Decay Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Saber x shirou shipping - is this what UFOtable was talking about when they said they would mix elements from other routes? It makes sense to me. They probably just want to take some elements from Fate to develop Saber's character more. In the VN's UBW, she's kind of disregarded a lot of the time. Quote
Flutterz Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Watching UBW feels like re-reading the VN because I get to catch all the foreshadowing that you miss if you haven't read it before. Quote
Jibril Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 All praise Kalafina for that ending song! UBW is definitely my top 5 anime of all time.... I take nothing! You need standards! B-but they always said my standards are too high... Quote
Freestyle80 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 well atleast that silver-haired girl in Ushina isnt some annoying Tsundere like i thought she'll be but this anime is still really confusing and wow another 1 hour fate episode,though i thought the main focus this time would be Rin? seems like Saber again ;s or hopefully its just this episode Quote
FinalChaos Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 UBW was awesome as expected. The feeling of nostalgia is strong..... I do miss all the thoughts that Shirou had in his mind as shown in the vn. They didn't explain how Gae Bolg works, and also the relevance of Shirou using his Command Spell was also not there. Gae Bolg's animation was much better than I had expected. I didn't feel that Shirou x Saber was too much, if anything that's good so that Saber's personality and importance is retained. Quote

Personally I'm glad I'm not in Shirou's head more often. It's one of the annoyances people had with Shirou when he started talking too much. I actually liked his character more when he had 2-3 lines in the first episode. About the Shirou x Saber, I'm getting that vibe because of how close they look in the previews. I think it's important to Saber's development continuing from Zero by them implementing elements of Fate in UBW. Her struggle with Kiritsugu's philosophy comes in full circle with the second generation encounter of an Emiya. And I like the idea of Kiritsugu rolling in his grave when he finds out King Arthur is doing the dirty with his son. Quote
Jibril Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Cross ange episode 2... That yuri sex scene and that yuri rape scene. What the... what did I.... this isn't a hentai is it? I mean I'm not complaining or anything but... wow... Quote

Without showing Shirou's thoughts about things a lot of into is missing, like the fact that his life is always in danger when he tries to use magic and that he is using strengthening and how basic the magic is. Though they can't show everything in the vn due to it being very long, so it's ok i guess. I agree about Shirou x Saber, it would be a waste to leave out all the character development Saber had in F/Z which tie in directly in the Fate route. Ufotable is not adapting Fate so Saber should be given her share. Sakura on the other hand has HF movies so she doesn't require much mention in UBW. Quote

This is what makes reading superior and a common problem readers face when watching any movie adapting their beloved books. Like you noted, time is valuable. They used to practice exposition in older Anime, but you had about 10 episodes of people standing there giving thoughts on the situation and each other. Quote

Yeah it does feel dull to look at people only thinking and not doing anything. Guess it's a trade-off for those amazing fight scenes. Movie-adaption of books are pretty bad, Ufo has done better than the norm so I should be happy. Quote
Jun Inoue Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I wonder whether it was only this episode, or if Grisaia will focus on Yumiko's route. The op also makes her stand a bit more than the others. SieghartXx 1 Quote
Nosebleed Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Sora no Method is really good. I like the whole subtle mystery behind the whole plot, it keeps me entertained. The characters so far have been a little too generic though but they're not annoying so i'll let it slide. Noel is cute too. Overall I still have no clue where this anime plans on going but I can't wait to find out. Girlfriend Beta.. How do I put it.. If you were to ever wish for a show that has cute girls everywhere, and then add explicit yuri undertones on top of it. I think the result would be Girlfriend Beta I'm so glad to be alive to witness this anime. I don't care how bad the plot is, I already have everything I wished for. Quote

Cuz I think they are doing an awful job at portraying many of those girls. Their voices and manner of speaking, specifically. Quote
Nosebleed Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Really? Cuz I think they are doing an awful job at portraying many of those girls. Their voices and manner of speaking, specifically. Take a deep breath. Appreciate the fact that there's cute girls. Don't question anything else. That is how you enjoy this show. Quote
Jun Inoue Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Take a deep breath. Appreciate the fact that there's cute girls. Don't question anything else. That is how you enjoy this show. But I have cute girls in almost all of the anime I'm following. And cuteness is part physique, part spirit. They fail the spirit part so hard, it makes me cry. I expect more, Nosebleed! I expected... smth! Quote

That immediately boosts the show's enjoyment level. Who cares about the crappy voice acting, there's cute girls being cute with other cute girls. There's nothing else you could ask for. Quote

Decay Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 You can see cute girls anywhere. I need a lot more than that to make me want to watch something. Quote
Nosebleed Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 You can see cute girls anywhere. I need a lot more than that to make me want to watch something. Of course. You also need yuri goggles to enjoy this show. I'm very simplistic with these kinds of shows. The plot is always mediocre at best and terrible at worst, so there's no use in thinking about it. Just find enjoyment in the simple things the show actually gives off, which is cute girls doing cute things. Granted there's better, but who cares. Quote

Jibril Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Girlfriend is so boring... but... why didn't she said this while sniffing her clothes, if she did I would have put this as the best anime of all time..... And oh my, that new Akame opening and ending. Wow they receive quite an upgrade... Quote

And oh my, that new Akame opening and ending. Wow they receive quite an upgrade... Maybe they said "hey, this is being decently popular, let's put some more money in." The opening of Madan no Ou to Vanadis is epic o: She said it internally.. I'm sure.. But come on isn't this enough for best anime of 2014? She's the most annoying of them all, so I say hell no xD Quote
Nagisa_Fawkes Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Oh man, Kokkuri-san is definitely my favorite comedy. xD It`s already the one I look forward to the most every week. Girlfriend Kari is cute, and it seems like yuri on the works, so it's promising, could use a lot more just though, I could only count 4 justices in the whole episode (yes, I looked for them the whole time).
