Fate/stay night

[Kraco]

Damn taking it personal aren't we?

It might have seemed at a casual glance like I was insulting you, but if you didn't take it so personally, yourself, you'd have realised that's not the case. Anyway, enough of that fruitless disruption.

I completely agree with shinta. After I had watched FSN for the first time, I actually considered it only a good anime but nothing special. It wasn't in my top 5 or anything (actually still isn't). It has some serious problems preventing it from becoming a masterpiece, mainly the fact it didn't follow one route of the game but was an odd mix. However, after playing the game, you can actually watch the anime only as a way of seeing some of the scenes animated. Kind of like supplementary material to the story. Of course this means you don't specifically think the anime is awesome but the whole FSN scheme.

I also, can't to this day say Fate Stay/Night could realistically make the cut into my top anime list. Yet its been in there on my sig, when I could think of many more deserving series that could take its place.

It just had too many flaws and Shinji's character in the anime was so damned annoying.

I never played the game or saw anything outside the anime though, and I'm still a rabid fan regardless.

My conclusion: Saber, Rin, and Rider.

EDIT: Haha, I called Shirou Shinji. Thats how annoying he was. -_-

[Archangel]

Lol, Sakura doesn't even make the list?

Even hoes need love dude

^ feels like those love-scene insert songs. I can imagine a few scenes where it may happen, but it could well be just the ED song.

It sure does. I also could imagine a scene or two but they might have it as the ED like you said. Depends also how much lighter scenes they intend to have. All things considered, the movie will be quite nonstop action if they intend to have everything essential in.

FSN TV Reproduction OP Single mp3 - LonE

A strange version of disillusion and then some other song (which is quite good in my opinion).

Disillusion 2010 sounds rather strange to begin with. When the instruments kick in, it feels pretty good and all with the upbeat and stuff, but then falls into strangeness again, generally with the slower singing feeling somewhat mismatched. The entire cycle continues throughout the song.

The second one, as you said, is rather agreeable overall.

Subs are too big. Vid quality is somewhat acceptable. The OP is quite the eyecandy.

I'll wait a day or two to see if a better version pops up before I watch the rest of this

[Kraco]

Yeah, you might be better off waiting. I watched that yesterday when it was released, and not only was the translation done first to Portuguese and from that to English but it was quite bad as well. Furthermore, in the end it's all the same to wait as well, because it contained nothing new. It truly was put together entirely by cutting pieces of the series. In short it seemed they chose every important fight highlight and every important line (that is, not every important discussion but only the important lines from those discussions). The story jumps from one such significant scene to the next, with nothing in between. It was quite a jumpy and weird ride.

But being such an FSN fan I'll archive it nonetheless if a decent version appears.

[Archangel]

There are no new scenes at all other than the new OP and ED if anyone was wondering

You know what would have been a good and not so expensive idea? If they had gotten Shirou's voice actor to narrate some scenes just like he did in the game. It would add both content and interest from the fans.

It seems like the BD release date of the UBW movie might be no sooner than the 30th of September. According to some maganize scan posted at myanimelist's forum.

I certainly hoped it would be sooner.

Sooner would be nice, of course. I only hope it would be no later.

[Archangel]

Meh, it will be a nice back to school present

[Kraco]

cdjapan seems to list the movie 105 minutes long. So, it equals five eps worth of material, credits included (since the movie only needs those once, obviously). Not a whole lot of minutes to play with, considering the route is even longer than the Fate route. Hopefully the slideshow will still retain all the best scenes.

[Archangel]

Like i said before, i'm sure they can shed a few hours off it by not having to mention what was already animated in the tv series too much

[Kraco]

The first raw appeared on Tokyotosho so we are close, by any reckoning.

[Archangel]

Here's hoping a nice group like Doki picks it up. Or maybe Thora if they resign themselves to making a 720p version.

[Marik]

Go to #611 for the updated version.

[Zati]

Fantastic. Thanks, Marik. Like many of the other members, I've been eagerly awaiting this release, and it's finally out!

[Kraco]

As a stand-alone movie this would be quite miserable but as supplementary material for the game, I think this was perfect. Well worth the long wait. Considering how hard it must have been to stuff it all in mere 1:45, I think the cutting work was fine. The only missing thing was Shirou's condition to Lancer's suggestion. I can't believe they took away the funniest moment of the arc! But then again, maybe it would have stood out too much with the general lack of romance dictated by the time limit.

Atmosphere and music were wonderful as expected. Even Archer's backstory worked well considering, once again, the lack of minutes allowed for building it.

I didn't really get the scene after the credits, though. It was weirdly morbid and conflicted with the last scenes before the credits: Rin's promise to Archer and the sunset scene (which was fortunately included, even if without dialogue). I wonder if UTW's raw was missing the last frames...

In short, I'm not disappointed at all. A jolly good movie for those who have played the game.

[KrayZ33]

wow this movie is most likely completely incomprehensible for anyone who has not seen the series or played the game and for those who watched/played it its not dramatic enough imho

surely only watchable because of the fight scenes, they were awesome
(+rin and saber fanservice scenes)
