I'm a filthy secondary and haven't actually read the novel. I did watch the FUCKING DEEN movie though.
That being said, there was no graveyard scene in the first 3. First one is Caster playing suggestively with Saber while Shiro wanders around confused and Rin and Archer confront Caster. Then Archer betrays Rin, that scene's pretty cool. Shiro saves Rin and then they leave and he confesses to her.
Second episode is them deciding to talk to Ilya, and all of Caster's back story where she's summoned by a mage I can't remember the name of who wants her to use a dragon NP. She says she can't and he goes to Kirie to get another one and then she kills him and is found by the teacher who became her master (I can't remember his name either fml). Ends with Gil and Shinji showing up at the castle and killing Ilya's two homunculous servants.
Third episode is Ilya backstory, lots of creepy scenes with her mom/grail talking to her. She talks to a bunch of dead homunculi (is that the graveyard scene you were talking about?). Then she makes her pact with Berserker and it jumps to present where he gets fucked up by Gil. Ends with her getting slashes and stabbed and crawling over to Herc and drying.
It looks like there's a decent amount of background information beyond what we get to see in the novel. That's kind of cool. It was one of the things that were lacking at times, especially when it comes to Caster.
Let's wait and see how it turns out. It may not be all faithful to the novel, but the extra scenes don't sound bad at all. Even if they're not as good as the ones in the vn, they'll probably be nice regardless.
Maid with spear jumps at Gil on roof, he blows her arm off. Cut away to Shiro and Rin in forest. Cut back, armless maid is dead on roof with tons of swords, otherwise one is on her knees in a giant pool of blood, swords out of her back. Gil walks up to her, she says something about protecting Ilya while she has breath, he says so be it and pulls out a sword. As he swings it cuts to Ilya realizing they're dead and then she and Berserker bust through the wall into the courtyard where Gil is.
FlamepriesT said: I think people are too worried about Rin trying to save Illya. I don't think that's going to be nearly as bad as anyone expects.
Doesn't need to be. People will still freak out over it.
That reminds me of something, my dear Hououin Kyouma...
If you ever travel into the future, don't ever step onto the S;G 0 forums unless you already have a vaccine against cancer by then. There may also be widespread use of a brand new drug that's become quite popular this year - I predict sodium chloride overdoses will be common place. Stay away from such a diabolical substance!

What this about a catastrophe in the S;G 0 sub-forum? Chaos and disease, you say? The Organization has made their move at last!

UBW looks more like desolate steppe rather than a hill.
Shirou projects and twirls Kanshou around. Crowd woos.
Rin plays hopscotch on rooftop. Crowd woos.
Saber stares up at sky looking hungry. Crowd woos.
Illya runs bird style. For some reason, crowd woos louder.
Crowd woos for subsequent character appearances until
Gilgamesh. Girls scream.
You know what the problem with a dragsterLancer is? They can't turn.
Lancer vs Caster on roadway, Gil versus Herk and Illya in the castle, Saber and Assassin in front of the gate. The first is alluded to as happening in ep 14's flashback, we see the second in ep 15.
Shirou and Archer stare each other down in UBW.
Ending. I like it better than Believe by quite a bit.
Still images of Archer's Creed and Saber once again on the hill. Shirou embraced by Kiritsugu in fire. Rin asleep while studying in her room. Shirou in UBW that's a grassed-over, broken-gears version of Archer's Unlimited Blade Steppe, as he turns to find Rin watching him.
Episode 13.
Shirou wanders around looking for Rin. People look at him strange.
Caster and Kuzuki have the "I asked you to stay at Ryuudouji" talk after Caster tears church apart looking for grail. She then slaps dat Saber ass.
Archer and Rin have conversation in a park after Rin sees more of Archer's past. With how they're emphasizing it, it doesn't look like the hole in the sky is meant to be Grail-made, but that it's a catch-all for Path to Root, cuz it's all Grand Order-y.
Archer and Rin confront Caster and Kuzuki. Shirou sneaks in on them. Rin throws jewels at Caster that are Caster-seeking. She negates them and Kuzuki moves in. Rin is all smug as Archer moves between them, then Archer pimp slaps Rin back. Rin tries shooting Kuzuki and Archer deflects. He then goes all betrayal mode. Kuzuki moves in to kill Rin, Shirou jumps down and attacks him, Kuzuki crushes bokutou, knocks Shirou over Rin, who then reaches out (as in the PV), makes Kanshou and Bakuya, gets Kuzuki to back off. Crowd goes nuts. Caster goes to finish them off with golems, Archer does his "lol well now I feel bad, let them go please" and they're gone.
Shirou and Rin have conversation outside. "You're the one that's most hurt by this, Tohsaka" or however it goes. Full on hnnnnnnng Rin cute cry. They go sit down. Have their "why did you return?" and "Oh yeah I have this gem to return to you" conversation. Shirou has his "I really do like you" spiel and Rin's tsun tsun reaction, followed by very dere lean forehead-on-his-back bit.
Episode 14.
Let us plan over dinner. Also, "I don't dislike you or anything. You cook well."
Medea Medea Medea. Master dude is blonde guy in trailer. Taunts her for not being able to summon a dragon. Has his own Greek Chorus to laugh at all his jokes at his command. Name-drops El-Melloi. Liquifies orphans to turn into gem magecraft power sources. Medea all shit son, that stuff's weak. "Well, fine, with the command spell I order you, don't use your NP on me." Then punch the witch. Then go and complain to the priest. "My Servant is useless, blah blah blah, imma find me a new one." Kotomine all "Lol Lancer go get him."
Guy returns home to find Caster has destroyed all his crap. Well fine, "My second command spell: kill yourself."
Medea: nope
"UHHHHH by my third spell KILL URSELF"
"lol you forget what my NP is."
"But I commanded you--"
"Not to use it on you?"
Mind fucks with him before setting him on fire. Then collapses due to anchor being gone. Then elevator opens and heeeeeere's (a really bored looking) Lancer!
Crawling through the forest, these wounds they just won't heal...oh hey there's a history teacher.
No they don't show them getting down in front of Buddha, just "Yes I believe you, whatever you want baby" in that same sexy monotone.
Meanwhile at Einzbern forest, Shirou gets shocked by a hot wire because Rin totally tells him to step on ahead and he's a loyal wan wan. "It's okay, I know what it was like by watching you." BOOM, Rin sent flying. "IOGHE(IR (IRH(@!H(#RHOASPDSAFLDKNFYOUFUCKINGLOLI"
Illya laughing while scrying on them. Sella scowling at her. Illya scowling back. Liz like "Now children..." Illya tells them to go capture them. "Because it is a maid's job to do this!" WAIT BUT INTRUDER oh it's only Shinji getting dropped from above by Gil into the King's Banquet garden, who catches him before he hits the ground face-first just as his nose scrapes the ground. He then sparkles at the maids as they come out. Liz tries to stab him, Shinji holds the pointy end of the halberd, Shinji confirmed to have Servant-tier STR. "I'll give you ten seconds to get out of here. Ten, nine, eightsevensixfiveforthreetwo--" Suddenly a Gil! "Mongrels I'll give you ten seconds to get out of here." "Fuck you, King of" "And for that Liz, you lose an arm. Then become effective pin cushion with your cushions. Sella tries to mimic impaled Archer. Off with her head!
Zerker and Illya show up. "Let us recreate a battle of legends!" or whatever the line was.
Episode 15.
Gil shoots. Zerker stands there and things ping off him (so apparently Saber really was hitting him with A STR or something). Gil pulls out God Force? (maybe? that was my initial thought anyway) and shoots it, Zerker defends, so he's all I get it, time to shank you with A-rank. Kills him. Shinji all "you loser!" Gil all "If you wanna live, you might step back." Zerker regens. Shinji runs. "Huh, never actually seen someone die and then come back, that's kinda cool." Zerker Step is now orchestral rather than electronic sounding.
Rin and Shirou get into the castle, where the fight moves as Zerker and Gil tear the place apart. Gil starts firing 360 degrees around to make his puppet dance. Zerker totally dancing queen and still the strongest.
Illya is still waiting for Kiritsugu. Iri-grail starts talking to her, "He abandoned us, he betrayed us, he'd even totally kill you, see, I'll show you what I saw in the grail back in Fate/Zero. "That can't be true...that's impossible!" Acht: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true." (actually he doesn't say anything and just stares at Illya apparently having a schizo moment). Illya bleeds as she works on being better grail and magician and stuff. Goes to see failed homunculi thrown in with Rei III onward. They have weird conversations with her while trying to interpret modern art takes on Archer skewered with swords.
Illya then is introduced to (rather than creating?) Sella and Liz. They then go in to connect a summoned Zerker to Illya (she wasn't connected to him already?) "You're just a tool, Zerker, got it?!?!?!?!" Gets thrown to the wolves. "Oh, I guess you're not just a tool since you came to rescue me from getting graphically bitten by these dogs. You are the strongest!"
Not when wrapped with the Chains of Heaven!
Rin: Shirou, whatever you do, DO NOT GO OUT THERE.
Shirou: Uh, okay?
Zerker dies for the last time. Gil goes and slashes Illya across the eyes with a sword, then stabs her.
Shirou: IM GOING OUT THERE
(Rin tackles him to stop him)
Illya: I can't see...it hurts...where are you Berserker? (finds him) Oh. You're still here. Good. It's all alright when you're here.
Gil: Now to administer Dr. Gilgamesh's best ca--
Berserker: RANDOM SPAWN OF THIRTEENTH LIFE MOTHERFUCKER
Gil: HOLY SHIT
(Gil still stabs him with more GoB stuff but not before Zerker gets about a centimeter away from wringing his neck)
Gil: Er...I'm glad the little one can't see that I totally freaked out there for a moment.
Shirou: (tearing free of a girl glomping him) I SAW IT YOU BASTARD--
(Gil shoots a sword at him and the balcony part Shirou was on collapses)
Gil: Now then. Where was I?
