I really do feel bad for non-VN readers because they may never see a proper adaptation of the Fate route for a while. It sounded like to me that Heaven's Feel would be ufotable's last Fate project for some time (it would also be sweet if they animated Hollow Ataraxia eventually, but that's besides the point). Maybe they're holding some cards to their chest so surprise people about a Fate adaptation, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. The only other studio that I would want to animate the Fate route would be Madhouse since they have a good budget and tend to stay faithful to the source material with their adaptations. Still, I'm hoping that Fate gets animated by ufotable one day. Mahou Sensou Death Note's second arc Mahouka etc. Gantz Claymore fuck madhouse Gantz was made by Gonzo. Not madhouse. And meh, Claymore was faithful up until the filler ending and three of the others were crap in the sources too. |

So next week's episode is still the same episode in Shirou's perspective? You know, getting stab and the episode ending when Saber is summoned. |

I think this anime will heavily require the audience to have seen the fate zero series and maybe even the original fate stay night. It already shows you with not explaining anything and not setting a tone at the beginning. If i were knew to this anime and the first 30 are slice of life with a hint of magic i wouldnt expect an action anime. Action was nice though and i cant wait to download the soundtrack for it. animation style didnt really change.. still lower animated conversations and flashy effects and quickly changing images to imitate fighting scenes. Not really a qualitiv way of animation.. but hey it works.. just look at all the people who dont know anything about animation saying it is the best thing ever. Storywise i hope they wont make it like the ultimate bladeworks movie, which was just a chain of asspull events. |

Not really spoilers, but just in case: There was a lot of info dump in the Prologue in the Visual Novel, but that stuff is repeated later on, when Rin and Kirei explain the rules to Shirou. UBW is a standalone, it doesn't need to rely on FZ or the Fate route, although I'm sure it would be better if one had knowledge of the Fate route. Also, UBW came out before FZ, people don't need FZ knowledge for obvious reasons. As for story... it's the same one in the movie. Whether they are asspulls is up to you, but the story is more fleshed out because they obviously have more than 100 minutes to tell a 15-20 hours long route. |

Yeah, not to mention that prologue kind of intentionally throws you in the middle of things, even in the VN, slowly explaining what is going on latter. A lot of fictional narratives do that. The episode did well to set up groundwork for newcomers: - we learn there are magi in the world and that they prefer to be in secret - We learn that there's something called Holy Church that acts as some sort of safehaven. - we learn magi set up something called boundary fields that serve variety of purposes. - we learn Tohsaka is a magus. - We learnshe feels responsible for her "territory" - we learn that her father is somehow dead(snce she is deciphering a will) and mother too since the priest on the phone says "something your parents left behind". - we learn there's some sort of magical war that happens periodically and to participate in which you need to summon a familiar and have a magical tattoo n your hand. - We learn there's a limited number of participants. - we learn its a war over an object that can grant any wish. - we learn that Tohsaka fights for the sake of fulfilling her family's desire to win that war. - we learn that servants are called by their weapon/style, but have identities of heroes that are meant to be secret as to not to lose the advantage. -we learn that Saber is supposedly best class. -we learn that the ultimate attack is something called a noble phantasm. - we learn that servants are spirits who can eat souls. That's pretty much majority of VN prologue too with exact same amount of info said, that is relevant to situation and to setting up what is going on. There's no need for anything else yet. Prologue sets up the world quite perfectly and then allows the show to naturally go more in depth into any of those subjects as it goes along by focusing on protagonist who is less knowledgeable about that stuff and wants to learn what is going on just as viewer does And its done in far more well-paced way instead of just dumping all info at once like Zero which assumes you know it already. In fact KNOWING what is up from Zero would make this incredibly boring. |

He does have the habit of building a set of rules and then getting cornered by them. Only to asspull his way out.

Is it only you or are you speaking from the writers perspective?

InsertPriestHere said: That's funny, but I don't think you watched the episode. Or have a shit computer/eyesight. If i hadnt watched the epiosde why would i be in a forum DISCUSSING the episode?

The author actually. Okay, he didn't say "watched", but he meant "experienced", as he wrote FZ for those who already knew FSN. There is a reason FZ casually throws around facts, while in FSN the background events from the 4th War are generally revealed as major plot twists. And you've seen one (!) episode of the new anime. As I've said before, the explanations will very likely come, only later because Rin already knows the rules. Shirou does not.

And yes, with more given time and explanations, these "asspulls" are as much asspulls as any other Noble Phantasm (there is one explanation in UBW that I find ridiculous too, but I'm not gonna discuss this here). They were lacking explanations. There is logic behind it, if you're willing to read it. |

Who is saying that Zero should be watched afterwords? Everyone else, and Zero itself. There's a reason Zero casually spoils half of F/SN's twists in the first episode alone and leaves somethings unexplained--it assumes knowledge of F/SN prior to watching it. The new anime isn't lacking explanation or tone. they simply haven't gotten around to explaining and setting up everything yet. Let's see, you said: lower animated conversations and flashy effects and quickly changing images to imitate fighting scenes. -Wtf does "lower animated conversations" mean? Also I don't know if you weren't paying attention or what, then because the fight scenes were actually fully animated there were no "quickly changing images". Or if you do consider that as "quickly changing images" then every anime ever was just "quickly changing images". "I highly doubt that those asspulls would disapear after making it longer because they are not lacking explanation but rather logic itself.. but I dont want to discuss the ultimate blade works movie mistakes here so i will just drop that topic" Like what? There are no asspulls, and it is the lack of explanation that makes it seem as there is a lack of logic when there isn't one. Edit:Or like Core said, take it to another topic. They can all be explained. |

Then again, it may as well be a deus ex machina that gets overshadowed by the result of his appearance (saving Shirou from Gil and obligatory tearful goodbye). |

Or if you do consider that as "quickly changing images" then every anime ever was just "quickly changing images". You are aware that most anime (and perfectly seen in ufotables works) are using limited animation: while conversation they mostly stand still without moving or doing any other realistic thing like blinking (very rarly they do). The mouthanimation while talking is flapping instead of animate every single pronunciation (which is quite easily to do.. just look at the first seasons of southpark) Looking at the action scenes they put big flashy light effects over very fast moving pictures to make it seem like its good animated.. look at the action sceney with 1/4 the speed and you will notice that they arnt very good animated.. sure they are better than the limited animated conversation but still nothing compared to very good animated things like the Ghibli movies. Ofc i compare movies with a tv series, but there are also many american cartoon shows who got very good animation in it. In nearly any anime however you got limited animtion everywhere. I dont say it is wrong to do so.. i am just advising you that Fate Zero is NOT well animated, which can obviously seen looking and comparing technicle detail. |

Everyone is implying that it is the biggest sin to watch Fate/Zero before Fate/Stay Night. I have watched Fate/Zero first, loved it, and I am loving the new F/SN adaptation. I don't get it what's people's problem. Yes, there were some confusing parts in F/Z but there is a thing called an internet if you are interested. |

Zelretch bringing in shit from parallel realities and having infinite energy via that. Third Magic's "Wish and it is so" secondary capability that Illya displays Lancer's Lance that ALWAYS take off more than 100% of your HP if it hits your heart. Gilgamesh's sword that can kill the world. Fragrach. Or Nero's ability to make shit happen just because she believes it("You have armor? Tha's nice. But its as effective as paper because my weapon can't possibly NOT ignore it"), which comes solely from her giant ego and self-centeredness. Or, well, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING Arcueid ever did. ITS HOW they are explained and set up that matters. ITs not an asspull if its properly set up and explained. Not even to mention Notes and the fucking Aristoteles like ORT (Type Mercury) who would shit on even the badasses you mentioned. Don't even bother with Nasuverse power rankings... Eeeh the Aristoteles power level being at the top is debatable. It's all more than a little complicated. No its not debatable. Aristoteles are ultimate beings of each planet and Arcueid, not even at 100% can own pretty much everyone. mirakura said: And, how can Gi not have Nero's power??? Because Nero's power is not a "weapon" per say. Its her own delusional ego. Its unique to her. Its more akin to a reality marble(although not at that level). Her personality makes her deny reality and replace it with what she wishes and her ego allows her to instantly absorb any sort of "talent"(Riding/Divinity/etc) for herself, because of her absolute conviction that she is the best at everything. Both capabilities do not really "exist in history", but are real because they make up what she is. Gil might or might not have her sword, but even her sword is result of her self-delusion, as she describes it as "one of a kind, crafted by her herself". |

However even if an asspull is explained afterwards it still remains an asspull. Also it is worthy to note that just because you show a few blurry pictures of a sword does mean you can pull out that sword later and have it at once defeat an unbeatable enemy, cure cancer, declare world peace and make a great cup of coffee.

It's a pretty big leap. |

Lockensocke said: irrelevant stuff Do you realize how much harder it is to make good lip sync animation with art of this quality? ufotable's strength as an animation studio is in its art and cinematic feel, which may seem like lower framerates to you at times and thus gives off a "choppy" feeling. However, this only amplifies the cinematic feel that a movie gives off vs a tv show or a video. The art and character designs are top notch without a doubt and frankly, it would be jarring to see them act far too smoothly since they are definitely cinema level quality. Animation is not all about the movements of the characters, especially in such a diverse medium like anime. Comparing American cartoons or even Studio Ghibli to ufotable is like comparing apples to desk lamps. Not to mention, ufotable has fantastic background art to boot. The fight scenes were obviously well choreographed and their speed beyond human sight is what demonstrates their ferocity as servants. We cannot perceive them (which you cast aside as inferior animation) because they are supposed to be beyond our comprehension as superior warriors. |

However, you mistimed order of events: 1) Archer took down Caster while still being her servant (or immediately after the link broke, I can't recall which is correct right now and will have to check VN) - Day 0 2) Fight at Einzbern Castle (avoided destruction of his spirit core, spent most of the time being in spirit form afterwards) - 1 day passed 3) Fight at Ryuudou Temple - 2 days passed. Archer would've disappeared at the point he disappeared anyway as his time, granted by Independent Action, was up. Oh, and also, don't forget that Archer also assisted Rin when she went to save that assholeShinji |

We cannot perceive them (which you cast aside as inferior animation) because they are supposed to be beyond our comprehension as superior warriors. It may have pretty pictures it is still not well ANIMATED. And what? you think this is quality art? Hell no.. this is about avarage with some nice detailed backgrounds.. but characterdesign isnt over avarage. And like i said.. i dont blame them for not having well animated style to their shows. I personnally dont know how much they own and how much they spend for their animation but it actually doesnt matter, since it does NOT influence the representation from their shows.. it may excuse it but it doesnt make it better. And since the Fate Zero series was pretty much sold as shit i bet they could afford much better animation. The reason why they didnt include those.. anime fans wont appretiate them (they dont have any knowledge about animation and like it even with the old animation style).. in fact they will probably complain about it being better in quality since then it would look differently then their ordinary few of anime. |

Oh, and also, don't forget that Archer also assisted Rin when she went to save that assholeShinji Agreed. However I think it's metioned that Independent Action 2 day limit is based upon maximally conserving energy while also avoiding battle and the usage of Noble Phantasms. Archer used UBW twice and sustained serious damage as well. The time limit should have been significantly shortened. Though I suppose you could say he stocked up on Mana when he was Casters Servent but still, pretty big leap. |

Lockensocke said: even more completely irrelevant stuff The fact of the matter is that ufotable objectively DOES NOT have bad art, but since art is all somewhat subjective, it may seem so from your "superior" point of view--one which you have offered no explanation whatsoever other than stating them. The character designs were adapted from the original source material (the visual novel you clearly haven't even breathed upon) which was released in 2004 so they may seem a bit outdated--but hell a shit ton of people still enjoy them. Animation itself as a medium incorporates many aspects such as angles, backgrounds, even still frames, etc, none of which you have bothered to explain to a satisfactory extent. Either way, I'm going to go with CookingPriest and avoid derailing this thread even further, since you seem to have not even paid the slightest amount of attention to the actual episode or even the fate series as a whole since you insist on watching f/0 first. If you wish to continue this arbitrary and pointless rambling then go find another opponent who can deal with your unsupported tripe. |
