I've heard of this series. Is it any good? I'm getting the first ep right now.

Alright, I just started watching it.

Its awesome!

I'm on the 4th ep right now. Although, on some parts of the eps, I almost fell asleep...

Some people are complaining at the pace of the series even at this moment so you're not the only one.

Basically, since I fell in love with the characters (especially Rin and Saber), the pacing really doesn't bother me. I have a good feeling that all this build up will lead to a huge payoff. It worked for X TV.

It'd be nice where the anime followed the game to the point where the hero gets into the main babe's pants.... [ala Tsukihime, but I hate tragic endings...]

Saber and Emiya would have cool babies...

Or Tohsaka and Emiya, but that's if they don't kill each other first....

yah, Saber's really cool... she's inspired me to create a badass Crusader.

i have a question? anybody know what her sword's name will be? i think its Excalibur and i've seen some shots wherein she has 2 swords.... wonder why...

Episode 11 looked pretty good (I just scanned a raw briefly), and the preview for ep 12... even more ass stomping!

I dig this show so much I preordered the first DVD (R2) despite it's overly extravagant price tag and my nearly empty wallet.

I've never been motivated to import like this before, I hope it actually shows up.

Oh man!!!! Episode 11 not only looks good, IT KICKS HUGE AMOUNT OF ASS!!!! Seriously, this the best episode I've seen so far!

Shirou's physical and magical training seriously paid off. He was able to do a better Reinforce spell against Shinji, and he was able to endure Shinji's magical attacks. He totally wasted him! And Shinji was such a wuss!

And another awesome thing is he finally summoned Saber in order to battle of Rider who pretty much injured Shirou quite a bit. Rider certainly has her ellegance in her fighting style, but Saber was obviously stronger. Though Rider's Noble of Phantasm attack was surprisingly very gory; it involved stabbing herself on the neck in which her blood covered the entire area. Her ultimate attack certainly makes up for her weak physical attack strength.

And then finally, Shirou admits to Saber that's he's an idiot, and he's willing fight along side with her.

There is a Round 2 between Saber and Rider, and it looks like it'll be more dynamic than this one. The producers seriously set the bar high in this episode; I hope they don't waste it.

Also, Saber and Shirou and turning on the sap.

Yea, but those two are so cute together!

yah, they look good together.

but shirou wasted a magical symbol summoning saber... and about shirou's ability to create stuff, hmmm, it might make him be able to upgrade saber or something, add weps and such or modify her armor to be really strong. lol
