| This episode clearly showed us how good the graphic in an anime could be. If ufotable could pull a masterpiece like this one (even though they probably used more budget than other studios), there's no more excuses for the other bigger studios to make lousy animations for a supposed-to-be-good series. The graphical flow are especially smooth in this episode. Except for smaller drawings (which could not be avoided given how limited the given space is), everything else is drawn proportionally. And last, because the storyline to this anime is rather solid (cause its an adaptation to a completed story), I expect this series to maintain its quality to the end. Solid story + Awesome graphics + Likeable characters (Rider and Waver ftw!) = Pure Win..!!! Best series of the season, hands down. |

Shocked said: Ah yeah! Did it frame by frame for 75% of it. Came out with lots of stuff. Like Saber's EPIC face as follows,There was a lot of talking during the fight, but it's nice to have that fight analysis.  now that is EPIC and I don't believe any of you for the VN doing it better. Considering VN is highly not quality like to the animation as I mentioned earlier. For the following,  oh yes! Alexander the party pooper so to speak. I believe this a reference to Alexander always loving to interrupt a ceremony or important party to invade. It was known that Alexanders' favorite invasion is that which disrupts the enemies festivities at the time it happens. Well in this case it's his enemies fight. What will happen next who knows but I got the shivers for Saber's wound in the following spoiler Nilvius said: I know! I know! Amazing, really!Wasabi said: Sad, isn't it? 1 episode of ufotable's F/Z beats the entire FSN by DEEN.That's how you do it. Take notes, DEEN. belatkuro said: Except dear friend WTF at the large pictures. Thank you. Seriously BB codes for spoilers at least work. No not all works 100%BBcode should be fine by now. So yeah. |

Seriously, no. ufotable works in a totally different agenda than the rest of the studios. How many tv series did ufotable create this year? One, JUST one. It simply concentrates all of its resources in one single series. The others keep creating series throughout the year, maybe even twice series per season. And I doubt they will refrain from doing that just so they can make a really top quality series instead of making many series. Every studio works in a different way, and somehow, ufotable works in an "ideal" way. |
| I will be making a fool out of myself if I don't give this series a 10/10 after what I have seen in this episode! That entrance. Conqueror of Conquerors Alexander! |

| Oh why is Rider so damn cool? I must now go find out what the track was when he was saying his little speech on the bridge thing. That was too epic. |

| Watch downloaded quality on T.V. Words can't describe how epic it looks. |

| Rider is what you call a manly man. I give episode 9/10 because i feel like it was dragged out a lil. |

For all platforms and PC but I wonder if it will be worth it because PC CPU will always be better than any platform. Will it less in PS3 or Xbox360? Well Just a though. |
| next episode: berserker? |
| F/Z is a Light Novel. And you should read the Postface of Vol4 to know Urobuchi's take on what he feels about adaptations and recreation of a work. It's a good read and really reflects on the industry. |
 |
| The fight looked amazing! Now Alexander the Great's in the mix. Next episode should be great. |
| man..can't wait for episode 5.. LOL at Ragna92's signature..., :D |

| I have been loving this series since episode 1, even calling it the best anime of 2011 and after witnessing episode 4 I will have to give it a 10/10 so far. Ufotable you're doing an astonishing job, keep it going and this my end in my book as a masterpiece. |
| Last 10 seconds of the show completely outshinned the masterpiece this episode was. I could go on and on and one about how much I liked conversation between Lancer and Saber, but all that falls flat in comparison to Rider jumping into middle of it all and shouting his name xD I love that guy, I really do. |
Yumekichi11 said: WHAT? There was never VN of Fate Zero? Why that is an insult! Nope. Just a book. As in normal, non-visual novel series of text. as for epicness, I'd say certain fight scenes in FSN would match up to this. I frankly count as topping this stuff,while I'd say that Dougler said: The original Fate/Stay Night may have had pretty girls...... but this has unbridled amounts of pure badass. Not to mention a well executed story that anybody can really jump into! I am hoping you are talking about anime "adaptation" and not the VN. Ragna92 said: Nilvius said: Wasabi said: Sad, isn't it? 1 episode of ufotable's F/Z beats the entire FSN by DEEN.That's how you do it. Take notes, DEEN. At least now people will be able to see the true potential of the Fate franchise. Frankly this only made me rage even more that DEEN did not do ANY justice to ANY fight they animated, downplaying the awesomeness to be able to use cheap animation stills. PikachuXD said: Fate/Zero Rider >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fate/Stay Night Rider. You can't even compare how GAR Fate/Zero Rider is to that annoying bitch in Fate/Stay Night. I still love how Kiritsugu's still like "Magic must defeat magic my ass. I have sniper rifle 8-)" Shirou was such an annoying sexist prick that Kiritsugu just looks that much cooler. No. And no. |
 |
| I lol'd after hearing Saber say: |
belatkuro said: ^Seems like Lancer's Mystic Face is more powerful than it looks xD. LOL!!! Loved this episode to BITS. ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS ANIMATION. The fightining scene was just pure epic. Damn, Iskandaer is just the BEST!!! but saber and most definetaly lancer, are great!!! >_< bust seriously, can't wait for the next ep, bet ya caster is gonna get in it!!! XD |

qetou said: Actually, no... and yes except for the sexism part.Fai said: No. And no. Actually yes and yes. Sorry. |
Fai said: as for epicness, I'd say certain fight scenes in FSN would match up to this. I frankly count It's funny how almost all of this are from HF, but I agree with you. Fai said: it was basically high speed combat between those two through the entirety of Tohno estate This would have been awesome |
DrHouse said: qetou said: Actually, no... and yes except for the sexism part.Fai said: No. And no. Actually yes and yes. Sorry. ^this. When Kiritsugu pulls the shit Shirou did in Kiritsugu has badass attitude and all, but Shirou is a beast. Also. UBW. Also. Nine Bullet Revolver. Also... crane wings, flawless and firm, strength, that pierces the mountains, sword that split the water, fame, that reaches the imperial castle, two rivals, that cannot share the heavens Also HF-Rider says hi to your comments about her and blitzes you with her awesomeness. Araya said: Fai said: as for epicness, I'd say certain fight scenes in FSN would match up to this. I frankly count It's funny how almost all of this are from HF, but I agree with you. This would have been awesome Dratted magicians and their families. I meant the M guys :P And yes, Tohno Estate would be the awesome. Also it would increase the animation cost by like thousand times. Not that i'd complain. ALso yes. well UBW also had some most awesome shit possible like You just can't top some kickassery with emiya playing in background as shirou When I was playing the VN I imagined the latter to be But then DEEN adapted that shit and turned it all into the kittens. |

| Also any fight that contains Caster. She need more love! |
| damn, love this anime so much the battle scene is more intense than fate stay night |
 |
| I have to say that I'm more into this anime than I was into FSN. |
 |
| Phenomenal episode as usual, the direction, animation and general developments are out of this world. And this ending ! Alexander The Great (strange that they used his Persian name by the way) for the win ! :) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
Lauriet said: This. Pretty much this.Result: Ufotable is why we can have nice things. |
| So far, nothing this season holds a candle to Fate/Zero and I think this has some serious potential to to be one of the best anime i've seen in a while. Will it hold up? God I hope so. |

| Shirou IS a sexist prick, and Alexander IS a badass Rider, but uh. I will NOT have for any shit being said about my Fate/Stay Night Rider kthx. She is badass, and she is my favorite Rider forever. That said, ufotable has my heart for doing such an amazing adaptation. It's a right shame DEEN ever had its disgusting hands on this franchise. If only ufotable had done the whole thing... |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| Wow. That was an AWESOME episode of Bleach! |
| Awesomeness everywhere!!! Top notch animation quality!! So much for that, I knew Rider would do something funny and he didn't failed me and in fact, he did the unexpected. Hands down for rider!! So that explains why Irisviel said in the 1st ep that she's created for the war. She's a homuncolus herself. O_o Can't wait to see a 3 way match. =p |
StormViruz said: So that explains why Irisviel said in the 1st ep that she's created for the war. She's a homuncolus herself. O_o All of the Einzbern family are Homunculus. Try guessing Jubstacheit von Einzbern AKA Acht's real Age, and he's the 8th head of the Einzberns. |

| The fuck? Gorgeous episode, I must say. Thanks to that, I raised my score to 10. ufotable, F/Z, Lancer, Iskander, Saber—all fuckin' rock. |
 |
| That honor~ That battle~ THAT RIDER~ bahaha Epicness! |
 |
| I like how Iskander abruptly joins the battle and tells them his name :3 if only saber replies "I am also a king!" it would be lols. |
| nothing much happened in this ep. but lancer is damn hawt |
| Nope. |
| Awesome fight. Next episode is gonna be awesome. |

Every studio works in a different way, and somehow, ufotable works in an "ideal" way. I see your point. Yes, ufotable is more ideal compared to others. What I meant by "bigger studios" are studios with more resources than ufotable, not only in terms of money but also experience and reputation. Because they've been successful with many series before (compared to ufotable with such few renown anime) , bigger studios (such as Pierrot) tend to stick with their own standards (as that standard has been used over and over again and has made countless anime successful), but ufotable brought a whole new standard of animation to the public, which clearly contrasts other animes. No, it's not about how many series they made this year, really. It's about their standards and expectations. If quality of an animation doesn't pass their basic expectations and standards, they won't release it in the first place. Ufotable just happen to have higher standards when other bigger studios allows some minor mistakes in their animes. Let's take an example. Studio Bones allows an animation of such:  While in comparison, this is F/Z:  |

wishbook said: snip Style =/= animation quality. The way FMA:B was animated was stylistic choice, however FMA:B still had pretty much superior animation to most of series that year. :) |
|
| Honestly who cares how the animation quality is... The show is amazing either way. Plus that is kind of a crappy picture of Fate/Zero to use.... But to be fair its animation is amazing. |
