| Great episode, even without struggles, the development of the story was good and had great scenes of humor, as Shirou undressing Issei Rin is certainly the best girl, I like his personality and facial expressions Pity to have to wait until next year to see the continuation, but I hope they finish impressively this season .. |

| To people saying that Ufotable made this with the intention that people already knew about the Fate route, this is the complete WRONG way to make an adaptation. The point is for the adaptation to be able to adapt itself into the new medium and be able to stand on its own two feet without requiring outside knowledge. I shouldn't "have" to read the Fate route in order to get my bearings as to what is going on in this current show. Think of it this way; what if you're someone who lives in Japan and does indeed have access to this free version of the Fate route. However you come across this series, either on TV, you bought the blu-ray, etc. You started watching/bought it without knowing ANYTHING about Fate or that the Fate route is available for free. Is it really your fault for being ignorant? The show should be able to explain itself to reasonable degree how its world/characters function. Not only that but why must you cross to an entirely different medium just to get said information? What if you just don't like VNs? That would be completely unfair to them. This is the problem some fans are having in not presenting certain information yet. Now it's still possible for this information to be brought up before a certain event, but I don't think these fears are unfounded. |

HF and UBW complementing each other makes sense since both get adapted. Fate is not adapted. Assuming someone read the manual before adapting this is BAD. Hilariously this lacks even the hints and set up that UBW DOES have, which is kind of the problem too. |

| All those Shinji haters. You all are just jealous because he's best boy: |
 |
| Well if you make a 1:1 standalone adaptation of UBW route without Fate it's not gonna work without at least a few changes. This is why the FSN series translates weirdly into anime, the routes depend so much on each other. |
 |
| A much better episode than last week and I have to ask. WHY IS THERE NO ISSEI ROUTE???? |

Its strange because ufotable MADE those changes to some things that do note even matter, while not making changes for things that are huge for this route. |

| Found this episode a little boring. |

This is why the FSN series translates weirdly into anime, the routes depend so much on each other. Go to 4:02 I feel like this girl gives a pretty solid interpretation of how the adaptation works. Furthermore, her points about how the routes interact is excellent. No matter where you start, as long as you see everything, you'll end up seeing just how intricate the holy grail war is. The worst thing you can do is to limit yourself to portions of the story because you'll only be able to see few pieces. I feel like we're putting too much stress on what should be shown and in what order. It's like the Star Wars chronology debate (IV-VI, II-III of course.) The most important thing for people introducing outsiders to the series is that they get hooked, because they end up learning everything eventually anyways. |
RinArcher said: Z4k said: A much better episode than last week and I have to ask. WHY IS THERE NO ISSEI ROUTE???? It exists. it's unfair that there is an Issei route (With asking instead of forcing) but no Ayako route :( |
RinArcher said: But then where is Mahoyo? :"(Yeah, I'm pretty sure by the time Heavens Feel is all out, everyone will know mostly everything important you need to know about the fifth Holy Grail War that what we're arguing about right now wouldn't really matter. UBW is only like 1/3rd of Fate, so we still gotta get to HF which will then equate to most people knowing 2/3rd of Fate. Then hopefully after all that's done, Ufo will make a Fate Route and we can get to Ataraxia after that. |

CookingPriest said: Someone did not just go "watching this out of order is totally alright you guys".... whatever. Not gonna bother in ep thread with b aits. You're right. It's just an anime. It just doesn't matter. |
CookingPriest said: Someone did not just go "watching this out of order is totally alright you guys".... whatever. Not gonna bother in ep thread with b aits. Yea, what? It's almost like the VN had an update that allowed you to go into any route you wanted first, but we all know that you can only do it one way! And if you do it any other way, it is totally wrong! It isn't like the routes all contain differences from each other that can be enjoyed as setups, explanations, or interplay between them if you do it wrong! If you don't do it that way YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL DIFFER FROM MINE. |

The decision to change that for re-release was dumb I do not need my literature degree to know whyt hat was dumb. Fate is the start UBW is the middle HF is the fucking epilogue Are you seriously going to try to argue the info transfer from route to route now? SERIOUSLY Fate dumps all the info you need for introduction UBW builds off of that HF assumes you know both FAte and UBW stuff. FACT. stop baiting. |

If you don't do it that way YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL DIFFER FROM MINE. Well, I can't argue against the fact that it isn't for sale any longer. I can ask if you know the reason why it didn't sell more though. There's not necessarily any causation there. Putting aside the semantics and nitpickings though, the meat of the issue has more to do with what SwordHand is talking about.

The most important thing for people introducing outsiders to the series is that they get hooked, because they end up learning everything eventually anyways. I'm hesitant to call any particular consumer's viewing order wrong. If they completed everything, and enjoyed it, I find it hard to call their experience wrong. There are definitely starting points which make understanding the world easier than others, with Fate being the obvious example in comparison to UBW and HF. That's generally the reason it is put as the first of the order, because we assume that ease of understanding and world-building are some of the key traits for newcomers, and I'd agree with it. But I don't think it makes anyone else's experience wrong if they do it differently and still learn all the pertinent information and understand it. This is, of course, not a popular opinion around here, especially since one can see how it can easily be transplanted into saying that starting with F/Z before F/SN isn't wrong necessarily. And we know how that opinion flies around here. |

| I have no intention to deal with another "FZ/FSN first" debate, as I made clear several times how I see it. Whenever someone asked where they should start, I recommended people to go with the intended order. I don't care if they actually do that and I can see that following the chronological order can also be a unique and enjoyable experience. I tell them that too. And I tell them that not all routes have been adapted yet and it would take a while until HF is done, so they might just as well watch FZ after UBW, or vice versa, if they can't wait. What made me respond is your post with the route order. The PC 2012 version was sold for a while as three separate games. Each one costing as much as the entire FSN VN (and FHA) package before. I don't know exactly why it's been taken off, but even I see that this was a total ripoff. I can just as well, if I possess the Vita, buy the superior latest Realta Nua update for the PSVita, which btw locked the routes again, so I would have to play it in the actual order. Edit: So many posts already posted since I responded? Man. |
Shintai said: Think of it this way; what if you're someone who lives in Japan and does indeed have access to this free version of the Fate route. However you come across this series, either on TV, you bought the blu-ray, etc. You started watching/bought it without knowing ANYTHING about Fate or that the Fate route is available for free. That wouldn't happen when it comes to BD. BD and DVDs are sold for a niche markets of otakus. They are very expensive stuff, cost hundreds of dollars for a single volume comprised of 2 to 4 episode. The people who buy BDs are those who are already big fans of the source material. I do agree with criticizing the show as a standalone version if it was meant to be that way. UBW in the source material was never meant to be a standalone. It was unlocked after completing the first route. So expecting that the producers of the show intended this to be viewed by newcomers is a little too much to ask for. |

But it is 100% just set up and foreshadowing. Nothing else. No real pay off. Yes it needs other routes. |

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. |
| Alright episode. Only talking but a lot of Fate/Zero references and beautiful animations as always, especially the attention to detail in sceneries. |

| Question for VN readers: |
LambdaDeltaGamma said: Question for VN readers: I think it was answered earlier. Had to do with the multiple choices in the VN. You probably didn't pick the choice to see the scene. |
LambdaDeltaGamma said: Question for VN readers: Was Rin talking to Shirou about adoption in the VN? I don't remember that from when I read it - probably because I didn't know what she was talking about at the time. It's from the novel. |

| I lol'd at the stripping of Issei. A new route has opened! It was a good episode overall with the Shirou x Rin scenes. |
