It's true that the ep wasn't as epic as some others were. But I liked it.
I liked the Caster/Ryunosuke development. Not my way of seeing things, but in their twisted mind, all falls in place.
Regarding Waver/Alexander, it was important to give some spine to Waver. He proved useful to find Caster's hideout and now we know he didn't get his servant out of sheer luck. He has the will to fight and even die, at least he thinks so.
And telling to the face of Alexander that having such a strong hero was spoiling his fun, was a nice touch.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
the ep was interesting and fun to watchIt's the final stretch up the cliff that pissed me off.
don't know what you are talking about
between male lead and female lead of anime XY (XY = 95% of all animes)Between Rider and Waver?
its more fun if the first season ends with a "OH MY GAWD, it's going to consume the whole town,rally up everyone for the big clash to come"
and not with a "baka, ecchi! hyaaaaa! *pillow in face*"

The transition of the meeting made a lot more sense with this uncut version. Without the added parts, the original run made Saber out to be too much on the touchy side, Gilgamesh being unusually silent and Iskandar being rather abrupt in ending the meeting without further words from Saber.
On the other hand, in the new version Gilgamesh was instead unusually friendly with Iskandar to an extent. The biggest message was clearing up that while Gilgamesh may be considered "wise", it seems only to apply to his pursuit of pleasure. He doesn't give a shit about serving his people or protecting them - and certainly doesn't side with Saber's ideals in any way.
This makes him less "deep" of a character, but it definitely makes him a more consistent one.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Gilgamesh does not serve his people, but he does care for them. He even explicitly stated that (only) his subjects and people are worthy of his compassion, so he understands and bears that responsibility.
I didn't think he sided with Saber's ideals in the first version. What I did think was that he liked how Saber struggled with fate, and encouraged her to continue that path.
Peace.
Lol... how can this be so good? It's insane.
Even with me knowing everything that Zouken did to Sakura from the moment he obtained her...I find it difficult to deny Tokiomi's logic. He may not have fully realized what treatment she went through (or certainly he comes off callous for not being caring about what methods Matou's magics entail), but he equally didn't want to condemn his younger daughter to a life of mediocrity or worse, the inherent danger for an untrained magus of Sakura's potential. Ironically, the latter is exactly the fate she suffered.
As much as I want to, I can't really condemn Tokiomi for what he did to Sakura.
Gilgamesh UFO...kinda lame.
I don't really care for the new OP (though I usually like kalafina), but the ED is really good.
Oh i can completely and absolutely condemn his logic. He sent his daughter away from his family to be tortured, even if he was unaware of the details of her training that just makes him that much more irresponsible.
That said, i do see where he's coming from with this.
Hello? Why no one update?!!?!? !!!!!
Fate Zero 14 by UTW.
Aye. Personally I see it as rude to forum etiquettes of sorts.Originally Posted by Idealistic

He likely doesn't know what methods Matou uses, but if it helps them become better mages, he sees no reason to care. It's like the mentality many Asian parents have when they raise their kids with all these cram schools and extracurricular music/arts lessons to "raise their worth"/"fulfil their potential", but taken to the extreme.
Tokiomi mentioned humanity, but he doesn't see "people".
Yeah.. from a believability standpoint, you have to wonder at how all their nations got wiped out and replaced with our lowly science..Originally Posted by ryll
I'm quite the opposite actually. Musically, I liked the OP more than the ED though neither of which are as grand and catchy as the ones from the previous episodes. The ED naturally tells more of a story, but both of them make me very sad about Iri's life and ultimate fate.Originally Posted by Ryll

I wonder if the talk about monster movies and the fact that one of the pilots name was Kobayashi is some kind of reference to Godzilla, though probably not.
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
Ahhh Fate/Zero I've missed you. Non-stop quality and action.
Worth the wait, good to see they kept the quality both visually and story wise
I wonder when Saber is going to show her skills, she is probably the weakest Servant alive atm.. it looks like it at least.
nothing compared to the hype she got from the stay-night series
Soon she will whip out her Excalibur like she said she did in Fate/Stay Night.
She got a master who is only used to shady assassinations, bombings, and other underhand deeds not really suited for a knight. Add to that the curse she's currently under, and her weakness is all explained. Rin in UBW was the best master for Saber: Full of mana, not avoiding fights, and seeking honourable ends and justice.
I have to say Gilgamesh's UFO vs Berserk's hijacked fighter was the weakest part of this episode. Whatever happened to the pilot anyway?
