I'm sorry for triggering something, anime watcher. I'll reflect on it. But hey, it's been discussed. let's take I somewhere else now. |

CookingPriest said: chickenonthepan said: Fai before episode 9: Perfect adaption so far. Fai after episode 9: They forgot to add one scene about projection. This will be the flop of the year. It is STILL perfect adaptation. And I am not saying anything new. These complaints I stated in Ep1 and Ep0 threads already, you can check. I suggest you save the criticisms for the BD version. They have to cut a lot of things due to the time restriction. |
CookingPriest said: ANGRY2011 said: Of course. Forgive me for not knowing that you've conducted an extensive poll of every single anime-only viewer who is currently watching the show and tallied their responses. I observed majority of forums and communities on the internet, as well as most of live reaction videos. Excellent. I'm pleased to now know that every single anime-only viewer posts on these forums or that they do reaction videos. That way I know for a fact that your counting-on-one-hand estimate is spot on. |

Like the eating scenes that served no purpose...Or shirou randomly unable to sleep...oh wait they are still there. |

| Let's stop lol Everything else that's been here is positive, let's just wait till next ep before we light torches. |
|
| Innocuous scenes like the sleeping and eating do serve a purpose. They help the audience come to like Shirou and the other main characters more. Furthermore, the Emiya household is probably one of the most peaceful, loveable homes in all of anime. I honestly love the atmosphere of the household in the VN. Relating and empathsizing with the characters is one of the most important aspects of storytelling. Don't discredit it. |

CookingPriest said: Oh don't get me wrong its all in the VN It still touches subjects people will interpret as "totally zero sequel" They do that already, and would still do it if there were no new scenes whatsoever. You should stop caring what they think since at this point it's blatantly obvious they've made up their minds. |

Oh don't get me wrong its all in the VN It still touches subjects people will interpret as "totally zero sequel" Other than that I didn't notice anything blatant seeming other than maybe Saber inquiring about Kerry, but that doesn't amount to much. |

Ignoring the conversations that happen during that time, such as confirming that the students will be ok, giving a reason to visit the Matou household later, and setting up the episode ending monologue through Saber's questioning, it is clear that the eating scenes were simply WASTED because we desperately need foreshadowing right now or the whole thing is RUINED. |

| Seems like they're doing the bare minimum, but I was glad to see Shirou's internal dialogue at the end. Them eating was only to setup that scene, so I don't have a problem with it. chickenonthepan said: Yeah that sucks, but as long as they give Saber proper closure at the end, I'll forgive it. |

I could care less about that when that comes at the cost of Shirou's development, who is the MAIN FOCUS of this story. I do not watch this to be "Tohsaka and Seiba: The Show" I watch this because it is "Tohsaka and Shirou: The Show" |

| A major complain people have witn fsn is how unnatural the conversations and exposition are.Here we get a seemingly natural flow of conversation about Shirou's freaking ideals and you call it wasted Fai? |
RinArcher said: Dream95 said: so there is going to be a 2nd season? is it official already (like did they announce the release date for it yet?) The link is here. It starts on Apr 2015. black1blade said: That's a different skirt. Her school uniform skirt is long and her casual skirt is short. Oh wow, you're right. I didn't notice that until I saw the school uniform on top just now lol. I still think its pretty much at the right size, just enough that you want to look under through your monitor to see whats there. nah, legs are enough. Wouldn't want to be a perv now. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

Secondary characters are worthless in comparison to the main characters. Of course, we are still ignoring how it works as a natural lead in to the exact Shirou development that is supposed to be so important. Who needs that? |

| Shinji Kirei Rin Those were the side things that caught my attention this episode. The main thing was the talk about Kiritsugu. It really reminded me of why I like Unlimited Blade Works: there's no deeper meaning to any of this. It's just a story about a boy with the dream of becoming a Hero of Justice, but as far as fantasy/magic/action stuff goes, I really enjoy how UBW gets it to work. A simple story told many times before and will continue to be told, but at least in this instance, it's done in a way that greatly focuses on the idea itself, rather than the fluff around it. It's the same road traveled, but at a different pace, from a different approach, and with heavier steps. |

It really is kind of funny how unsafe that church is. Rather than a safe zone, it's been used as a battlefield and now a re-arming station haha. |
| Just watched the episode and honestly, it was one of the more enjoyable non-action packed ones, and was frankly way better than last week's. Here the conversations flowed more naturally, exposition about Shirou's ideals didn't seem like it came out of nowhere, the chemistry between Shirou and Rin was great in that it totally had that feel that I got the first time I read UBW; Jouji finally woke the fuck up from his half-assed performance in back episode 1 and gave us back the glorious creep that we all know and love. I mean, need I even say that Shinji's ass the whole Church scene was perfect from start to finish? Those facial expressions, man. Those motherfucking facial expressions; ShinjixIssei was even more hilarious than how I'd remember it from the VN. Matter of fact, I find myself laughing quite a few times throughout the episode, but I didn't really feel like any of the scenes we got were a waste of time. I also really, really liked how the last scene was handled and the way Shirou just withdrew from the conversation after Saber asked him that very tough question and left the table without a word: sometimes you don't need much to convey important information on a character. I liked it: it wasn't heavy-handed, and didn't seem out-of-place. Now let's see what we get next episode. |

I AM COMPLAINING AOBUT THE OTHER TWO that are NOT needed and the random "Shirou can't sleep" moment that was wasted. Ah, you'll have to forgive us since you keep generalizing all the eating scenes as unnecessary. After all, we should have known that comments such as CookingPriest said: Things that DO NOT help audience to like Shirou and only make them think he is dull: Eating. and CookingPriest said: I do not watch this to be "Tohsaka and Seiba: The Show" I watch this because it is "Tohsaka and Shirou: The Show" only apply to the eating scenes with Saber that you don't like, rather than the ones you do. So, taken correctly, your complaint is aimed at the earlier eating scene where the status of the students is fully resolved and the motivation to go by the Matou household is planted, as well as the scene showing where Saber sleeps and that Shirou is still not particularly comfortable with it, even though it was a compromise? |

| An even more boring episode than usual. The clothes thing gave me a cheap laugh though. |

| Slow episode, but that's to be expected; this part was slow for me in the visual novel as well. Everyone's laughing at how Shirou stripped Issei, but as a VN player, I can only think of THAT scene... you know, where in the visual novel, you were given the choice to either strip Issei or ask him directly, and if you had asked Issei directly... DUN DUN DUN! |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

It was the most obvious, direct, no-brainer question to ask Issei, so Rin shot it down immediately. It avoided the whole issue of "well why didn't Shirou just ask" and justified the stripping scene in one move. |

| Harem is not cutting it for viewership so they resort to obvious homolust to pander to fujoshi... 2/5 and I'm being generous here. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Yeah, maybe asking Issei directly wouldn't be of that much help, but for THAT to happen, it was just lazy writing if you ask me. |

Yes. The first scene is only needed if he actually went to shed to do you know what. Second scene is utterly pointless. Ah, ok. So then, the eating scene with Saber explaining how she intends to protect Shirou by sleeping closer is obviously pointless. It doesn't present a solution to the fact that Shirou was just kidnapped in the dead of night because Saber wasn't nearby. Further, showing where she sleeps and Shirou's discomfort with it is also pointless. After all, we should just leave it with a vague "nearby" and weird look from Shirou, which will just leave people wondering what that was about instead of showing them the current arrangements. Or maybe you'd rather Shirou just happily accept, so that people can rain even more "he's building his harem" arguments down on the show. The next eating scene, which shows that the students will be ok, that school will still happen, and plants the motivation to go to the Matou household is also pointless. There was nothing communicated there. I'm glad we can see how nothing at all happened and they were useless wastes of space with no value. |
