Fate/Zero

[Jasta85]

is it just me or are the fights between masters more fascinating than the fights between servants? Shesh, the masters almost seem like they could fight on par with servants themselves (compared to the masters in fate/stay night there's a HUGE difference in capability).

Spoiler :

Kirei is ridiculous, reminded me of anderson from hellsing, just ignores bullets while flinging blades and around breaking trees in half. What the heck happened to him in fate/stay night, he should have been able to rip Shiro apart in their last fight.

Yeah exactly. I actually thought about this this morning and came to conclusion that it's probably because masters from /stay night were teenagers. I also like how Zero is focused on more then one or two masters but that they let all masters have their screen time.
I really like how Kiritsugu played his fight with El-Molloi, talk about gamble.

true that

(He's an absolutely nightmare-inducing character, but is anyone with me when I say that his VA should win a friggin' award for his performance. Seriously!)

I'm not 100% sure if I got it right but Caster survived, right?... I'm really glad he did and I really wonder if his master is going to have some kind of role in fights between Masters/Servents


I somewhere read/heard that this was gonna have 13 eps only but that has got to be some kind of shitty gossip, right? I mean ep8 and no one dies yet.. I really hope it has 26 eps and hopefully another ova that would be similiar to Unlimited Blade Works... but that's probably not likely
Man do I love this stuff

Loving Rider in this series way more than Fate stay nights ;p Gotta love that don't care prideful yet simple have fun with everything you do attitude he always has, I think hes got the most personality of all the servants so far. Saber and Lancers fight was pretty awesome also, and the way Rider interupted and just blurted out his real name like he couldn't care less was hilarious ;p I've only gotten to eps 4 though, can't wait to see how they did beserker for this show :O

^Agreed.

And episode 9: I can smell the upcoming AMVs of Lancer already. xD

hmm, the first episode without a major action scene or cliffhanger, was still good but need to see some more action by...anyone, all of the fights have been cool so far.

btw, being a master in this war must be really frustrating, all the heroic spirits have really independent personalities and will take action based on their own goals/values (aside from assassin I guess). Sabre and Lancer want "honorable" fights which goes against their master's practical approach, caster and rider pretty much just do their own thing and drag their masters behind them, archer is a high and might dick as usual and berserker is...well berserk. assassin is the only one who does exactly as ordered heh

Fact: Mages 10 years ago were a lot more competent.

Fact: Mages 10 years ago were a lot more competent.

Alternate fact: All the competent mages get killed off in grail wars. F/SN was kind of scraping the bottom of the mage-barrel; no one decent was left after hundreds of years of this nonsense. Just look at the Matous.

Aw, the latest episode was so nice. :'3 (And thoroughly terrifying, thanks a bunch Caster and Caster's Master).
'Really nice to see Rin again!

I caught up today last episode was a little heavy on the talking, but it gave good insight onto Rider which was nice and it hints a little bit towards something big later on which made me a happy Chez. Now I eagerly wait as it will begin to pick up from here ( hopefully ) this last episode felt like filler, even though it shouldn't have in my opinion anyways.
