| HOLY MOTHER OF SOUND EFFECT NOISE WYGUZZZ WHUZZZZZZ BOOOOOOM RIP EARS it;s worse than *CLANG* |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| OMG THE INNER MONOLOGUES!!! .... Just kidding, I was wondering what it was when people where saying it had those during the fight but it was just Sieg stating the obvious we knew in FZ and FSN, especially FSN(stated by the same freaking voice actor), it added nothing new for him OR the others and just made you lose what little focus you could have on the fight since not only is it faster than ufoUBW's fights but the sound effects are also ear rape,the bad kind. You know when monologues would be helpful here?When Astolfo was carrying MC-kun and the guards questioned him.But no, lets add old news in the middle of a fight.... And yes Sieg revealing himself was retarded as hell, as if ep2 never happened, and his Master didnt even give a fuck.And it was painful to read about him in the novels it is even worse here. Ryuunosuke didnt add anything to the war, didnt give a fuck about the war and still was an interesting character.Shinji with all of his bs at least served as a minor antagonist and as the character that you just love to hate. Gordes is that character you hate so much you wonder why he even exists in the story. |
| Karna is fucking GOAT! For a moment, I was wondering if the voice suits him but along the course, I come to like it. Kuro no Berserker moments were cute And so were the scenes with Modred. Seeing Miyuki Sawashito casting her like that was fun :D |

| I'd be really happy if someone told me which faction is the good one |
Xenocrisi said: Neither.Both have "good" guys and "bad" guys.I'd be really happy if someone told me which faction is the good one |
| With respect to the translation from LN, I would like to remind you that only volumes 1, 2 and more recently 4 were done, but 3 has been unfinished for years and no one has touched 5. |
 |
| Trap-kun best girl |
| Karna,the goat, the second strongest after Gilgamesh, is finally here. And it looks as fabulous as I expected. The fight was pretty mediocre IMO, too much earrape and (in the LN) it seems like Siegfried was getting cornered pretty much the entire time. It was a good episode, I already love Mordred. |
Pakumen- said: Karna,the goat, the second strongest after Gilgamesh, is finally here. And it looks as fabulous as I expected. yeah F/GO powercreep makes that a little debatable |
Oh wow, the TV broadcasting regulations really didn't do any favors to this episode. Looking forward to rewatching this on bluray. |

ssjokg said: astroprogs said: That cant fix stupid tho(true names reveal)Oh wow, the TV broadcasting regulations really didn't do any favors to this episode. Looking forward to rewatching this on bluray. Well, it seems that Karna revealed his name first and Sigfried is stupid honorable enough to respond in kind. It's an unnecessary change, but at least it's in-character for him. |

Makes Gorde's decision in ep2 pointless, and it is out of character for him to not react to Siegfriend's disobedience."Dont speak" is an order he gave him. Ffs they are turning Siegfried into Zero Lancer. |
| I have a feeling Ruler is gonna piss me off in the future. Berserker of Black best girl smh. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |

Gordes not reacting could be explained by him just not hearing Karna and Siegfried talk. Or maybe they'll address it next episode, who knows. Siegfried always seemed like the honorable to a fault type, so I'm not that surprised TBH. It's unnecessary, but explainable. |
astroprogs said: It removes the impact from an action later on.He must act like a slave to his Master in order for that scene to have any importance to his character.ssjokg said: Makes Gorde's decision in ep2 pointless, and it is out of character for him to not react to Siegfriend's disobedience."Dont speak" is an order he gave him.

Maybe they'll change things around to accommodate the change. I'll restrain my criticism until i see this particular thread's payoff. |

This is how you do it, Ufotable!" ... I'm like "what?" It was barely a monologue, it was just literally 2 lines stating the obvious, adding nothing to anything. They should've put some awesome soundtrack there or something. There wasn't one, maybe they put that 'monologue' there to fill the absence of ost, but w/e. Personally I don't particularly like monologues in fight scenes. If you just focus on one of them you get completely different experience and emotions depending which one you focus on. And no you can't really focus on both, you have to split your focus and the result isn't magically an average of the two experiences. Your experience is muddled, basically. And to experience the scene properly you need to watch it more than once focusing on different things. This is why Bones fight scenes are really good usually, because during the fight scenes the focus is on the fight scenes (and its animation) with a complementing soundtrack. And which is why I also really like how Ufotable does it. Basically show not tell. This isn't an issue in other mediums, but in anime putting monologues in fight scenes is not the best use of the medium. You could even call it lazy or cheap. As for the fight scene itself..That ghosting (frame blending) really ruined it imo. |
| Still can't help but laugh at people who still think Astolfo is a girl, the trap card has worked I suppose. Goddamn, Fran and Moedred are stealing the show Ah Karna, the servant that is "too OP, that it isn't fair" has made his appearance. Seigfired is probably grateful that he was let off the hook RIP Jeanne's clothes. Also the monologue didn't add anything of importance, so idk why people are praising it so much, if anything it took away from the action and the info being shared could have been shown/explained at a more appropriate time. |
My Queens  |
| Yup... still liking Frankenstein the most for some reason... |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| The sound effects during the fight are horrible. And the choreography was bad also. I could barely tell what was going on besides that they were pushing against each other :/ Hopefully it's not this bad from now on, but we'll see. I'm guessing Berserker will be the first to die? But there has to be more to this than him just going crazy and running towards the enemy. But then again, he is a Berserker class 😵 And we got to see a bit of Archer of Red! Probably to character I'm looking forward to meeting the most :) |
| The fight between Sigfried and Karna was a nice appetizer for what will come. We also got some backround about the former and Frankensteins bridge. Episode ended with Aka no Berseker on his way to attack the enemies castle. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
The one thing they have totally nailed is that one. Spartacus is worse than all the other Berserkers we have seen.FSN Berserker doesnt act unless if he is given an order or his Master is in danger.FZ Berserker only loses it if Saber is around. Spartacus, even tho you can talk with him, is a total nutjob that even ignores orders and goes in a rampage. |
| Nice of Michael Bay to direct anime as well. At least there's gonna be explosions to look forward to! |
| After watching 3 episodes of the anime series, I think that the manga does a better job... |

While I do agree for this scene that the monologue may be detrimental to the atmosphere, since it's supposed to be an epic fight between some of the strongest servants and they really undersold Karna, overall it depends on the focus of the scene. Some of the most memorable fights in Fate Stay/Night were explicitly supposed to be very dull with severely weakened fighters, where the focus is on drive and willpower. For example, |

They also lost the opportunity to show how Gordes realized he was insignificant during their battle,instead he came across as whiny....in a comical sense(?) |

| Why does the fight should sound so awful? A pain to my ears. Glad it was cured by Berserker-chan's cute growls |

Some of the most memorable fights in Fate Stay/Night were explicitly supposed to be very dull with severely weakened fighters, where the focus is on drive and willpower. For example, This spinoff relies on the main story line for the two big twists regarding the previous Holy Grail war , it relies on the reader being familiar with what a Heroic Spirit is and how the ritual works and it relies on knowing Artoria's past in order to have a complete image of what was wrong with Mordred and Camelot in general. FZ assumes you have read Tsukihime as well for Kiritsugu's flashback.FSn assumes you have read KnK. All of Nasuverse is connected there is no work that doesnt do the newer ones a favor for already making most of the info dumps for them. There is no reason why this wouldnt be the same for anime. |
| What's with the explosions and other fighting sound effects? They sound really low quality and pretty bad to be honest. |
Atavistic said: Also, it was unbelievably idiotic that the castle staff could not see the fact that Rider was obviously carrying the Homunculus on his shoulder; seriously, he wasn't even trying to hide him, so it's just plain lazy that he wan't noticed. That obviously was a joke scene... |

| no idea which side i'm rooting for, i like Mordred and Astolfo, but i guess i like Mordred more, so i'll say red for now... |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| These 3 episodes are quite disappointing. Generally, the animation is medium and the visual gives the impression of watching a series of generic fantasy such as Chain Chronicle or GrandBlue Fantasy. The characters aren't very developed either. They match with a trope "dere-dere" and personally I repeat myself constantly but I am tired of seeing this type of characters in all adaptations from light novel or manga. For example the character with the pink hair that I will name "Felix" or the false Saber (the "vulgar" xD). The story is difficult to follow given the number of characters and I feel that the background of most of the servants are shown in a rush. |

| I was really hyped for Apocrypha, but so far, from the point of someone who reads the novel, isn't what i was expecting. Everything is so rushed to the point that it doesn't pass the right feeling that you should get. I'm not expecting by any means to be match the novel, but it could be way better. TuyNOM said: the animation is medium and the visual gives the impression of watching a series of generic fantasy such as Chain Chronicle or GrandBlue Fantasy. About the animation, this quote said everything. Don't take my criticism as "This show is bad", on the contrary, i'm just a bit disappointed overall. Let's keep going, story gets more interesting later. |

This is surprising because 25 episodes are planned to fit 5 volumes, I think? |
