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

Well, I sure know that H/F's slice of life scenes were the only ones I truly enjoyed mostly because Sakura's my favorite girl and because
so I cannot objectively argue against that due to having inherent bias.

Hmm. It's possible. Re-reading the entire thing helps.

For starters I don't find Shirou, Rin or Saber interesting chars as far as characterization goes.


Are you an HxH fan? Most of the characters that people find interesting in characterization didn't get really interesting until the end of their arcs. Gon started getting interesting later in chimera and Meruem about mid to mid-end of the arc.

You said you liked Fate Zero but the big main characters didn't get interesting until the second cour.

Yeah. That's why you should just concentrate on other things during the "preparation" routes.

The next episode should be better, at least judging by that episode preview.

I remember being really shocked that humans can be absorbed for mana when watching the deenanime after f/z. That never comes up in f/z. I am looking forward to seeing fate/zero again now that I've finished the visual novel though.

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 :'(
There are many things that one can critique F/sn for when comparing it to Zero but its thematic depth isn't one of them. UBW in particular goes far more in depth with its dive into idealism than Zero does.

The pace is very slow. Saber does look like a secondary character so far. Hopefully we ll get more explanations soon, there are quite a few events/dialogues that don't make any sense.

I prefer the other version/route even though this one is better animated. I havent seen the VN btw.

She's a secondary character, it's Rin's route after all. Well, that's wrong. She's still a main character but just her role isn't nearly as large due to obvious reasons.

The next episode is where it should become slightly better.

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.

i will consider it, but i still but UBW and HF are, as i said, more important.

now, let me return to Kara no Kyoukai,
which apparently, i started with the wrong movie (2nd), since someone told me to watch in chronological order and not release order, but after some research it seems i should have started with movie 1 first.

Actually, Fate is the most important route. In turns of expo, and intros. You won't get the VN at all if you didn't have Fate route. And you wouldn't get Shirou's character either. You wouldn't see how he grew in UBW no HF. You won't know what rules are broken in the next two routes, e.t.c

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.

Fate Shirou in the VN is still annoying but better than in Deenpoisoned stuffs. What I'd do, is skim through most of the Fate part of the VN while slowing down for some interesting-seeming explanation scenes and such... But if you already know the outline of what's going to happen, it's going to be a complete pain to read through it and I know I wouldn't be able to. But you should at least skim through it.

Who the F*CK told you to watch it in chronological order, cause if i see him i will tear him apart ! i mean is movie 1 movie 2 etc... are not enough obvious ?!

Like every other people telling to watch Fate in Bullcrap chronological order...

lol they should wait for the HF movie to come then try to watch the two series simultaneously day by day in parralelle timeline and it will true crhonoligally watching...

It is tho. Like what CP said, you need Fate to see Shirou's growth in UBW. You need Fate to see the 180 in HF. HF is not needed to understand Fate, UBW is not needed to understand Fate. It's the only route that can act as a standalone. See, some Fate stuff has been incorporated into UBW because there's no Fate route to tell the new viewers. The other routes won't work AT ALL without Fate. It's like how the VN wouldn't work without Rin.
