Yeah, really hoping it's like Date a Live or Red Data Girl and not like Ebiten or Seitokai no Ichizon. I don't mind having to avoid spoilers (despite having read the manga) for a few days or 2 weeks or whatever, but I don't want to have to wait an entire season. That killed all momentum and hype for Seitokai no Ichizon Lv2 for me.

Bleh. BLEH, I say! Pre-airs are ruining anime! You can do things that way, if you want to. It will work. You'll miss out on a lot of references, though. While this series has its own, entirely functional plot, it was created as a parody series, so it is built around a massive number of shout-outs and references to the rest of the Fate universe.

Not even sure where you're going with the whole "pretty pictures" thing. Well, considering this trailer alone already tossed in a Saber Lily cameo/reference, it's obvious there will be. |

That's not Saber Lily, but Magical Warrior Musashi. Illya's favorite magical girl in this manga. Illya is mahou shoujo otaku.
There will be more than just cameos. Last edited by Daniel E.; 2013-06-06 at 01:13. Reason: Do not link to that site here |

As for me, I won't watch them. I want to see these series the way they are meant to be seen. I want them to look the way they are meant to look. My first impression of them should be the first impression they are meant to give, not one that's been ruined because people don't know how to wait to watch them when they actually come out.

No, it just looks like her. Somewhat, anyway. This is a parody series, as I said, but it has it's own functional story. While the character in question was undoubtedly designed visually to make people think of Archerko, she came to exist in an entirely different fashion and has her own unique personality.
I don't know if the anime will even get to her. In a 1-cour series, it may be wiser for them to just stick to Prisma Illya, without getting into 2wei or 3rei.

That's probably what they'll do. There's enough space in most chapters that they can fluff fights, slice of life, etc. Zwei is 24 or so chapters, so there's no way they'd be able to do 36+ chapters in one cour. It basically has to end at the end of the first series.

And I thought they were going to get Shin Oonuma to direct this, what the hell Silver Link? |

Shin will direct. Just Takashi Sakamoto will be Chief Director and Shin will be under him. At Shin's direction this not change anything. Basically, we can expect a similar style direction like in Dusk Maiden of Amnesia where both had exactly the same position. |

I've been in the anime fandom long enough to have at least a vague idea of this universe. It looks like enough of a self-contained work that I can appreciate it on those merits. And maybe check out the other series later if I feel inclined. Plus, the point of view of someone going in largely blind could serve as a useful contrast.
