. However, this whole story is still quite confusing. Nothing is really explained yet and I guess the only reason people are watching is because they've seen everything else for fate and can maybe piece it together. Because in my opinion, I'm not seeing anything that saying "hey you should stay and find out what happens next" They literally stated there's no one else to fight. Everyone sold their servants But I've probably missed something along the way so that could be why it seems strange to me. |

First off that's an HF spoiler, second off not likely since |
| Can't say I'm big fan of the OP but maybe I'll like it overtime, it certainly has some style and it's unusual for an anime OP to have only one character appear in it. I knew the mayor would be Shinji lmao, alot of other people also probably saw him coming because of the security girls. "Be grateful that the mayor is a man of culture aswell" Oh Saber, if only you knew who you were complementing.. Someone told Shinji to "Kill someone who's the easiest to kill" a woman's voice? could it be that mysterious Amari girl who appeared in the last episode? nobody knows. So Shinji has created an utopia for masters in this floor, they can live here with NPCs forever in exchange for giving up on their servants and the grail war, what a horrible deal lol, How can you be sure that Shinji will be able hold this floor for himself and the Moon Cell won't be able to do anything about him if it feels like it. Wasn't expecting to see those three servants as Berserkers here, FGO stuff just flowing into Fate anime so much nowadays. It seems Hakuno can't die? he managed to survive alot of things that should have killed him in the first episode aswell, he also seems to be haunted by the images of other fallen students and has deep hatred for the moon cell. "I.. with this hatred alone" hatred is going to be what empowers him in his battles. |
| Not going to get involved in or make a long winded discussion. I'm quite pleased with this adaptation. Shaft really hit the nail on the head with Red Sabers character and over-the-top motions. They also did the SE.RA.PH skylines justice from what i remember in the games. Not enough nudity. |
  |
| To me, Shaft adapt this so well. The story is going like Monogatari. |
 |
| lol, I really liked this change in the First Stratum, but I think it would have worked better as a game now. RIP Nameless masters with their funny stories from the game. My boy Shinji finally showing why he is the Asian Champion with some SUPAH HACKA skills, way to go my boy, way to go. This "MUH HATE" memes are shit until now btw. Fanservice Saber is nice, Shaft knows what to do. oh and rin's armpits are nice. whens my little king Leo tho? 5/5. |

| I think we're in a good place right now. Isn't as if the main characters have a full grasp on what is going on. Saber was pretty clearly confused by things not being as she expected and Hakuno himself clearly doesn't have a full grasp of what is going on in general due to a lack of memories. Not the first time the audience has been left as unsure about the details as the characters themselves. This episode did a solid job of explaining some things and how things should be. While also getting across that something is wrong here. The mystery factor has me intrigued. What is going on? Last episode we were told that Hakuno was a miraculous or impossible existence as the 129th master. In a tournament setting that should only have had 128 of them. They are also pointing at some sort of time skip. The woman in the bar mentioned long-term sleep. I guess she presumes that they were in stasis or something which would explain why a new master/servant pair would appear after time has passed. This city didn't just pop into existence and people didn't get bored of the party in the handful of minutes it took Hakuno to summon Saber and start riding the elevator. This Saber is pretty darn entertaining. She has confidence, boldness, and is openly excited about things that she likes. Also pretty ready to fight. I'm glad the OP/ED are free of even hinting at what is coming. Keeping the surprise factor going. So far I think they are doing a good job. |
Lunarhawk said: Quick question - Is this an adaptation of F/E's red saber route or an original story that could be a 4th route kinda thing (which I think CCC already is) that you wont get as much out of if you don't know the game's story? I tried to play F/E once but found the actual gameplay so unbelievably garbage to the point it was offensive to even call it a game that I didn't finish the first dungeon. I also started w/ castko so can't really compare if the routes were maybe just that different to know offhand about red sabers This is anime-original, and according to Nasu's blog here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1702562 it's supposed to be something that can be experienced and enjoyed without knowledge from the game, but this is Fate and anime so idk if things will go according to plan for once. If the story is what you're interested in then you can watch a youtube walkthrough or play the game on easy mode I guess. |
