^This

So far, if you look at it seriously, Saber' role is just for the fights and moe-fanservices. Her character is blank, if you don't take FZ into account.

Archer, on the other hand, has all the important dialogues and characterizations.

Rooftop jump
a little misleading as the scenes were in altered order with rooftop scene later than it should have been

Correct and incorrect

Kotomine scenes implied to happen at the same time but we find out about it only after rooftop. But it happens at nearly the same time so its all ok.

Not sure if we watched the same thing. All Saber did was be a robot Servant protecting her Master.

The characters who got the most focus to their backgrounds and beliefs were Shirou, Rin and Archer.

People who watch anime and do nothing else are the dumbest shits who have no idea of what they speak.
Observing the show from the first two episodes, anyone should see that
Shiro - Protagonist, "Hero"
Rin - Deuteragonist, "Heroine"
Saber - Plot Device, "Brick"
Archer is supporting cast at first, then elevated to more important as the narrative draws into him being a foil for Shiro.

Everyone else is supporting cast.

While I like it the most out of any version, that's an opinion Fai, it can't be objective. Unless you're rating it on merits of production quality itself, which you did not specify.

Oh, so they didn't ended it with ''that''. It was still an interesting choice of moment to end the first season. It sure leave with an interesting change of pace at the last episode.

Rin is such da best girl. Goddamn lucky Shirou going on a date with her and not realizing the luck he have. Gotta love Saber getting between the two, that dense servant :D
She's such a tsundeRin, acting cocky and all, but when he compliment her, she get all flustered xD
It's always funny to see her tease Shirou, though it happen less in that route than in the Fate route. Poor Shirou, his hormones must have been on fire during all the day... We also got a bit of Rin shower fanservice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Batting Rin was also really great. Gotta love Saber one-handed batting. Oh, Saber...

I really loved that scene they added with Taiga visiting Kiritsugu grave. It was a very touching moment, when you saw Fate/zero and knows


It's a bit weird that they didn't choose to make the blackmailling scene into his house, like in the VN, but it changed it into a great action scene. Again, Ufotable action scenes are as top notch as ever. Also, that damn Rule Breaker... Such a cheated Noble Phantasm. On the outside, it kinda suck, but when you surprise your enemy with it, it does exactly the shitty situation that Shirou is now in. To add to that, she had a pretty solid hostage. How dare she touch Taiga?! Seeing Saber crying was heart-breaking. And the face Shirou was making, damn.

Shirou now realized that not only she has been saving his ass for a long time, but she has also been lying about her debt to him. After all, what's a stronger debt than the debt over somehow saving you from a fatal and normally irrecoverable wound?

I don't remember Assassin being that cocky. He was pretty arrogant, for having his master right in front of him and mocking her. At the same time, that's what makes him cool. Also, is it me or he is voiced by Kaiki VA? I should check on that...

Rin as now showed her cold and crual side, adding to Archer criticisms on his resolutions and ideals. We must admit that Shirou have a strong will to be able to ignore these criticisms.

Well, now I'm really hyped for the second season, though we'll have to wait THREE DAMN MONTHS!! Fuck this shit, I'm hibernating, see ya.

Edit : removed the big spoiler even if it was tag-spoiled (twice), I too sometime click spoiler even if I know that I'm gonna regret it. The spoiler I left is not really a spoiler, more just a little hint about Kiritsugu backstory, but nothing major.

That flashy kidnapping scene. I feel like they went a little overboard, ufotable showing off their animation, but oh well. At least there were plenty of delicious Rin pictures and THAT ENDING SONG. Even for a remix that was a nice bit of nostalgia.

Thankfully this cliffhanger was much nicer than that of Fate/Zero's first season, although I actually figured it would end at

Wow that's it? Well that was underwhelming. I liked Archer's entrance during the blackmailing scene and the animation was glorious. I still think Shirou could've saved Taiga without using his command seal but I guess he didn't see the chance when caster lost her grip on Taiga.

7/10

Not enough Kirei and I dearly hope the second cour is better.

You are right, Saber fucked up by disregarding Fujimura's safety and attacking caster. IF Saber was smart she would havrushed Fujimura and cut the threads. She chose to go after Caster herself instead



Caster already shown ability to escape(and no one knew whether it was real caster or a clone like when ARcher rushed her in temple)

Also it was clearly shown that the threads still bind fujimura so caster could kill her any moment.
The only way to prevent Caster from offing fujimura was to stop Saber's stupidity.

Even if they do think that, it's kind of honestly dumb to think Shirou would even risk putting her in more danger than she's in.

Taiga is still in Caster's territory. Caster has many different ways of killing her, just because threads loosened or whatever doesn't mean she's safe.

If she went for Taiga, she'd be too late - Caster would've already cut her neck off.....

Again, it was Caster's plan for Saber to go to her. #PlotConvenience.

Remember that she prioritizes Shirou over everyone else ~.~

No.
She didn't say she wouldn't kill to save. You should've realised that in Zero...


Literally strategy

Go for Taiga -> Taiga gets killed
Save Shirou -> Taiga gets killed

The same thing WOULD happen, is what she thought. She fell into Caster's trap.
