So, um, finally got around to watching the first episode, and... Wow.  This looks like it could be pretty darn cool.  I mean, even if you don't take into account how cool the novel was, it's still really, really good so far.

...Oh, and I'd forgotten how cute Waver was supposed to be.  This is something that I heartily approve of~

I do have to say, though, that the scene with
Spoiler:
the Worm Pit freaked the hell out of me.  Poor, poor Sakura... ;_;  God damn it, now I remember all over again why I despise Zouken. >.<

1. But the UBW movie was horrendously bad
2. I think it's more of a "novel", it's not really that light, but lol semantics

Anyway, I appreciated the long drawn-out nature of most of the episode; I mean, there really is a lot of stuff to go over before diving into this, in my opinion. It took me that long just to get the characters straight in my head...

It did feel like a huge build-up to a really awesome end of the episode, though. But keep in mind that the slow part was pretty much entirely the prologue in the first novel - I'd rather they do it this way than have them fuck it up like the UBW movie.


Yeah, I sorta agree. UBW was bad in terms of pacing/arrangement. For example during the final fight between archer and shirou with lancer saving rin... they should have showed kirei commanding lancer to kill himself, have kirei step toward rin with the knife, and then blood splatter + sound effect, flash back to archer and shiou, and then flash back to who got stabbed,

2nd episode. as expected it follows the original novel closely (about more? than half of Act 2), which essentially translates to nothing much happens. false start indeed.

the next episode is probably going to end on
Spoiler:
saber vs lancer

Well, so far, so good.  It's nice to see that the first episode wasn't a fluke.  I really like how it's taking its time with the story and not trying to rush everything.  The interactions between Waver and Iskander are hilarious (I always loved those two in the novel, so it's great to see that they've been given justice in the anime), and Caster's entry was pretty much exactly as I always pictured it
Spoiler:
Oh, that poor boy...

And I love the end credits.  It's really cool to see all the Servants in their native times, especially the bit at the end with
Spoiler:
Arthur and Mordred.
  Oh man, I really can't wait for episode 3~

I don't think Assassin is gone yet, I took a peek in my copy of Fate/zero.

Assassin was definitely the highlight of this episode, though. So fabulous!

Oh Assassin, I love you so much. It is such an unjust world that you cannot coexist with the other Assassin.

Spoiler:
I was briefly hoping that Iskander would actually be Phillip of Macedon, once it became clear he wasn't Herakles and my dreams were crushed ;_; But yes, he's going to be fun.

Also I kept wondering if Gilles de Rais was going to actually be Abdul Alhazred or (more disappointingly) Aleister Crowley. I laughed and laughed when he identified himself as Bluebeard. Never though of Bluebeard as an occult sort, but he did have the murder and pedophilia credit for the role. And he did hang out with a convicted witch!

Oh man, that was quite the episode.
Spoiler:
That scene with Caster was goddamn freaky, already looking forward to that guy getting beat up. And chibi-Ilya is adorabubble <3

Also, Kirei is even more of a bastard than I expected, going for betrayal right as the war starts? I'd have thought he'd at least *try* to keep up the facade for a bit, but nope. And yeah, I kinda doubt that's the last we've seen of Assassin. Nice to see True Assassin in animated action for once, too.

Caster shot to the top of my shitlist faster than Shinji in F/SN, and that's saying something. Wasn't in Fate/Zero when I read through, that's for sure.

Oh, and
Spoiler:
Caster really is Gilles de Rais, if they are still going by the light novel. He probably called himself Bluebeard because it's more recognizable in the modern era, seeing how he mentioned being called by different names over the years.

It is good to see my trust was founded. The pacing is much better, and the exposition nowhere near as stilted as episode 1.
