Or is my memory deceiving me and she didn't have a relic?

She didn't have a relic. She just had a jewel with a lot of mana stored inside it, and was hoping to have that give her Servant higher stats (as Zouken mentioned to Kariya in this episode, the Master's talent and personal stats will affect the Servant). |

Plus, there are important female characters (Iri being the most obvious), and they do get involved in the fighting. It's just that none of them are the official masters. The VN does a pretty bad job of portraying it, honestly. Only two of the masters are explicitly shown to have had a relic, and both of those are highly plot-important. |

It finally started! There was a lot of info in this episode about the holy grail war & the past related to it. Interesting who it only brought sadness and hate.
Rin was totally cute ( ・ω・) So the heroes were summoned & the war is about to begin! Great episode m(_ _)m

Why does it always feel like I'm coming out when I answer "yes" to this question, regardless of what series it's for?
What I was implying with my post was that FZ is already doing a better job of characterization than the FSN series did. Obviously there's more to the character than I somewhat facetiously said, but my memory suggests that those were Sakura's two primary character traits explored in the Studio Deen show. Which means either I'm nuts (always a possibility) or FZ is already building a more sympathetic cast. And I hope they keep it up. |

If I remember the novel correctly, they were sitting on a veranda sipping drinks in the Italian sun, which I think would've been much nicer to look at. Seems a shame that we had scenes in Italy, London, and wherever the Einzberns live, yet all we got were a couple establishing shots and the zoom-out on the castle.

I'm sure people have realized this by now, but Ilya is actually Shirou's older step sister: born 9 years before the start of 4th Grail War, and 10 year gap between that and 5th Grail War. Though Ilya seems to like to play the part of an imouto

Yes, she also grew fond of Shirou, but it's not like two masters working together (at least for a time) is necessarily unprofessional or bad strategy. Quote:

I just think it would have been nice to have at least one female master. Not for any reasons of "equality" but simply for the sake of variety in and of itself. That's all. It's certainly no big deal. This anime is still likely to be one of the best of the year. Clearly most people on this thread disagree with me on the gender point, and that's fine.

Any complains about Fate/Zero's "lack of variety" should be adressed to the author of the original novel.

I feel like it's really difficult to write a female character in anime without falling to the trap of an established archtype. Being a tsundere took away any credibility that Rin had, or, at least I took her a lot less seriously. Saber already took the dignified female character, so we don't exactly want a repeat of her. I would actually like someone similar to Aozaki Touko from kara no kyoukai-- I think she would make an excellent master. |

glad that the quality is totally different from the FSN series, more like Kara no Kyoukai's level
so Illya is actually Shiro's foster father's daughter...? the story about Kariya and Sakura is sad Saber appeared for only 5 seconds, i guess they are surprise she is the "king" i think this is a good start for a series

First episode is pretty dialogue-heavy, but strangely enough even without the lack of action I didn't feel bored at all even if it's actually 47 minutes of talking. I really laughed when they were circling Kirei, what, is ufotable practicing their animation skills in that scene?
Doesn't hate any of the masters yet and the ones I like are Kariya and Waver. I thought I would like Kiritsugu, but when I know he blow up a jetliner just because one target is on it, I dislike him immediately. Guess now I know he's going to do some things I would disagree with through out the series. Illya's very cute in the OP. |

It was a really good idea going for a double episode. From what I can remember from the light novel, the first three chapters were mostly talk. If they didn't do a double episode then we wouldn't have seen some proper development till perhaps fourth episode, making it a bit of a slow start.
