It's like I listed Remaining Sense of Pain amongst the stories that didn't advance the over arching plot much. I specifically mentioned Overlooking View because "it was the intro ergo it's important" isn't a very strong argument because really the way it's set up you could make almost any of the stories the intro story.
Araya, what do you seek?
「アラヤ、何を求める」
------True wisdom.「――――真の叡智を」
Araya, where do you seek it?「アラヤ、何処に求める」
Only within myself.「――――ただ、己が内にのみ」
Araya, what is your favorite color?「アラヤ、好きな色は?」
Blue. No, ora-- Auuuuuuuugh!「青、いや、オレンジイイイイイアアアっ!」
Because it was the move I enjoyed watching the most, even if it wasn't as important as the rest; it sent a smile to my face. I honestly believe it had the most compelling ost as well (M02+M03, M12, M14, M15+16+17 oh god). And because I like Azaka. The reasons are quite shallow/simple.
Fuck the plot, give me Azaka.
I have faith, surely Nasu will deliver Touko and Azaka meeting each other.

"Heeeeeey. I was in the middle of some other stuff and I noticed you have the ability to burn things with your mind! I'm bored and you're hot, so want to learn how to not be a n00b with it?"
"Will it help me fuck my brother?"
"Uh....yeah, sure, whatever. Anyway, first part of your training, take off your clothes."

That doesn't sound like what he described at all.

How did he describe it?
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
I think there was another place where he describes it but I can't remember where. I know it gets a brief mention in the 10th anniversary but no details were given.When did Azaka become Touko's apprentice?
Nasu: Since she formally became Touko's apprentice after Shiki woke up, that would be sometime around June or July of 1998. But, Touko and Azaka had already met before then. While Azaka was still living at her relatives' house, a series of strange incidents occurred, and Touko was the one that got to the bottom of it. As the daughter of the house, Azaka got dragged cooperating with the investigation. Though at that stage, probably neither of them would have guessed that they would eventually become master and apprentice! By the way, when Kokutou first came to Touko's office, she had no idea he was Azaka's older brother. As for why, it's because——
Takeuchi: Hey, hey, is it really okay if you go and spoil things like that?
Nasu: I-Is that bad? It's bad, isn't it? Then, someday when you least expect it I'll go ahead and blab it out…
Takeuchi: You're being irresponsible again…

Overlooking view begins to elucidate Shiki's character and nature, less so Touko and Kokuto. Fujyou vaguely mentions someone facilitating her out of body experience.
Remaining Sense of Pain, again mostly character thing. What the Garan no Dou threesome actually do, exploring their characters more. That the story lasts beyond the meeting at Annenerbe shows that a great deal revolves around exploring what this self professed killer's relationship with killing actually is.
Oblivion recorder - Of course by now, that Kurogiri was asked by Araya to troll Shiki. This part explores how Shiki is actually adapting somewhat to her current state. Then Kurogiri. Thus leading onto the finale.
BEHOLD! THE SIG OF GOLDEN TRUTH! Pillaged from McJon, Tsukikan et al.
It's almost as if there were more to KnK than just nasu-lore.
My attempts at being a (fanfic) writer:
Eclipse - a Saber Alter oneshot
Requiem for a Race - Altrouge and Ortenrosse hunt the TAs ( 1/3 chapters, discontinued )
Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured
Character development really isn't the same as plot.
But the complaint was specifically about Gospel of the Future being fanservice because "no plot", which I was addressing by pointing out that Rakkyo doesn't really have the most consistent plot velocity.

I wish UTW would hurry up and sub Extra Chorus already, so I can watch it...
You can't depend on Unlimited Translation Works for anything these days (what are they even subbing at the moment?). Just watch what's available.

That's what Skeen said and than other people got involved somehow. Just for the record, why do you consider it fanservice?

Except there hardly is anything available...The only other group I could find that has translated Extra Chorus into English at all is some small-time no-name group called "KoyuuKekkai", and Extra Chorus is the ONLY thing they've done so far, and they don't have an English website...Hardly sounds worth the risk...I need my KnK fix in good video quality with good subs, otherwise it's not worth watching. And yeah, true, UTW doesn't really have time to do much subbing at all these days because some of the members (including the leader) is super-busy or something, so the only new thing they're subbing is Puchimas...Lol...
EDIT: So I just discovered that KoyuuKekkai is actually a member on this site (so he's a one-man team when it comes to subbing Extra Chorus then I guess). Interesting...Maybe I'll give his release a go.

Nobody should complain at subs if they are not actually buying legal copies.Except there hardly is anything available...The only other group I could find that has translated Extra Chorus into English at all is some small-time no-name group called "KoyuuKekkai", and Extra Chorus is the ONLY thing they've done so far, and they don't have an English website...Hardly sounds worth the risk...I need my KnK fix in good video quality with good subs, otherwise it's not worth watching.

I'll continue to complain about things like this. Like why doesn't Japan has US military discounts on their websites? Huh? I would buy stuff if they did that.
As far as I know those legal copies don't come with English subs for some reason, even though the boxset with the other movies did come with English subs (though I don't know how good they are). I prefer to buy things I can actually use. That said, it doesn't matter to me anymore anyway. I just watched KoyuuKekkai's release, and it was fine.
