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

[Inuhanyou]

Makes me wonder how they will adapt the HF route as a counter point 'devil's advocate' route. In examining each distinct possibility, making declarative statements about these life choices when people like Archer can be swayed feels like an undermining of the core message

Letting go of the ideal should not be portrayed as something wrong or 'immoral' perse and i hope they dont portray it as something in the vein. Its just another possible road based on Shirou's life choices. Nothing was illegitimate

[Seika]

There's Luvia cut content for the BDs.

Also he shows the script for the last shot with Shirou:

Spoiler:

*Desert scene
After the end credits. A desert scene, same as the opening.
Shirou walks alone. His strength falters and he stops walking.
Shirou looks down to shield his eyes from the sandstorm, and sees traces of someone else having been there (the place where Archer stopped).
Shirou breathes out and looks up. There's fake endurance in his expression, but it's full of hope.
Shirou walks away with a steady gait.
The camera lingers on the traces of Archer's presence, and watches Shirou leave as the shot ends.
(If you want to make it easier to understand, after Shirou leaves, you can add Archer appearing in that spot after Shirou leaves and seeing him off... but I think you shouldn't.)

+About the very last scene
You should be able to understand what it's saying the second time around, but just to prevent any misunderstandings here's the excerpt from the script:

[[Wasteland Scene
After the credits. The same wasteland as at the beginning.
Shirou is walking alone. Exhausted, he comes to a stop.
When he looks down, there are signs that somebody was here before him. (This is where Archer stopped.)
He sighs, and looks up. Though his expression is a little weary, it is also full of hope.
With a purposeful stride, he begins walking forward again.
The camera stays at Archer's footprints, watching Shirou's back as it recedes into the distance. End Scene.
(If you need to make it easier to understand, have Archer appear at his footprints after Shirou leaves, watching over him... though hopefully you won't have to do that.)]]

Nuh-uh, I got my post in first so you have to use mine, forum rules.

Alright.

[palad1n]

Ha, It's alright to hope after all! The epilogue really delivers on Clock Tower, complete with Luvia and Waver cameos 10/10 for me.

Now I can safely expect HF true with Zelretch. Maybe hope for Lorelei too.

Reading through some of these posts, I realize Polly is 100% my spirit animal

(does she still use this forum)

And sorry if Im being completely wrongopiniontm, but isnt the only answer Fate Shirou reaches that its selfish of him to want to be with Saber

[mAc Chaos]

He kind of reaches an answer similar to HF Shirou when Gil interrupts their date. Except instead of Sakura it's Saber. Well, it's still a bit different since Saber embodies his ideal, so it's almost like having both.

…But I'm grateful for that abnormality.
Because in that empty seat…
…Is sitting a person I want to save from the bottom of my heart.

You're more beautiful than that. There's nothing inside me that can take your place."

[Lace]

And in the end, he realizes that he was wrong and just pretended that he put Saber above himself, when really he was being selfish and doing it for his own benefit. "I value you higher than me, so lets live together and be lovers lol. Oh actually you dont want that, so I wasnt valueing you higher than me at all. Guess Ill respect that now after 13 days of acting like a 5year old and let you go & everything returns to normal, sike"

i hate the fate route im sorry i hate everything about it i just cant keep in salt in check

It's been brought up a few times so I translated the rest of Nasu's latest blog post.

We're collecting them here, so please contribute if you know of any posts not already linked in the OP.

2015/6/27: Final episode! (Kinoko)


"Wow, a new character showed up even though it's the last episode (monotone).
I wonder who she is, that beautiful, splendid, blonde drills pro wrestling rich lady!"
"Oh, she's in Prilya too. It's not that surprising."
"D A M N Y O U H I R O Y A M A H I R O S H I !"

Yeah.
Did you enjoy the last episode of Fate/stay night UBW?

Impressive, ufo managed to cram new settings and character designs into the last episode like it was nothing.

I think you'll see why the stage moved for #25 if you watch it.
To our viewers who have followed us for two seasons, it's not because "we're shifting to the Sakura route next," but because we wanted to give you "the continuation of UBW."

I watched it a little ahead of everyone else (SHIROBAKO came out on the morning of the 27th), but I humbly submit that this experiment was quite an achievement.

This past half year has been a wonderful experience.
I feel like I've returned to my younger self from 10 years ago.
Again, thank you and fantastic work on the part of Director Miura and all of the staff at ufo!

◆

So. While directing my feelings of gratitude to Kouenji,
I will now give you an inside scoop, per Kinoko custom.

I began by thinking that #25's script was "mostly original, so I should write this as a side story to the original [the VN] story."
And so I, Kinoko, was at my wits end trying to write something approximating a screenplay.

That's right. You know what I mean. In other words, I bit off more than I could chew again. Fuck!

Thus we drastically cut the parts that weren't needed for an anime... but the generous people at Aniplex said, "It would be a waste if all of your Nasu-san's work was cut, so let's include it as a special in the second box set."
Those of you interested in what was cut (Luvia's turn to shine and Luvia's turn to shine and Luvia's turn to shine, etc.) should check out the second box set.

I'll take this time to comment on two scenes:

* About Glastonbury
That's but one of the many supposed graves of King Arthur dotting England. There are many more.
Rin: "It's one of King Arthur's graves. There are many others so its authenticity isn't certain, but it at least has a connection to her, right?"
This line was cut down for the anime.

That said, Glastonbury was a really beautiful place.
I can't quite put into words what I felt when I went through the gate and saw that meadow.
To put it in game terms, it was the emotion of leaving Kokiri Village for the first time in Ocarina of Time for the N64 + the world of ICO (PS2) in reality.
If you ever plan on traveling to England, by all means take the time to go there.

* The very final scene
It's a scene that you'll understand if you review it again, but it was easily misunderstood so here's the excerpt from the script:

Wasteland scene
"After the ED. Same scene as the initial wasteland.
Shirou walks alone. Exhausted, his feet slow to a halt.
Shirou, lowering his eyes in the face of a sandstorm, notices someone's footprints (the place where Archer stopped walking).
Shirou takes a breath, and raises his head. His face is one of pretended resolve, but also full of hope.
Shirou resumes walking in that direction, with a firm gait.
The camera stops at Archer's trail, and the scene ends on Shirou's back, shrinking in the distance.
(To make this easier to understand, after Shirou leaves, you can also insert Archer watching Shirou that appeared by the footprints... but I think it'd be best if you didn't)"

He's not wandering around aimlessly, but rather heading towards a distant point.

◆

On that note, the "stay night" aspect of Fate concluded with a splendid final episode.
But, I'm afraid to say that the Fate anime won't end yet. We're almost there, just a bit more, etc etc.

First, the unprecedentedly out-of-control "Prisma Illya Zwei Herz!" starts on July 24, so you should excitedly wait for that.
According to reports from the people at Yomiuri Land, it's rumored Zwei is going to be even more powered up in various, well, you know, that​ sort of way!

◆

Please wait just a bit longer for FGO... almost... almost...
We're making the final tweaks...

[GhostDIGIT]

Fate was more or less Shirou starting to follow his ideals for himself rather than the people who died in the fire.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

And sorry if Im being completely wrongopiniontm, but isnt the only answer Fate Shirou reaches that its selfish of him to want to be with Saber

People seem to forget the whole "move onwards, don't keep hanging onto the past and look to the future" thing from the basement, but okay.

[mAc Chaos]

And in the end, he realizes that he was wrong and just pretended that he put Saber above himself, when really he was being selfish and doing it for his own benefit. "I value you higher than me, so lets live together and be lovers lol. Oh actually you dont want that, so I wasnt valueing you higher than me at all. Guess Ill respect that now after 13 days of acting like a 5year old and let you go & everything returns to normal, sike"

i hate the fate route im sorry i hate everything about it i just cant keep in salt in check

That's not how it is at all. Saber WANTS to stay but her duty forbids her. Shirou wants her to stay too but he doesn't want to make her betray her duty. That doesn't mean he still doesn't want her to stay.

lol nasu

tl;dr Luvia fans, buy the blu-ray set.

[Alternative Ice]

What more needs to be said?

[Lace]

Wow my post just vanished into nothingness im so sad right now

I was saying that its not believable enough for me to buy the whole Hooked On Shirou Dick and How2Girl101 spiel with Saber, so I cant see her want to stay with him

But, even if I did buy it, you admitted yourself, Saber wants to fulfill her duty moreso than she wants to stay with Shirou. So whats she really want? Not being Shirous girlfriend for the rest of her life, that is

LE doesnt exist

[mAc Chaos]

shes practically crying all of the times that she says she cant stay

i mean theres a difference between doing what you have to do and what you want, thats half of the theme in FSN

besides, shirou isnt wrong to try and convince her. just rolling over and accepting everything someone does isnt the way to care about someone, or rider's way of enabling sakura wouldnt be unhealthy. she even stays in UBW good, so its apparently possible for her to be swayed. but eventually he realizes she wont be and accepts it
