Please don't spend money on this.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I absolutely hated fate/zero because of the slow pace and tragic ending. there were very few likable characters in it. But this sequel Is just awesome!! beautiful visuals and an amazing soundtrack with a better story than Fate/Zero. The characterization of all the servants was awesome. Archer and Lancer. were badass. I liked Saber in this than in Fate /Zero. Caster was sly but awesome. berserker was also good.The Art, the Animation,Sound were beyond expectations. This anime has set a high-bar for other fighting anime. If you loved "Attack On Titan" and "Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood" then i suggest you check this out.."Trace On"

I watched Fate/Zero first and loved it, so naturally I was excited to watch this one too. I was incredibly disappointed.The story was slow-paced. The same one narrow theme is repeated so frequently that you are almost tempted to fast-forward through some of the dialogue because you already know what they are going to say. The other Masters are given only a small amount of back-story, so you don't forge any sort of emotional connection to them. Rin and Emiya (and their Servants) are the main focus of the show. This is unfortunate for several reasons.Emiya, is a dunce whose only worth/uniqueness is his unyielding stubbornness. In any realistic situation, he would have been eliminated in the first few episodes, but he seems to survive countless near- death experiences simply because he is a main character rather than any clever solutions or tricks (for example, he runs into multiple fights without the ability to actually fight, and another character saves him or the opponent decides it's "more fun" to wait to kill him). He apparently doesn't understand the simple concept that if he dies in a situation that he clearly cannot handle, he would be unable to save any more people. But his plot- armor is essentially infinite so... He also does not go through any character development. He is the same person in the beginning of the show as he is in the end, just with more fighting ability.I don't have much to say about Rin. I like her personality, but she doesn't get any character development either.The romance in this anime is also incredibly obvious and childish. There is no question or mystery to it. Just combine all the middle school clichés.Fortunately, Archer is interesting. But he is the only multidimensional character. The motives of all the other characters are incredibly obvious. There are absolutely no surprises in this anime except for one twist.

With this budget you can expect amazing visuals combined with good soundtrack which generates some incredible action scenes!!! And that's where it stops, I wish the action was non stop because I would honestly pay money to save myself from these characters. The characters are two dimensional at best, and the interactions are very boring and bland coupled with really flat dialog which is the 80% of the anime, which as a result leads to me trying not to fall asleep. You have a Holy Grail War setting with magic and warriors and you center it around boring kids? Archer might be just the only interesting character.Watch this for the incredible visuals and fight scenes, nothing more.

This is the best anime I have ever seen, not hyping. If you are here for the plot and especially the dialogue writing this is your show. I just watched season 2 episode 6 ans I cried, I never cry but this episode was so awesome, the depth is too much. I am a story, plot kind of guy and mostly fast forward the action scenes but I never once fast forwarded it because it is that good. Highly recommended I would say. I am not giving much about the plot because just watch it you are here for fan service then avoid this show. Watch fate zero before watching this, watch fate stay night and later watch this, there is a unlimited blade works movie avoid it, don't watch it because it is based on this show with lots of shortcuts.
