I'm going to rant about something that bugs me:
Honestly, I don't think that many of the explanatory comments from the Light Novel readers are really helping. They're spoiling the episodes for the people who haven't read it. So apparently I'm not feeling exactly what I'm supposed to be feeling from a scene in regard to how it was ordered in the light novel? Well, what if the sequence was being ordered differently in the anime? What if the viewer was supposed to have doubts about Kiritsugu's loyalty until something was revealed in a later episode? If so, you can pat yourself on the back because you've just spoiled if for the first-time viewers. I really wish the novel readers would stop bringing their experience from the book into these anime discussions; 95% of the time it never ends well and they end up revealing major plot points under the idea that It Was His Sled. If I really wanted to know this stuff before seeing it in the anime, then I would take 5 seconds to Google it. |

Comparing what already was shown to the way it was presented in the novels is only permissible behind spoiler tags, and again, you must not in any way hint at future content.

I still think that's stupid though. I don't watch to click through multiple pages of all spoiler tagged discussion. Watch the episode, discuss the episode. If there's something that's unexplained in the episode, maybe it'll be explained later. If not and there are questions about it, its not hard to find the appropriate thread to ask it in.
About the episode: the part with all the assassins was pretty cool. I knew he wouldn't be out of it that easily. Alexander is also hilarious. He'll probably play a minor roll in the overall story, but he's a pretty great guy. "This Clinton guy..."

Boy am I lucky that all of those spoiler posts were fixed, lol.
Things are still pretty low key so I think that's why the music is the way it is. It was fantastic at the end of episode one and I have faith in Kajiura.

You've been there! You are lucky.
And the Masters who lose go to the church for protection as they are a neutral party (supposed to be at least, haha) who watch over the war. Some Masters may want to kill them to prevent them from interfering in the future.

A bit of a tangent, but since there are dissenters of the anime's rendition of the LN...
Because so many of us have read all or part of the LN before watching this, it's inevitable that we're going to compare the LN and the anime. However, as we all know with anything translated into another medium, some things work better than others. The anime already has to put in a ton of exposition just to set up the basics just so things make sense. And you forget...a lot of the depth of the characters are not done by action or dialogue, which unfortunately is the bulk of this medium. For instance, with the scene with Kiritsugu and Maiya, when Kiritsugu mentions Illya, that was something that could be visually displayed. A lot of other emotions can't or may come off as a bit hokey, but there will be more opportunities to display more depth in a different way. And in defense of the anime, it's not as if the LN is as condensed as it could be. This is more of me as a writer talking, and I'm more sensitive to this than other people, so it bothers me more. The author does go off onto exposition tangents that could be much more concise and be just as powerful. The LN is the original, but it's not perfect either. So this is what the anime creators have to work with, better or worse. It's the same with Fate/Stay Night. I hear so many people complain about the anime for various reasons. But among other things...look what they had to work with! To call even one route massive is an understatement. So, again, they did what they could with what they had, tried to tell a cohesive story with it, and if people feel dedicated enough, they can read the original. However for the sake of people who aren't familiar with Fate/Stay Night, I would recommend the anime because, one, by the time you finish reading even one route of the VN, Fate/Zero will probably be over, and two, you will be bored to tears if you think the Fate/Zero anime is moving slowly. I have faith in the Fate/Zero anime. They have done a wonderful job thus far, and I look forward to how they show their talents in the action scenes--the next one is sure to be full of it! |

In fact, even reading all 3 routes would be possible, especially since Zero's second season will air much later in 2012.

@mods: Is there any chance to change that annoying rule about anime/LN comparison within spoiler tags? What's its point... they are not anime spoilers to begin with I skipped 10-15 posts in fear that they were spoilers about the rest of novel, until I saw a mod posting his, and I am very interested in the LN-readers' opinion
@Forsaken_Infinity: Mate, if you rate this episode as painful (1), what would rate Naruto or Bleach original crap #566543 with... -100 |

So unfair, the judge of the war is helping a participant like that.
Kirei should not be allowed to be protected like that since he did not really had his servant killed. If all the participant go to live at the church then the war will be never ending isn't it. |

So I finally got to check out episode three. Loved it!
The chemistry between Irisviel and Saber is amazing, I enjoyed all of their interactions this episode, and it really built up Saber as the powerful character she was always meant to be (which DEEN did so terribly). Glad they introduced Lancer - really looking forward to how the fight goes down between them. I'm presuming it won't be a fight to the death despite what Lancer said - it's too soon for that. My biggest comment to have on this episode was Rider. I'm a big fan of GAR, so I loved Rider in the first couple of episodes, but this episode something felt a little off about him. It took me some thinking to realize what I didn't like about him, and I finally think I figured it out. EDIT- Nevermind! Otherwise, another great ep.

Not much action, mostly dialog heavy but I still enjoyed especially Saber's and Irisviel's. Seriously, this Saber makes me understand why so many people like her, even I start to have soft spot for her. And she looks aweasome in suit! I really hope that they won't ruin her like F/SN series did. I really lost all interest in her there.
Nice to see Lancer in the picture, loved the background music. A bit confused about the whole kiss scene though, were thay together in the past or something? I'm suprised by the number of assasins Kirie has! How is it even possible? Isn't there suppoused to be only one servant? It looks like whole army was summouned!

1) As larethian stated, comparisons with original source is not always welcome and can be a big deal for those who want to check it afterwards 2) In few occasions, such discussions can be extremely lengthy and detailed to the point it may derail/disrupt the flow of the episode discussion too much 3) De facto, spoilers cannot be posted in any episode thread. Ergo, spoiler tags that aren't deal by moderators mean that the said content is either 1) prior subs, 2) comparison, 3) picture. This is also the reason why we insist people to actually use a -label- for their spoiler tags.
