Seemed like a trailer to me... I'd watch it if they decided to make it an original series. can't rate it high as I don't quite get what's going on in such a summary. Well, time flies, maybe they'll make something more.

I need a real series of this too. I liked it. And the girl will be better than Shiro, for sure.

The girl is like a less tsundere version of Tohsaka Rin so of course she'd be better than the "I have no individual personality and think women can't fight" Emiya Shirou.

I liked it. And I'm pretty sure they'll make TV version in a year or two :D I mean, it really seemed like "You'll watch" x3

At lest to me, this left much better impression than the Fate/Stay Night series. I wish they would make a full 24/26 episode series with this setting.

if male Saber and female Saber ever meet, they would look more like siblings and the ultimate dynamic duel!

where Female Saber is the younger but little more mature and strict sister, while male Saber is the older but laid back brother, haha that probably would be great to watch

this was quite a decent trailer but it was just a trailer so i cant rate it higher than a 7 really.
I would love to see a full adaption of this since it would be a darker fsn with a few characters i liked a bit more than the fsn versions.

I like how nearly all the voices were done by big names. It gives me hope that the top-brass out there are considering to do this.

Very interesting. It has potential. They should turn this into a full show, whether a TV series, an OVA or a movie. As the original idea for F/SN, it could very well work as an alternate universe. Here's to hoping that this is just a preview of their future plans.

geh... I wish they stayed with the original concept of the master of saber being a female, and saber being a male... I dislike the characters in fate/stay night, and I think the characters in this look loads more interesting. Ah well... its clear its never going to happen.

So heartbreaking D:

Such a sexy voicecast too, though the animation leaves a lot to be desired. Either way, DO WANT. Such an awesome teaser, seriously. I doubt we'll ever get anything more though D:

This was quite dark, which made me like it quite a bit more than Fate / Stay Night. I like the female Saber more though :3 The show would never be the same without her! but I still want a series from this xD

This would have been so much better than the original series. Toning down Tohsaka and making her the main character is a nice touch and I really like male Saber's personality too. Not to mention Gilgamesh sounds awesome with Nakamura Yuuichi's voice. We would have lost an Archer but at least there wouldn't be a Shirou either. No more SEIBAH SEIHBAH SEIBAH would have made it more pleasurable.

I'm surprise they manage to improve an idea like this. The current release is very good but the initial concept was was far from weak. A movie format would be interesting to see how this flesh out.

This is already fifty thousand times better than Fate/Stay Night due to the lack of Shirou. Glasses-chan is actually REALLY CUTE and apparently somewhat competent, and Saber is absolutely swoonworthy (not that she wasn't as a chick, but the VA this time around is Sakurai Takahiro!!) Animations and backgrounds are gorgeous; I actually found myself staring at the greenhouse when Ayaka first ran in, just because of the amount of details on the plants.

Not much development, and way too much what-could-have-been to make me happy if this doesn't get turned into a full series (or at least a movie). But what I did get out of that twelve minutes was some delighted fangirling, so I'm content for now.

thats kinda ironic, since the review for this one mentions it the opposite, this girl wants nothing to do with the grail war, while shirou actually decided to take matters into his own hands and become a hero

Man, I would REALLY love to see this. I definitely like Ayaka (well, what little we see of her) better than Shirou. I am also really blown away by how dark and gritty it seems. It'd be super cool if they could develop this into a series. Also, I love how I could pinpoint almost every seiyuu because they've used such big names in this OVA.

I definitely thought it was very interesting to see! Seeing all the characters come to life when they where still only being developed on the drawing board, that's some good fan stuff *v*

Though honestly all I could think about was the cast! Nakamura Yuuichi, Nakai Kazuya, Takahiro Sakurai & Miyano Mamoru OMG *W* As much as I love the cast in FSN (I mean it has Sugiyama Noriaki and Suwabe Junichi =w=) Fate/Prototype sure has one hell of a VA cast *Q*

From some data of interview with the mushroom (I mean... Kinoko), we can tell that he likes writing from his very early age, and some story kind like fate where magicians summon some heroes in a war for grail came into his mind when he was still in high school. That is what we see now. So Prototype is something like draft, not even a parallel world.
Saber still Arthur, but a male now.
Lancer still Cu Chulain, but years younger.
Archer still Gil, and no archer EMYA exists.
Berserker still Heracles.
Rider then Persus.

For Ayaka and Shirou, personally I find them share nothing except they are both the first main chara..

Thanks, but no thanks. Glad to see they scrapped those character designs and the story. The new MC is not even remotely as interesting as Shirou was (i know, i know small sample size, but "my family is making me fight in this war and take my sisters place", doesn't really excite me. In fact it's a bit generic). The one thing that did interest me however was the new Saber. It would be cool to see what Saber as a man would be like, but I wouldn't prefer him over female saber.

Basically I'm just glad F/SN is what it is. This OVA was nice, but lets see a F/SN remake (or HF) first or even a Tsukihime remake rather than a series of this.

More than the characters of Prototype I would like to learn the rules of this Grail War and the laws of magic that exist in the universe of it.As from what I saw there probably are some changes from the Nasuverse we know.

Hmm, well I doubt that they would be as polished as the rules we have now, but it would be cool to know what he had planned regardless. I'm not so sure he had different rules though, I think he had a blue print, which he then messed around with until he found something he liked. I think I would like to see which new heroic spirits would have been thrown into the mix as well.As a matter of fact I think it would be cool if we got to see some of the earlier grail wars and which heroes they featured.

Well said, especially 1st and 3rd HGWars.The 1st for the creation of the greater grail and Zouken(even if I hate him in FZ FSN)being like Kiritsugu ,maybe we will see Zeltrech too and the 3rd for the corruption of the grail.

I actually think there could be some potential here, and it kind of felt like a trailer to a possible TV series or Movie. The male Saber seemed kind of dull, though and it was kind of hard to get a real feel for it. It felt kind of twisted, though, and that kind of interested me. Particularly the priest guy and the Ilya look alike.

They really did change everything after deciding the sexes of Saber and the master, didn't they? "Gil" had a different appearance (though he still seemed plenty cocky) and I noticed that he was after Ayaka in this version. Other than that, if all the voices playing at one time I wasn't really sure what to focus on.

All in all, I wouldn't mind seeing them do something more with this. But, I would definitely prefer Fate/stay night or Tsukihime, actually both, to get proper anime treatment first.

This was pretty good, it seemed darker than the TV series as well which made me like it even more. I think it would be a waste to not do anything at all with this, at the very least a movie should be made, although I would prefer a full 12 or 24 episode tv like they did with the original fate tv series.

Wow, male Saber, welcome to the fourth dimension.

Seriously though, it wasn't bad: more blood, more tattoos, more black magic, more ecchi, I could watch that. But yeah, they did good in getting rid of the angel stuff, this has been overdone. And the priest really looked retarded.

There's no actual Fate/Prototype script written. This trailer was based on some scrapped material that eventually turned into Stay Night. They could hire someone to make a story out of it if they wanted though, the premise is already there.

Excellent animation to this so far.

That scene with the knife and the bird was kinda scary tbh. Anyways, the episode was fucking epic. The fight scenes and the montage of what's happening according to the servants/contracts. DO WANT. 8/10.

Credit song is pretty good also. Wow, I hope this becomes an official anime series someday tbh. 8/10.
