Archer and Lancer delivered the best fight yet again. All that

It was like 2 minutes long and boring

More nonsensical fight choreography yet again.

>>124921935
>boring

By this point, that word has completely lost meaning.

Rushed fight, rushed episode. Fucking Ufo.

>>124921984
It didnt excite me
It simply happened. "wooo sparks and colors meh whatever"
Only good part of the episode was caster´s sad death

>>124921740
Oh boy I cant wait for this thread to be full of nothing but nonsensical complaining instead of well deserved praise

Why is everything that isn't the 3 knight classes + Berserker suck complete ass in terms of magical powers?

>>124922076
>how dare people not share my opinion!

Dont come to /a/ for a circlejerk

>>124922076

Seconded, these plebs who only knows to react "rushed episodes" blah blah blah who don't even how to appreciate at least the effort the animation studio made on delivering to us this kind of god-tier quality.

>>124921968

Implying you understand jack shit about fighting or coreography.

As a fan of the VN, it's been really cool to see a lot of these scenes animated with Ufotable's seemingly unlimited budget (works). I always avoided the previous adaptions because everyone seemed against them. Or at least, the original TV airing. Can't wait to see things as they ramp up even further.

>>124922159
Choreography seems to be the popular word to throw around without giving any further explanation when criticizing a fight scene these days.

Rewatch the episode and pay attention to how long they are actually fighting
They jump at each other with sparks all around them for literally 20 seconds then gae bolg and shield
And its over

ITs extremely short and pathetic

>>124922157
When lancer threw his spear this episode I nearly creamed my pants. I don't really get why people complain about the animation or the pacing, I actually think it feels like its a lot slower than the original source especially since they add all these extra scenes like with the maids, caster's summoner, and with souichirou but I really have no complaints about any of that

>talked more than they fought

I really hate this meme why can't a fight just be fight rather than a boring ass debate

>>124922488
It would just be swinging shapes for a while, no matter how good the animation is, two characters just flailing at each other with no changes in between would just get repetitive

I don't remember it exploding in the VN. I don't remember if it was stated in the VN or some data book later, but if layers of Rho are destroyed, it causes physical damage to it's user, and that's why Archer was all fucked up.

>his NP requires great accuracy
>therefore the best solution is to take the hit
Genius

>>124921740

Nah, Saber Vs Heracles, Saber Vs Deermund, and Gil Vs Lancelot are still better.
Kirei Vs Kiritsu should have been there as well, but the UFO fucked it up.

Depends how you animate it, you can do it in a slower motion and have internal dialoges and everything, but kids these days like the jedi fights full of sparks.
And the time constraints of the episode dont help either I guess.

>>124922661
>wanting internal monologues in a fight

>>124922120
You say as if people shitting on every popular anime to get hster cred on a fucking anonymous board isn't a cirlejerk.

>>124922661
Slower motion would be what Kirei and Kiritsugu's fight is. Servants fight on super speed, so slowing it down would make the fight feel slow and not as powerful.

>>124922568
>It doesnt get repetitive in the VN and there it goes for a long ass time

Yes, it did, they talked even more than they did on TV and Nasu's habit of extending the battles like they're bands of rubber to get as big a pop as possible in the end can be pretty tedious.

>>124922435
>kuro vs altSeibah
That fight was shit, anon.
All the shitty camera-swinging tried too hard to create a sense of motion and instead wound up creating a sense of the cameraman being totally fucking piss-drunk.

>>124922594
>you can do it in a slower motion

I'm glad you aren't a director.

>>124922435
The animation in that fight isn't even half as good.

Boring shit.

>>124922184
You actually need to watch the Deen movie at least to appreciate this adaptation that is while not perfect is damn good.

>>124921740
I like how Gae Bolg Thrown was just Cu throwing a spear.

It's supposed to be a damn carpet bomb, ufo.

>>124922792
What the hell are you on about?

>>124921740
I loved it and the episode as a whole. I hope they deliver big on Archer vs Shirou. And that don't change the rape scene but just imply it or show Rin struggling.

A fight is better when it thrives of emotional tension instead of flash and camera-swinging.

If we can take ANY lesson from the clusterfuck of failure and AIDS that was the Star Wars prequels, it's that.

>>124922661

>but kids these days like the jedi fights full of sparks.

It's how it's described in CM3. It's supposed to be undodgeable because the number of thorns makes it so even the most agile person couldn't escape.

The only thing the fight could have used is another ten or fifteen seconds of Archer being overwhelmed by Lancer's speed but barely surviving.

>>124923021
>>124923324
That's when it strikes the target. Gae Bolg was off screen when it shattered the last petal and struck Archer, so we didn't see the splitting.
Rather, the splitting was the hugefuck nuke when Aias shattered.

Gae Bolg – Spear of Striking Death Flight
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-army Noble Phantasm
Range: 5-40
Maximum targets: 50 persons

The largest and most powerful attack delivered using Gae Bolg. The “attack that unleashes countless darts at the enemy” which legends speak of is Gae Bolg – Striking Death Flight. After accelerating through an approach run, Cú Chulainn takes to the skies and activates Striking Death Flight by hurling it towards the ground with all his might.

Different from Gae Bolg – Piercing Death Thorn, Striking Death Flight does not carry the property or concept of “always pierces the opponent’s heart”, but compared to Piercing Death Thorn, both power and area of effect are increased (intense consumption of Magic Energy). It is a technique that attacks the enemies together with the surrounding area, in a carpet bombing fashion. Even resilient bulwark or agile body are not immune to the power of Striking Death Flight; Gae Bolg will send the enemy horde flying. In legend, the demonic spear is said to split into 30 and pour down over the enemy, but it seems the number has increased after Cú Chulainn became a Heroic Spirit. During the battle with Emiya, Emiya spoke of Striking Death Flight “exceeding the original, Gungnir – Declaration of the Great God”.

>>124921740
This show is utterly boring and poorly directed. I felt more tension reading the first few lines of the VN (didn't finish it yet) than in the entirety of the show and I really loved Fate/Zero. Why did they let Kara no Kyoukai 6 man do this? WHY?

Stop lying, Tension-kun

Sort of losing my patience to be honest. I keep waiting for something awesome to happen, and when it finally does it feels super brief and interspaced between a boatload of exposition and or taunting.

>>124923923

It was literally the exact same thing in Fate/Zero.

>>124923860
Any person who didn't just watch 10 anime in their lifetime would recognize that UBW's presentation is fucking boring. The source material and the prequel are great, but this just isn't.

>>124921740
Kekkai Sensen looks so much better than this shit. I wonder why you guys like this piece of shit.

>>124923923

>>124924031
Rin vs Caster was kind of lame but picked up at the end. I was surprised though - in the opening sequence we see Caster fighting Lancer.

And also that Archer took him out so easily considering teacher guy smacked saber around last season.

>>124924029

You can't compare them you fucking retard, they are two completely different styles, and I'm saying this as someone who loves both.

>>124924069

Caster was dead and Kuzuki had no buffs.
Notice he did the hand clenching motion but his hand distinctly did not glow pink this time around.

>>124924052
Did anybody say they want 25 minutes of action? People just want something interesting to happen and not this piece of boring ass shit about people talking like they know anything about psychology.

>>124924069
Kuzuki was boosted by Caster and had element of surprise when he fought Saber

>>124924052
This. Maybe /a/utism wants them to yell out their attack moves for every swing.

>>124924069
>And also that Archer took him out so easily considering teacher guy smacked saber around last season.

There was literally a cut showing Caster's magical enhancement disappearing from Kuzuki's fists.

>>124924029

Looks like someone's lost, please guide him to the right thread.

>>124924147 >>124924173
I see, I see. I was convinced that he let Archer kill him as he wanted to be with Caster.

>>124924069
In the Saber fight Kuzuki's physical abilities were enhanced by Caster. As soon as Caster died, Kuzuki was just your ordinary Martial Artist and no real match for Archer (they briefly show how the magic disappears around his fists). He also didn't have the element of surprise that he did against Saber.

Caster really did get shafted it seems. Horribly so.

>>124924495

>>124924504
No, instead they were fucking nothing at all. Fate/Zero fights were absolute shit until the very last day. Caster's fight wasn't even mildly interesting; if you want to talk about fights lacking tension, how about the gigantic space monster that killed nobody and accomplished nothing?

>>124924666
>Plus, the writing was better too.

Can you explain how?

>>124924666
The designs are better but not by much. The writing is even worse.

>>124921740
Ufo is showing off how much money they are making out of this.
Personally the scene was way too exaggerated. I don't think there was supposed to be explosions, or Archer's clothes disintegrating. Ufotable is definitely making UBW way more chuuni than it already is.
Kekkai Sensen has better fights, to be honest. Seraph my take that title soon though.

>>124924572
No need to get mad, having two (siamese twins) heroes who can use the Delusion Marble "Unlimited Cringeworthy Post" is pretty entertaining.
Wait, are you Tension-kun from the future buy chance?

>>124924690
You should ignore him, He's trolling, only few Fatefags are that stupid.

>>124924722
The episode was most likely made before the blu ray sales. That scene was made by a really skilled action animator. That's all there is to it.

>Personally the scene was way too exaggerated. I don't think there was supposed to be explosions

UBW is undeniably the best eye candy this season has to offer.

>>124924789

Why is that completly different from what the VN says?

>>124924941
It feels so awkward and unnatural when they switch between SoL and the HGW, they just don't have enough time to do it right. Season 1 did that somewhat better, but Season 2 is a failure and it doesn't even look that good. Hibike Euphonium and even Fate/Zero looked better.

>>124923700
Fate/Zero's screenplay was bad most of the time. Only some episode directors made their respective episodes decent enough in that point.

>>124924966
Abe did Gae Bolg. Kunihiro probably did the Lancer vs Archer parts before the spear throw.

>>124924986
Hey I'm perfectly fine with valid points, but saying that "Archer's clothes shouldn't have been torn off" while in the VN his arm is just hanging on a thread is just stupid.

No, Fate/Zero looked better, especially in terms of directing. Only thing that wasn't as good, was the amount of details in the actual animation, but the rest starting from the character models to the backgrounds and visual diversity was superior in Fate/Zero.

Saber seemed to have no issues with announcing her challenge after flying off the cliff, by shouting Rider's name, and right after that it seems before they even clashed she realized something was wrong and sort of hesitated. Yet when she lands on the ground, knowing that Irisviel is not at the scene, she doesn't seem to actually talk to Rider or try to clear anything up.

Instead the scene breaks off, and when we return, both sides are already ready to fight it out without saying anything to each other at all. This leads me to wonder if there is a scene missing where Saber tries to reason with Rider, but he wants to defeat her so badly he won't let her leave even though she knows they're not involved. If there is such a scene, it would also explain why after failing to kill both Rider and Waver with the attack, she chooses to leave instead of attacking them further. But right now as it is, it just seems kinda odd and poorly set up.

>>124925483
No they are not, UBW is far more solid in that and has an obvious bigger budget. The problem in UBW is the characters designed by Tabata (like Rin) that look a bit off in profile shots.

She made a split second decision to stand and fight even though she knew she had been mislead.

>The truth was still unclear, but now an intense premonition rushed forth into Saber’s heart that she had been tricked. That feeling made her restless. While Saber had been pursuit Rider, the culprit that had set Rider up might be fleeing with Irisviel even now.
>She could not stay here any longer. She needed to return to Shinto as quickly as possible to search for Irisviel.
>And yet—though this judgment was entirely accurate, Saber did not move. There was a tense aura about her body, like the rising wind that heralds a coming storm; no useless action was allowed. She gazed upon the danger before her eyes, taking her stance and preparing to go all out at any time.
>About a hundred meters away, Rider’s chariot also slowed to a stop. And it had reversed the direction that it was facing, too. All this time, it had moved straight forward to let Saber trail in its dust, but now it actually turned around; the eyes of the two divine bulls, as well as their master the King of Conquerors, were filled with a feeling of the joy of battle; he looked upon Saber with a captivating gaze.
>There was no need to guess. Rider’s intentions were very obvious—he intended to fight.
>From his eyes could not be seen the slightest shadow of deception or scheming; he had truly been set up. The fires of rage burned in the eyes of the King of Conquerors as if demonstrating his might and saying ‘No matter how you may stab me, I will return it in equal measure’.
>If Rider had moved east because he had the intention to challenge Saber, then his situation was different from that of Saber who had been led into a trap; he was in no way opposed to the current situation.
>Precisely because of this, if she were to ignore the problem of Rider and return to Fuyuki City, this would mean that she would be victim to Rider’s attack from behind while she was completely unprepared.

I felt like the animation didn't do Rin's fight justice. When I read the VN, I got the feeling that Caster was very serious and was having a pretty big shoot out with Rin (though still one sided because of the jewel limitations). This felt less like Rin was managing to match Caster's stronger spells and more like she was blocking some pity potshots which is probably why her gem magic seems disappointing to some.

Nasu plots are too convenient. Well, so are most plots. Most of his characters (such as Gil) are one-sided and aren't really believable. Shirou is an exception. On Kara no Kyoukai, he fleshes out more characters. On Fate/Zero, Kirei and Kiritsugu are also very well developed, as are most of its characters actually. I've been thinking that F/SN should be rewritten by Urobochi Gen since I've finished the novel.

His mission wasn't to kill Archer, but to allow Rin and Shiro to kill Caster.
Lancer realized Archers true plans which was to kill Caster.

>>124926296
He realized Archer's strategy all along was to fuck over Caster like this, as soon as she wasn't watching.

>>124926296
Because he promised Rin to not killing him. And once he saw what Archer plan was about, he let him go to do it. Lancer just want to fight, he does not care about the Grail.

What Lancer didn't expected is to Archer bretay Rin again. Later they find him and say it to him and he gets really pissed about it (and offers his help again).

>>124926413
I mean use Caster to break his ties with Rin then kill Caster.

>>124926296
Are you retarded?

First, Rin tells Lancer to not kill him (she wants to recover Saber and Archer, and scold Archer)

Second, Lancer realises at the end of the fight that Archer was actually going to betray Caster

>>124926415
Lancer is such a bro.

Fun factoid: The director of Fate/Zero has not actually played Fate/stay night.

Food for thought.

>>124926446
Because you're a secondary

>>124926453
Obviously, but secondary babbies won't understand this.

>>124926489
Ei is shit. Just watch Aldnoah.

>>124926351
That's how most adaptations work.

>>124926502
What will they understand? What if I tell them that Enkidu is as strong as Gil or that Karna is stronger than Diarmuid & Cu?

・A lot of discussion was had over the idea of wanting F/Z to "be that anime series you look forward to every week"

・Reason F/Z is released in a BD box: It's a show they want you to watch all at once, not volume by volume (why two boxes then lol)
Impossible to include all the extras [52 page pamphlet, bonus footage, and other great stuff] at the typical price of individual volumes

・Where F/Z is in production
The scenario is complete | continuity has made it to around ep 20
Production is moving along as planned and is doing well

・No plans for a Fate/stay night anime remake

・Progress is slowly but surely being made on Girls' Work

Zero was a lot more entertaining than UBW.
The only thing UBW really has going for it is it's fucking enormous budget.

>>124926157
But there are a lot of real people that have been through worst and didn't act retarded like Shirou.

>>124926489
So?

>>124926524
It's still decently directed. But KnK 1 and F/Z are great overall.

>>124926574
>Progress is slowly but surely being made on Girls' Work
Yeah sure.

>>124926572
Gae Bolg > Kavancha & Kundala

>>124926574
>Girls' Work
>ever happening

>>124926600
And there are a lot of real people that have been through less and act more retarded than Shirou, smartass.

>>124926600
What the fuck, how many people do you think live through a firebombing exactly? While hearing the burning screams and miserable pleading of their friends, family, and entire city district?
That is not even close to a common occurrence in real life.

>>124926600
If you're going to play that card then you might as well add that there's a lot of real people that have been through a lot less and act more retarded than Shirou.

>>124925913
Well, Matsumoto is basically a god so there's nothing really to talk about.
Not to mention other animators like Yamashita, Honda, Hashimoto that worked in Naruto which are all better than anyone Ufotable has.

Ufotable is the one that should take notes. Can't they at least make the fight as interesting as this?

>>124926600
People react differently to the same situation all the time.
Though I still fucking hate Shirou.
>>124926675
Makes me think of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

>>124926604
To adapt a prequel that is so heavily tied to the original (to the point that it was written to tie perfectly with it) without reading the original says a lot. Hell Urobuchi doesn't want the Fate/Zero LN being released in english if Fate/stay night is not realeased it first.

Also, the F/Z episodes directed by Ei are probably the blandest ones in terms of direction.

Ryougi a best.

It didn't seem like Lancer was able to strike a hundred times in a blink of an eye in this adaption.

That is literally the only good animated fight in that entire season.

The anime entirely cut out the part of why Archer was able to dodge Cu's attacks despite him no longer holding back anything.

People think at first "Well surely he's still holding back, I mean he promised Rin..." if they had read the text Cu directly states that once the battle started he didn't care about the promise anymore, or it was secondary compared to the fun of battle, he was going all out, yet something was odd as Archer was still able to dodge him despite being far inferior.

Right here in this cap, flat out states he wasn't holding back because of the promise for those people that are like "Well clearly the promise...", then if that logic doesn't work they go "Well that scene probably took place first" which isn't right. It's like how people miss the VN had an entire explanation on how Archer can't perceive Cu's attacks, but due to Mind's Eye he can read the flow and dodge even if he can't grasp it anymore, in conjunction with leaving openings on himself so that he knows where to dodge. This confused Cu who was like "If you were this skilled, there's no way you would have problems with Caster. Why would you even defect?".

Lot of that was half off-topic from my original point since I have to cover the bases on a lot of it so it won't become the exact same argument.

I don't know how they should have done it, but the fight probably should have gone on a bit longer.

Trauma is unique to the individual, and what Shirou went through is far, far worse than what 99.9% of humans will experience in their lifetime. And he experienced it at 8 years old.

Fixed.

Well, he actually did it in the anime too, it was just faster.

>>124926765
Normally I hate shit like this, but the camera flipping the fuck out was masterfully done in that fight.
