"The time and effort that Urobuchi puts into the majority of the characters. Motivations are explored and contrasted, relationships grow and are expanded upon and all this gives the superb action context and meaning." -T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews "The character developments and interactions in the series are enjoyable, especially watching the vastly varying natures of the relationships between Masters and Servants and the way they develop over the series, from the thoroughly disgusting degree to which Ryunosuke and Caster become utterly in sync to the troubled relationship that Lancer has with his Masters to the great, wholesome bond which forms between Waver and Rider." --Anime News Network
