caster is pretty cool but so far he's been irrelevant which is disappointing. i mean 'i guess' he drew everyone to him.
i liked saber in F/SN. her character is very straightforward, but the way she interacted and grew with shirou was great and i really felt that their connection was genuine.
i think that part of the reason i wouldn't like it, without having seen F/SN, is that the foreknowledge gives anticipation. the stakes in F/SN were much more character-driven than F/Z, where it's just a bunch of dudes who suddenly appear and start fighting while walking away from explosions like badasses. also, it should under normal stances be f***ing illegal to begin an anime with 48 minutes of that bulls*** exposition. >_>
