It's called criticism.


It's still just opinions. You find no value in them, I find plenty. I don't say they they should have been put in, or get angry if I don't get them though. It's a nice touch.
You on the other hand are trying to say they shouldn't be included because of YOUR own preference.
You nor I dictate what is justified and what isn't.
Your opinions don't decide what should be included or what isn't.
You have the option to ignore them if you dislike them.

If you want to talk about what is necessary then the entire show isn't necessary, in fact the entire medium of entertainment isn't necessary. That doesn't mean it's a bother when it's there.

Dude, calm down! Is it the use of the word "justified" that specifically made you upset? The way I meant it, it could be interchangeable with "necessary to the narrative".

My point was, the episode would have flowed better and, as a result, told a better story if those first 10 minutes were abridged. They could have accomplished everything they accomplished in those first 10 minutes that was relevant to the story/characters/development/etc. in a much shorter time.

I'm not, I'm just giving a counter argument. Like I stated those first ten minutes are an added bonus, the show is already twice the length of a normal show so there is no reason to complain about them.

I understand your criticisms towards them, but I don't see how they're not justified.

Anyone could explain as to how Caster have gotten Shirou's seal, when he supposedly has no command seals at the time that she transferred?

1- Episode 1, First usage where he commanded Saber to stop attacking
2- Second usage was where he summoned Saber in the school during Rider's Attack
3- He ordered her to stop in the latest episode

Yet she have 3(?) seals for saber.

Simply because she didn't necessarily take Shirou's seals, she Nullified the contract between him and his servant.

She then recreated the contract between herself and Saber.

New Contract.

New Seals.

I believe she created a new pact with saber therefore creating new seals. But I am not sure.

She renewed a contract in a way
Rule breaker, Excess Mana Supply
Theoritically any master could renew a contract if they had enough power to do it. Caster being from the Era of gods is able to do it because of that.
She wasn't specifically named, but what Kotomine said should give you an Idea of who she is, basically she can break the rules of the grail war.

Ahh, so that's what you were mainly getting at, then. Don't focus too much on the word "justified" as I used it, I didn't place nearly as much weight or meaning on it as you seem to have interpreted.

As for the "added bonus" aspect, that's what OVAs or specials outside the main show are for. As it is in the show now, it's just padding. What a show does with its time is important. Every extra minute spent on drawing out the date is a minute which could have been spent elsewhere furthering the plot, developing characters, etc. That's why I say it's wasted time in the narrative.

It's pretty hard for her to use in combat, It being a short dagger and her being a caster an all. Still ridiculously strong though.

Should be called Harem Maker instead of Rule Breaker though XD

Caster's strength is as a long distance fighter, so her having a dagger meant for close range seems like a good way to balance her out. Almost like a joke to give her a close-range weapon when there are so many melee servants in the war.

Yea I understand why you would say that, but to me it's a nice added bonus kinda thing. Especially since it builds Tohsaka and Shirou's relationship which will be necessary for the second cour.
It's like Fan service in shows people complain about them but to me I don't care, they don't add to the show nor do they take away from the show they're just there. For people who like it it's nice, for people who dislike it they could just ignore it that way both parties win.

Regarding the preview: why did they keep Saber in a wedding dress? I mean, I get that the source material was an "adult" visual novel, and putting her in a wedding dress was likely meant to appeal to fans and whatnot, but with ufotable taking over and making everything better and less "adult" (in that sense, anyway), did they just keep the dress because it's part of the story, or...? Gah, I don't know, it just feels out of place.

There’s no hope on the battlefield.
It has nothing but unspeakable despair.
Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated.
Yet humanity has never recognized this truth.
And the reason for that is, in every era,
a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legends and prevented them from seeing the evil of bloodshed.
The true nature of humanity has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age!

She kicks a fair amount of ass in the fate route, so she kinda gets drop kicked into a well of being shat on for most of UBW.

She still has her moments though.

No.

As Caster explained in the temple you can't dispel those threads with modern day magic. You need servant level attacks for that.

Caster could dispell anything Rin or any magus in the world can do by coughing.

Taiga would have been killed in the process if Shirou didn't stop Saber. Taiga was still in the clutches of Caster. And Caster had an incredible amount of Mana to use, so fighting her head on would be a fatal mistake.

Man, that ending made me realize why I love the Fate series so much. Shirou has enough determination to spare, just like any other shonen protagonist, but here he FAILS. He realizes himself that he can only do so much. And that sets him on a path of destruction...
