How would you adapt the Saber route to fate / stay night in anime?

The story would have to be largely rewritten so that it isn't a bunch of boring, redundant, silly bullcrap with a few good character scenes

It'd only be redundant because it wouldn't work as a series intro anymore. The order was messed up

They already did it. The DEEN anime was like 80% Fate route with some extra stuff thrown in from other routes.

And I would do it the way they did it. Focus on the love story between Shirou and Saber and basically fade everything else to the background. You could probably do it in one cour of normal 20 minute episodes as long as you start from the assumption that you can't cover any of the other routes.

There's no need for more Fateshit,

TYPE-MOON gave the first route out for free for Android and iOS, you know? It’s kind of like they want to apologize to the Fate fans and at the same time give everyone watching the anime the opportunity to catch up. I mean, FZ-only people should be massively disappointed with Saber’s role in this route.

Nasu specifically told ufotable when they decided to adapt UBW “Hey guys, this isn’t Saber’s route, so I just want her to look cute and act like a motherly/guardian-like character”, so that was the reason why I accepted that she wouldn’t get any development. Any reactions or interactions with Shirou and Archer, where her wish and story is referenced and foreshadowed, in the novel, even if there were few, were cut out in the first half.

Then in the second half, they decided in the last three/four episodes to add original scenes to characterize her. It doesn’t feel right to me, it should have happened sooner. It’s kind of like with Ilya in UBW, where relevant character info about her is revealed in a flashback in the episode where she gets killed. Far too late (though I know Ilya will get her scenes in HF, so that didn’t bother me).

And… well, UBW isn’t really Rin’s route either, so that shouldn’t have been an issue. It’s only called the Rin route, because she is the love interest, developing Saber earlier wouldn’t have hurt. Heaven’s Feel is more about Rin than UBW. As the name suggests, UBW is a story about Archer (and of course Shirou).

But then how are we going to discover the various revelations that we only have in the Saber route?
