Nah, it's probably very boring, but we just have fun seeing our favorite characters on the big screen.

The episode would feel less empty in a marathon.


True a marathon probably would be better, heard i the 2nd cour all the good and interesting stuff happen,right?
I guess it would be more interesting, if you appreciated the build-up, because that's what the first cours is for, but if it bores you, it can't be helped. Interesting is subjective. If you only care for the fights, you might like the second half, but the conversations in-between might bore you.

Interesting stuff does indeed happen, but 2nd cour will also help you to understand why episodes like these are important.

Nope it just shows you care more about action and doesn't care/understand build-up..........

Different people, different taste but don't come complaining later if you missed the hints and foreshadowing in these "Boring" episodes. Until then you are not a hater.


ofc he only cares about action, because that's all the show does well (apart from animating my handsome face, that is).

Once again, fanboys on this site are marginalizing an opinion they don't agree with. It pisses me off.

With a marathon you'll feel the buildup episodes less so and get a large dose of everything in one, and may increase your enjoyment in the franchise. I'll be following this weekly myself.

I suggest reading fate route then since you can skip the prologue and the first day probably, and it is only about a 10 hour route after that depending on how fast you read. Then read UBW up to whereever the cliffhanger scene is, if you can stop yourself from reading more lol.

The thing is, i already know much about fate (shitty manga, some deen, ending, TM-wiki, Fanfiction, and by that i mean a lot of FF, etc..), And i am not really fond of Fate's Shirou, even if i know that that is probably due to poisoning.
That's why i am not really interested in Fate route right now imo, and i find reading UBW and HF much more appealing.
Even if you already got most of it apparently, you really should just give it a try, if you have enough time. You're still missing out on a lot of scenes. The route is pretty short, so you should be done with it very quickly.

It's like you saw the first LotR movie and then wish to start with the third and fourth book (second movie), because you think you already know everything about the first. Not everything was covered by DEEN, the manga and the wiki, the Tiger Dojos alone and the scenes that weren't adapted alone are worth it.

For starters I don't find Shirou, Rin or Saber interesting chars as far as characterization goes. The dialog isn't witty, it's pretty straightforward as far as I am concerned that is. Thus making the interactions boring to me. People seem to believe that if I don't enjoy them somehow I am stupid or don't pay attention or taht I only like action...

The dialogue in these episodes aren't superb alone, but they flesh out the theme of the story very well. It's hard to appreciate them as it is because everything hasn't fallen into place.

Think about it this way: would you want to take a break at this point in the story if you were playing the VN?







Edit: Also, please stop lumping "truth and fact" with criticisms guys. Some of you throw terms around incorrectly when you're ranting. Have a snickers.

, maybe they should make the fire scene look more hellish or something... I dunno.


Unfortunately showing people getting their throat scorched while they're trying to help others would be going against censorship of TV series. This is why it was the right decision to make Heaven's Feel into a movie(s) where they can show pretty much whatever they want.

I don't know what the deal with censorship is. I don't know about the details, but it's not like Elfen Lied had any issues with censorship for not being a movie. Nor was there a problem with Rider's head spinning around. In Snk, there's even people being eaten alive and losing their limbs. I find it hard to believe a fire with people dying and their voices pleading for help would be much worse (if any) than the things I mentioned.

Well in anime I generally am looking forward to character development a lot more than fights, so episodes like these are pretty good. Of course, it still was the most boring day of the anime so far so with that under consideration, they did a very good job with it.

The next episode should be amazing, however.

I can understand your concerns. Try to concentrate on the issue with the ideals, and look forward to Heaven's Feel with the best girl Sakura.

UBW is overall a rather mediocre experience, so try to concentrate on the important things.

Also, don't mind the swarm of people("priests") here defending every part of it, I can see where you're coming from.

If you're genuinely interested in Fate, then the visual novel will be what you're looking for since their characterizations are fleshed out very well. This adaptation doesn't do as good of a job as it could have in portraying the chemistry between them imo.

This could be true. The anime leaves some important things out. I guess you could like the characters more if you were reading the VN instead. It's quite a commitment, however, and not reasonable to expect for everyone.

Good episode, that mostly focused on Shirou and Rin. I laughed at his opening and closing the door when he saw Rin. Haha. Pretty good conversations with Rin and Archer, also.

I love the way Rin indirectly teases Shirou. She's such an amusing character. Them faces though. :3
Also, she looked really nice with her red and black as usual. Shirou really checked her out a good deal this episode. :9

Archer is so harsh; criticizing Shirou's ideal to no end. I still like him though, but damn!
Well, he did fix up Shirou's circuits so I guess that's alright. No, not really...

Good episode. Epic finale awaits next week!

Wasn't Terraformas supposed to be gory though? I didn't watch it, but that's what I heard/read at the beginning of the season.

I can understand that there are some things channels would rather not show, since not everyone has the stomach for gore. But that doesn't explain why they would be allowed to show a scene like Rider's death. While it could have been bloodier, it was still a disturbing scene anyway.

Thus far no, as far as my enjoyment goes and chars(as I remember). But I don't want to go too deep in that sort of discussion because there are already signs of aggressive fans. Although surprisingly most were really civil, so that was nice.

I didn't enjoy this episode as much as the others. One of the reasons why I enjoy Fate is because the show is able to maintain an appropriate sense of atmosphere throughout the series. There is always this underlying tension that helps you engage with the material, and wonder what to expect. Sometimes, brief comedic scenes will be thrown in to relieve that tension. But if the comedy sequences go too long, they start feeling out-of-place. If the writing for the comedy was just as solid as the writing for the rest of the show, this wouldn't be a problem to me, but it is in this case. Fate is a show that focuses on mood more than most shows, so changes in mood are more keenly felt.

Come now, clearly Fate/Zero was a much more intricately executed anime than this is - I'd think that was obvious. Even if Nasu was a supervisor, the parts of the show that gave it so such depth clearly wasn't from him.

Don't let these fanboys dissuade you from voicing a simple opinion. They're just insecure and can't accept that someone has a pov they don't share. In fact, you have an obligation to voice your dissent, otherwise these priests will just continue their echo chamber of groupthink and circle jerking.

Sure, elaborate in the general discussion thread please.

No, it wasn't part of the VN, it was created by another person. That should be obvious given how much better it is than this show so far.

For continuation from F/Z, Heaven's Feel is the way to go. UBW just has some of these things that you can focus on but I consider it to practically be a side story.

UBW standalone I'd rate as 7/10 or 7.5/10 and I can see your enjoyment being worse if you did watch F/Z before, and the reason is because you have such expectations and comparison point. If you had just started watching this with no expectations like that, your comparison would be perhaps your daily life instead and everything might seem awesome.

I have to agree with you there, HF is the clear and only real sequel to Fate/Zero. UBW really falls short and doesn't go into any of the complex and interesting themes raised in F/Z. Disappointment is the only word for this show :'(

FSN is retroactively following up Fate/Zero. None of the three routes manage to do it alone.

Still, UBW is great for the characters involved in the f/sn not f/z because f/sn came out before. F/sn wasn't designed to complement f/z it's the other way around. You can't expect UBW to be tied into f/z.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Yeah, yeah, I get that in a way each route is the sequel as a whole, but in terms of carrying over and continuing the themes from F/Z, HF stands head and shoulders over Fate or UBW.

It's no surprise that HF is also the best in terms of quality compared to Fate or UBW, since it delves into the these themes that made F/Z so great.

Its funny you say that, if people are complaining about UBWs SoL scenes things will be a lot worse for HF.
