Christ, you are blazing through this series. By the time I can reply you've already forged way ahead. x.X
I'll just say I wasn't a big fan of episode 14, since it felt kinda cliché and filler-y. Spoiler: show I'm also a bit confused by your list of "evil" things Caster has done. Spoiler: show

Re: Music & Eps 20-21
I would like to ask you now: Spoiler: show I won't comment on the animation in those eps, since I didn't notice anything particularly off (and I still hold that the "Banquet of Kings" episode in F/Z looked fine =3=). I will comment on the animation in 22: Spoiler: show

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014) achieves what it set out to do:
Having seen all of it now, would I recommend it to the fan who hasn't played the VN and wants this show to be a surrogate replacement? Yes, absolutely. 99% of the important plot and character details from the game can be found here. The occasional 1% that I may have griped about in one post or another, that's (I must bitterly concede) inconsequential next to the alternative of telling someone, "Either you sit through this awkward sex-book that'll take you 24 hours to read or else you don't ever read it at all." Forget that. UBW 2014 is more than good enough to stand in for the source material if it means getting people to get their toes wet in the Nasuverse's pool. It's not a bad adaptation. In fact, it's a good one. You know what I might compare it with? The Lord of the Rings movies. I couldn't stand the books. I adored the movies. If I had told someone this back before Return of the King came out, would they seriously ask me to read the book or else to abandon the series and never get closure? Hell no. Even if they personally thought the books great and the films not quite as good as the source material, any LotR fan with an ounce of sense would agree that the movies are a fine stand-in replacement for people who downright refuse to go with the source material. That's kind of my view here with UBW 2014. And to be honest, I think I'm even more lenient on it than the LotR junkie would be on my watching the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies in place of the books. Honestly, if you watched UBW 2014 and nothing else, you're pretty fine. You might miss out on a few things from the game, things I'd rather you not miss out on, but it's small potatoes all things considered. ... That stated, some of my very favorite things from the game are among the 1% that got cut or reduced here. And some of the most important or grand scenes in the game, they didn't feel quite as grand or epic in the 2014 anime adaptation. So if you did watch UBW 2014 and you did like what you saw, I would still encourage you to play through the visual novel if you'd like. Maybe give it a year or two in between when you watched the show and when you approach the VN. (Your mileage may vary.) But do approach the VN. And do play through both Fate and UBW before pressing on to Heaven's Feel. You won't regret it. (For further technical review, press on.) Spoiler: show Watching the series at my own leisure was fine. Looking back over the thread, it looks like I watched twenty-one episodes (05 thru 25) over the course of roughly two weeks (Nov 02 thru Nov 16). So that's a crude average of around one episode a day ... although the past two or three days have seen me watching a lot more than that, something closer to five or six episodes per day. See, I enjoy being able to watch however much or however little I like to, and when I like to. I don't like being beholden to broadcast schedules. And I don't like being fed narrative by an eyedropper. I think that for me, the way UBW is written and the way that UBW 2014 was produced, I would have been pretty naggy about the morsel-sized episodes that were served up some weeks. I honestly think the problem is less bad for a newcomer, because a newcomer finds excitement in everything. For visual novel players, the problem becomes that you're antsy to see how the studio adopts very particular scenes, some of them very near the end of the story. That can set you up for disappointment from the beginning. While I would like to watch Heaven's Feel all at my own pace, too, I'll admit that I am eager to discuss the films with fans both new and old, and so I'll probably watch the first film shortly after it comes out. And then be very, very irritated that it ends one-third of the way into the story. *sigh* Overall, I think I would give UBW 2014 a score of "8/10 - Very Good". While it isn't the masterpiece that Fate/Zero was, that mostly has to do with the story -- and that's to be chalked up to the respective source material, to both F/Z's (Urobuchi Gen's novels) and UBW's (Nasu's FSN visual novel). Sure, the studio made some mistakes too with this adaptation (e.g. the soundtrack), but by and large this is about as good an adaptation of the source material as Nasu could have asked for. The studio let him down a little but his source material lets him down far worse. It's okay though. It's a fun premise set in an interesting universe. And this has been why we've seen countless spin-offs, prequels, sequels, and parodies of Fate/stay night over the past ten years. Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi have got to be two of the richest otaku in all of Japan -- and they owe it to the fun and visual spectacle of this universe.
