UBW Anime - ufotable's virtue is in a state of quantum uncertainty

[Saber Alter]

Didn't they also change some scenes slightly? Like in the VN, when Archer attacks Shirou at Ryuudou Temple the first time, he avoids some of his attacks there, while in the anime no avoidance occurs?

In the anime, if you look carefully, Shirou (despite being partially attacked before falling down the stairs of the temple) deliberately makes sure to avoid being wounded fatally.

The anime shows two of Archer's attacks. In both instances, Shirou moved intentionally to avoid mortal damage.

Uncertain if watching Monogatari in chronological order would be more confusing or less.

Sorry, I was just reading TomPen's sig. Carry on.

The anime depiction of that fight started off good then went to complete and utter shit with Archer deciding he needed to take a 15 second break listening to Rin's contract incantation with Saber, getting interrupted by a single attack from Shirou, then deciding it's still not worth interrupting either Rin+Saber or just killing Shirou before Saber makes it to Rin in the next 15 seconds. Granted, the last part was slow-mo movement, but you have to completely forget that Archer is still the fastest person in that room at being able to do anything.

That's why it is a rewatch. First-time viewing should always be release order.
Happy to continue this discussion here.

That's not the scene being discussed, it's the one where Archer slices Shirou's back open after Caladbolg'ing Caster.

Sorry, whenever I see someone mention an Archer/Shirou fight I go either to the fight scene ruined by the ending as I already described or the HUGE FUCKING GUNDAM SWORDs fight scene interrupted by Saber who has been a brick wall the entire series.

Oh god... not this.... In the temple he let Shirou crawled until he was far enough. It was weird
