The concept for the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' anime originated from
Ufotable president Hikaru Kondo, who wanted to create a new anime adaptation based on the ''Fate/stay night'' visual novel. Although initially many staff members were in disagreement over how to properly adapt the novel due to its three routes, it was eventually decided that the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route would be adapted. In creating the series, Ufotable wanted to further explore the protagonist's conflicts with Archer while also providing new scenes not featured in the original visual novel. The music was composed by

, and NUMBER 201. The series was first announced in early 2014. Its 26 episodes were divided into two seasons that aired from October 4 to December 27, 2014, and April 4 to June 27, 2015, respectively. The series was released in DVD and Blu-ray in both Japanese and English speaking territories in 2015.
''Unlimited Blade Works'' was one of the most anticipated anime of the end of 2014, following from the general popularity of the ''Fate'' franchise and the success of Ufotable's previous adaptation of ''
Fate/Zero''. Upon release, it received highly positive reviews from critics, who directed particular praise towards the writing of Shirou and other characters as well as the visually striking animation. It was a major commercial success in Japan, having multiple top-selling home media releases and being the winner of multiple awards from the magazine ''

As the war continues, Shirou starts developing his own skills as a magus by imitating Archer's abilities, and Rin notes striking similarities between the two.

, and it was approved.
The original visual novel includes three routes: 'Fate', 'Unlimited Blade Works' and 'Heaven's Feel,' which start with similar premises but gradually become unique stories, and are distinguished by their focus on different main female characters - Saber, Rin and Sakura, respectively. The Ufotable production committee had differing opinions regarding the development of the new anime series. Some favored the idea of following the source material down to the last detail, while others, such as Hikaru Kondo and Takashi Takeuchi, wanted to re-adapt the 'Fate' route to emphasize Saber's character traits that were displayed in ''Fate/Zero''. However, this idea was not met with unanimous approval with the rest of the production committee. As a result, the idea was scrapped, with consensus that the 'Fate' route already animated by Studio Deen would serve as an introduction to the setting of the 'Fate' universe.
Producer Atsuhiro Iwakami proposed that an adaptation of the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' route would be a logical continuation to the events of ''
Fate/Zero.'' Iwakami was certain that the plot of this route would be better presented as a TV series rather than a full-length film.
Ufotable said that they wished to develop the series in a dark tone similar to ''Fate/Zero'' with Shirou Emiya's characterization also being altered from the original visual novel. As a result, Miura pointed out that in future work he would prefer to focus more on revealing the character of Shirou as a character through his personal traits, rather through women associated with him, in contrast to the visual novel. The CEO of Type-Moon believed that only Nasu himself was able to convey all the ideas he put into Shirou, and help them reflect on the screen correctly and deepen public perception of the hero.
Another character that Miura requested Kinoko Nasu to expand was Illya, who received development in the second half of the series when she learns of her father's past and is driven by angst as a result.
The characters were designed by Tomonori Sudo, who was handed materials and key animation to review in preparation for his work. Being a Type-Moon fan, he was conflicted on how best to depict each character's expression, but worked with the screen and animation directors in order to create the best possible product. Sudo stated that he was satisfied with the battle choreography and animation throughout the television series.

He was told to play Shirou in a "real" way. As a result, Papenbrook stated that he had to get himself into a "deep mindset" in order to play the role best.
Noriaki Sugiyama noted that he was tense before he started recording for ''Unlimited Blade Works'', since he had not been involved in the mainstream ''Fate'' series since 2010. Sugiyama expressed concern that voicing Shirou in comedic spinoffs like ''
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya'' and ''Carnival Phantasm'' would affect his performance for ''Unlimited Blade Works''.

Chris Beveridge of The Fandom Post enjoyed Shirou's characterization in the series, especially in regards to his contrasting ideals with Archer and Kiritsugu.
''Japanator'' found Shirou's decision to become a tragic warrior as uncommon in storytelling, showing depth in the character. They further stated that Archer's betrayal of Rin was an emotional plot twist, due to the duo's contract and bond in the previous episodes. Seb Reid praised the television series, stating that he felt it was superior to the 2006 Studio Deen adaptation due to Rin's and Archer's larger roles in the series.
