He didn't miss nothing by skipping the F/SN anime.Wheeljack539 said:Studio DEEN did drop the ball on more than a few things (the hardcore FSN fans will tell you EVERYTHING was bad, but...::shrugs:but it was still a good story all on its own, however I do agree that the VN are much better.
Nice ideas but a bad show overall.

Episode 7
Waver and Rider are the best. I love how he gets so worked up, though in the end is always willing to do for Rider. That is how I imagine ones relationship with their servant should be.
I hope Ryuunosuke gets more screentime. ..and the conditions for losing in this war need to spelled out, is it elimination if master is killed?

However I greatly dislike how they treat Saber. Kiritsugu seems to not even care about her and ignores all but Maiya at times, and even worst, only irisviel cares about Saber. I will be mad if their downfall is because of Kiritsugu's incompetence. Though his fight with the mage was pretty cool. I was hoping Waver would defeat the mage though, which doesnt seem likely based on the title for the next episode, if a mage will truly be killed.

Am I alone in being kinda okay with the Caster/Ryu censorship? I mean, the pillar-shots felt really awkward(even before I knew they were censoring something), but at the same time I think that the show benefited from not shoving child-torture/mutilation in the viewer's face.
I feel like the show is walking a very narrow line between generic anime and "SO DARK AND EDGY, MAN," and it'll lose a lot of the magic if it strays too far in either direction.
A good example was Caster's introductory scene. They didn't show anything, but it was still both chilling and brutal.

Even when uncensored on Blu-ray, I do not expect that the show will be particularly gratuitous. The direction is relatively classy in general, so there's no reason they'll be extremely gross for no reason. Will there be more visual gore? Yes, for sure. But the main issue of censorship is not so much censoring pure violence, but also not specifically depicting the harm of minors. The TV station doesn't want to get into trouble, so they're cutting down on what they already have.

The lack of angsty child/teenage Masters makes F/Z so much better, doesn't it? And no, Waver doesn't count, he's awesome and finally gowing a spine.
Loved the last scene in 7
, can't wait for 8.

I was afraid the cast would be a bit too aged for me to enjoy it but it has really surprised me to have found some favorites among them and their interactions, I guess the benefit is since they are older the conversations between character feel more enriched and deeper.

Episode 8
That was hot. I think Irisviel is definitely up there now as one of my favorite characters in this first half of the anime.
The first half of the episode was cool. Kayneth v Kiritsugu will remain a memorable part of the series.

Sure she ended up being defeated but that falcon bird was hot and she even bound Kirie

Basically, it tears down the opponent's Magic Circuits, then connects it back together incorrectly so that it can't be repaired. The more mana the opponent uses against the bullet, the further the damage goes.

When she bound that guy to the tree why didnt the other girl shoot him?
I was there yelling at the tv "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ATTACK HIM NOW!!!"

Said gal was already pretty messed up, and probably shocked that said dude had just been handled, however temporarily, by Irisviel.
Loved the episode though, even if I was hoping Rider would pop out and start randomly running over Cthuluoids like driving around a freaking racetrack.
And just like every other episode, maybe even moreso, I can't help but wonder what the uncensored cut of this ep will contain considering this one was fairly graphic compared to prior.
Same reason why Kiritsugu meticulously planned out how to surprise Kayneth last week, but decided to shout out his name before he even attacked. Lol.

For episode 9, I must say that this anime continues to be one where little to no action still makes for an interesting and watchable show.
Rider and Waver continue to make the show utterly worthwhile.
This is my favorite team as I love their bond and one must admit, it would be great if Waver rose to the occasion and enhances his mage skills to actually continue to survive in this.

I did think it odd that they were the only ones actually focused on taking down Caster, who, by the way, is never around Ryuunusuke apparently? Is he going to forever be hidden behind the scenes?
Is a Kayneth, Sola-Ui, Lancer love complex forming? Hopefully Lancer has learned from his past with getting involved in a relationship with a married woman and will avoid any action with Sola-Ui. Kayneth is just uninteresting and made me wonder how he got involved with Sola-Ui who seems like she has ulterior motives not in line with her husband. It seemed that she lied to Lancers face about what she wants to with the Holy Grail though, but I think she is actually falling for Lancer

Decent episode 10. They make it easy to be disappointed to be a Ryuunosuke fan. Really,
.
The best song in the OST was during the climax of this episode though.
just standing there doing nothing as Rin fights back? Seriously.

The parts with Rin in the alleyway, being saved by Kariya and picked up by Aoi (with Aoi's conversation with Kariya) were pretty much canon to the novel. She did go out, and she did go looking for Kotone, however all the stuff at the beginning with her classmates and the end with that was anime only.
Also, sadly,
Rin never found Kotone in the novel nor encountered Ryuunosuke.

I couldnt even tell it was filler. It was still pretty decent though.

I'm referring to the Fate/Zero novels, which this series is based off of.
It is not the Fate/Stay Night visual novel.
I don't want to know anything! I don't care! I ignore all source material because everything takes away from the perfection of the anime! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Edit: It's like how people who never read A Song of Ice and Fire don't want to discuss the novels in the Game of Thrones HBO threads.

Im going to assume that all the real action will just take place in the Spring half of the show. I liked how the discussion was handled, though I wish the masters would actually do it too.
Waver has had no interaction with no one else.

You can't kill off too many characters too early, especially when master/servants can't just be replaced by different characters.
And assassin did get offed this week.

Not to mention two certain Masters that have been alluded to be on a collision course that I'm hoping will be done well.

Nothing much to say for episode 12 as it was once again just an intriguing discussion. I can only hope that the point of a break this winter season is that every episode in the second half of this series will be straight up fighting.
Confused how

Kirei got a seal
Fuck yeah. I just watched that episode and he is easily the best character.

Damn Waver is so cute.
Gonna cry after Saturday. Split cour is just so evil, this season is obviously going to end on some cliffhanger which will make me bash my head against a wall for a couple months.

So many things I dont understand about the set, why so many Blu-Ray discs for 13 episodes (like 5 discs)? Why is the set not in HD sound quality?
No more Fate/Zero until April. 
Not a particular good set of episodes to end a "season" on either. Ep12-13 were basically just build up episodes which lead to the next major action set piece. They should have ended it at ep11 for the season imo. The pacing is going to seem really weird having to wait over 3 months, and suddenly getting a huge action episode opening the next season. Although, I guess there's a chance that they probably plan on doing a quick re-run of the entire season some time in March.

Darn, Im going to miss hearing Oath Sign for awhile. I wonder if they will use a different opening and ending for the next set or keep the same.

Episode 13
Well I liked it, then again when your two favorite masters are there its hard to not like the episode. I enjoyed how they made up for all the lost time with Ryuunosuke and developed Waver and Rider.
Terrible cliffhanger though, Fate Zero 2nd cant come fast enough.

Just watched this all the way to Ep 13...
Hot damn this shit was good
! The last 2 episodes felt kinda slow though the ending for 13th was awesome. Tohsaka episode was also... shitty. Not needed at all.
Very pumped for the next season. First truly decent anime in a LONG while

Did you miss Madoka, or something? It's even written by the same dude.
Oh yeah Madoka was nice too, excuse me
. The moe turned me off but at least it was decent and fun.Fate Zero is still better for having no moe and no freaking emo kids. Oh and an awesome OST. And amazing animation for a TV show. And excellent voice acting. And an interesting plot at least pertaining to the characters.
