Why do all the VN readers hate this adaption?

The second cour was fucking terrible.

Everyone was satsfied with it at the halfway point if you were on /a/ back then. Its the second half which everyone hates.

VN readers are dirty perverts who are just mad because they didnt get their sex scene

I liked it, and I can't really fault it because adapting the visual novel properly would crave immense amounts of internal monolouging so you can actually get the most out of all the characters, but it would destroy the pacing completely. Ultimately, any adaptation wont ever be able to do the VN proper justice, but regardless I thought it was good.

I thought it was pretty gay

- Dumbing down a complex and interesting world by not even bothering to cover deep and interesting lore and explanations behind why things happen(ex: Shirou's powers never being explained thus making them complete random asspull, the setting never being explained, difference between magic and magecraft is never explained, magic circuits never being even explained, etc)

- Ruining, changing or dumbing down the characterization of both main characters(Rin and Shirou). Most of Rin's inner conflict and flaws are never apparent. Most of Shirou's tactical thinking, philosophy and sociopathy is never apparent.

- Taking away the tactical aspect of the fights and turning them into asspully powerbrawls of shit exploding. The fact that the said "shit exploding" happens to have a shitshow of shitty lacking choreography that does not even come close to Fate/Zero's fights also does not help.

- Outright skipping Caster's backstory and motivations for sake of a filler episode about her master.

- Taking away most of the romance, by removing the dynamic bickering between the two and making Shirou far more passive and dense(instead of him having intentionally tease Rin). Literally all that this epic romance amounts to in the adaptation is them...shaking hands -__-

- Adding needless anime original scenes that serve no purpose while at the same time failing to adapt crucial monologues and exposition. That includes a completely pointless final episode that should have been an OVA and only serves to make it the main work even more generic harem than adaptation already did, wasting time that could have spent on Shirou's character.

- Awfully uneven pacing that drags pointless sol scenes out and rushes important scenes that should be intense, thrilling and atmospheric.

I think that about covers the main points.

I'm a VNfag and I didn't hate that adaptation. Character design was total shite, but I can live with it

I've read most of what he's written, the lore of his world has the depth of a puddle.

Basing all the heroic spirits on actual mythologies and legends means none of the lore surrounding them is his beyond the minor nasu-original stuff he adds to them. The Arthurian legend doesn't belong to Nasu, only the version where Arthur was actually a woman who was given a magic futa cock to sire Mordred is.

The majority of the original stuff he does create likely won't have any relevance outside of some of the FSN stuff because TM is set on milking Fate till the last drop. Just look through all the character material and so much of it is still just concept art if even that (half of the dead apostles don't even have that). If you actually try to read any of the background of what there is half of it is just ends up being powerlevel bullshit.

Stopped reading there.

Fate/stay night's intimate relationship with the legends it borrows is impressive, marking itself as a fascinating work of mythic revisionism. I honestly think Nasuverse lore is beyond your grasp.

>>135589313
>intimate relationship with the legends it borrows is impressive

you mean googling and looking up famous people and legend in wikipedia is impressive and difficult?

>>135587722
It's a faithful adaption in my opinion. The core issues come from the source's writing. It's just not that good to begin with, so without curving the dialogue so it's not so long-winded there's not a lot that van be done in that department.

That's why I watched for the action. UFO did a great job there and with any incarnation of this series outside of the VN, the battles are always the most gratifying part.

What I don't get are complaints like this >>135588409 . I mean, Shirou isn't an amazing character on paper to begin with, but somehow he gets singled out as being particularly bad in this adaption. There's a massive amount of fan bias that goes into it - nothing can be as good as the source material even if the adaption does pretty well with what it's given.

>>135587722
They just hate that it isn't a 1:1 adaptation, and they'd hate it either way really. If these people had read Fate/Zero they'd hate the anime too, but very few people read the LNs.

>>135589313
>intimate relationship with the legends it borrows is impressive
There is literally nothing that Nasu takes from it that couldn't be found on the wikipedia page.

The dude isn't some historian specializing in legends and mythologies. He's a doujin eroge scenario writer who happened to make it big writing porn games.

Everyone complains about Gilgamesh and Lancelot's backstories cut in the Zero anime, along with the shitty Kerry vs Kirei fight, how fucking new are you? Outside of a few hiccups it was a far greater adaptation

>>135589514
Wait, so you're otherwise okay with a world abundant in vampires, demons, nature spirits, magic, planet gods, time axes, the collective unconscious as an actual thing, and an extra-dimensional space where the spirits of all legends reside (all of which are abundant IN PRESENT DAY), but you're not okay with the idea of mythological or legendary figures being real in that world?

>>135589642
He majored in history and philosophy; if you weren't a secondary and had read a single interview (freely available over at Tsukikan) you would know this.

>>135589688
They complain about the backstories because they were told they are missing, and that fight is visibly bad. No one is complaining about Lancelot or Gilgamesh's characterization being changed. No one complains about Kirei and his relation to the grail being changed. I'm not complaining either, but there aren't complaints about unimportant shit because few people read the LN, whereas a lot of people read UBW and whine about every little unimportant detail they changed.

UfoUBW was over 10 hours of rhino noses, shitty CGI and crappy pacing.

Anyone can major in history anon, there is a difference between an actual historian and someone who majored in history. The fact that none the lore he shamelessly pulls from world mythologies goes any deeper than what a lay person could find by searching the internet leads me to believe his historical background had little relevance on his work.

>>135590074
The noses weren't that bad in motion and weren't Miura's fault. The CGI wasn't his fault either, and isn't shitty by any means, it's as good as TV anime CGI gets. The pacing was better than in the VN.

>>135590189
Now address all of these points >>135588231

If you can't grasp how deep and elegant is Nasu's marked take on the legends of old, remove yourself from this thread.

>>135587938
This.

>>135588231
pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I'm not even a fan of Fate in the slightest, but I enjoyed parts of UBW and HF in the VN. The anime just sucked completely and didn't have the few parts of the VN that made it enjoyable.

It's not about Fate being "deep" or "rich in lore" or whatever. People who read the VN will still call it shallow. The anime still completely lacked what the VN got me to think and consider about the characters and events.

>Taking away the tactical aspect of the fights and turning them into asspully powerbrawls of shit exploding.
This is especially an issue, because you hardly have a reason to care for most of the antagonists in either the VN or the anime, but the VN at least makes each fight feel more interesting. In the anime, it comes off as just showing off budget + monster of the week. In regards to people who watched Zero first: If people weren't familiar with Gilgamesh and Saber from Fate/Zero, there'd be even less people that would care about him. The UBW anime is certainly not compelling and interesting, and doesn't make the main cast enjoyable to follow and care about.

With the way that things get adapted to anime, with VN adaptations especially, making the show "interesting" seems to be the lowest priority of most studio projects.

>>135589804
>Wait, so you're otherwise okay with a world abundant in vampires, demons, nature spirits, magic, planet gods, time axes
Not really? Personally I dislike contemporary fantasy as a whole because the whole setting to me feels like a cop-out for authors who want to have magic and swords but don't want to deal with the rest of what comprises fantasy, like actual world building. The vanilla FSN game is longer than the entire LotR trilogy yet despite how often Fatefags will harp on about how great Nasu is at world building it doesn't even begin to compare in the sense it actually gives the reader about the world the characters live in.

The heroic spirits being actual legends is just the icing on the shit-cake. In addition to being a free rubric on how to write the lore for a good number of his characters it's not secret that Japan (and the target demographic for these games) has an obsession with these kind of legends. Even other videogames like RPGs will commonly choose to just name their weapons things like Excalibur or Balmung over trying to come up with original names even if the actual lore behind them is completely thrown out because they know players like that kind of thing.

>>135590649
One of the things Ufotable actually did a good job on.

>>135590248
>>135590248
Exposition is bad in anime. It would have fucked up the pacing and amounted to nothing, as it's magic after all, the explanations are based on the expanded universe.

Their characterization is inferior, but that's going to happen when you translate from being inside their heads to watching them on a screen. Rin's conflict is clearly apparent from the Prologue and Episode 13 alone, it's subtle yes, but it is there. Shirou is less tactical, but his philosophy is there, seen through the monologues and speeches when talking to Archer, and his sociopathy is seen when he talks about his ideals, and when he talks to Mitsuzuri and then to Rin outside the Einzbern Mansion.

The fights were flashier than in Zero, but they were just as tactical. In fact, the only fight with more tactics in Zero was Saber vs Lancer in episode 4.

(continued)

>>135590753

All the important points from Caster motivations that are in FSN, and not in FHA were expressed in her backstory. I don't know what you are talking about here.

The romance in the VN was just as shitty to be honest. The bickering was still there, we saw Shirou teasing her about her flab and there was plenty of teasing, him appearing dense is part of his character, this isn't any different from the VN.You could blame Nasu for making RN the official version.

Monologues and exposition have no place in anime, do you know the phrase show don't tell? Shirou didn't need episodes worth of monologues to get his character across, the fight with Archer was enough for that. The anime original scenes are just pointless because you know they are original, there are scenes that are even more pointless that aren't original.

The pacing problems come from the VN, but it was never as slow as the VN. They also didn't rush any part other than the scene with Archer in the church.

Why do you guys critizise it so much? You act like this is the shittiest anime ever, the "flaws" you list aren't as bas as you think they are, the adaptation does have flaws, but they aren't ones that'd make this a shitty adaptation, or bad or anything near that. No one seems to talk about the brilliantly executed Prologue, the Berserker fight, Gilgamesh vs Berserker, Illya's story, Episode 19 and 20, and Episode 24.

Dropped it in the first cour because Shirou was a lot more annoying in the anime than in the VN.

Oh is that so? Show me where they announced the director for HF movies.

>>135591252
Since you have read the VN already you should already know what he's thinking and therefor realize that he's not a brain dead retard.

Fate/Stay Night is a gateway eroge of the worst kind. It's a bad game, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive powerlevel faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the VN itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the Noble Phantasms, ridiculous, color-coded clothes, the whole Servant faggotry and everything about the Fate/Stay Night world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on the NATURE of HEROISM, and overall chuuni tone of the VN makes it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Fate/Stay Night is basically THE franchise to attract the most hated fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this franchise and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Fate/Stay Night threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

>>135591330
Flashbacks are part of the visual medium you retard. Internal monologues are awful when you aren't reading them. On top of that, the flashbacks were part of the VN. Your argument makes no sense, and all caps make you look like a 12 year old. Have you read the rules, let alone the VN?

>>135591422
Different narratives. In the context of the anime, his actions were grating. In the context of the VN, they were mostly understandable and you have your imagination to fill in any questionable gaps.

Shirou is a character who does not grow or develop.

People forget UBW is a fucking 48h VN while the anime has, what, 12h? It was fine for an adaptation. If you want something really terrible, try Tsukihime.

>>135591555
Wrong. Shirou's development is about a “beta male” confronting various toxic images of idealized alpha masculinity (Archer, Gilgamesh, and Kirei) and rejecting them to become comfortable with himself as he truly is.

Why do I have to read the VN just because I didn't appreciate its anime adaptation?

>>135591900
>Miura: For our part, we thought about making Unlimited Blade Works using one of the classic formulas, "the protagonist grows and matures and achieves catharsis." Speaking of which, from the early meeting stages, Mr. Nasu was telling us flat-out that Shirou was a character who doesn't grow or mature. Of course, that's Mr. Nasu's particular style of saying things, but, speaking for myself, that left a profound impression on me. To restate it in our terms, he was saying that Shirou is such an unwavering character that you think never grows or matures. That's proven to be a crucial stepping-off point as I draw the storyboards for this series. When we have meetings with Mr. Nasu like that, one or two pearls of wisdom that leave an impression sometimes come out of nowhere. Seeing how a creator's mind works up close was really stimulating.

>>135587722
Some of my criticisms:

Removal of Shirou's internal monologue, which obscures his mental state and makes it harder to pinpoint his motivations. Ufotable basically realized they fucked up on this part, which is why Shirou suddenly got a fuckload of internal narration in the second cour despite not having any in the first cour.

The fights are more style over substance. The VN goes into intricate detail about how the servants or Shirou counter each other with deliberate thoughts and actions. The biggest issue is in the Gil vs Shirou fight, where Shirou leaps around like superman and spams Rho Aias, essentially making UBW useless whereas in the VN it was pivotal to beating Gil and even then just barely.

Shirou's interactions with Rin are severely dumbed down. There's a lot less banter between the two and he comes across more like a generic MC around her, which hurts their dynamic and chemistry.

Other than that, it's a really good adaption. Easily 8/10.

>>135592305
>She is very important to the themes of UBW and a large part of the plot revolves around a conflict with her, but she isn't important
Huh?

>>135592372
Did you read te VN? Title means "stay the night", a big part of F/SN's final route is the subjectivity and cultural perception of good and evil.

>>135587722
>most of the people who read it hates UFO adaption of ubw
This is false. Most people like Ufo's UBW, regardless of whether they read the VN or not. It's just a loud minority of complainers.

>>135592203
Did you read what I posted? I said that Shirou is a character who does not grow or mature and that Nasu said so himself. I never made any claim that Nasu's statement was to be taken at face-value or could not be interpreted in any way other than literally, I only conveyed his words.

He spends the whole fight controlling swords. Hell, the anime does a much better job than the VN ever did of conveying the fact that in UBW, Shirou's swords are MUCH faster than Gil's.

>>135592606
the true zero sequel

I read the visual novel and I enjoyed it. I even think it improved upon some things from Unlimited Blade Works. Most memorable of all was that during the scene where Caster steals Saber by using Fujimura as bait, the setting is within some kind of reality marble-esque location, rather than merely Shirou's house.

And of course, it was amazing getting to see all of the Noble Phantasms come to life. The only weakness was that they cut out the sex scene in favour of that "sharing magical energy" shit.

Why the fuck do you disagreed with the guy saying you didn't get Shirou character then ?

>>135592728
Caster kidnapping Taiga in Shirou's house built on the previous day's scene where Rin and Shirou discussed bounded fields. Ufo fucked up by changing location to random crappy CGI water area.

>there are secondaries right now lying about reading the VN while saying that they wouldn't gratefully lap up Nasu's dickcheese and don't even passionately hate the hacks that butchered his masterpiece

>>135592465
>Huh?
Let me elaborate: consider all three routes. In Fate, she shows up for one scene, shows RB for all of three seconds (fifteen in a bad end), then dies to Gil. In HF she doesn't even get to speak, as I recall. In UBW the only thing of note that she does is breaking Saber and Archer's contracts and gloating. The important thing about her is RB, not Caster herself. Her backstory does nothing for her character.

It's really not that hard to understand if you've actually read the VN or watched the anime, although the last episode kinda fucked up. It's only in HF where Shirou chooses to protect his loved ones over becoming a hero so that's a different development all on its own. So Shirou is a character that does get developed.

>In regards to people who watched Zero first: If people weren't familiar with Gilgamesh and Saber from Fate/Zero, there'd be even less people that would care about him. The UBW anime is certainly not compelling and interesting, and doesn't make the main cast enjoyable to follow and care about.

As a Zero secondaries, I definitely agree about this. While I certainly do enjoy UBW, I feel that my appreciation of it would have been lesser if I haven't watched Zero first.

UBW itself couldn't have made care about the characters whatsoever. It's compelling enough in term of action and its visual presentation, which is why I believe this anime is so well received, but the main aspects of it such as the characters, their backstories, or the universe itself* should seem shallow even for animeonlies. (guess flashy explosions is all that matters)

*Refers to what >>135588231 said about Ufo not explaining things.

>Shirou's powers never being explained thus making them complete random asspull, the setting never being explained, difference between magic and magecraft is never explained, magic circuits never being even explained, etc)

The lack of a proper Fate route adaption should have been one more reason for Ufo to cover all the aspects of the Fate universe.

I'm glad I read Fate route afterwards because I would love to see an animeonly explaining things such as magic circuits, the mana or crest transfer, every sentence of Archer to/about Artoria without it.

>>135593378
The Fate universe has a decidedly sympathetic take on the character. This part of the myth is eliminated in the Type-Moon version -- by scrubbing that out, Fate emphasizes Medea's victimhood. She's a pure maiden who was “corrupted” into a witch by Jason.

Fate/stay night plays up the tension between Medea's tragic past and her horrible actions. Disgusted by her Master's actions, Medea eventually betrays him and is left to die with no mana source. She then meets her second master, Souichirou Kuzuki. They fall in love, and Medea resolves to win the Grail and start a new life with him. We're first introduced to her as a monstrous figure who endangers bystanders and tortures Saber, but in the end, we learn that her motives come from a place of pain, and that she's genuinely in love with Souichirou. Although she loses the war (ironically due to an act of betrayal), the narrative rewards her with time spend happily alongside a decent man.

>>135593536

I could add the HGW itself with the trone concept, Artoria keeping her memory, the counter force concept (more linked to KnK but still important), etc.

>>135588231
>difference between magic and magecraft is never explained
I actually liked it more this way, the distinction is only important to world-building autists because it serves practically no purpose in-story.

This is also a pretty big problem with the Nasuverse as a whole in that it tries systematizing and categorizing magic and the supernatural in general and in doing so renders it pointless and mundane - it's just another technique that can be relied on and that you can predict the results of.

Ancient myths are supposed to be weird as fuck, with no clear power levels or rankings and generally disjointed and disturbing, like e.g. the Norse gods tearing apart a frost giant's corpse and building the world with it. I feel like if Nasu and other people in TM played RuneQuest and HeroQuest instead of DND that they'd produce much weirder and much more interesting stuff. You can clearly tell that the people who worked on, for example, post-Daggerfall TES lore clearly had an interest in philology and that it paid off enormously.

>I really don't get why the OST gets praise on /a/

>The contributions of Mr. Hideyuki Fukasawa, who did the music, were large, even in terms of calories. For the first time in TV Anime history (I believe), he made 400 compositions for the entire score of the film while referencing the drawings. And he was even present for the dubbing. I requested music at the end of the provisional cuts (shooting the drawings, and setting the timings in order). The voice actors' voices are also added at this stage. But drawings keep being added afterwards, and the cutting process is repeated in accordance with those additions, until I finally have them do the FX. The music is written and recorded live in between that provisional cutting and the actual cutting, so when we alter a place where music was added, the music has to be adjusted once more. Fukasawa does that adjusting, and also handles orders for the the final adjustments during dubbing. That is how much he has done for us. I am grateful.
TL;DR: amazing technical quality, and not much competition for the repetitive and gimicky F/Z ost.

>>135594182
>>135594204
Sure, but the whole baggage of how the distinction between the two changes as humans advance their worldviews and knowledge of mage(craft) is not the only possible explanation and a fairly stupid and vague one in my opinion. A simple "Magic in Medea's time was fundamentally different" would alone have been enough and it wouldn't really matter how.

>He spends the whole fight controlling swords. Hell, the anime does a much better job than the VN ever did of conveying the fact that in UBW, Shirou's swords are MUCH faster than Gil's.

Wrong. Ufotable almost misunderstood the concept of UBW as its interest and importance were poorly shown during this fight. Shirou deflected most of the swords with Kanshou and Bakuya whereas UBW should have been the main and only viable option for him to win against the GoB. Surfing on Aias while doing Naruto shit is cool to see but that ruins the concept of UBW which of course negate the last bit of believability this fight had. (not surprising that the overall battle felt like an asspul for many)

Not to mention that Gil couldn't aim for some reason.

>>135594621
>wanting a boring ass fight where they both stand still throwing swords at each other until Shirou closes the gap and slices Gil's arm.

Normies do read VNs, or technically "play" them. I read my first VN when I was a teenager with an actual social life and little knowledge about anime. I first went in thinking of it as a videogame more than a CYOA book.

But enough of that, where's your counter argument?

>>135597245
About that. One of the few good points of Danganronpa the Rushjob Animation was that they used the game's OST most of the time IIRC (I hope you'll understand why after the TV airing, I have no desire to rewatch that)

I'm afraid they'll prolong them a là Archer vs Shirou. Some of them kinda deserve it though. And being movies instead of episodes, they'll be even more action packed.
Was it ever confirmed wheter we get a single movie or multiple?

>>135597360
Entry-level does not imply it's bad. I never said those VNs were bad BECAUSE they are entry-level. They are bad AND entry-level.

>>135597542
Yeah, I figured.

>>135597580
I don't think anything is confirmed so we should just assume that there'll be only one movie.

>>135597580
Nothing is confirmed, they aren't out of the concept stage.

>>135597580
Multiple movies. Pretty sure they said that if it was a single movie, it would have to be insanely long (like 8 hours), so they'll go for multiple because nobody can watch a movie for that long and it fucks up the schedules for cinemas

Well most translators are retards with big ego. For example look at KnK translation critique. If you ask commie about "hey I can complete Mahoyo translation alone" they 100% will say FUCK OFF IT'S OUR TRANSLATION, go makes your own from the begining. But meanwhile we have god tier guys like Overlord LN translators. 9 volumes translated. 9 fuckin volumes.

It's pretty good, but not as good as UBW's Prologue or even ep.24. Episode 20 was also a great "adaptation" but not in terms of faithfulness, it just got everything across without being full internal monologue.

I read the VN and most F/SN fans like to pretend that the story and lore is deep and groundbreaking when it really does nothing special in the first place. It's really mediocre at best.

>>135598558
Mcjon's Mahoyo translation is actually pretty good.

>>135592655
>Hell, the anime does a much better job than the VN ever did of conveying the fact that in UBW, Shirou's swords are MUCH faster than Gil's.
The anime actually did a poorer job at this. In the VN, Shirou was basically grabbing a new sword after each swing and his internal narration was about him swinging furiously just to keep Gil locked down. It highlighted that UBW is just *barely* faster than GoB that allowed Shirou to do what he did and even then, he needed the element of surprise. It really showcased just how smart Shirou was to use Gil's pride against him.

In the anime, Shirou spends a bit of the fight using his own swords to deflect Gil's, but then forgets about them and starts to just use K&B. Towards the end he only pulls out like 3 swords and instead relies heavily on Rho Aias to counter GoB. There was never a sense that UBW was the deciding factor in that fight.

I mean yeah, it was more cool to watch, but in the end it didn't really convey the same message as in the VN. ufotable seemed to realize this too, which is why they added that line for Gil at the end.

Not him, but again, he uses K&B only during the final leap with RA protection and outside of UBW for obvious reasons. Every other time he already has random swords in hand or picks them up from UBW.

Right, my bad.
Either way, he doesn't rely on UBW that much and largely uses each sword for a very long time. The only segment where I felt he actually utilized UBW, like at all, was during the end before he flew into the air.

I wish I could be, but the art doesn't look that good and it won't be the same with the different OST. If it ends up being amazing and makes people fall in love with it all over again, I'd be really happy regardless though.

>>135599079
In the VN it never even talked about what he was doing with UBW. It was assumed that there was some big GoB vs UBW battle going on above Shirou and Gil, but it only really talked about their little swordfight.

>>135599076
Not to sound like a complete bormie but the closest thing i've ever played to a VN is Katawa Shojo and even then I barely played it. I feel with Fate I crave more content as I intend to try playthrough both the Fate and UBW routes, watch the HF movies and then play through the HF route. Then maybe go onto HA, I 've been watching anime and reading manga for 2-3 years now and I finally gave into watching Fate after trying to piss my friend off bu not watching it.

>>135599149
>In the VN it never even talked about what he was doing with UBW.
As I stated, he was pulling swords from UBW constantly, a fact that the anime chooses to ignore. I believe the clashing of the flying swords was only implied, what with the CG at the beginning of the fight (it's arguable either way).

So is the anime just not good enough on its own to justify not sitting through some 50 hours of the source material it's adapted from?

>>135599360
Obviously not, it only adapts 1/3 of the VN and does so poorly.

>>135599253
Well they toned down the physical swordfight in the anime and had him flipping around deflecting stuff instead, although they did show him picking a lot of swords out of the ground throughout the whole segment. I guess they just didn't feel the need to explain how the swords he was grabbing were the same ones that he was deflecting.

>>135599360
No. None of the adaptions so far have really been acceptable replacements for the VN. At best, they're complementary.

What I would do is finish UBW in the VN, then watch the epilogue of the anime for better closure.

>>135599432
Jack wanted to delete some paragraphs that he felt made Seibah look less pure before releasing the 100% patch, but this brave soul opposed his rule of faggotry and released the unadulterated patch on his own.

>>135599518
Well, they were the same swords though, if you pay attention.

>>135599558
Seibafags are the worst.

>>135599518
He didn't really grab that many swords at all throughout the fun. In fact, there was only one segment where I felt like he needed UBW to grab the swords - everywhere else he could've just projected it normally and still have time to deflect. This isn't even mentioning they kind of forgot about using UBW as an automatic counter to GoB's sword spam like 1/4 way through the fight and just went
>Fuck it, use Rho Aias instead

Like I said, it doesn't convey the same message as in the VN at all.

>>135599597
No, just Jackthecuckfaggot and the other assorted purityfags that back him up.

The unedited scripts for the translation were available, but not put into a patch yet. The team wanted to fully edit the thing before releasing a patch. That guy made his own patch using the unedited scripts and posted it to the forums. Jack got super butthurt because that patch, being the first one released, would likely be the one most people used, instead of the edited version he was going to release.

If you enjoyed the anime and want more, you read the VN to see that the anime is shit and you're a dumb fucker for having enjoyed it in the first place. If you disliked the anime, you should read the VN to see how the anime should have been and then you can join the rest of those who have been to the mountain top in calling the anime shit with your esoteric knowledge of Nasu's prose to validate your objectively correct opinions.

They're deliberately emulating Takeuchi's style. He can't draw noses, so now they won't draw noses. I have no idea who gave the thumbs up on that idea, I mean it's a well known fact that Takeuchi is a terrible artist, and he probably isn't drawing noses simply because he's literally incapable of doing so, but they still thought the way to go was to emulate Takeuchi's artistic shortcomings.
