Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
So it doesn't get better after Episode 1?
With the exception of the Candy fight. Dual tech was good stuff though, even though the cg flame was indeed lame.
After rewatching it, I actually like the first episode of F/Z. Yeah it's a lot of dialogue but a lot of it was necessary in order to introduce the characters and their motives. I have a better grasp of the rivalry between Kiritsugu and Kirei and after spending some time with the VN I have a greater appreciation for some of the supporting characters too.
Not gonna lie though, the last few minutes of that episode were so great.

In time you will come to appreciate the work in its entirety. Then you will be one of us.

The first episode was awesome
I just wish all of the episodes were that long!

Who do we trust? Mickey Mouse from Fantasia, or Medaka dissing Cowboy Bebop?

I'm also a Nichijou Bro, and so far I disagree. Well, back to Episode 2.

Well, at least, one Nichijou Bro, I meant. ;P
Keep watching!
Fantasia is always the correct answer.

The information presented was necessary, but they didn't always present it in a way that made sense in a visual medium.

Mickey Mouse from Fantasia was a lazy slob who fails at magic though...
That's how you know he won't lie to you, because he is incapable of enchanting you to believe lies. See?

I thought you were a bro, but this is the final straw.
You know how I feel about Rider, Envelope!
Everyone must witness his glory. Usagi can wait!
No, but see, it's totally fine because something visual is occurring while words come out of their mouths:
LOL
It does. But around episode ten, I personally couldn't be assed to continue. I didn't think it was bad, I'm not even sure I considered it boring - I just lost interest. It's one of the shows that are kind of just there. YMMV.
The one scene where I can agree with that is the
Church scene where Kirei is introduced
Aoi and him wanting to save Sakura but at a really heavy price
Edit - lol @ the above post

Hey, some of the characters aren't bastards. Granted, some of the other characters are even bigger bastards than you realize, so I suppose it doesn't balance out very well. And some of the characters that I think aren't bastards will probably be revealed to be bastards before the show is over. Okay, yeah, the show is pretty bastardly. But so is humanity!
There's more shock value yet to come, but it's not too bad for the most part.
I think you'll like Rider, though. He's kind of the opposite of all that.
If anyone can do it, the good doctor can.

You dropped just before the best episode. What a shame.

Naughty choice!
Did you stop after Episode 10?!
If you did, that's a very bad stopping point. (Seriously)
You should really move onto 11!
So I dreamt last night about Nyaruko,dammit stop invading me in my dreams with your genki cuteness!!

Ouch. Not too much on Envelope, they're mah friend
damn even I think fate/zero is great (no it's not the second coming, there like 3 incredibly shit episodes,bad cg and some of the character design look like ugly fan art) apart from that it's great.
Took me 3-4 trys to get pass episode 1 so bad, should of listen to gaf and read it on wikipedia instead
Episode 11 is awesome
I don't remember. Around episode 10. Might have been after ep 11. No idea. I don't even remember what happened in the last episode I watched.
Heh we'll see. Hang in there!

I haven't seen the opinion that Fate/Zero is a drop in quality from ufotable's earlier works expressed before. Which ones in particular do you hold in high esteem?
Ultimadrago

More like 11 to reach its best. I'd say it's good quite a ways before then, but hey, maybe a numerous amount of AnimeGaf doesn't agree with me.
I'm not the biggest F/Z fan, but it is definitely much better than Kara no Borekai.

Biggest problem I have with fate zero is the complete lack of urgency.
You do realize nothing is gonna really happen until the last handful of eps =/

I think it's great from the first episode. Episode 11 is certainly fantastic, bu the show was great long before then. The first few episodes make it pretty clear how special the series is going to be. Some of the later episodes just elevate it even further.
Yeah with previous ufotable shows you had to wait "____" for it to get good, oh wait they never got good ever!

Eh. If you already feel that indifferent/repulsed towards it that you won't even review parts of the episode, I don't see the next few changing your mind. Don't have much else to say, besides that the people here that enjoy it do so for a reason (hell, more than one). YMMV, etc., etc.
You still mah Nichijou Bro, but wish you could have shared in the enjoyment.

'cause I like the OP.
I haven't you played a jrpg before? you have to invest at least 15hour before it starts to get good.
Because AnimeGAF something something, even said it in the post!
So the strongest attack in the entire show
The final arc was easily the best part of the show, I just wish that troll-mode Dune had more screentime.
If HeartCatch had been a 2 season show, instead of 4, it would have been a lot better than it already is. A lot of the fluff episodes could have been cut out, and then you would have all the real story and action episodes, which would have nicely filled out a 24 or 26 episodes show. Not everything needs 50 episodes, Toei.
As it is, it started out slow, picked up steam around half way, then spiraled into the stratosphere with the final 5 or so episodes.
Longer haired, girly Itsuki is truly a miracle of the universe.
is a straight punch.

Poor Yuri really didn't get much out of this, her father tried to make a clone to replace her, and then dies right after they get reunited. And Dark Precure didn't survive either. And they didn't even show her making the winning pose with the other Precure.

The best face to make just after you've saved the world

Tales of Symphonia, Manabi Straight, Kara no Kyoukai.
Those are all total garbage when compared to Fate/Zero.

Well then rejoice, unlike those shows Fate/Zero is actually good!

100% agreed.
Yep.
So awesome. The music, especially in the final episodes, was great too. Now I just need to watch the HeartCatch movie.
