Idk the action doesn't match up to FZ for me. Granted that could be attributed to how young half of the Masters were. Rin and Ilyasviel are the only competent ones and I was sad that they didn't have more battles. The action reached its low in #9 IMO, and the whole lecture by Archer and Saber's occasional quip was somewhat boring. So far, UBW hasn't achieved a good cogent balance of heroic spirit conflict both physically and ideologically that FZ had. Plus the character dynamics aren't as strong. I don't feel for Shirou the same way I felt for Waver in FZ (and they share several similarities, both being underestimated as a person and a mage, and having larger-than-life Servants). Assassin seems forgotten in the whole Caster saga. Archer's identity wasn't much a riddle for me, but maybe that's why I'm left not as impressed XD;

...now I feel like maybe my gripes are with how the story was written and not the actual anime itself XD I have to praise Ufotable though because the anime is 100x more enjoyable with God-tier animation ^3^. When I can smell the money peeling off the screen, I can sit through any show.
