Unlimited Rin Works


You can cut that sexual tension with the Excalibur. Oh and I also like how Ufotable did the OST during the contract scene. It's just mana heh.

The Rin blush though. Overall nice buildup to fight against Gilgamesh soon. Hope they can capture the thrill of that, seriously.

I don't remember meatgrail having a giant Shinji.
They skipped the part about Seiba being unable to use Excalibur...
And added another Seiba flashback.

Fate Alternate Universe Night: Unlimited Padding Works.

"Hey we have three episodes left and you said there's not enough content, Miura, what do we do?"
"Don't underestimate my talent to stall with pointless shots and zero pandering, young one."
"Should we maybe explain stuff there, like the high jumps scene so people can get some character development for Shirou?"
"Show Don't tell, youngling. Show Don't tell. We will instead have Saber walk around pointlessly and Spend first 15 minutes on talking heads."
"Brilliant!"
"Well there's not enough content in FSN, I had to do something, since I am such a great director.


So that's how they will fill up the rest of episodes after rushing or skipping or altering the most important parts...via horrible padding and turtle-speed pacing of pointless scenes.

That's what this episode was, pretty much. Anime original Padding scenes with no purpose, moving mouths stills with bad directing in VN canon scenes instead of actual show-not-tell, pointless zero pandering bullshit, pointless saber pandering, Shirou continuing to be treated like an idiot by everyone, Mary Sue Rin continuing to babble for 3+minutes, mary sue rin being annoyingly abusive and of course plothole dolphins.



Actually the ONLY time they use the show not tell in this episode is the scene that ACTUALLY needs the explanation(the high jumps).

I know this is short write-up, but I literally can't be bothered to care about this anymore and want to just see how deept his rabbithole goes and how fast will the train wreck into that wall and sadly there's nothing else to say about this episode, because...oh gods... I never thought I'd say this, but absolutely nothing happened this episode. Great Job Ufo.


2/5 so amaze.

That was a bit underwhelming. Lame even.
Also, did anyone else get the feeling there's cut BD content between the post-crest transfer blush scene and shirou meeting saber? The transition was too awkward, I hope we get a scene in between.

I think it was probably just the stream. It lagged for me three times, once even almost cutting 3-4 secs into the ED out of nowhere.

I am the Priest of my church
Yuetsu is my body, and wine is my blood
I have trolled over a thousand users
Unknown to sympathy, nor known to apathy
Withstood Shirou to eat Mapo Tofu
Yet, my question will never be answered

They would not be able to market Edge Feel as "tr00 zer0 sequel" otherwise, what do you expect.

Also all the edge seems to have bled into anime original filler scenes so none was left for canon moments.

You are missing my point.

This is visual medium and Ufo supposedly castrated Shirou's character depth because they wanted to "show not tell". So where's the showing?

High jumps is not even there in VN. If they are adding this crucial scene that explains A LOT, they should, you know, explain it. Otherwise it is pointless padding like the rest of episode.

I expect a lot of Rin's leg shots, Rin blushing and raging, as well as a lot of explosions and fireworks while animators fall asleep and forget to move the camera or do any sort of choreography.

Again. Explanation should be there.

Or are you telling me that the ONLY times Ufo will stick to VN canon is when they should NOT?

I would like to apologize for not sticking to Ufo's artistic integrity(tm) with that dolphins image. Here, I now modified it to fit the ufo AU canon:



There's some radioactive waste barrels down there but you can't see them I guess, too edgy and edge is in AO scenes.

Cons:
Dolphins, they even had one come at Shirou like the dragon from Deen. Why yes it looks very CG.

Pros:
Middle school Rin and enough Gif fodder to fill all of tumblr.

So it kinda pans out.

I actually liked the addition of the high jump scene. Especially leaving it mysterious.

15 minutes of Rin's Talking face in a still.
2 minutes of Rin being abusive bitch.
2 minutes of Saber walking around anime original content.
2 minutes of Zero pandering nonsense filler.
2 minutes of random shitty scenery shots filler.
3 Minutes of



I wonder why this is such an uneventful thread.

And we were wondering on how would they ever fill the episodes that are left having rushed all of important parts. That's how.

I expect next episode to have a lot of enemies standing around talking with each other with moving mouths in a still till a 12 second fight scene.
