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

[Orivaa]

wow, what a great episode, I really enjoyed that. I may have a new favorite for the second cour

My sarcasm detector broke recently, so could you explain?

[Lace]

The moment she said "my previous thing" I lost all expectations for sex.

Because really, even Nasu isn't that hokey of a writer.

Nasu wrote the RN scenes lol

[Rafflesiac]

Err, you forgot Fate and HF where Shirou actually kiss and hold hands with heroines, dude.

This is an adaptation of UBW, which is what I'm talking about.

Fate and HF have no bearing on the anime.

[Kotonoha]

This is also a RN original. DEEN just made it with POLYGONS.

Didn't the DEEN anime come before RN?

[GhostDIGIT]

Also the crest transfer scene is mostly identical to the RN version (including the kiss, that wasn't in RN either) which is not surprising, but they forgot to have Rin mention that the crest won't function as a crest anymore. Look forward to Shirou effortlessly using Tohsaka magecraft in fanfics from now on!

My blissful ignorance!

[Tobias]

oh speaking of, unles the subs missed something, it really seems like rin used her whole crest. there is nothing about it being a small piece of it. the only clue that might be the case is its smaller on shirou and thats more likely because rin altered it to serve a new function then anything else.

I wouldnt mind that, except rin did again, hint that there was more then one option here. I just choose to believe in the anime that newoption was something really horrible, like severing saber's ahoge or stealing taiga's last manjuu

Nasu wrote the RN scenes lol

Goddammit, Nasu.

Because Saber.

Though we can still tease him about the lack of Taiga, lol.

[Break]

Oh Elf, I've known that since the beginning.

Even if he could, without Rin's or Luvia's output, Gandr is just a cold-curse instead of a magic bullet- although im pretty sure even Nasu forgot about Rin's gandr beeing special when he gave Luvia the exact same thing.

Im pretty sure Gandr was a spell from the crest, so if Rin uses Gandr again after that, we know she didnt use the whole thing.

Because Edelfelt is the Originator and Tohsaka is just a filthy Faker?

Wait lol, that means Shirou in UBW has a way to ascend into a true Faker!

its hard to, but Ill try. its not that the more action packed episodes were bad, I quite enjoyed them in their own way, but this episode seemed to catch more of the innate "feel" of fate that I actually feel has been a bit lacking lately. It helps that nothing was rushed and they let the scenes evolve at exactly the pace they needed to. From the crest transfer, to the flashback(s), to what in retrospect was probably the final saber scene (I had originally expected her to have a longer and more indepth farewell scene, but that final conversation really wrapped her side of it up enough I wouldn't complain even if that was it)

Dunno, like I said, its hard to precisely put into words, but this episode really just felt like a true "adaptation" in that it brought the story to life.

It was always the whole crest. It's just a regular circuit now. Goodbye crest.

[mAc Chaos]

Didn't the DEEN anime come before RN?

I think DEEN was the first one that assigned voice acting, and then there was the RN, which is why the hentai scenes had no voice acting in them. (Since they were from the original that had no voice acting.)

Or maybe just because they were h-scenes.

Yeah just checked, DEEN is 2006, RN is 2007.

see thats what I had said on the issue, but a lot of people had been making the claim Rin only used a tiny fragment of the crest and thus was not really sacrificing much in order to create the link.

Also, welcome back, if I never got around to mentioning.

[Kotonoha]

People will probably be mad about Rin giving up the crest but I always kinda liked that because it's very Rin-like. "Decades of my family's accumulated knowledge? Nah, I'll be fine starting from scratch"

Yeah, so dragon is a DEEN original.

don't call it a comeback

[Mcjon01]

Nice atmospheric music throughout the scene.


Still mad about the kiss though.

What kiss?

The point is that Gandr is originally just a normal curse that causes a common cold, Rin's Gandr's are only working as projectiles because she puts so much mana in them, which presumably is a thing she came up with herself; so why is Luvia using them the same way? Is anyone at all using Gandr's properly as simple cold-curses?

I guess I'm os the school of thought that not even Rin would give that up. It's the thing she does after all =_=[/QUOTE]

don't call it a comeback

Until you come back with presents?

The mini-crest is shaped like the fishies :O

you have missed weeks of nerd rage filled arguments on the subject, my own included. peruse the backlogs if you want a few cheap laughs.
