Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) 2nd Season

The hype is back! Discuss! For those who have read the novel please don't throw spoilers from left to right (and if will do please take into consideration the use of spoilers).
The first season left us with the worst cliffhanger one could ever think of. I hope we have a one-hour first episode, but I think that's a little bit too much to ask for.
I will post my opinion later.

First season's topic by RinYoga here.

Offtopic; This is my first topic, apart from the one in 'The Welcome Lounge'. Everyone please be gentile *moe moe kyuns* ;__;

I might watch this. I watched the first 3-4 episodes of the first season , also many fanboys are saying that it gets good now. Might give it a shot. I have around 2 days to finish season 1 then hah.

Episode 1 or 13 depending where we are counting from:

Gomenasai Satoshi senpai Q___Q

I'm a massive Fate fan heck Saber is like my waifu (I have like every figure of her possibly.....maybe) I completely forgot this aired the other day I thought it was next week. Ufotable have done an amazing job with this adaptation and it is a lot better than the 2006 show. The animation in particular is just astounding.

^ Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cool down with the spoilers, man! You'd ruin series for people if they happen to see your post. :/

Anyway, UBW is back with all its amazingly animated glory. The Opening this time around is one I personally prefer over the first one and is better animated too, I feel. :p As for the episode itself, dem RinxShirou moments <3 That one scene (we all know which - hint: shiro saying something suddenly to rin) came out of the blue for me, though. Although rin's reaction to it made the episode for me, must say haha. As for archer - I knew it. Mostly because I've seen ubw original movie lel

ED was the normal regular kalafina. Her songs are getting REALLY old now. She needs to make something new. Something like magia - not just reuse the same kind of stuff over and over. :/ Anyway, looking forward to next week.

Unlimited Budget Works restarts yet again.

Can't really say much cuz spoilers lel.

Ok finally got round to it last night and man what a start, just shows how much I have missed a show like Fate Stay Night. The animation is just spectacular but I am not so keen on the new opening and ending tracks I prefer the first seasons.

I hear Caster gives Saber a magical rectal examination.

Epic anime you have here, guys.

omg it's back.

So the characters are kind of ruining this for me and I find them incredibly annoying. Shirou is not that much different from literally every other generic protagonist and Tousaka is just really annoying... how many times did she say "baka" in the first episode? Don't mean to be "that person" but it looked nice I guess lol

Episode 2 was really great especially the end scene

I think with Fate Stay Night the setting of in which is based around students in school sends the characters into typical cliches. I kind of agree and don't agree with what your saying but I think throughout the show they get a lot better and their development is natural. Rin is awesome and who cares if she says baka a lot :P Shirou is always the 'I want to save everyone' type of person and that is who he is. He will really come to shine at the end of this series as I know the ending as probably most others do to. Fate Zero does a better job with its characters because most of them are adults and I think it allows them to venture into other themes (Which I won't spoil in case you haven't watched it yet)

For those who haven't played the visual novel, this episode actually was most made of original content.

I needed that gif in my life. Thank you.

Most of the episode was original content. I didn't really like it this time.
Maybe because I finished UBW a few days ago, but I found the final scene quite boring and it didn't really had an effect on me.

So we did have that scene.
Harsh.

We still don't know who Lancer's Master is. Also Shirou is probably the only one at this point who doesn't know who Archer really is.

It was actually implied in episode 2, but it wasn't really confirmed from the anime-only point of view.
