3/5. Interrogation scene was the spotlight. loled at that. They didn't include the scene with Issei talking about "that woman", but, oh well. The end with Shirou wasn't as foreboding as it's VN counterpart, but I feel Ufo's planning something.

By now, it's clear that ufotable's pouring all their budgetattention on:
-butts (Saber is an exception)
-some fight scenes
-food
Based ufotable indeed.

I'm pleased with this episode. The pace was much better than I expected and they also covered more stuff than I'd predicted.

The church scene was pretty good and I liked how mad Shinji was in it. I lost it when Shirou made Issei strip - it was a funny moment in the novel, but I don't recall laughing at it as much as I did today. Well done.

Not that it matters too much, but they could have been more faithful to the novel in the scene Shirou runs into Rin at the end of the day. The place didn't look the same, but I guess that's not a big deal. But they definitely should have made Rin pull Shirou's towards her body just like in the novel, that is to say, his chest against her breasts, rather than his back.

Now I'm not sure exactly how far they're going to take things in the next episode. But all in all, a great episode. Naked Issei/10. No homo.

All ufo can do with next ep is to mitigate damage. Evne if they add scene it will be far too close to the reveal already.

It might have been an offhand remark about Shirou, or a little jab to the side.
If he did have a scene the next day, it definitely wasn't memorable. Maybe another added scene for exposition's sake.

Maybe it can't be helped. UBW is fairly slow in the beginning to middle, but hey, second cour.

As described by someone I saw:
"Fate - Smooth jog all the way through.
Unlimited Blade Works - Starts off as a walk but breaks into a sprint.
Heavens Feel - A fucking turtle that grows rocket boosters near the end."
And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible.

Zero starts off slower than a man who just got 3 of his limbs cut off and is trying to climb a hill, then gets faster and faster until the flashback episodes, but then after that picks up where it left off and just gets escalitingly more intense until the end.

So, not quite a smooth jog.

I would comment on DEEN's UBW if I hadn't slept through it, which in a way says all you need to know.

Thanks for your response too CookingPriest. If we didn't have you to belittle everyone and ramble on about how you can only enjoy entertainment in the way that the God CookingPriest recommends, people wouldn't be able to live their lives.


CookingPriest's criticism adds a lot to the conversation. People always need to hear the opposite view and he doesn't come off as a troll either. I'm going to re-familiarize with the source material now because this anime is leaving important details. And you can't blame secondaries for calling asspull in the next episode.
I called asspull while reading the VN so I definitely wouldn't blame anyone. That just is what it is.

Exactly.

The bickering between Saber and Archer didn't illustrate anything to us other than their ability to engage in pointless arguments. What were they trying to do, show us some of Saber's chivalrous nature and insight into Archer's personality? That's not what I saw at all.

They just made up an excuse to have Shirou strip Issei. I can't see why else they'd do that other than fanservice. It's not like Shirou was really intending on checking for anything particular on Issei's body.

Shinji crying to Kirei didn't serve much of a purpose. Shinji already lost his servant and basically surrendered. All Kirei could do was say some stupid things and make some random ass smirk. I can't see how it'd imply anything about Shinji's next steps.

That dinner scene was also pointless. We didn't learn anything about Shirou. Were we supposed to realize that he wasn't naive with a hero complex for no reason and that he's starting to become aware of the challenges that his beliefs face?

Well, all the dialogue in Tsukihime is so BORING anyway...
How about this?

I think a good adaption of TH would be 1 Ufotable movie for each route. The dialogue is mostly too long and superfluous anyway, so most will be cut out and the majority of the time and budget will be dedicted to the REAL selling point of Tsukihime and the only thing it's really good at - the fights.
In fact, they can add in fights to make it less boring. It would be pretty much unwatchable otherwise, honestly.

Also, since Miura has such a good track record so far, he directs all five.

How does that sound?

Agreed. The 2010 UBW movie by DEEN was a better adaptation. It focused on the only relevant aspect of anime, the action. They managed to masterfully cram the entire UBW into a two hour movie that was streamlined from all that fancy fluff that pretentious people expect such as world building, character development, and details. The result was a brilliant piece of art that I believe you'll love.

Exactly. It cut away all the sophomoric, juvenile angst-ridden "dialogue" that plagued the series so and in doing so created a truly superlative work of art that surpassed its source material in pretty much every way imaginable.

Bravissimo, DEEN. Truly, DEEN finds a way.

Only flaw in that movie I found was when they were in the desert. So many swords stuck in the ground and Shirou didn't even use them. Why were those swords even there?

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.
