WTF why does archer have so much characterization but shirou has close to none? having a foil to a character that is almost non existant loses impact muira.

No, and secondly Shirou is still SHIROU in all 3 routes. It's the way his ideals are extrapolated on that differs in each route, it's why the start is even the same for all 3 in the 1st place.

Becuz it's an AU?

It was obviously Archer's personal anime since day 1 ~.~
How people failed to notice, I have no idea.
The prologue was even from Archer's perspective.

Because what you said, is that Archer is the reason why the UBW route happened:
""its archa that makes UBW happen hence he gets more characterization"

Well it's not, it's still Shirou's actions and choices that caused the branching point, it's still Shirou's ideals that get affected, and finally, it's still Shirou who is the MAIN character.

Why would anyone even root for Shirou in the anime?
Archer is the badass suffering hero who did lots of good deeds, but if it wasn't for Shirou's idiotic generic ideals he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Go Archer, knock some sense into that unlikable idiotic teenager.

See the problem here?

I could give this episode a 1000/5 just because Shinji gor rekt.
Hands down for Lancer for punching him XD
Finnally Shirou and Archer talked a bit... Even though Saber also said some interesting things :P
Kirei is Lancers master... I already knew this but I'm still shocked at it xD
Well, Shinji being the jerk he is sums the episode.
I wish it had fight scenes, but oh well.
All in all 5/5 episode.

because of archa.
and before that he was STILL shirou which had nothing new to add to the mix, so why complain about incomplete characterization while its archa is the one who needs it ??!?!?!

No because you are still treating Archer as the MC.

Get this, a failed future Shirou's character development DOES JACK for a present Shirou in another timeline.

Maybe because Archer is not the one that needs all the characterization. Shirou, the MC needs characterization. It's not really hard to understand. Archer is not the main.

But it's ok we learned all about Archer and apparently he's the most important person in UBW and Shirou doesn't matter since we learned about him in Fate.

Well this episode was... not what I was expecting.

First of all I don't like them splitting the focus from Archer/Shirou to Rin/Lancer/Kotomine/Shinji multiple times, I feel like it takes away from the immersion. Just as you're getting into Archer's speech it goes to Shinji just being ":O" over and over again.

I liked Archer's speech when it wasn't showing his flashbacks, because I honestly couldn't see how they could make a counter guardian's life look boring but somehow UFO did it. Sending counter guardians to kill convoys? Random terrorists? Really? It just looked really unimpressive tbh.

Best moments were probably Shinji's though tbh, so hilarious. But what was the point in Saber's flashback? She has no purpose here in this route and they should have characterised her in the first cour.

I loved everything about the scenes with Lancer apart from his lack of anger at the command seal, however they seem have made too much of an effort on making Lancer "cool" and "calm" this whole series anyway. Particularly in the Archer vs Lancer second fight, do you remember when they showed Lancer's insane battle hungry grin during that that battle in the V/N contrasting with Archer's struggling concentration? Chills. But in the anime he's dead serious...

4/5 (-point for boring flashbacks)
