Shirou getting all blushy around Saber in episode one had me pause a bit before I remembered "Oh yeah, Saber is the primary love interest, isn't she?" DEEN Fate was a long time ago and with Rin being the heroine of UBW and Sakura being the heroine of Heaven's Feel it completely slipped my mind.

I thought I'd take a moment to copy over my comment from the Preview Guide, because I can.

As XerBlade above said, it's not really that much of a stretch. This setting is more or less taken straight out of "Hollow Ataraxia". Heck, a lot of the more lighthearted and comedic spin-offs seem to use it as a basis in general. Also, in case anyone didn't notice, cardboard cutout Assassin is back in the credits. I did not expect a joke from "Carnival Phantasm" of all things to make a return. Got a good chuckle out of me at least. |

Gotta say this is one of my favorite Fate adaptations.
I'm a sucker for slice-of-life cooking anime, which wonders more about what to eat for dinner tonight, than what to cook to please the judges (not that I can't enjoy Shokugeki no Souma). And I'm just glad to finally see such liveliness animated by Ufotable, with passerbys and all, as I see most of their works tend to neglect the crowds, and such that they got a certain empty feeling with only few main characters filling up a quiet wide spaces in town. Is it just me or Lancer's voice or way of talking sounds very different to his other more serious counterparts. And it's not only because it's a relaxed slice-of-life version of Lancer, he just sounded like much an older man to me. |

Judging by Shirou's level of cooking, you could even say food is a type of sword, uh?
I guess he's going for a more "aniki" feel instead of the hyper agressive Lancer of usual fares. It sounds pretty close to his voice when you unlock the higher bonds in FGO or when he praises you for completing missions in Extella. Like many said, this hits pretty close to Hollow Ataraxia and the Type Moon spin offs which tend to be on the more zany and light side of things. It's a good change of mood. Dumb and happy Type-Moon is fine too. It's nice to see things from other perspective. |

Best Fate timeline... Too bad they didn't do a commemorative FGO banner for this show... I'd kind of like this version of Shiro as a funny Caster summon or something... i wonder if Alter will show up in this.

Fate/Food Wars is seriously just one Avenger-Bazett-Caren combo short of being a Fate/hollow ataraxia anime at this point.

Have you seen carnival phantasm? If you have not then SEE IT NOW! That show is truly the pinnacle series of the fate universe, and they need to hurry up and make more episodes. That said, I am enjoying this series emensely. My god it's been like 12 years since I first was introduced to the series, and I still have not covered all of the light novels and visual novels in it. |

Hinamatsuri... that explains the Little Ladies festival going on at FF XIV at the moment. I didn't actually think that was based on anything in particular, but I guess I should've known better. ^^;;

By the way, it's basically an unspoken rule in the Emiya household that no one brings up Illya's true age, even though (perhaps because) everyone knows the circumstances (except for Fuji-Nee). |

While I understand that everyone has their personal opinions, I must disagree with this statement. Was she indifferent, cold? Nope. She hasn't blame, nor beat anyone. She was just shy and afraid to be ashamed, because unlike Shiro and Sakura she doesn't have that much experience in cooking. But still, she's too proud (in a good way) to ignore them and lying idly on a sofa. What I love the most in this episode - is heaven's feel reference. I bet everyone who read VN noticed that Sakura called Rin "Nee-san" in person, which only happend in HF route after a certain scene (which I love so much). |

I noticed that but never read the VN, it was really cute though.
Oh i want to see these things very much, although if a had to choose one seeing shinji die or get dunked on incessantly gets my vote. I'd love to see Kirei and Gilgamesh get involved in some mapu tofu nonsense and they ruin shirou's meal for saber. She gets angry, goes alter and they prostrate themselves until Shirou feeds her. Shirou and Archer cooking off shokugeki style would be awesome to see. Winner gets taiga and saber's seal of approval as well as the title of Ultimate Home Chef. *in fine print* It also comes with the responsibility to feed both of them for the rest of their lives. |

she also said that in hollow ataraxia's ending. and speaking of.......
not gonna happen. considering this is completely family friendly and have zero relation with its source material, the odds of shinji getting killed off let alone getting dunked on incessantly is highly unlikely. though the kirei x gill shipping (though it'll be very family friendly) shipping as well as seeing more of Cu's biceps is more than likely. especially if gill is involved in any comedic antics when it comes to saber's food! 
actually she acted the exact same way in fate/kaleid prisma illya as well so its probably a homage to that spinoff series. |

Fate/hollow ataraxia. Seriously, Neko and Reikan, along with Fuji-nee, are actually some of my favorite characters in the whole franchise. Naturally, I loved this episode. And by the way, Neko isn't Shirou's boss. She's the boss's daughter.
If it's half as much like Fate/hollow ataraxia as the rest of this series, it basically boils down to cooking lessons on Caster's end, while Souichirou just always says he'll eat anything she makes.
Completely untrue. Rin is at least on par with Shirou (who is more advanced than Sakura, Shirou's student) when it comes to cooking, and she completely defeats him in some areas. Areas which she uses to her advantage, since she's extremely competitive when it comes to cooking (as she is with everything else).
I mean, she does that in the entire rest of the franchise as well.... That really doesn't count as a Heaven's Feel reference when that is their norm in everything post-Fate/stay night anyway. Calling it a reference would be a stretch even without that. |

This must be the universe where Takeshi Kaga (original Iron Chef ) oversaw the 5th Holy Grail War.
