There is no crime without a motive. In this anime, it doesn't matter who or how someone committed a crime. It is not your usual detective anime, unless you're very well-versed in the Type Moon franchise, it is often impossible to pinpoint the culprit. However, that's where the fun is. Watching Waver solve mysteries and wondering why would the culprit do something like that is all part of the fun. Every episode feels short and I cannot wait for the next week's. Sound and Art is a solid 10 for me. I enjoy watching the OP and ED every episode, and that says a lot. Characteris also 10 so far - this is a minor spoiler, but every character has a role to play, even after their mystery has been solved. That's also what I like about the Fate series - character development for every character. The first half of the anime features original scenes not in the novels, while the second half features the Rail Zeppelin arc in Volumes 4 and 5.

Overall I think this is a successful anime as it has made me buy the novels in order to read the continuations.
