As for your question and yes we were sad about the lack of melting face too :( pretty legit answer actually, but I was (mostly) being sarcastic if that wasn't obvious. If there's anything to complain about, it'd be the lack of important monologues (obviously), the lack of importance placed on how much Shirou is copying Archer (such as with the VN screenshots fateoffate posted on the first page), and Shirou overall not being portrayed as well as he should be. Also, Shinji is being portrayed more as someone creepy and less as someone scummy. Like, leaving out that Taiga was passed out on the floor and Shinji laughing about it. Okay yeah this episode really could've been adapted better. Points for Rider's death though. |

Okay yeah this episode really could've been adapted better. Points for Rider's death though. I think one of the points somebody brought up (it was either here, 4chan, or reddit. Can't remember for the life of me) was that the lack of facemelt had to do with rating or airing restrictions. |
 Ahhh ya got me. We've not given up on monologues just yet, but it seems like they're going for a different approach on the Shirou front, perhaps making it more Animeable? It's sad when it changes the context of a scene or simply fails to show Shirou's intentions behind an act when it was made abundantly clear in the VN, but they do a good job changing changing intentions into Visual shtuff.. when they can. Just pray to god they do the[spoiler]Shirou/Archer confrontation right. Shirou's thoughts in that are essential. |

SwordHand said: Zadion said: Animeable? no clue what that's even supposed to mean o_0 More fitting for an anime? There isn't a term for it so he's just wordcrafting I understood that, but, I mean, why would Shirou need to be changed to be more fitting for an anime? Because it's impossible for modern anime to actually have good protagonists so he needs to be dumbed down so he doesn't overwhelm the brain dread masses? lol If it's about the monologues then I understand, but 1) even if they can't go to the extent the VN did, at least a few more of the most important monologues could be included, and 2) there are ways to include the content of the monologues without actually making them monologues, for example Shirou could explain to Saber why he was copying Archer's style. |

Conveniance. 2. Monologues aren't very good when you're running on time constraints. 3. Explaining your inner thoughts directly to others and motives out loud is a mechanism really only used in theater. It's poor storytelling, and Shirou isn't a very open person in terms of his secrets. 4. Voice in the head is 1 way to do the monologues, but the director probably didn't like it. He's probably a proponent of "show not tell". Basically, they would have done it differently in another medium. |

| So Lala, why are you going spoiler happy in the episode threads again? -.- |
| I just rewatch this episode. And 10/10 for this subtle scene. Just perfect. And Shirou, you are a pervert... http://imgur.com/a/Xt4YD |

WrongPriest said: Rin + Sandwich. Irresistible. Saber gets all the sandwiches and They don't even pay attention to her. Defiantly UBW route. Nah, pay more attention, pal. Shirou looks at the red pepper. Then he looks at Rin's lips for a quite long time. Then he eats it while closing his eyes, imagining something. |

It's one of those weiner things (or do they actually have squid in them, now I'm confused lol. gaijin/10) You're just unraveling this story aren't you? Can't wait till we get to the end and find out every single one of Shirou monologues was typed in micro font and woven into the backgrounds. |

And Shirou associate Rin with red color, so that should add something to it. :p |
| It was a good catch lol, are you rewatching it frame by frame or something? XD |

WrongPriest said: It was a good catch lol, are you rewatching it frame by frame or something? XD Uhm no. It's a long silent moment. So I pay more attention to the visual. It's not that hard to catch. |

It ha snothing to do with medium SAO2 handled monologues brilliantly and managed to trim them correctly. But if you have a very big difference between adapting a light novel and a visual novel, Fai. You tend to forget that. Fate VN is mostly composed of the narrative monologue characters, while SAO II comes from a Novel light that follows the basic pattern of writing to LNs And you might want to kick my ass, but I could not see all this immense manipulation monologues of characters that you say have in the series, which to me keeps the characters, at least, with two-dimensional development and that still annoys me in many ways, but you deal with your very personal pleasure in these reviews, and well, I admit that SAO II is fun to watch. |
I am Hatedmainofanime. More no one. |
| Ugh, so cringe. Rin ''comedic/blushy/romance'' scenes, continue to be extremely awkward and unpleasant. It kinda ruins my image of her a bit. Damn, I can't believe Rider is dead. I want to know the identity of the other masters so bad. Decent episode. |
 |
| The series doesnt care about the totally wrong image you and others have for Rin. |
| I don't know why everyone wants Rin to be Tokiomi 2.0 |
 |
nocorras said: I don't know why everyone wants Rin to be Tokiomi 2.0 I don't. That guy was chill though (even if not that interesting), loved his voice actor. On a more serious note. It's okay if she is not composed and clam all the time, it's just her scenes with Shirou are cringe-worthy, like a generic rom/com. I'm all for seeing a soft/funny side of her, just not necessarily with Shirou. |
|
| Well, I honestly think that sometimes Ufotable went overboard with the tsundereness/blushing of Rin. They tried too hard to make her cute, I guess? |

insan3Inquisitor said: Well, I honestly think that sometimes Ufotable went overboard with the tsundereness/blushing of Rin myself. Problem is that there has to be something to replace shirou going "heh heh rin looks like she's going to murder me (she's pretty hot though)" |

I don't have a problem with her being a tsundere/blushing and all that, I just think the way it's presented is a little overboard. Basically, it's a problem I have with the anime. I think they've over-emphasized Saber's cuteness, also. |

| Was pretty okay, still slow as fuck. |
 |
| I'm sure I'm not the first guy to say this, but here goes: that 360° head spin was cree~~~py~~~ and we didn't even get to see the Rider was useless in this route. Caster took her out? it's a bit hard for me to swallow, but ok. there's the slight chance it was iron fist that took her out... I'll have to wait and see I guess. |
