ijuka said: @k0k0 Just have the attitude that I do and watch UBW in anticipation for well animated action sequences. And that, lol. Every time I think of expressing a sentiment, I think again if it might contain anything that might provoke the Priests to shoot me with an RPG. As far as it goes for me, I've been watching all this for purely entertainment purposes. CookingPriest said: His role is literally "that person who saved Shirou from fire and then died" But then isn't it more powerful if the viewer knows that wasn't the whole story? I mean, from my perspective, I'm actually learning a lot more about what Kerry did after he settled down with Shirou, as opposed to being introduced to some minor foster father who left the protagonist unheeded. Context of a lot of things can get very wrong interpretations in different watching order, not to mention placing expectations in the characters the show does not even expect you to expect anything out of. And that is exactly what is happening with me. But then doesn't this make our sentiments five times stronger and, therefore, the show more enjoyable? The viewer may not be surprised by many revelations, but he would be eagerly awaiting that same reaction from the current characters. This, in itself, is one way of enjoyment in my opinion. |

| But you learn the truth of the matter in Fate, if we're talking about Kerry here. |
nocorras said: It's more powerful in the VN because y ou learn things in different routes and then HF throws you a shocker. It's a wtf moment. Yes, you must be right. But then VN also had many explicit scenes that might have taken away from the enjoyment factor for me. |

ChickenFry said: HungryPriest said: Partly true. If you watch or read something purely for entertainment purposes, sure. Otherwise it does matter a lot. So what is the purpose of anime in general? Education? Some anime are pure entertainment. Some anime have deeper purpose. It's an art, after all, it's purpose is to enrich us. In what way, it depends on the anime in question. Say that there's a picture where the artist wanted to convey a message. We can simply enjoy the picture for it beauty or we could invest more in understanding it and learn about the autor himself, his time, place, circumstances, etc. and through that figure out the message. Depends on our priorities, what is more important to us. |

It does, but you're correct as well: I think entertainment can be derived in many different forms from the Fate/ series, all depending on what you watch first and what last. My form of watching depends heavily on you all, in one sense, to constantly guide me where I see black holes in the story. |

The thing is, whole VN is designed around it giving reader a piece by piece of the story and having reader slowly form a complete picture out of those pieces. Kiritsugu's backstory is such as well, with Shirou's and Saber's contradicting memories of Kiritsugu indicating that there's more about Kiritsugu than reader's let to know, with the final piece finally being given in HF to form a complete picture of Kiritsugu. F/SN is quite good at leading you to think one thing and then throwing a shocker in there for the lulz. After F/SN picture is formed, you then get F/Z to see how the whole situation came to being. |

Yes, I can imagine that. Watching /Zero after would've brought more reaction from me upon Kiritsugu's character. This is one of the greater revelations that I've missed out on, sadly. |

What comes after is just the result of 2 things above. This is not pure art. Anime is an industry. |

Are you saying that animes are devoid of anything deep in them? That studios don't care at all about the original work when doing adaptations? That's a very shallow point of view. Movie industry. Music industry. Anime industry. They all contain both the mindless entertainment and the more intellectual pieces of art. And what is this "pure art"? When does something become pure art? Good or bad, it is still art. |

RedTie47 said: Sure Shirou, let's fight the more-powerful-than-a-human servant with a stick and with a disabled arm while losing blood rapidly. To take attention from Rin and allow her to actually get the injured person away instead of them all being a target? Why not. Sure, let's go to the house of someone who was trying to kill you 30 minutes ago. He knows she would not have gone through with it. Let's be real. If Emiya didn't have plot armor, he'd be the first to die with his stupidity There's zero plot armor. |

RedTie47 said: you think rin is such a bitch that she wouldnt even show graditude to shirou after he saved her ass from getting head shotted?Sure Shirou, let's fight the more-powerful-than-a-human servant with a stick and with a disabled arm while losing blood rapidly. Sure, let's go to the house of someone who was trying to kill you 30 minutes ago. Let's be real. If Emiya didn't have plot armor, he'd be the first to die with his stupidity you think shirou should have just sat there with rin and let the "attacker" continue to take sniping shots at them? i do understand the anime left out shirou's line about "something's not right here" but that's a whole dif cna of worms... plot armor? not really CIS would be the better choice of words since the actions being taken are from characer motive and some character motives wont be revealed until next adaptation..you could say it's a flaw of transfering UBW from it's VN format but UFO announced Heaven's feel the same day they announced UBW so it should aleviate most of the missing content.....hopefuly..... |
| S-chan has arrived~ |
 |
| Awesome |
 |
I officially declare that one of the best things in this adaptation are Rin's expressions. |
 |
dat rider  |
 Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places But we're trash, you and me We're the litter on the breeze We're the lovers on the streets Just trash, me and you It's in everything we do It's in everything we do |
| DAT RIDER! I'd love to RIDEHER! Unfortunately, I can't call her best Rider any more, but she's still best female rider. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Fate/stay night : Children Confirmed the fourth master, another school children. Presumably, it can be the master of Rider of one of the brother´s Matou, bet for the shy sakura... |
| Hmm I'm guessing he is talking about his step dad. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Sure Tohsaka, request a truce after you failed to kill him... bitch :P Best girl appears, damn Rider looks awesome in this <3 |
| Great episode. Finally Rider appears!!! I'm surprised Emiya was able to took that blow on his arm. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| RIDERRRRRRRRRRRR <333333333333 I was waiting til she appeared C: She looked so cool in the opening :D I'm glad Rin decided to attack Shirou. He IS dumb =____= AND annoying for being so weak yet not taking precautions to having Saber around, even if she has to hide on the outside of the school |
Kokoro_Inuzuka said: He IS dumb =____= AND annoying for being so weak yet not taking precautions to having Saber around, even if she has to hide on the outside of the school What makes him dumb? Rin is the one trying to blow up half the school out of sheer bias and impulse even though Shirou knows she does not have it in her. Just what precautions could he have taken to having Saber around? He knows how magi work. They would not attack a public location in broad daylight unless they want a death sentence passed upon them by Association. |

He knows how magi work. They would not attack a public location in broad daylight unless they want a death sentence passed upon them by Association. Rin wouldn't reveal herself as a mage like that unless she was fine with slaughtering the whole school for being witnesses. Obviously she isn't insane like that because it shows her personality has a caring side. She's also more experienced by miles-- starting magic at a young age. I'm sure she knows what she's doing and even if it WAS out of impulse, it's only for her to come out on top. She can't have him thinking she's his "friend" by going easy on him. Nobody was there and Shirou is way too pacifist to be taking part in this, which is exactly why everyone targets him first-- the weakest link. Yes, Saber can't dematerialize like Archer can, but just have her patrolling outside the perimeters of school grounds yet close enough to sense any danger that happens to him. |
| -Great episode :3 |
| Having Saber hang around outside of the school would have been helpful. She can probably easily hop the fence if she senses any magical energy and swoop in to save Shiro. Oh well at least Rider showed up in this episode. |
| Introducing, once again, Rider. Ahh oh how I miss her ~ A little skirmish between Shirou and Rin but glad to see they made up WTF face on point haha! |
 |
| I'm glad this version of Shirou isnt annoying as Studio DEEN's. Rider's got thighs now?! Oh boy *continuously fans self* |
 |
| Shirou needs to be more careful. Rin almost killed him. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| All Shirou need to do was protect her so she doesn't kill her, lol. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| It felt a bit rushed tbh. But still good. |
| hmmm finally a truce...now that's more like it... five servants introduced two to go |
 |
| Shiro finally did something useful |
 |
| Shirou is officially a dumbass. Who goes after a servant without his servant? That is just suicide. From there, I wanted Shirou dead LMAO. He was asking for it. And of course Rin Tohsaka saves his ass. She's literally the only reason Shirou got a chance at life. Get your shit back together, Shirou!!!!!!! GOD...THIS INFURIATES ME!!!! |
 |
| Welp, we finally see Rider for a second I thought she was Assasin based on how she looked but she is indeed Rider. We caught a glimps of Shinji being Rider's master, so looks like he is in the Holy grail war now. |
 |
| Can't be a hero if you're an adult? |
| So there's another master at school,and the one who's not coregeous.Good to see another servant which makes it five until now. |
 |
| I knew that girl would go missing or get killed! But maybe I shouldn't pat myself on the back because those cues last episode were anything but subtle. |
 |
| kiritsugu is dead??? nooooo and the new rider got me feeling some kinda way  |
