What the fuck happened /a/? It feels like Apocrypha anime is just a throwaway Fate to advertise FGO.
How much Extra anime will sell at this rate?

Prisma Illya only sells 7k and is practically its own franchise now.

>>162102641
Extra will sell a tons, I'm almost sure of that, Apo was already dead even before it started.
>>
>>162102641
The problem is that Apocrap anime is an obvious pandering, so the quasi-intellectuals TM fans (80% of them) can no longer pretend that it possess any depth.

What a world.
>>
At least Ufotable didn't sully their name by adapting Apocrypha.
>>
>>162102641
Last Encore will perform far better than Apocrypha. It wont approach Zero and UBW levels, but it'll sit comfortably third.

I know that video game sales don't translate to anime sales, but the Extra Musuo sold a quarter of a million copies just in Japan alone. If only 10% of those Extra fans buy the BD's it'll be a huge success.
>>
I think Extra will do better. People like Nero / Tama and the story is pretty fun.
>>
>>162103400
Apo wishes it can reach Prisma, 46 episodes and a movie, backed by lots of merch.

So, which studio will they get to animate Fate/hollow Ataraxia?

Shame they've completely ran out of material to animate. We were on the Shiroboat too long. There's only 10 chapters of material. They're going to have to cruise on merchandise sales from the movie for a while. No way to strike whilst the iron's hot.

You pedophiles are really really overestimating its popularity. Illya alarm clock apk didn't even make it to 2k. It's just a few dedicated pedos who like Prisma and bought tons of merch.
>>
Apocrypha is fucking shit anyway. One of the worst iterations of Fate that was only good for its waifubaiting and husbandobaiting --- which then again is the entire point of the franchise.
>>
>>162103616
Prisma is completely different to other Fateshit tho and Prisma have an ongoing manga, 46 episodes of anime, 1 movie, and sold a fuckton of merchs.

If it is a proper Extra adaptation, then it has the chance to do well. Redman, Kotomine, Taiga, Sakura, Rin, Cu, Shiki, Arcueid and Shinji all make appearances.

If they throw in some of the Extella cast then we'd have Iskander, Artoria, Gil and Medusa to boost interest too. Aside from Kerry, Shiro and Ilya, pretty much every popular character is in EXTRA somehow.

I want Narita to finish F/SF so that we get an anime adaptation that blows Zero out of the water. Something written by Baccano/Durarara! author is bound to have a lot of normie support, and Gil and Waver being there will attract even more people.

Going into last encore, will I need much knowledge of other Fate/Extra stuff? I've played a couple of hours of Fate/Extra with Caster and plan to finish that eventually, is there anything else I should do before going into the anime when it airs?

>>162105419
It's an adaptation, so you'll need none of it is my bet. Finish Extra anyway because a lot of stuff is guaranteed to not make it into Last Encore.
>>
>>162105419
We don't know anything about Last Encore except that it's by SHAFT and features Nero and Hakuno (with small appearance by Hakunon.)

If Red Saber didn't appeal to you when you played Extra, then you might not care for Last Encore. Seems like Nero's show.

It was also like $12 baseline, and $20 with all DLC, when most mobile apps are between 99c and $1.99. The app itself was also poorly made, its pretty laggy and when the alarm ring it lags your phone.

F/sn uses the HGW as a backdrop for the characters and themes, which nasu excels at. All the other fate spinoff are just DUDE SERVANTS FIGHTING LMAO, which is fun but not as memorable. There's a reason why /a/ has had fate threads like every day for the past 10 years.

Fate/Stay Night is different from the later spin offs of the concept because the everything in the story had a *purpose.*

The point of bringing in mythological heroes was to ask the question "What makes a Hero?" and tie it to Shirou's own character arc.

Even the magic in the story exists to advance the theme. It's not just there to look cool (though it *does*) but each character's magic abilities is also a reflection of their character and personality.

2ch reactions to UfoUBW translated :

>Miura wasn't the guy for it. Now, if Sudou delivers a proper HF adaptation, I will rage to no fucking end.

>Fucking Miura hinted how Shirould could feel Archer's presence in ep3 and never used it again. The fucker forgot that Shirou found Rin in ep12 because he felt Archer.

>MIUUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH

>I'm rewatching the UBW movie just because and I love how they added key lines for the viewer to understand better the plot. It makes me appreciate it even more now. UBW anime failed in this, Miura failed because he is a hack. If HF turns out to be a better product, I'll be mad as fuck. Fortunately Miura got kicked out HF directing. The guy is a hack.

>Nasu saying he didn't want UBW and F/Z to be treated as part of the same story because they are not, then Miura saying he wants it to be a Zero follow-up.

>Nasu wanted to add new scenes and change stuff, but Miura handled it badly and it felt disjointed. The HF manga is a great example of adding new stuff that makes sense to add.

>The problem was in general that they tried to please both sides and came out wrong. They should have gone with Nasu's idea of a Fate route over UBW but Miura is a stubborn bull and wanted his Rin pandering. They had a bad call about the chosen route, HF would have been better too, but it was stuck for now after they tried that incoherent and inconsistent UBW mess.

>The booklet has Nasu version of some pivotal episodes and is far better than what Miura came up about at the end. It's kind of a shame really.

>Look at HF manga. It simply adapts a route and it's done a fucking good job so far so nobody complains. It's also self contained.
>>
>>162103116
It's okay. Prisma is for Type-Moonfags, who are also fatefags, who are also Illyafags, who are also lolicons, who are also mahou shoujofags, who are also yurifags. The franchise is very niche but has a dedicate fanbase.
Apo, on the other hand, is for the same audience as UBW.

Again, the original plan was to adapt the Fate route. Go back to the original announcement trailer and there are many hints that was the Fate route. Then Miura (the director) sperged out and begged the higher ups/Nasu to skip straight to UBW.

It wasn't really Miura's fault but Ufotable's. All the episodes Miura directed while not treating the audience like they're stupid, drove the point home through movement. Ufotable scheduled the directings wrong. Maybe they were trying to save money but Miura should have directed more episodes.

Especially in the second season when what should have been UBW's production budget went into some literally who adaptation of a game. Said production didn't even succeed without massive delays. Just imagine how much more fleshed out the Answer arc and Epilogue could have been with the proper budget.

Every week, anons would translate the 2ch reactions. The fandom backlash in the threads were something else entirely. You had to really be there for it back in 2014-2015.

Unless you have an interview that confirms this, this claim is nothing more than baseless speculation.

>Especially in the second season when what should have been UBW's production budget went into some literally who adaptation of a game.
Anime budgeting does not work this way, different projects have their own group of investors and especially in the case of UBW and GE where the former was led by Aniplex and the latter Bandai Namco. The more restrained animation in UBW's second half was due to the schedule getting tighter, Ufo had most of their team on the project right up till the end. If anything, GE was shafted due to unfortunately being scheduled for airing right after a very taxing project.

>the fandom backlash in the threads were something else entirely. You had to really be there for it back in 2014-2015.
Now that's some massive bullshit, I followed the threads back then.

UBW was popular and got a lot of haters. It always happens.
I personally think that the staff did a splendid job. The production was almost fine though sometimes animation was slightly unrefined. But still the show was way above an average show that is not from KyoAni.
That "Answer arc" was a complete mess in the VN too so you really should blame Nasu.
>>
>>162108565
FSN [UBW] threads were full of cancerous and entitled whiners who protested over the smallest chances and never actually discussed, they just kept bringing meta bitching about muh secondaries and muh flawless VN with barely any actual discussion of the episode. Gabriella Ekens, the same person that called the UBW anime a "misshapen adaptive chimera" that only fans of the "Mooniverse" would enjoy. CookingPriest aka Fai, as some people might know his former username. Just ignore him. He is really upset, to put it mildly, about lots of changes and that the BD box didn’t have as many extended scenes as he hoped.

Avoid the MAL forums (and the ANN and maybe even Neogaf ones, too) at all costs. They (and with that I mean him in MAL’s case) are so full of negativity and salt, it’s unbelievable.

Hope Chapman gets a “meh” from me. I don’t know if you were present, when her “VN experience” consisted of a friend streaming Fate on twitch, skipping and skimming large amounts of text and then tearing apart lines which can be interpreted as sexist, but that made me lose my respect for her regarding FSN related material. Her rambling on twitter also struck me as utterly immature . Of course she can’t remember Rin or Shirou were like that in the first episodes if she never even read the VN correctly, so any comparisons (and praising ufotable for “fixing” Shirou and Rin) were just beyond dumb.

She was partially censoring the forums, when she threatened with warnings and bans those, who criticized Gabriella Ekens’ attacks on how misogynist Nasu’s writing is in the first episode reviews, even if it was sometimes completely unwarranted or had nothing to do with the actual episode at all. Besides, there was the general bashing of the source material, as if ufotable had to completely fix everything about FSN. “Reading” Fate is not nearly enough to completely review and compare the anime with the entire VN.

Kohaku's route was something he wrote in a week after something a beta-tester said to him. Nrvnqsr comes and goes and has nothing to do with anything. Satsuki's death doesn't leave as much of an impact as it should considering what it was supposed to be. The story=exposition ratio is way too stilted. Don't get me wrong, all of Nasu's stories have ludicrous amounts of exposition, but the problem is over half the things that come outta, say, Ciel's mouth are just pure exposition. Furthermore, a lot of the shit that happens feels too abrupt. Roa's base was in the school the whole time and no one knew about it? No one noticed anything strange? And it's pretty inconsistent at times too, like some things are way too convenient.

At the very least, Fate/stay night and even the Fate/EXTRAs feel more complete and well-rounded than Tsukihime did. There's just this very large sense of imbalance throughout Tsukihime.

TYPE-MOON gave the first route out for free for Android and iOS, you know? It’s kind of like they want to apologize to the Fate fans and at the same time give everyone watching the anime the opportunity to catch up. I mean, FZ-only people should be massively disappointed with Saber’s role in UBW route.

There were a lot of infodumps that they cut. For instance, there was right at the beginning an explanation about the difference between majutsu (magecraft) and mahou (True Magic). The rest was mostly about the Grail War and its rules though, but they probably cut it, since Shirou will hear it from Rin and Kirei anyway.

Nasu specifically told ufotable when they decided to adapt UBW “Hey guys, this isn’t Saber’s route, so I just want her to look cute and act like a motherly/guardian-like character”, so that was the reason why I accepted that she wouldn’t get any development. Any reactions or interactions with Shirou and Archer, where her wish and story is referenced and foreshadowed, in the novel, even if there were few, were cut out in the first half.

Then in the second half, they decided in the last three/four episodes to add original scenes to characterize her. It doesn’t feel right to me, it should have happened sooner.

Reminder that Nasu is such a hack that the entire plot of his most famous work revolves entirely around Saber randomly deciding not to enter the church at the start.

There's a reason Nasu stated that Shirou as a character doesn't actually grow. He doesn't change nor does he learn, he simply comes to terms with things he already knows. Every "big reveal" he does about his own character is about things he is aware of already, but tries not to think about.

I'm not sure if it's just dumbass Zero kiddies or what, but anybody who thinks Kiritsugu is the most mature of the two completely missed the point of both characters. Shirou begins, right from the get-go fully aware of the impossibility of his ideal. The screenshot is from early Fate route. He's not just aware of the difficulty, he's aware of the inherent contradiction: a world where everyone is saved is, for the most part, logically impossible. Even with near omnipotent powers, you cannot preserve both the attacker and the victim just as they are, because success for one side implies failure for the other.

Kiritsugu was seriously going for the Grail to attain a perfect world. He lied to himself into not accepting the idiotic contradiction and thought such a thing could really exist. It's such a dumb idea that Rin points it out offhand to both Archer and Shirou early on, and neither does anything other than casually nod because it's not news to them either. Kiritsugu's obsessive with pragmatism to the point of needless cruelty was his idiotic overcompensation for the fact that he never managed to get rid of his childish nature or fully accept reality. He actually, up to the end, thought his dream was something that could exist in reality if he just got his hands on a big enough power.

Shirou never cared for any of that. He understood the contradiction right from the beginning. The worst Kiritsugu says here were something he only accepted at the very end of his life, but Shirou grasps them perfectly from the start. There's no naivety in Shirou.

Yes, but only so late in the plot that the stakes had changed and Saber wouldn't just go "wait a second, I know that guy, he fucked everything up in the last grail war".

>You can notice how Nasu's writing improved in CCC.

Kinoko Nasu: With anime, I think power balance that is shown objectively is ideal. This is just the image that the creator has in his head, but the ideal Shirou as a character study is a guy who doesn't crack one smile through the whole show. But in contrast, to get players to enjoy themselves during the long game, I had to pull off comedy bits as well. I personally couldn't think of what to do about that contradiction in this anime adaption. So even as I explained to the staff that Shirou was a character who didn't smile, I was resigned to the fact that it would be difficult in anime, which reflects more of general public. Anyway, when I saw the finished product, lines that perfectly captured what I wasn't able to put into words were integrated into this human being named Shirou. What they made was so ideal it made me flinch. (laughs)

Kinoko Nasu: When I reread that old material, I thought, "Ah, I'm looking the users straight in the eye. Look at how frankly I'm laying out what I want to say through this story," and I got this weird feeling of, "So that's the sort of person Old Me was". It's embarrassing, but it's like I'm admitting defeat, that it's something that Current-day Me can't do. That said, shoving your main theme down the audience's throat is bad in terms of anime structure. After all, it's entertainment. It's transmission that's going out to hundreds of thousands of people with different dispositions and tastes, so I want to start by gradually tuning them in to my wavelength and getting them to enjoy this anime. So I think the ideal outcome would be that they'll stick with us on this slow burner, or "long single story," and the theme will ultimately get across. Game and anime are different in that respect, too.

Not really. The only time it came up was when she was seeing Shirou's memories.

>>162107953
>F/sn uses the HGW as a backdrop for the characters and themes, which nasu excels at. All the other fate spinoff are just DUDE SERVANTS FIGHTING LMAO, which is fun but not as memorable.
Completely agree, I'm a big fan of the original F/SN VN but I can't really care about the rest of the Fate franchise since the only common elements in other entries are the Grail War and the whole idea of servants, which were not the reason why I loved the VN so much. I played CCC and even GO since people kept talking about how some of the later areas were really good, but they're only good if you're the kind of autist who unironically engages in Type Moon power level faggotry threads and is into Fate for the stat sheets and historical trivia.

Kirei didn't even do anything outrageous (by the HGW standards) during Zero, he fought in the war like every other mage. There's no reason for Saber to do anything besides being wary of him.

There's some wind now.
The vivid setting sun is lighting the bridge red.
"Oh."
Saber notices something and stops.
She is watching a mountain of rubble.

It's not that tall even though it's a 'mountain' of rubble.
Steel frames and the likes are piled right up to the water surface and are slightly distorting the flow of the river.
I don't know why, but it seems like a ship sank or something, and pieces of it flowed into a mountain.
I heard the local residents have been demanding its removal for a long time since it damages the beautiful sight.

"…? What's wrong, Saber? Did that catch your attention?"
"No, I was noticing that it still remains because I was the cause of it. I used the Noble Phantasm here, having fought on water in the previous war.
The only damage was that the river dried up, but I also destroyed the ship that was unfortunately anchored there."

"Huh? You mean Excalibur!?"
"Please do not worry as Kiritsugu said the owner had insurance. He parked the ship there as a buffer, so he used the ship as a wall to reduce the power of the Noble Phantasm."
"…Oh. So you destroyed the ship knowing it was there?"
"I did not know! Kiritsugu prepared it without telling me.
…I think Kiritsugu knew how the battle would turn out. I did not notice since he never said anything before or after he prepared the ship."
>>

It wouldn't be so bad if the fights were actually interesting to look at. Unfortunately, you'd need a good budget and lots of time to pull that off.

After hearing the name "Einzbern," Saber gives me a hard look.
>"Saber? Do you also know the name Einzbern?"
>"…Yes, I do. Let me ask you instead. Do you not know of that name?"
>"Well, I've only heard of it. An unrelated guy asked me how the Einzbern girl was doing before I even met her."
>"……I see. Then you have not heard anything."
Saber closes her eyes and ponders.
>"…This must be fate. You should go to the church if you would like to know about the Einzbern family. That priest should be able to answer your questions and guide you to the path you must take."
>"The church…? You mean the church we went to yesterday? But he told us we shouldn't go back there unless I want to revoke my Command Spell."
>"He must have said that for expediency's sake. That rule is only part of the face he puts up for his association. It has no power if you are not part of their association."
>"You're right. But I still want to avoid that place… And I don't think I should go see that priest too much."
Saber hesitates. After frowning, she lifts up her face as if to shake off her hesitation.
>"He took part in the last Holy Grail War. I do not know which Servant he had, but Kiritsugu always took him seriously. Emiya Kiritsugu was a Master in the last Holy Grail War. He cooperated all the way through to the final fight. During the war, Emiya Kiritsugu saw the priest as his greatest enemy. He believed the priest was the only one who could defeat us. But I am sure the priest did not tell you because you did not ask him. He is a man who will answer you if you ask. He will tell you the truth if you inquire him about it."

>"On that day when the town was in flames, the Holy Grail was destroyed. By the Master who betrayed me, Emiya Kiritsugu."
>"Emiya… Kiritsugu…?"
>"Yes. He was my Master ten years ago in the previous Holy Grail War. I won to the end, and the Holy Grail came into Kiritsugu's hands. Archer and his Master still remained, so the Holy Grail War should have been ended by their defeat."
>"But Kiritsugu threw the Holy Grail away. As a result, the town went into flames. …That man ordered me to destroy the Holy Grail because Servants are the only ones that can touch the Holy Grail. Kiritsugu used his last Command Spell to force me to destroy the Holy Grail."
>"Shirou. As you have seen my past in your dreams, I also saw your past. …I was surprised by your past, but I could not believe how much Kiritsugu had changed. Emiya Kiritsugu is a great person in your memories. But he is not like that in my memories."
>"…To state it simply, he was a typical magus. He was only interested in his objectives and he eliminated everything in his way. I could not see any human emotion in him. He only spoke to me three times during the whole war. …I do not think I need to tell you when he spoke to me."
>"He was not cruel nor a born killer. But he did not have anything that you would call emotion. Just as he treated me only as a tool, he treated himself only as an object."
>I do not know what he believed in to make him do so, but he ordered me to destroy the Holy Grail when it was in front of him. To be honest… I have never cursed the Command Spell or a Master who has betrayed me, more than I did at that time."
>"…I do not know. Kiritsugu summoned me in a legitimate way. As Kiritsugu's aptitude as a Master was high, he was hired by a magus family with a long history and entered the Holy Grail War. I heard that everything he needed to become a Master was provided by that family."

Kiritsugu makes a better protagonist though because his hamartia makes the series resonate with the viewers.

A more mature/well-rounded MC doesn't make the series better; in fact, I'd argue it makes it worse. It's Kiritsugu's missing the point that makes the series so well-liked.

It's meant to be a tragedy revolving around the fact that Kiritsugu can't see his own flaws. If Kiritsugu was a more mature character, Zero would be all the worse for it.

Fuyuki was much shorter than Orleans and Septem and that still felt rused with an hour and a half movie.

Sure you could do 6 episodes per singularity and get an hour and 45 that way, but you'd be galloping through the adaptation by that point. You sure as hell wouldn't leave yourself time for any of the interludes, which are sometimes the best parts of each sigularity.

Zero was a much better adaptation, mostly because it's much easier to adapt the LN than the VN route. I can't judge UBW in a void since it's hard for me to ignore my disappointment due to how it fails to properly adapt the source material. Someone who hasn't read either of the originals but has watched both anime would probably be in a better position to judge which one was better by itself.

Stop it. It was adapted incredibly well. I've read the UBW route at least three times and I'm more than satisfied with the way it was treated in the anime. It's fine if you prefer the VN to the anime, I can see why, but the anime took every internal monologue and turned it visual.

The FGO thing is doing well because the universe is well thought out has lots of history (if not chuuni and kind of stupid what with sex changing every character in history) and has a lot of potential for DONUT STEEL characters.
Illya is doing well because...well...it's "softcore"(lol, it's a thin strip of drawn assfloss and strategically placed flower petal away from being hardcore porno) yuri pedo porn. The pedo japanese neckbeards and legbeards eat that shit up.

>>162118267
They also added their own spin on some scenes, some great, some questionable.

For example, I thought the Berserker fight at the beginning and Caster's attack on the church was pretty good.

The Taiga hostage scene was weird. I liked that it showed Caster's growing power in the anime, but I also liked the scene in the VN because she invades Shirou's house, which is the one place he should be the safest.
>>
>>162118731
Agreed about the hostage situation. Invading Shirou's house makes her seem even more threatening, like the characters have no safe places left.
>>
>>162114807
He should write Fate/Grand Order Zero.

Except it's not see FGO surveys. Artoria is far lower FAR lower and Gil beats Emiya in those.

It's extremely inconsistent, the characters are poor (going with a huge, shallow cast instead of a few focused main characters is normally a bad idea) and the action scenes are extremely poor.

But does he need to look like a teenage Archer? His design reeks of lack of originality. He literally looks like that ONLY to trick people into watching/reading to figure out what the fuck is going on. There is no other fucking purpose.
If that isn't a huge red flag that the author has no merit as a writer and needs to trick people into checking out his stuff, I don't know what is.

I'm liking Apocrypha more than Zero overall, it has Kotomine whose great in every scene he's in but overall but it focuses to much on stuff I don't care about like Kiritsugu, Tohsaka/Matou drama and a lot of down time and only a little on the stuff I like, Saber included.

She really doesn't look like she's up for banter in those PV's. It looks like melancholy and suffering.

that doesn't mean it's not good, Berserk anime adaption was in production for years and look how that turned out, just because something is spur of the moment doesn't mean it isn't good, the animation is good and the novels had tons of effort and care put into them to be a proper Fate story, don't make it sound like it's just some rushed story.

>It feels like Apocrypha anime is just a throwaway Fate to advertise FGO.
FGO itself is a "throaway Fate". The whole franhise has turned into soulless, hyper-commercialized crap. UBW was successful due to adapting the original, extremely iconic and memorable VN. Zero is the direct prequel. Everything else is milking and they fucking know it, which is why they won't bother putting too much effort into adapting them.

To be honest I just want Tsukihime Remake to come out so it gets a KnK-like adaptation, because it absolutely deserves one. I love it so fucking much. But hey, we live in a shitty world where normalfags only know Fate, and only for the Servant shit that wasn't even the core of Fate/stay night.

I woudn't have singled out the OP if the show itself wasn't just as good, it's consistent
>>
>>162124058
>Everything else is just "ayyy let's get a bunch of servants to fight"

That doesn't describe EXTRA and CCC at all. I wouldn't even say that describes Extella. Sure Extella only has one non-servant, but there's an actual story rather than non-stop servant fights.
>>
>>162111093
Because in FGO she's the only 5* Assassin in the game that isn't a limited and she's the best at generating crits stars removing enemy buffs, and for being in a lolisquad friendship with Jeanne Jr and NR, a good portion of the fanbase like to be gameplayfags so there's that.

what about paul bunyan, is she part of the lolisquad?
>>
>>162124135
>consistent
Not really. The peak of the animation itself is in the first three episodes (it tops at the Karna vs Saber fight at episode 3). The fights in the last episode and the episode before that just didn't have the same flair to them. It's not just the fights, either. Early on, even the way characters moved was well animated.

No, it's really inconsistent and like choppy to try and make the characters look like they're going fast and also a poor attempt to hide that the studio can't fluidly animate fight scenes without shitty camera angles.

Would be pretty great to be honest. They'd probably give it to ufotable and put lots of effort into it to make up for not being a full VN. It'd be a shame if they only did the promised Sachiin route and nothing else though.

Use the Tsukihime manga as a base. Nasu even prefers it over his Near Side.

Actually, the only good story to come out of F/SN was the UBW route.
And a good chunk of that was overly wordy nonsense and terrible porn.

I'd be all for an OVA that takes the best from the Fate and HF route and finds a way to seemlessly tie it all together into a single route and make it about shirou's history and archer's redemption

Nasu is a hack when it comes to exposition and porn. It's like he just tacks H scenes on just to appeal to a certain audience.

That's literally what he did, because Takeuchi is a money grabbing chinkjew.

How about removing about half the characters, limiting the fights to one every three or four episodes, and force the whole thing to be resolved with neither side winning, just everyone fucking dies?

People hate the HF route and Fate route is a distant second to UBW.
It's not even as egregiously bad or impactful as the HF route so it's just utterly forgettable.

No idea what that is. Thing is, Fate is an established franchise and has a much larger fanbase, so it should have some better quality control.
>>
>>162126852
People were simply contesting the original claim that "the animation is good". >>162123417
>>
>>162102641
F/A was always the least popular spin-off/side-story Fate work, this is no surprise. And to add, even most anime fans in Nipland hate A-1 since they are literally the biggest garbage dump studio who do whatever Aniplex/Sony tells them to do when it comes to anime adaptions or original works.
>>
>>162126932
and it is, but everyone is obsessed with how they want better
>>162126932
Guru Guru is a 20 year old show and if anyone has reason to complain about how different the animation turned out to be from the original series to now it would be those fans, but they don't because their not fucking asses and would rather spend their time enjoying the show, something you guys seem to have trouble with despite it being good to spectacular, at the end of the day you just want it to be ufotable who did the adaption wether or not the studio who actually took it up have done a good job adapting it or not

That's why it's a good "sequel bait" prequel. For newbies just getting into the series, they'd go "man I wonder why the grail is ceaselessly shitting evil poop all over the city".
Sadly most viewers didn't bother to watch UBW to follow up on this or the ones that did complained it focused on a small, well developed cast instead of a large, shallow pool of characters being "cool".
