OneTrueEmiya said: Figured as much lolTokoya said: Is this a joke? I'd say it is, but it's Fai. So no, it isn't. Comparing this to the trainwreck that is anime AgK... -_-" Oh well, I'll just sit back and watch from now on as I wait for the subs |
astroprogs said: TBH i don't really have a problem with Caster's backstory, how it was done, or even how pointless it is in the big picture. It just makes me remember Miura's "We added new scenes because there wasn't enough content" and "Nasu gave us a lot of information, but it was so confusing". Still, i can't fault the actual content of this episode for it, because it was done well IMO. THe padding filler was needlessly grimdark and served absolutely no purpose in terms of neither plot nor characters and did a piss poor job at making us care about the caster. The fact that it took place INSTEAD of canon material is even more disgusting. |

I am so tired of idiots downplaying legitimate criticism with "Oh you so salty". If you don't have what to say, don't say anything. Oh, there are plenty of problems, I don't think anyone's denying it. But you're constantly shoving this in our faces, and it's getting tiring. Some people just want to enjoy this and feel nostalgic again. And don't get me started on your hyperbolic comparisons. DEEN? AgK? Calm down ffs. This is basically my feelings for the last 2 months articulated rather well into a paragraph. Thank you |

CookingPriest said: CarenPriest said: The anime's pretty awesome IMO, but the salt...it interferes with the enjoyment... Please do explain what is so awesome about this adaptation and how it can stand on its own. I am so tired of idiots downplaying legitimate criticism with "Oh you so salty". If you don't have what to say, don't say anything. We're not downplaying your criticism by calling you salty, Fai. We note your criticisms and move on, but then you just keep hanging around shoving the same complaints in our faces - like you can't imagine anyone enjoying the show after they hear your points. We could just argue with you all day, but everyone knows it won't solve anything, so we just move on and call you salty for only dwelling on the problems. |

| [quote=WormPriest] CookingPriest said: I gotcha.....That's why I don't get into arguments over here anymore lolEh, Fai does take this a bit over-board, I agree. He's kind of missing the enjoyable factor it has and is more so focusing on the feedback it gets. That's kind of how you start acting like if you go around defending the series - like Fai does - because of things people misunderstand and hate on it. |
CookingPriest said: CarenPriest said: The anime's pretty awesome IMO, but the salt...it interferes with the enjoyment... Please do explain what is so awesome about this adaptation and how it can stand on its own. I am so tired of idiots downplaying legitimate criticism with "Oh you so salty". If you don't have what to say, don't say anything. it's not about whether the criticism is legitimate or not, Fai. It's about how much complaints there are right now, thrown about everywhere, interfering with the hype of people who do still enjoy it. I could try and explain to you why the UBW anime's still awesome, but from past experience over the past six or so months I've known you, I doubt it'd change your mind. You're free to express your own opinion and I'm free to express my own too, that much is true. Still, it's bothersome when all we hear from you (and others from time to time) is how this adaptation's getting worse and worse and worse, and how you express your pessimistic opinion with such frequency that you're pretty much famous for it now. Again, it's not about whether the opinion is legitimate or not. It's about the discouraging attitude you keep on displaying in every thread, and how you'll appear in tons of F/SN threads to criticize others' positive opinions. Being pushy, being cynical towards everyone else, and now you've just called the ones who try to point out that behaviour as 'idiots' - there is very much reason to raise our voice about this, I believe. Seriously, dude...if you don't like it anymore, then at least stop commenting so much. |

The BD. I wonder what will they add, though. I thought what they had in this episode was enough. |
Grey-Zone said: Those are people on the level who put "People die when they are killed that's how it should be." Out of context and made a meme out of it. It does not matter whether ufo shows it correctly or not, most of them lack the brain capacities to comprehend it. Their "opinions" are not something can warrants attention and even less they are anything to measure the quality of the adaption on. Now, this I can fully agree on. A lot of these people take stuff out of context and act pretty childishly dumb about it because they can't grasp the situation presented to them. I mean, we get a few stupid shitposts about the VN, too. |

This is basically my feelings for the last 2 months articulated rather well into a paragraph. Thank you I couldn't take it anymore. He's making this adaptation seem worse than it is, and he's ruining my nostalgic mood. YES IT'S NOT PERFECT OR ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THAT. SHIROU IS UNDERDEVELOPED. THERE IS FANSERVICE. CAN WE ENJOY THE FUCKING ADAPTATION NOW? Now that that's out of my system, I'd comment on how great the change in tone was between Shinji Servant scene (which is comedic, dear salts) and Gil slaughter scene. It was a good contrast and set up how big a douche Gil is. |

HungryPriest said: I'd agree, but this late in the game? There are a lot of places they could have visualized better his character. We wouldn't need an entire ep for him then. Especially since it's all about his development, it would also fit the story better. *shrug* Ya, Mirua really should have just let 5 mins every other episode with Shirou just reflecting on things and seeing his perspective on some things because we've mainly only see what's going on the outside with him, but we need to see what's going on in the inside as well. However, that never happened. So a whole episode dedicated to him is the only thing I can think of that can really explain his character ion better detail..... |
Grapekiwi said: is this the operation gil ep? No, it's the "how to turn 2 homunculi back into the natural state they were in before twisted scientific magical experiments turned them into killer machines" The doctor is the good guy here, right? |

The only thing I'm worried about are all the snobs on review sites and elsewhere that will dismiss the message of morality in this show as being "pointless yapping about nothing". We've already seen it whenever Archer, Shirou, Caster, or anyone talked about the purpose behind killing or saving someone - people would bitch about how pretentious the show is, then demand they go back to hacking and slashing. |

I'm waiting for the subs ATM, but i think it made it clear to the viewers how Caster isn't as bad as they first though, giving more weight to a certain upcoming scene. "The fact that it took place INSTEAD of canon material is even more disgusting." Using an exaggerated description like 'disgusting' aside, i agree. Miura is wasting runtime on relatively inconsequential scenes. |
 Now this is what I like. :j |

Its like a double-edge sword to be honest.UFO's animation is attracting a lot of newcomers but at the same time,its sort of drawing the attention of those two-faced individuals who revel in shiting on popular franchise and whose attention span,as I have said before really is non-existent.... |
