rewatching this for the first time after a couple years because i've forgotten certain things and wow, this was even better than i remember. exposition-heavy episode already shows how intricately crafted the lore of fate is and i got actual chills during the summoning. excited for the rest of this despite having already seen it, that's how you know it's amazing.

This episode explains all of my questions from Fate/ Stay Nate 2006. I would talk about them but it will kinda spoil what happens to those who didn't watch it yet.

Episode overall was a yap session on the world building of the story, but it was needed.

We got some cool characters and I'm excited too see them in combat.

Not a big fan of the animation style tho, but I guess I will get used to it.

I forgot how good this first episode was! Rewatching this for the first time since like 2021, and really enjoyed it.

I actually ended up dropping this series later on with UBW, but I thought I'd give it another shot and rewatch the series up to where I made it.

Also, I guess for anyone who might read this, do you think this is a bad place to start with Fate? I decided to look it up the best place to start, and pretty much everyone said that the 2006 anime or UBW should be watched first, which just seems so backwards to me lmao

@Alkimia Yea man, this is a perfect place to start. Fate Zero is an incredible ride. It can be very brutal at times, like REALLY brutal. Kirei is one of my favorite ever characters, Kiritsugu is the perfect counter- I recommend watching the English version dub- although either actually is just fine.
I would recommend watching the 2006 anime AFTER this, it is nowhere near as brutal as this, but it's a nice watch. You have the lovely sexy Medusa Rider, and I actually prefer Saber in that version.

@SuperAdventure I was thinking about checking out the 2006 show after this since I haven't seen it yet and just went for UBW the first time around, but I'll keep that in mind! Looking forward to seeing Mesa Rider 👀

Oh my God, such a dense and complicated episode. It’s impossible to summarize or give my opinion in a comment—this is madness, truly. So many names, families, goals, etc., and I’m sure many details will become clearer in the future…

But to be honest, I watched the Fate Stay/Night that came before this one and didn’t understand anything, hahaha. I didn’t like it and I’ve forgotten it already. Now I’m watching the prequel to the story I already saw! Wow, how is my brain going to handle this…

Why am I even watching this series? Simply because of Honkai: Star Rail! Hahaha yes, I just want to play as Saber in the game and know her story. That’s it. I even watched the previous part for the same reason. I just want to say “Excalibur!” while playing as Saber. Am I excited about the series? Not really… I’ve started leaning more towards calm anime like romance and slice of life lately. The era of long shounen anime is over—it’s more exhausting than enjoyable. Have I grown old? I don’t know.

To be honest, I’m only excited for three characters in this show. Of course Saber, for the game. But the two characters I’ve wanted to see for a loooong time are Gilgamesh (oh how I love Gilgamesh, even though I’ve never really watched him before and his appearance was brief in Fate) and also Ishtar! Honestly, I don’t even know the difference between her and Rin, but we’ll find out (I’ve wanted to watch this anime for a long time just to find out who Ishtar really is).

The scene of sakura on that bug room was really grotesque and the entire talk of matou families magic crest being put inside the body via those gross bug once again remind me that I'm watching a series made by uro-butcher sensei thanks to these type of dark theme( ´_ゝ`)

and judging by how so many male characters literally have void or lifeless eyes on them and getting ready for a magical battle royal, you just know its gonna get worse in great way lol( ´Д`)

The entire servant summoning sequence was a pure cinematic experience, the fact this anime was aired more than over a decade ago with this insane clear animation quality is just genuinely incredible. The background soundtrack was also superb( ゚ヮ゚)

The opening song by Lisa in the end was also great. Fate + Lisa + Ufotable + yuki kajiura ost is such a deadly combo, no wonder this franchise is colossal in japanese anime media(^_^)

Im starting this after watching all of stay night. This first episode was exciting. I’ve gotten sick of always watching the same characters so this was a fresh start.

I'm rewatching this for the first time since completing the visual novel back in 2014 and my god it's like watching it for the first time all over again. I forgot how tragic Kariya Matou is.
