Wrong... UBW is about adapting your ideal into reality. So it is a mixture of realism and idealism. Stop. Let him make sword puns, you jerk. |

RinPriest said: FlameseeK said: If you don't like character/plot development - which you called pointless sidetracking in spite of it all being directly connected to the plot as a whole -, try watching Deen's UBW movie. Yup, DEEN did a great job removing all that useless character development and got straight to all the action scenes. They did it on purpose, it was eye-candy for the fans. But seriously, a route in 2 or even 3 hours ? Let's cross fingers HF will be a serie of movies rather than only one. |

FlameseeK said: TheIMF said: This anime had such a good start but has turned aggressively mediocre over the last three episodes. Gorgeous animation not withstanding, the writing is abysmal. Time and time again we have Rin not doing what she's supposed to be doing and they pul the tsundere card to play it off like it's not the dumbest thing in the world. We're 6 episodes in and the last three have been a mixed bag of slice of life and pointless sidetracking. Very disappointing thus far. 6/10 If you don't like character/plot development - which you called pointless sidetracking in spite of it all being directly connected to the plot as a whole -, try watching Deen's UBW movie. Who needs character development anyway? No character can possibly be serious or mature unless they're a cold blooded killer actively seeking out their next target. Personality, motivation, goals? Useless mediocre crap. A good character uses cold logic. |

Wrong... UBW is about adapting your ideal into reality. So it is a mixture of realism and idealism. It's the case with all FSN routes, only that what is the "reality" of each is more or less crappy. Fate and Heaven's Feel do not feel very "real", one is too light and the other too dark. UBW, as a middle ground, seems more relatable compared to RL. Magic and all that aside, of course. |

RinPriest said: Haha, so I wasn't the only one who noticed that, I forgive Ufotable because I know they are being wise with their budget and saving it up for the action scenes. I think Evangelion did the same thing back in the day. That didn't work out so well >.>;; I'm still pretty nervous Ufotable will accidentally spend all their budget and then the rest of the episodes will look like shit. |

Nah, they will fix it in the BD. Just look at FZ BD fixes. They have to draw so many scenes to match the deadline, so they have to make mistakes somewhere. |

Forgetfulness said: So want to enlighten us on what Rin "should" be doing? Actually furthering her efforts to win the Holy Grail War would be nice. Instead she keeps coming up with one convenient excuse after another why she shouldn't or can't take out Shirou despite him being an obvious threat in the long run due to Saber being one of the more powerful Heroic Spirits that she originally wanted? Curious how the heroine loses her drive and calculative mind when it comes to hero. Now she's playing mentor and they're allies, fair enough, at least we're getting somewhere, but the plot is moving at snail's pace. |

Who needs motivations and reasons that have yet to be revealed right? Also, either way it'd be in her best interest to take advantage of a naive and trusting noob who happens to have a powerful weapon even if she didn't have her plot-related reasons. |

UBW is basically a route about three tsunderes constantly bashing their heads against one another.  |

Her mouth is unnecessarily large and crooked, when it's actually supposed to be much smaller. Maybe it doesn't look weird to you, but I believe Ufotable could have done a MUCH better job without distorting her mouth. |

Also, either way it'd be in her best interest to take advantage of a naive and trusting noob who happens to have a powerful weapon even if she didn't have her plot-related reasons. If keeping Shirou alive served any purpose, then that purpose only came to after the last episode in which she tried to kill him, meaning we'd probably know about, but since we don't know of any such thing, assuming there are none is reasonable. Regardless, you're fixating on Shirou. Shirou isn't her own failing. The Holy Grail War, for all intents and purposes, has commenced, and yet despite all her preparations, she is content wasting time at her school, seemingly having no issue with hunting preyed upon rather than doing the preying herself - which is not the impression she gave in earlier episodes, in which she seemed much more focused and driven to succeed. Shirou has killed that drive. He's become the "baka" to her tsundere. This unlikely alliance of theirs was predictable, but the pacing coming to it was poor and subsequently killed the momentum earlier episodes built up. |

If keeping Shirou alive served any purpose, then that purpose only came to after the last episode in which she tried to kill him, meaning we'd probably know about, but since we don't know of any such thing, assuming there are none is reasonable. As I said, there are motivations and reasons that have yet to be revealed. Assuming there is none is unreasonable when it's only six episodes in. All I can say without spoiling is that the reason is quite important. It's like when you read a book and a question or odd decision is made by the characters early on but then not explained until the later chapters. TheIMF said: Regardless, you're fixating on Shirou.

Thus far, they've fought Berserker (the servant that could take on the other six combined) and Lancer (the one who nearly killed Archer if it hadn't been for Shirou's interruption), and just this episode we see Caster who is a powerful mage that has established advantageous territory, and we see Assassin who appears to be allying with Caster. Given all of this knowledge, we see that it would have been incredibly reckless of her if she thought she could go on her own and march into the hands of the enemy just by herself and Archer. TheIMF said: Shirou has killed that drive. He's become the "baka" to her tsundere.
