I already pointed out how he altered Shirou being proactive with RIn scnees in first cour. This is the same. Your "already pointed" cancels one feature in personality of Shirou: he is very dense. |

| Btw a VN track played at the start. It was Sorrow |
 |
| The roll, I'll say this again, looked cool. |

Nope i am annoyed at the person who thought of changing this scene be it Miura or Nasu. Since this was indeed a badass scene. I know it. It's that all error is of Miura for some viewers. |

astroprogs said: Are you people actively looking for mistakes now? The fall is REALISTIC. No matter how athletic or agile you are, normal people will slip and fall flat on their faces trying to get to the ones they love most before they get slaughtered. Explain it for Fai, Astro. Before that some new viewers believe him. |

If he was not made into buttmonkey for whole 12 episodes, sure. Now it looks naruto. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: Grey-Zone said: Except from the outside, Shirou has been always like that, even in the VN. No not really............the anime goes out it's way to make that 10X more bad. That's not how a character is supposed to be portrayed.......several VN/LN/Manga adaptations suffer because of this same shitty mistake. "out it's way"? The instances that happened that I can personally remember where: 1. Ryuudou temple ... wait that's it... |

Journey_95 said: Caliburn220 said: Throughout the adaptation Shirou has been made out to be a typical shounen screaming rash idiot, and the roll only exemplifies that. If he had been portrayed properly the roll would be acceptable. apart from the missing monologues he really isn't that different in this adaption And you just can't have too much of them in anime this isn't a freaking book Every single scene where he is with rin was changed. his behavior is unclear in temple and VERY unclear in prologue There's no indication of him being calculating. All his pro-active dominant Shirou/Rin moments and trolling are gone. Taiganapping blame is pinned onto him. SUURE. |

Do you are saying that Shirou not have nothing in VN for hating him? I can really to like Shirou, but I'm not a fanboy for to think all act and action him amazing or badass and that in some moments he not is very idiot (even that while reader I understand). |

The roll is stupid because of Shirou's bad characterization in the first cour. |

Not so much, but okay his behavior is unclear in temple and VERY unclear in prologue your opinion There's no indication of him being calculating. I see it just once or twice in VN routes All his pro-active dominant Shirou/Rin moments and trolling are gone. he is very dense even in VN Taiganapping blame is pinned onto him. your opinion SUURE. |
| I am Hatedmainofanime. More no one. |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: Along with getting manhandled by Rin on some occasions. Along with being shown to be totally dense on a few occasions. You are correct, I was solely refering to the "screaming aspect". The points you mention each only have one valid scene too though, which totals to... 3 |

| Counter Guardian is "Protectors" in the aniplex subs... |

Caliburn220 said: "Moments" don't exist in a vacuum. The roll is stupid because of Shirou's bad characterization in the first cour. It really isn't. His characterization in the 1st cour has nothing to do with the animation of this fall. It makes perfect sense in it. CookingPriest said: Even taiganapping situation would not be taken the way it was taken if his characterization to that point was correct. Not necessarily. If they added some of the monologues, or even just fixed the strings, the scene would've come out perfectly. It seems you guys want Shirou to act more like a shounen protagonist, which is ironic as hell lol. |

nocorras said: Counter Guardian is "Protectors" in the aniplex subs... Actually sometimes they use the term "Guardian" rather than "Counter-Guardian" so I can see why they'd mistranslate as "Protectors". |
survivor_hero said: nocorras said: For the 5000000th time no one wants a walking monologue machine. Really? I don't know why people keep using the same strawman, it has been refuted numerous times. |
|
| Also the subs talk about him being betrayed by his ideals and cleaning up messes. He learned it's futile pretty quickly. |

Along with getting manhandled by Rin on some occasions. Along with being shown to be totally dense on a few occasions. Hey "Show not tell" can be done the other way too but someone choose not to do it. Seriously a few minutes wasted on monologues for the MC could have avoided all this but we have a certain someone to thank for that. I can only hope it's Nasu since Miura is totally not at fault. But whoever did that original scene of Shirou and Ayaka talk gets my praise. survivor_hero said: I can really to like Shirou, but I'm not a fanboy for to think all act and action him amazing or badass and that in some moments he not is very idiot (even that while reader I understand). Yes keep the idiot but present it like it is rather than making the idiot part prominent. He has been shown to be calculative and have good intuitions not to mention changing his "Moments of awesomeness"................why get change those and make the character look just idiotic on occasions. But Shirou is a character in development in all the senses, right? Like someone is developed if only have badass and cool scenes? |
| I am Hatedmainofanime. More no one. |
| The interviews even mentioned that Shirou's development is INTENTIONALLY (i.e. Nasu wanted it) stretched out. It therefore makes quite a lot of sense that he is less developed in the anime compared to the VN. We will only get the whole picture once the anime ends. Can people please stop the bickering until then? |
|
| Seeing how they're treating Shirou this time around, I't's obvious they sticking to the "coming of age" concept, which can only mean good news for Shirou's characterization in the future episodes. Edit: Ninja'd by Grey-Zone :D Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: Didn't you remember 1 before.........? Also not only 1, look again. I was only talking about the "screaming" aspect in that post. And yes, I am pretty sure that there were only 1 instance of each complain, maybe some may have had 2 instances that I could have overlooked. Still It's not as apocalyptic as some make it out to be, also again THE INTERVIEW. |

nocorras said: survivor_hero said: Really? I don't know why people keep using the same strawman, it has been refuted numerous times. I know that was refuted many times. It's just that - 10 pages (being kind here) in various threads discussing about it. - To say that 2 lines of monologues or dialogues (and many others statements this genre) in episodes would do this adaptation of a 6~7~8/10 for a 9/10. Not much help. |

astroprogs said: Seeing how they're treating Shirou this time around, I't's obvious they sticking to the "coming of age" concept, which can only mean good news for Shirou's characterization in the future episodes. Problem is. It really is not "coming of age story". Shirou is adult in teen's body. He just needs to figure out WHAT to do with what he knows and what he believes. He does not begin as imbecile and develop into someone. He starts as someone is challenged by obstacles and then readjusts himself. Again. BACKSTORY=/= Characterization. Learning his backstory and depth won't fix him stumbling around like a fool Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

| People here sure love eroge. |
| Oh wow, lol, Shirou, you're such a smooth talker, blurting out casually that he love her. Dat's ma boi. It's mana time! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) A lot happened in that episode. I somehow didn't remembered that it was so fast paced in the VN, but it was indeed. There is still a lot material to adapt. I'm staying HYPED! :D The fight was pretty cool, though short. I mean, that was to be expected, since Archer was planning to betray her. No need to make the fight last long. Shirou was pretty badass when he came to save her. I just love seeing him spawn swords out of nowhere. We now know what is Caster real identity. You might want to search for more information OR they will probably explain it later on (at least, I hope). Well, it's not much of a spoiler, since it's mostly related to history and doesn't have much impact on the story. But I'd suggest to just wait. I really prefer the new OP to the first one. I think it just give more of a FS/N vibe. You know what, I'm continuing my episodic albums, whether you like it or not! :D So here's the episode album : http://imgur.com/a/Vjy1o And here's the Rin album of this episode : http://imgur.com/a/B4rRx |

And him stumbling around and fucking up sounds more like being a dense idiot than "maturing". And that is not the Shirou I like and certainly not Shirou/Rin I hold as my top favorite pairing. |

| I like the episode after seeing the subs. Archer states that he wants to be on the winning side. Rin thanks Shirou for saving her. |

I remember he said that he's talentless and broken, but i don't remember him saying the "Shirou never maturing" part. 9) Miura sees this anime as Shirou's coming-of-age story. Also, from Nasu, Miura got the impression that Shirou is such an unwavering character that you think he never grows or matures. ^implying he has to mature or grow up. |
