**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS**

This is the virtually overrated anime I have ever seen. If 1 is expecting a 1000 follow-upwardly to Fate Zero, one is gravely mistaken. Well move closer to the screen and permit senpai explain.

Story=3
The story consists of tossing a teenage male child into the Holy Grail war (an Armageddon between masters (gimmicky individuals who supposedly command their corresponding servants) and servants (summoned titans) for the sake of obtaining the Holy Grail). This should be a gruesome result with fights to the death, BUT . . . 'Fuck that,' Shirou brazenly proclaims. 'I am going to lead my harem life and ignore every peril.' As one may have guessed, this anime isn't really about the state of war. It's about the harem Shirou obliviously leads. Most of the anime is focused on the relational struggles of the protagonist and some high schoolhouse girl. For 8 episodes, we are forced to endure Shirou's petty conversations with Rin inside his dwelling house or at school. Not much is done to contribute to the Holy Grail War every bit evidently—going on a appointment is more important.

Progress in this anime is almost non-real. The characters are not-progressive equally they are constantly engaged in purposeless chatter and droning. The story is littered with pseudo-drama, pseudo-fights, and cliff hangers, which are sometimes intriguing, that evokes utter disappointment and results in pointlessness. The fights are merely random clashes with no deciding outcomes and little build-upwards. Oh, a few episodes later on a retainer dies. Due to the complete absence of characterisation, no one cared.

There are multiple flaws in the anime. One existence Saber commenting on Berserker'south ability to simultaneously solo all the servants. She then proceeds to 1v1 him as though they are of equal calibre. Then she moves to 'comprehend' (backside a little gravestone) and wrecks berserker. The most flagrant i is Shirou's plot armour that countlessly saves him.

Trivium; for some reason, this anime was revered as a piece of life when it was airing. Upon inspection, these 'piece of life' moments were just fan service.

Character=iii
Most of the characters were scarcely adult and characterised. Literally nix is known almost them asides from their superficial identities. The characters that received nigh of it were abjectly cliche and mundane.

Shirou=1
Shirou is the naivest and most idealistic cherry boy I have ever seen. His special ability is being impervious to annihilation macabre.

Shirou logic: I have well-nigh been killed multiple times . . . Oh well, they must have their reasons. I forgive them.

These types of characters, the type that starts off naive and idealistic generally mature or at least develop but not Shirou. Despite all his well-nigh-death situations, he remains ignorant. What'south annoying is Shirou'southward lack of business organization for the state of war throughout the show as he seems to be preoccupied with maintaining his loftier school life. I just tin't assistance only mirror his disinterest, while viewing this show.

Shirou can be described in three words, 'hare-brained and mundane'. He is then often brushed by the verge of death but lives or is kept live because he is 'interesting'; however, that's just his naivety and incredible plot armour rather than annihilation interesting. He is also indecisive and mostly follows the instructions of others. Whenever he decides for himself, the issue is boring, beingness completely anticipated, and/or completely irrational. Their electric current route with Shirou seems to exist:

ane. Protagonist has no experience and is completely rash.
2. Magically becomes shrewd and tin pull off incredible moves in the most critical of situations.
3. Will soon surpass Rin despite being completely incompetent and useless.

Rin=2
Rin is one capricious vixen. Her daily routine involves whining to and about Shirou and so having the biggest mood swings.

Rin: I am going to kill Shirou; Wait, fourth dimension to squad upwardly again.

Repeat this throughout the bear witness, and it becomes annoying.

Her grapheme clashes with her backstory and motives. Her babyhood was riddled with traumatic events, such as her parent's premature deaths and the early separation from her dear sister. She's also lived independently for almost her life endeavouring to further herself equally a mage. She explains an inherent character of a mage is being able to further one's goals despite the means. One would expect a more mature, traumatised, or troubled grapheme, right? No, she'south infantile, elementary, and sometimes unduly cordial. Putting information technology in anime terms, 'I AM TSUNDERE INCARNATE!'

Archer=seven
He is one of the better character in the prove but he lacks sufficient characterisation, evolution, and screen-fourth dimension. He also seems to be the only one taking the state of war seriously on squad Shirou.

For anyone who has seen Fate Zero, RIP Saber's character. There is almost a complete loss of her original character.

Enjoyment=iii
The anime was initially somewhat enjoyable (6/x), but it just frivolously dragged on. As mentioned in a higher place, the fights were and the plot was largely meaningless. The anime fails to build the necessary tension and suspense to lead an engaging plot. The outcomes were predictable or completely irrational, and the story was somehow unreasonably slow paced.

Overall=3
Unless i fanatically love shounens, avoid this bear witness at all price. It is a blender of cliches.

If there's one word that whatever anime fan can exist familiar with, information technology may be 'Fate'. The franchise adapted from the highly pop Type-Moon visual novel has been effectually for a decade. In 2006, an anime adaptation by studio DEEN was released in an attempt to adapt the visual novel. And while information technology included the characters from the serial, there were controversy regarding the actual adaptation. And then, there was the movie titled 'Fate Stay Nighttime: Unlimited Blade Works' pic that was released four years later on. But yet, that simply ran less than 2 full hours in a futile effort to adapt the Unlimited Bract Works route. To say the to the lowest degree, it'southward inefficient when attempting to arts and crafts a story in such a brusk time frame. Luckily, Ufotable decided to step up to the plate deliver what fans want – a faithful adaptation of the route in Television set series medium.

Make no error. This serial runs a lot longer than 2 hours with the finale extended to fit the double the fourth dimension of a single episode. So in a manner, this series tin exist viewed indirectly equally having more than 12 episodes in total time length. (full of 16 episodes really if including episode 0) What's more than though is how the series is gear up. Because of the nature of MAL's database, this review will not encompass the episode 0 that introduces the story from Rin's bespeak of view. Rather, nosotros are introduced to the boyfriend known as Shirou Emiya. For people wondering most the serial, it is non essential at all to scout Fate/Zero or the F/SN: Unlimited Blade Works movie. In fact, I would highly recommend skipping the latter and focus on this adaptation as that's more of a promotional product. This TV series adapts the route known every bit 'Unlimited Bract Works' with high level of anticipation.

At that place's little dubiety the show has a variety of ideas whether it'd be related to magecraft, the Holy Grail, or the mechanics of the Holy Grail State of war. Taking these ideas and presenting them tin be quite a claiming but I do have confidence to say that this adaption did justice. The offset episode introduces Shirou Emiya who we meet a normal teenager attention high school with his friends. There's foreshadowing and hints thrown in the backgrounds already to show that non all is going normal effectually Shirou'southward neighborhood. It doesn't take long for the show to hit the supernatural realm when we run across magic and otherworldly powers in Fate way. Shirou becomes the Master of a powerful Servant known as 'Saber' in a dangerous tournament (Holy Grails War) afterward nearly getting himself killed past another servant. Boxing ensures and the series manages to craft a setup that will unanimously create more than anticipation. The way the start few episodes are set doesn't just create a thrilling mood just as well spawn questions especially for new viewers. This is where the show shines as the adaption adequately explains the mechanics. Although some $.25 tin feel like typical info dumping, there are comedic points thrown in to ease the bits of unsettling boredom. Merely do note that it's adequately important to listen to the explanations because it all connects to the characters and story.

The way the story is crafted involves the primary cast, or specifically the Masters and the Servants. We already know who Shirou is merely at that place'due south also another prominent Master that is introduced from episode 0. Her proper name is Rin Tosaka, the principal of Archer. For those who have seen episode 0, information technology's likely that you've got to know her a lot more than than the previous Fate franchise. Yet, she comes into disharmonize with Shirou and the other Masters in the Holy War. The servants play prominent roles likewise specially involving the infamous Saber. She is more of the poster girl as well as the warrior who wishes to win the Grail War. On the other paw, Shirou represents the most human being graphic symbol in the series. Honest, loyal, and courageous are a few words to depict him. And although he may seem like a generic character, there's no dubiety that he tin can influence others. What this first half of the series does is introduce the principal players that the VN fans will be familiar with. For new fans of the serial, they volition exist delighted to find out just how much the accommodation extends beyond the movie. Characters such as Illya, Kirie, Shinji, Issei, Taiga, and Sakura are all introduced in clever ways. Fifty-fifty more then, we have the servants who brand their debuts also. Lancer for 1 makes quite an entrance to create the intensity of the war. What we too accept are also other servants that contrasts with each other in terms of their personalities. Whether it'd be Archer's ideals, Saber'due south knightly, or Rider'due south cunning nature, every retainer offers something new to the table. Or sometimes, y'all may just have a big grunt like Berserker who wants to rip everything to pieces.

Like I mentioned before, the series offers variety. What that means is a residuum of mood and pacing for the series to work. Yes, at that place's mystery going on in the background with the events of the testify. Yeah, in that location is too action to go along up the momentum. Then, at that place'southward besides the slice of life-like atmosphere. Taking place in a high schoolhouse setting, the series besides finds time to lend comedy and even realism to what could have been an all-effectually activity picture show. While this may come every bit a mixed bag, the series does it cleverly to build narrative with the characters. Rather than just talking, they show what the principal characters' lives are like with others. Even more so, this series makes information technology quite interesting considering that Servants and Masters aren't exactly like with ideologies. Shirou is a prominent case unlike some others who wishes to win the Holy Grail state of war with their personal night desires. What goes around comes around and this show proves a point when it crafts its story's relationships between characters. There's chemical science between certain characters that can easily been such as with Shirou and Saber or him and Rin. Unfortunately, non all of them get their spotlight and some are nonetheless shrouded in mystery (example: the mysterious blonde immature man shown several times in the series). And mystery, that may be an overused word by some indicate. We don't find out too much almost some characters' intentions such as priest Kirie Kotomine. But do we desire to? For some, that's a certainly and is why the evidence will go along the audience at their feet. It makes the audience want to figure out the puzzle with the pieces. The dialogues are ambiguous but provides hints while dreams (such as Rin'southward) create suspense. And then, there's too the more charming moments as some tense scenarios focuses on Shirou's ain personal perspective. There's no dubiousness that he is becoming closer to Saber and the bear witness portrays this with tiny packages of hints rather than explicit fatal allure. Still, don't expect much romance for the first cour of this show. Care for it more equally a setup with all the cardinal characters bought into the series like players to a game. Because honestly, this Holy State of war is where winner takes all.

Cheers Ufotable. I'll say this twice because the studio really deserved the gratitude for their superior effort in adapting the animation quality of this series. The blitheness style of this series looks lavishly done whether it's the backgrounds, graphic symbol designs, or the jaw-breaking action scenes. In that location is a expert corporeality of action focused on all the fights that gives both the servant and their master a chance for spotlight. The action itself is well coordinated with rapid motion and clever camera angles. In curt, Ufotable outdone themselves with the upkeep they have. And to exist honest, there'due south lilliputian criticism to say when information technology comes to the creative borderland of this adaptation. Mage spells are too cleverly demonstrated while violence create the brutal reality of the Grail War. In that location'due south minimal fan service except some suggestive camera angles. But judging exclusively, this series is almost flawless on the artwork.

Soundtrack as well plays a pivotal role although not as strong as the artwork section. The ii most prominent aspects are the OST during the fight scenes and the character voice mannerisms. I give praise to Kirie Kotomine, Rin, and Caster for their grapheme portrayals. Information technology is very existent to their personalities and to the indicate. Shirou even gets some praise at times when he makes his attempt to what he has to say. Unfortunately, there's also some bits that can be irritating at times; namely Sakura and her repetitive dialogues or Shinji's narcissism. The OST is also a great comeback and treat for fans who are in favor of action. Every action sells with even tiny details being incorporated with the battles. This can be hands seen such as Saber existence tossed into objects, Shirou being tortured by Rider, or Rin jumping several stories to avoid Lancer's blows. While not every bit fantastic as the visual realm, soundtrack is by no ways a pushover.

True to its hype, Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works is a must-see of the yr whether you're a fan of the visual novel or coming into series as a newbie. At that place's much to conform merely the first one-half captures that very well with the setup. To say the least, this show has that sort of momentum every episode. It is set up so delivery with the series capitalizing on every opportunity. Along the way, we besides get breaks with useful info dumps, humorous gags, and human relationship building. The action will no doubt get out you in awe thanks to Ufotable's technical qualities. Nevertheless, there are some characters you may like and some y'all'll despise; more people volition probably have that decision by the 2nd cour of the prove. Label is not a masterpiece though and neither does the story offering perfection. There are parts in this serial that sometimes will waver off with its mood and peculiar balance. Still, there'southward a saying that third time's a charm and Ufotable hit the bull's eye on this prove. Now, the second half of the series awaits….

Okay, So before I review the 1st half of this season,
I like to state that I'm not actually familiar about this franchise that much to my noesis, and then this is literally my offset time watching this series from this point on along with episode 0 so keep that in mind.

I've heard most people talk nigh this show during its airing so I decided to give it a shot.

The bear witness starts off well plenty given us introduction to the master characters including the plot about the holy grail having the power to grant whatsoever 1 wish to the chief along with their retainer in defeating the other 7 masters and their ain servant.

In this 1st one-half of the show we follow our 4 main characters Rin, Archer, Shirou and Saber.
Nonetheless I found this to be a problem, The primary four characters
(well Mainly Rin and Shirou) I not maxim these ii characters are bad but their own delineation of their ain personality were kinda dull and very tedious for the virtually part.

They pretty much take this generic chemical science betwixt them that seems just like any other ordinary teenage couple set upwardly similar in whatever other anime show along the lines of a typical teen romance that has been washed So many times! which leaves me for the near part disinterested with their progression unfortunately,

Especially Shirou who seems to be quite a decent person at centre, willing to learn about magic involved in this series known as mana which is something a main must use in social club to command and support their beau servant in order to win the boxing or survive. With Shirou that is just it, at that place is NO real unique trait upon viewing his character with this (''I'k a expert guy'', I'yard a hero nonsense) To me it just came off as existence uninteresting and 1 dimensional for the rest of the time I was watching him on screen along with Rin also, since they both seem damaged from what happened in their past or something oh buuhoo. The process to this just seems as well familiar.

The supporting bandage as much equally I like their character designs, they as well don't really get thoroughly flushed out either which for me is a downer and its by far the weakest attribute of the 1st season I believe so far, Information technology could of shown some knowledge and groundwork most them rather than simply
leaning towards Rin X Shirou.

But and then you have both the other 2 main characters Archer and Saber that seem to concur a more depth to them and unlike the other 2, they at to the lowest degree bear witness SOME involvement to their personality and their character. but the pitiful thing is, information technology kinda feels overshadowed by Rin and Shirou at this point of the series which honestly didn't leave me with a good impression on the characters as a whole.

I commend the anime for having a fantastic high upkeep animation with great fight scenes that were pulled off amazingly in this And I tell you lot It looks stunning!!. The fights with the main and servants in this are just jaw-dropping and very detailed.

The music is pretty decent also for the most function, but can be quite forgettable to me at times. I also enjoyed the scenery a lot in this show displaying different locations that looked really beautiful from up shut and far away.

But as much every bit I dear the story, plot, blitheness and some of its soundtracks I found few of the main leads Rin and Shirou to be just tedious despite what was going on in the episodes I was watching even if there were signs of possible foreshadowing to the 2nd half of this anime it however could of used better characterisation.

The ending bewilderment to the second half looks interesting, almost like the series volition become a lot better since information technology mostly feels similar a fix up and I cannot wait so hopefully information technology will give me some meliorate enjoyment with the cast all round.

Overall The 1st one-half of this will be is a well deserve 7 out of 10

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)

In life, 1 thing is true for everyone: nosotros all have desires. Wanting to be wealthy beyond imagining, finding the dearest of ane'due south life, obtaining that dream job; there is always a goal, a wish that seems incommunicable to reach no matter how hard ane tries. Aspirations bring nigh both the best and the worst in people, due to the very nature of what they bring. And if these wishes practise happen to come to fruition, they affect not only the winner, but those closest, too. Fate/Stay Nighttime: Unlimited Blade Works Flavour One is the beginning of such a literal wish-fulfillment journey.

STORY

The story begins with Emiya, a high school boy who witnesses a strange fight in a nearby courtyard. Subsequently being cornered, he somehow summons Saber, a noble woman who calls him Master. Knowingly or not, Emiya officially joins the Holy Grail War.

UBW (the acronym of choice from here on out) sits in a precarious position. It's not technically a sequel and, simultaneously, it is the first one-half of a two part adventure. Every bit such, it takes the burden of introducing the characters and spearheading the globe-building for what is to come. On this end, the anime holds its ain. In gild for the audition to completely understand what is actually going on, it intersperses the battles it is known for with heavy dialogue and exposition. These moments craft the rules involved, the players of the game, the limitations, the terminology, the magic system, etc. A lot of it is more often than not shoved towards the viewers because at that place isn't much time and the anime wants to focus on other aspects (i.east. the fighting).

The anime has a strange habit of allowing many of its characters to alive through seemingly incommunicable situations. This type of beliefs is fine if it's done within reason (no huge deus ex machina or logical reasoning exists). Nevertheless, on numerous occasions, many cast members, and more than specifically Shirou, are permitted to fight some other day. Often times, the answer is frivolous: "this was fun, let's do information technology again," "you were entertaining, so get out," "I can't impale on merit, so walk." The idea is obviously not to eliminate the characters so early, since they play roles afterward down the line. Just without proper explanations backing their escape, the effect is lost, and information technology becomes an eye-roll every bit time and over again the battles involved amount to goose egg more than than pomp and flash.

Beyond the world-edifice, past the fighting, UBW's core ethics are, in a phrase, less than ideal. Once more, information technology's difficult: the anime is juggling multiple dissimilar facets at once, all inside what is the get-go one-half. Essentially, the show looks at the idea of whether it is possible to fight for pure justice, and what that ultimately entails. What is justice to ane person may be defined separately by some other. How much of it is considered enough in a given state of affairs? Who delivers the final sentence? These kinds of questions are, sadly, not looked at in-depth within UBW. Information technology begins to present the idea, having 2 upholders of such morals against one some other, but isn't explored plenty to warrant it a conversational topic. Because, per usual, the fighting takes the spotlight, preventing any class of thematic merit.

Blitheness

The art and blitheness within UBW is some of the best in the business organisation.

Starting with the art, the scenic backdrops and amount of detail found within them are usually breathtaking. Bustling cities, panoramic bridge shots, populated parks, and eerie cemeteries are merely a sampling of the cute art pieces that the anime dishes out.

The grapheme designs are distinct in their lack of facial detail. This seems foreign, because what the fine art itself has to offer. But this is done for a reason; it provides an accentuating difference between the characters' faces and the outfits they wear. Saber's blue regalia, Rin's ruby and black mage attire, Archer'south trench glaze, Emiya's scarf, and Illya's purple winter clothes appear simple in nature, but provide each character with an iconic wait that makes them memorable outside of the show.

The bodily animation does not falter. UBW contains, without a doubt, some of the best, virtually well-choreographed fight scenes in all of anime. And it should, considering how much attending information technology is given. The battles are incredibly detailed, with flight swords, dazzling effects, and a superb amount of variation between the duels. One can feel the immense power that the Servants have, and it is e'er a spectacle to spotter on-screen. Outside of the battles, the show maintains an above boilerplate amount of quality. Characters motion naturally and modest details similar the reflection of water, nuanced hair movements, and the 3D enemies bring about more of the animation that has made ufotable famous.

CHARACTERS

Every bit a shounen and "boxing royale," the bandage involved is large, with the more important among them garnering the about screen time. Reiterating myself, it is important to remember that this just the beginning of what UBW supposedly has to offer.

The most famous of Servants, Saber is a regal woman of nobility and honor. Fair in dazzler, potent of will, and unrivaled in combat, she is considered by many to exist the all-time subordinate whatsoever Chief could hold. Like the other Servants, her by and namesake are shrouded in mystery, but information technology'south unquestionable that her convictions take the form of exacting justice on the evil and bringing hope to the weak. Emiya is her Principal, and their personalities fall in line paw-in-hand. She trusts him and he trusts her, bringing about a duo that, no matter the circumstances, have a bond that cannot be severed.

Speaking of Emiya, he is a high school teenager who was saved by a man named Kiritsugu ten years prior to the events. Level-headed and kind, he seemingly cannot deny helping those in need, regardless of their moral status. His status as Master is considered odd. Having only the ability to strengthen objects, one of the lowest forms of magic, he tin can do footling also lean on Saber and her insane abilities. It's an interesting dynamic, because the one who wants to be the savior, the justice bringer, must outset be helped and supported himself. And non just by Saber, too. No, a lot of help is provided to him by a certain "tsundere."

Arguably the fan favorite of UBW, Rin is a high schoolhouse girl who descends from a family of magic wielders. Having lost her father and female parent, she has trained rigorously for the twenty-four hours the Holy Grail War would come about once more. Extremely playful yet hands embarrassed, she takes pride in non only her magic merely also in her ability to manipulate Emiya and so easily. Where Emiya wants nothing to do with the War but salvage others from it, Rin's reasons are more than apt: she's in it to win it. She may put upwardly a front, simply it's only because she tin can't carry to lose annihilation precious to her whatever longer.

Archer is Rin's Servant. Among the whole cast, he is the most interesting of them all. Seemingly devoid of emotion, he utilizes swords instead of arrows to inflict damage to his foes. His personality is mirrored with Rin's: calm, unapproachable, and chiding. While he follows his Master's orders, he freely speaks his mind. More often than not, he clashes with Emiya, who holds contrasting beliefs. Like a typical bowman, he usually sits on the sidelines, always watching and listening, until he is ready to "fire."

These characterizations have somewhat shown a small connection: the Principal's involved summon their initial Servant that best pertains to who they are as a person. Emiya has the kind and adamant Saber, whereas Rin has the standoffish and direct Archer. But what of the others? Berserker's Master is menacing and savage, Caster'southward goes well-nigh its business every bit she does, and Passenger's is as as deranged as she is. It'south as if each person'due south characteristics have manifested themselves in spirit form, with the ultimate victor proving just what blazon of man is deserving to win it all.

SOUND

The OP is good. It contains a good mix of guitar and violin, with a nice gear up of vocals. The falling pianoforte playing, tricky shell, and lyrics arrive great to listen to both in and out of the anime.

As for the ED, information technology starts off with an eerie vocal piece. What follows is very float-y instrument playing and singing that seems to invoke hope within the listener. After the halfway mark, the drums and beat out do the vocaliser little justice.

The soundtrack is a mixed bag. Information technology is filled with mysterious arrangements for the more "hidden" scenes and acoustic guitar playing for the more relaxed ones. Guitar pieces fill the more "absurd" moments, with the battles containing intense choir-like singing. As a final note, the sound effects provided are unique and add further to the overall feel.

Voice-acting wise, everyone involved gave boilerplate to to a higher place average performances. A special shout-out to Saber, voiced by Ayako Kawasumi, who continues to reprise her function as the top Servant, with the gracefulness and emotion needed during all the right moments.

ENJOYMENT

The reason you, I, or anyone else watches this anime is for the battles. The awesome, killer, amazingly detailed fights that exist at a regular interval from beginning to stop. I wanted there to be that next fight when the characters were sitting around talking. I wanted to encounter Saber's Noble Phantasm, watch Berserker trounce all matter before him, and view Pulley's incredible witchcraft. The fights are the highlight, and they were delivered tenfold.

During the downtime, the skirmishes gave way to talking and earth-building. While it was fun to see Rin and Emiya converse, or meet Saber acting as her refined all the same curious self, my inner conscious was proverb, "Let'due south get back to those fights, at present shall we?" Both aspects are done well on their own, just when you are comparing the ii inside their own show, you really want them to ignore everything else, even if it is technically of import.

For at present, Fate/Stay Dark: Unlimited Blade Works Flavor One contains an okay story, a starting set of characters, and insanely loftier production value. It'due south actually very reminiscent of Fate/Zero's get-go half. The popularity of the anime and the universe it depicts is immense, only this one is still far from a masterpiece. Hopefully the second half, like the prequel before it, tin pick up the remaining pieces.

SUMMARY

Story: Fine, nice world-building, also many conveniences, unrefined ethics

Animation: Great, stellar across the board

Characters: Good, Emiya and Rin brainstorm their journeying, with the Servants existence more than just spirits

Sound: Good, expert OP, okay ED, okay soundtrack, good VA piece of work

Enjoyment: Skillful, all about the battles

Concluding Score: 7/10
