I guess this show is for me like Avatar. I have also heard that if you ignore the visuals, you get a mediocre narrative, a way too long running time, and nothing but a mediocre show, even though I could not neglect the visuals. I take the fact that Unlimited Blade Works is not even close to Fate/Zero in terms of plot (depth of story) as it is. I will probably prefer the original Fate/stay night route (because of Saber), that is also a fact. However, I enjoyed this show because of the animation and the suitable atmosphere created by the fight scenes. Perhaps one day, when I get into the discerning viewer club, I will take these shortcomings into account, although I am more of an undemanding guy. Even now, I am certain that I have seen something extraordinary. I could not agree that the second half was not as great as the first in terms of the animation because even the final fight scenes were just a blast. Five stars. 9/10.
