Can't wait to rewatch it in higher quality. I wonder if they cut anything from this week's episode.

Well I dont like people putting words in my mouth and others' just because they are buthurt.
I think most of the VN readers established last week that don't feel the same way as he does and are too annoyed by his constant ranting, so you don't have anything to worry about there.....Pretty sure most of the anime-only's feel the same way too

I love you Botato, but that's not better than a Tokyo Ghoul fanboy saying that you should read the manga because the anime was shit.
Except this is entirely different?

Tokyo Ghoul anime is an adaptation of the manga from start to finish.

UBW anime is adaptation of UBW route which is the middle of F/SN. Basically you are missing the beginning right now.

I like how everyone jumps on Fai who just stated his opinion. And then Fake calls him out for doing something he didn't do (while Fake himself is doing what he accuses Fai of doing) and no one says anything.

this adaptation absolutely cant stand wthout source material.
And with source material the flaws become apparent.

Nothing.

TBH had they done a good job in this part of story you would have felt m ore as it does a good job explaining stuff about her in canon vn.

Here they flubbed the feels hard.
Even in the VN no one would give a shit if they didn't like the character from before, specifically from Fate route. Someone reading UBW will not give two shits about Illya or Berserker.

This scene is better on re-read actually, because of HF stuff.


Incorrect actually.

Anime does pOOORER job at establishing hte hopelessness of situation and what Illya feels and what is going on. Also the way they handled Shirou's scene at the end takes away a lot.

So while you wo uld not give a shit without fate in vn too that much. You WOULD give more shit than here.

Fight was disappointing.

Flashback and Illya were... eh, okay-ish, but not particulary good. Wolves tearing apart Illya and her screaming in pain was just a no, no for me. Berserker ''suddenly'' coming back to save Illya was done rather poorly.

Shirou just got wrecked by a sword the moment he yelled instead of him running down the stairs to the point where it seemed like it killed him, once again successfully making Shirou look like a huge dumbass.

Shinji scene was nice. Still got sad over Illya somewhat. The special Illya ED is just text, but meh, I suppose the change in tone for the song was somewhat nice.

Over-all, I was extremely disappointed by this episode.

tokyo ghoul is bad adaptation of the manga.
This is a bad adaptation of one VN route.

SO i'd say this being a bad adaptation makes it WORSE. Because italready cant stand on its own nd without most of the good thngs about this route from VN, it cant stand on its own even more

Your forced to play through the story 3 times finding out new things with focus on different characters where the story changes drastically each time.

This is the 2nd playthough. All the Illya stuff happened in the 1st.

3 different "routes". You play through one storyline. Then when you finish, you restart the game and make a certain "choice", in this case, the branching point is Shirou using his command seal to stop Saber from finishing Archer, who would be critically wounded otherwise, which would completely change the whole story, ala butterfly effect.

"him" refers to the guy who reposts on EVERY SINGLE live reaction video in a tone that can only be considered "indoctrination". Claiming that his views are objective and then going back to claim that "no one has the right to critisize his argument, because it would be an ad-hominem".

Uhm yes and no. F/SN is 3 stories that complement each other. They are 3 different timelines, however in the original VN you are supposed to go through Fate before you start UBW, as such UBW assumes you know stuff from Fate.

Basically UBW is Fate's sequel, but it's also the same story in a way.

Dunno really. I'd assume it was censored. Screen blacks out for a moment and the next thing we see is Illya with a wound over her eyes. I'm kind of fairly certain the black out thing is gonna be removed in the BD version and you'll just get Gil cutting her eyes.

That was really great. Near perfect adaptation, way better than last week's. the expanded flashback was awesome (except for Zero flashback stuff), and the focus of the camera when Gil slashes/stabs her was very well executed, keeps the impact without having to censor stuff.

LOL at people bitching about "no explanation for Winter Forest". I'll have to wait for the subs, but I'm pretty sure she said something about a "test" and "getting back to the castle". And as expected, they did NOT make Shirou look like an idiot at all. His desperate expression and muffled screams reflected his inner state pretty well, and so much for the shitstorm about "Rin pulls out a gem to save Ilya, and then looks angrily at Shirou". This is why you don't judge a series based on translations of a prescreening of its first 3 episodes >_>

Oh, and I LOVE this version of the ED, very Kara no Kyoukai-ish. 5/5 episode.

Edit: Shiiit, you guys just made realize there was no Die Lorelei :( Oh well, tbh the fact that I still felt all emotional is proof enough that they didn't need it (for me).

Except they did?

The tackle was unnecessary and the too-late STOP scream made him look like a complete idiot.

In VN it felt like he is genuinely trying to save her disregarding himself.
Her it felt like a heroic fit.

Maybe. Felt more like a directing decision than censoring to me. It's normal to cut away like that and just show the aftermath.

Perhaps you were lagging? I think it cuts back up to Shirou and Rin before cutting to Illya again.

lELWUT? iT JUST LOOKS LIKE BASED RIN SAVING IDIOT GINGER. What visual storytelling lol?


The death scene had absolutely no impact or build up.
Most of atmosphere and tension is missing in this adaptation.
If not for VN I would have felt jack shit here.

I am not surprised most of neogaf hated the prescreening.

The whole episode felt like someone reading a script. VIsual directing had absolutely no clues or impact.
When fucking GUnslinger stratos did a
better today, you know this adaptation failed.
