Just so you all know. Saber is MY waifu. So what is she, 4298743589? You have way too many waifus to count Saber is in my TOP five since a very long time. Liam, Deal.

Note: This new anime will only cover one of the 3 routes of the VN. They're making a movie (or is it going to be multiple movies I have no idea) that'll cover the Heaven's Feel route too, which is awesome. Providing they stay faithful to HF, I imagine that route was probably too extreme for TV haha. Supposedly there was something released on smartphones that covered the Fate route too. Dunno if that was just a direct port of the VN or something else though. Yup. Can't wait for that movie too. I should finish HF route first... And the game for Androids and iOS is just some kind of MMO. Sadly, it's not going to be translated...

Just finished watching Episode 1. These are my impressions.
First, the battles are continuing to be as Epic and fast-paced as they should be. The number one issue with Deen's animation was that all of the battles didn't seem like Epic Heroes of Legend who are powers on the level of Gods battling it out, it just seemed like two dudes with unwieldy weapons flailing at each other.
Secondly, I noticed this in Episode 0 as well, but all of the characters seem to be much more three-dimensional then they did in Deen's animations which is also a definite plus.
Thirdly, I have one complaint. When Lancer used his Noble Phantasm Gáe Bolg, the animation showed Saber initially blocking it before time seemed to rewind with it then hitting successfully. That isn't a really accurate representation of Gáe Bolg's effect. Gáe Bolg is a lance that reverses cause and effect to make the sentence "The Lance hit and the heart was pierced." into "The heart was pierced so the lance must have hit." In other words, Gáe Bolg hits it's target even before the spear is fully thrust. In order to accurately represent that effect, Saber should have been wounded even before the Lance had pierced her. This is a ridiculously trifling issue and I know that well, but damn it, I've spent hours studying Type-Moon lore to the point where it pisses me off if something isn't shown properly.
Fourth, in the OP Saber is shown wearing a scarf. Am I the only one who thinks she looks freaking adorable in that scarf? I don't even know why I feel that way. But once I saw it I had to pause and go "DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" which is a first for me.

Yup. Can't wait for that movie too. I should finish HF route first... ...You haven't even finished the Heaven's Feel route? That's like, the one with 90% of the best fights! I may not be particularly fond of the romance in it, nor am I fond of the overall plot, but even still! If you haven't played through the Heaven's Feel route does that mean you haven't seen the True Ending for the Fate route either?! You can't even call yourself a fan if you have this much unseen you Heretic.

You can't even call yourself a fan if you have this much unseen you Heretic.I didn't finish for 3 reasons: - I was somewhat spoiled, I know +/- what happens (even the true Fate ending). I don't know all the details nor in what order things happen, I just know that you-know-who goes crazy, you-know-who embraces the dark side, you-know-who kills the dark-sider, and some bigass mistery about the Holy Grail is revealed; - Because I was +/- spoiled, my interest to even start HF was lower than other games/VN's/animes; - I want to install Realta Nua patch and read everything again to see the new things.

Just so you are aware, you can't consider your life a success unless you have seen the Nine Lives Blade Works scene of the Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel route.

Oh, let's not forget the opening, it's f*ckin awesome:
Btw, am I the only one who gets the impression that they are going for the good end instead of the true end? The opening gives me that impression.

Yeah, I really have to read that route before the movie comes. Maybe this Christmas vacation, if I get free time (damn you college exams).

The opening gives me that impression. That Scarf is seriously the most fantastic thing I have ever beheld. And the VN is seriously diminished by it's absence. Out of curiosity, what fight is everyone most looking forward to seeing from the Unlimited Blade Works TV anime? Mine would probably be GARcher VS Lancer in front of the Church with Gáe Bolg and Rho Aias making an appearance (And this time, Deen wouldn't be there to screw it up!).

2- Gil vs Shirou
3- Undecided, maybe Archer vs Lancer or Archer vs Caster Edit: that scarf though...
