| I try, I REALLY try to look at the changes ufotable has done in a positive light, but I'm more and more reaching my breaking point. |

| It's quite boring to be honest after all the hype, now I won't judge it since I haven't played the VN yet. |

Hell if you've seen Kara no Kyoukai you'd have a better idea of the kind of story telling this series has. if i were to apply manga terms to this series i wanna say that it's a Seinen with shounin flavor.It's quite boring to be honest after all the hype, now I won't judge it since I haven't played the VN yet. |
Grey-Zone said: CookingPriest said: Not really.It just needs a good director that can portray atmosphere and spend a lot of time in character's heads. It would basically require constant monologues, which would bore a lot of viewers. Monogatari.

Does not help that it is a character driven piece with all of character driven material removed or watered-down in adaptation. |

Doesn't help either how I couldn't understand all those term for magic and how shirou projection work. Maybe it was explained but I don't remember seeing any explanation of all those magic term they shoved at the beginning. |
| The explanations are in source material but were for some reason removed or trimmed for adaptation. Which will create a lot of problems near the end of the show. A LOT. |

You average viewer won't care as long the fights are good, the animation is gorgeous and the plot is at least semi-coherent. |

It's remarkable that so many people I know are beginning to take interest in the Nasuverse because of this adaptation. Of course, there are just as many haters, but hey, what franchise/series doesn't have their own set of naysayers? |

Your average viewer will thing FSN is a generic fighting shonen with dense protagonist and lots of asspull, but hey animation is great~ |

| I would be more happy if the anime had more Sakura but so far it is enjoyable. |

Gov said: chat77 said: Thats for HF movies ;) They get movies too? Interesting. Will definitely check it out when they to America. Sakura is pretty much non-existent in this TV series.The movies will depict an alternate timeline where instead of Rin, Sakura is the main girl and will play a much active role.Same goes with FSN Rider. |

| I see. No timeline when it is coming, so I will probably forget until I see it on the top of MAL movie rankings. Pump out those 10/10 people. |

Gotta get 'em to the top 10 :3 Lol People were legitimately pissed that Gintama 2015 was number 1 on MAL for a time and so I can't wait until I see this move at the top of the list. The usual FSN haters are interesting enough but the whole community coming together to hate on something, will be a treat to watch. |

You aren't one so don't think you know what they think while you clearly don't even have an idea. Before I seen the VN and when I only saw first season, I nver saw this as a generic fighting shonen, never thought that the protagonist was generic, dense I have to admit yes but hey, don't blame me if he can't figure out that Sakura loves him after this long and there wasn't many asspulls. There was like what one of them but not a lot like you seem to think. The only asspull was something that was explained in Fate not UBW and yes, the animation is to die for but when I was anime only, I enjoyed everything this series had to offer, not only fight scenes. Most anime fans really enjoyed this series and a lot have started the Vn and other things in the Nasu Verse because of this. It isn't shitty, it isn't bad, it isn't awful, it isn't cheap fireworks, it's legitatitly(failed spelling this word) a great anime. There is a reason it's this popular and that's not because of only the Vn fans. The majority of anime watchers think it's good, of course there are the ones that don't think that but yeah and the Vn is more boring than the anime. While I personally don't think it's boring at all(Well, actually there are numerous scenes that were dragged on and without emotion at all like Saber being taken by Castah, was so long and boring) but generally, it was a fine piece of entertaiment. Just some moments, like you could count them on two fingers but still, I was never bored with animu so... I happened to come into this thread and saw this post and wanted to state I'm glad you said this stuff. Some of these VN readers are always talking about what we anime onlies are thinking, how we can't enjoy watching Fate Zero first and then watching this,some of them are always so pompous about it too like anything they say about what we think must be 100 percent true. I don't get how they suspect these things when Fate UBW clearly has a high rating on this site. Then there's the whole thing about them basically taking over the discussion episode threads arguing with each other about the VN not being adapted properly and other VN related discussions, pretending their comments, which I assume they think are witty, aren't glorified spoilers and the such. |

Mainly it's them saying that the AO are either getting different information or just plain wrong information. It isn't 100% true but considering the people i know in real life watching this and their statements along with those online, it isn't far from the truth. Is it a good anime? yes, is it a good adaptation? No and for the later no one but the visual novel readers can really have an opinion on that regard. Does it have a high rating? yes, but so does One Punch Man and that hasn't even come out yet...high rating cause hype, studio, previous work, and series. Same can be said for fate/stay night. ufotable is doing it...they did KnK and Fate/Zero, along with the popularity of F/SN in general it is a brew of good shit...the problem is whether people can look past the hype and see it for what it is. In this regard i blame no one but the director...the animations are pretty good, affects are amazing...VA are great, sound is great...but what is being thrown together, at least for me, is not up to par. |

Yeah I get hype and all that effecting the ratings before hand, but whenever something is shitty-or below the hype- and not perceived well regardless of the prior high hype it does not stay so high listed, it drops into the 7's, or even worse. Just look at the ratings for Psycho Pass 2, both Aldnoah Zero seasons and Ninja Slayer, when an anime goes to crap its ratings change drastically, if the mass majority of anime onlines had such a negative outlook on UBW as some people try to pretend the first seasons, and even this season at this point, would clearly have ratings show a drop of noticeable proportions. I guarantee you if people have a grudge with One Punch man that rating will drop. |

Forgetfulness said: Btw I'm watching the show with two RL friends that are AO and they don't make retarded assumptions like "Shirou's power is summoning Archer's swords" instead of "Shirou's power is projection". Also they are willing to suspend their disbelief until explanations due to having watched Fate/Zero first (I didn't think they would see/read F/sn so I just showed it to them) because they know that Fate/ isn't some lazily written piece of trash But then again, I don't know what kind of AO idiots on the Internet Fai looks for. I would hope more people would be open-minded like my friends but who knows. The Youtube comment section. That is all. |

| In fact, the anime reviews I watch of an anime only is very positive and so is the common section, except rogue angry VN readers, in particular Harry Dresden who from what I gather from comments in this section is the CookingPriest or "Fai". And if that's not the CookingPriest, perhaps there's some other person people on this forum say is this guy always ranting. |

Forgetfulness said: WrongPriest said: Lol...I'm not even going to go there.The Youtube comment section. That is all. I have a friend who is watching it 100% blind, since he's not even an anime watcher, so he knows nothing of Zero or DEENight, and it's the same deal. He doesn't complain about nor hold any of the misconceptions Fai claims the filthy anime only casuals will have. Of course those people exist, but they're in places like the youtube comments, a place you only go if you're actively seeking to destroy your own faith in humanity. Granted, at the same time, there are issues with the adaptation; My friend usually has a fairly long list of questions for me after every episode, which I'm content to indulge him in; some of them are simply because he hasn't gone through fate, but some of them are unclear or not properly portrayed and count as issues with the adaptation. But on the whole, they're minor things that certainly don't ruin the adaptation. For the most part, things work and make sense if you're paying attention but not reading too much into meaningless things (like, say, a certain somebody stumbling in one scene). The devil is in the details, of which there are a fuckton of intricacies and exceptions because it's nasuverse, but for the show to work, it really does not (and should not) explain them all in detail. As per the usual, it's not perfect, but it's also not as bad as the most vocal naysayers claim it to be. |
| I think the youtube comment section gets too much of bad rap, it's not that much different than any other online community with mostly good but rare problems. Honestly, unless you're on music, political and such videos where racism, sexism and overall bigotry will arise it's just fine. The worst thing about youtube comment sections for tv shows and stuff like that is probably spoilers, they're much more blatant and brazen with it-at least in this forum some vn readers will tell people to spoiler tag their spoilers and hide their spoilers in witty remarks-. Which is why I was glad I read the AOIAF so I couldn't get spoiled anymore when it came to GOT. Tumblr though.........I swear that place is crazy, about everything and anything. |

That's true, when it comes to getting gifs and pics for stuff be it for avatars, sigs or even fapping tumblr is the best, but the opinion pieces and overall crazies there are mind blowing. |
