Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works LA Screening Impressions

Once we were seated, we waited until around 1:00pm for people to find their seats and purchase concessions. Joanna took the front stage and welcomed us to the screening and informed us that we were going to be amongst the first group of people to see the episode, in which fans reacted in loud cheers. She also asked everyone to raise the giveaways they received so that she would be able to take a picture which was posted on their website. Also since we were the first to see this episode, there was a special video message from the Fate/stay night Unlimited creative group in Japan. I won't go into details, but it was a short Q&A about how they felt working on the series to which they said that they were nervous since the Fate/stay series is huge and now they are faced with the task to come up with something bigger. One particular tidbit that stood out to me during the video was that they hinted at the possibility of a return appearance to Los Angeles sometime next year.

At the conclusion of the short message it was time for the premiere Prologue episode: 00, which ran for around forty minutes. While I won't list any spoilers, I was afraid that the new series would be just a basic retelling and Director's cut of the original Fate/stay night with elements from the Unlimited Blade Works movie mixed in. Thankfully, it wasn't. However, I will say is that it will be from Rin's perspective and that the timeline will take place during the 5th Holy Grail War. I know what you're saying "duh we got that from the title and poster," okay fair enough, but just remember that we are going to be seeing an expanded story that was in the series/movie and that means twists, surprises and awesome fight scenes that is based on the Unlimited Blade Works timeline; one of the three alternate storylines from Nasu's original visual novel. As such we get to see the relationship between Rin and Archer develop, along with a sort of behind the scenes stuff that we didn't see in the original Fate/stay night series nor the Unlimited Blade Works film. However, like Levar Burton says "Don't take it from me" wait until 10/4/14 (Saturday) and watch the streaming premiere on Crunchyroll and Hulu! then you will see what I mean.
