So I heard of this Type-Moon anime a few weeks ago and it's finally got my interest, can anyone who's watching it currently care to elaborate a little on the episodes out so far? I know it's set in a similar world to Shingetsutan Tsukihime and after enjoying that series I'm having some high hopes for Fate/Stay night too since I haven't been watching any really new anime currently out in Japan, the last was Shuffle!.

Hope that Madman can get the license to this series seeing how it's already been pre-licensed by Geneon.

Fate/Stay Night will be 24 episodes long, longer than Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

I've only watched up to 8 episodes, but I've been impressed. I can't really give you a comparison between Fate/Stay Night and Shingetsutan Tsukihime since I've only watched one episode of Shingetsutan Tsukihime. Still, Fate/Stay story has been pretty entertaining to watch. 7 Masters, each summon a Servant. 7 Masters with their Servant battle it out to gain access to Holy Grail, which would grant any desire the Master and his or her Servant wish. The Master and Servant each get a wish each.

The Servants were champions of the past, I believe real champions from the past in our world.

Interesting set characters, good OP in Disillusion and TYPE-MOON excellent plot. It's drama and action genre anime. I don't think it's exactly like Shingetsutan Tsukihime, but if you liked Shingetsutan Tsukihime, then you should watch this series. To my knowledge, all characters from the game are going to be in the anime, unlike Shingetsutan Tsukihime, which left out characters from the game.

Seen up to episode 6 now, so far Fate/Stay Night seems to jump straight into the action by eps 2 which is quite interesting. I also noticed that Kana Ueda who played Kohaku in Tsukihime is playing Tohsaka Rin here. Good to see that there's a familiar voice from Tsukihime in Fate/Stay Night though it's gonna be interesting to see Ueda be more aggressive with her voice since it was quite soft and usually cheery as Kohaku in Tsukihime.

The humor in here is definitely more laughable than it was in Tsukihime, specially the scene where Rin was chasing Shirou down the stairs. So far I'm happy with Fate/Stay Night, I hope it will still be as good as Tsukihime was.

I found it hilarious how Shirou got killed by episode 2 but of course what story would it be if he was killed off for good. Also is Issei gay? LOL cos he sure seems to be pretty attached to Shirou.

[Eva]

Lol, everyone loves the expression on Shirou's and Rin's face when they land from jumping down the stairs.

If Shirou wasn't a master, you could say he got killed twice already. Berserker owned him earlier, too. Shirou has a nasty habit of getting killed.

No, Issei is not gay. I believe he's a monk or priest. I'm not quite sure, but he's not gay. He just sense an evil aura coming from Rin. That's about all there is to that. Also, I wonder if you can figure out who's Issei's dad. Just bring it up since his dad plays an important role soon.

As for Servants, Saber, Archer, Berserker, Rider and Assassin have been introduced. Caster will be appear soon. More will appear in the future.

[darktruth]

I can't help but laugh everytime Fuji sensei yells and the battle between her and Saber was hilarious, and I think she may have some kind of eating habit with her obession with food.

I also get the feeling Sakura's gonna get an important role later in the series.

Well Issei's sexuality is cleared up lol, I thought he was gay when he tried to get Shirou away from Rin and later said something like "Am I too late?", boy did that give it a wrong meaning within that context XD.

[Eva]

Episode 9 is out already. Catch up.

Just finished watching episode 9, but I'll discuss that episode once you reach it, darktruth. Oh, I sent Lynk the full verison of the OP Disillusion, so if you want it, just get it from him.

Sakura? Lol, I think she'll have a major role. I warn you, be careful while browse the net. There's a lot of spoilers out there.

[darktruth]

I don't think I'll be able to catch up anytime soon cos my computer's stuffed and probably needs to be reformatted (I'm typing this at an internet cafe right now lol) but seen up to episode 8 and it's kinda annoying how Shirou is continuing to prevent Saber from fighting. The new servant is pretty interesting...I forgot his name but he's that samurai guy, the fighting stance is pretty cool too. I'm also finding it hilarious with Shirou dealing with Tohsaka's antics (staying at his place and dealing with Sakura).

[Eva]

Fate/Stay Night up to episode 11 at this point. I always prefer watching anime in bulk. Watching one episode at time kind makes you want watch the next episode badly and have to wait entire week for it. I have a couple of series that are doing that to me at this moment.

The samurai guy would be Assassin.

With little humour in the sense, it's nice to see they do it well and not over-kill it. Just wait until a couple of more episodes. You'll see a funny scene between Shirou and Saber.

[darktruth]

I'm starting to pick up on this series again, up to episode 11 now and it appears Shirou is finally about to get the chance to fight properly, I mean not that he hasn't tried before but those previous ones always ended up in him running away or getting knocked out lol.

Also that little girl who has Beserker as her servant (she has a german name of some sort) seems pretty interesting at the moment so I'll be curious to see her plot later in the series.

[Eva]

You'll also see Shirou become even more useful. Just a suggestion, but watch episode 14 all the way to the end. You'll understand once you watch it.

You call call that little girl Illya. She'll be involved in the coming episodes.

Also, the OP will be changing once you hit episode 15 to "Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni" by Sachi Tainaka, same person that did the previous OP, but man, this OP is not even close to as good as Disllusion, which is disappointing.

[darktruth]

HAHAHAHAHA, episode 11 was damn funny...and it wasn't even really a comedy episode either. I was laughing instead of being wowed by the fighting when Shirou was chasing Shinji who was running like a chicken XD.

[Eva]

You'll find out what happens to Shinji in a few episodes, but I think you probably already know what happens to him due to seeing Ilya and Berserker while Shirou climbed the building. I'll leave it at that.

Episode 11 was entertaining, but I think you're really enjoy episode 14. Now, that's an excellent episode.

Also, catch up, man, episode 16 been released.

Oh, if you don't know, a new OP begins during episode 15.

[darktruth]

Oh, if you don't know, a new OP begins during episode 15.

That's really gonna suck seeing how I'm just starting to really dig Disillusion, oh well I'll have to wait to hear what the new op will sound like.

[Eva]

Not sure you'll like it. I'm not too fond of it, but I do not dislike it completely. Though, if it even matters, Tainaka Sachi sings the new OP. Tainaka Sachi was sung the first OP Disillusion.

i watched ep 19 of F/SN this morning...i had no idea the series wasn't complete yet =( how long will i have to wait for more?! I have no patience =(

[darktruth]

You started watching Fate/Stay Night at episode 19? I think it'd help you a lot if you watched it right from the start unless you watched eps 1-18 in bulk a few days ago.

I heard it's gonna be around 24 episodes, not sure if that's really true though but if it is then the series would start to wind down in the next few eps.

[spinkle]

You started watching Fate/Stay Night at episode 19?

no, i started watching the series a couple days ago, and didn't realize until reaching episode 19 that the series was unfinished, so I've exhausted my supply of eps until the next is released.

[darktruth]

Finished watching episode 14 last night.

Now it's gonna be interesting to how Tohsaka will deal with the game with Archer gone

[spinkle]

Episode 24...wow. just...wow.

[Analog]

I would guess by this thread that this is going to be one of those shows that I'm going to have to break down and buy, eh? Or do you think there'd be any chance of it getting shown on US TV?

[darktruth]

Well it's been licensed by Geneon before it had even started airing in Japan so you will definitely be able to buy it in the US but I'd recommend renting it before you decide whether to buy it or not.

[Eva]

I finished the series up. I'll wait until you finish the series up before discuss the ending more in detail, darktruth.

All I'll say is we got to experience the other of Fate scenario, which we never will. I was hoping to see more of Rider, which the third scenario covered in detail.

[darktruth]

Just recently finished watching episode 15 and 16. I gotta say they were very good so far in keeping my interests for the series after stalling it since eps 14. The battle against Berserker is probably the best fight so far and the good thing was that it wasn't dragged out very long unlike other animes.

I really liked it how Saber and Shirou used a team effort in beating Berserker at the very last moment. It's also very obvious that Saber's beginning to feel jealous of Shirou being embraced by other girls after Illya is starting to live in his house. Also is there some kind of twist regarding Saber's legend? Because it's quite weird how she's King Arthur but is a female. I hope by the end of the series that will be explained.

Also now that I've heard the new opening theme for Fate, I have to admit it's very bad and is definitely under par compared to Disillusion. The thing that I see that makes the song sound horrible is the singing. The melody and beats are good but the fast singing completely ruins the song. Well I'm probably gonna have to skip it from now on when I watch the series. And it appears that Sakura is finally going to have a role in the anime at the end of eps 16 so I'm looking forward to continue the series.
