The animation looked pretty sub-par on some of this episodes scenes. Hopefully the rest of the series doesn't suffer from even more of a quality drop.

I think the majority of "salty people" do enjoy the anime, it's just that it could have been EASILY improved with just some changes here and there. Which makes it all the more bitter that it doesn't quite do the V/N justice.

I think it was easier to cope with DEEN's adaptation because there was just SO MUCH wrong with it that it couldn't have been fixed unless it completely started again.

I think the problem is that they nitpick too much, I read all the VN and while I'm bothered by some changes I don't get all bothered because it's not a 100% adaptation

In fact from the beginning I always knew it couldn't be a 100% adaptation because
1) no fate route means essentially that some things were going to be merged for casuals to understand
2) Obvious references they would do to try to link with Fate/Zero
3) Inability to pass every internal monologue Shirou has to the TV

Lol. I dunno. I'm still not a part of the legion of salt.

Things have pretty much gone exactly as expected.

I don't think we're quite down to the SAME/SIMILAR war levels in here yet.
No wait I swear there was something that was close to similar/same war not too long ago. Dammit I forgot which episode/thread <.<

Uhh... Hey in episode 13 thread we argued for well over 600 posts about Shirou tripping.

Anyways I should get to eating dinner and doing things, this convo is getting insulting and honestly I think whatever is in the VN is too deeply rooted within you to see Saber in her anime light, or your Saber love from the VN is making you act much differently than you do normally considering how uncivil you're being. Have a good time though.


You know that Rin could call Saber at any moment with the CS right ? O.o

Hope Ufo tops it.
DEEN screwed it up actually


Despite that discrepancy, the way it was shown in the movie was pretty awesome with EMIYA coming in then.

Maloghurst said:

-. Where the hell is his body armor and cloak? these are all things he aquired in his lifetime, he should have these things by the time he makes his deal. the CG scene even shows him without his signature cloak that doesnt make sense. at least show him with these things at a point before he dies if your gonna do flashbacks. i was dissapointed that all they showed Archer doing during his work as the counterforce was killing terrorists and rebels. so what this anime is telling me that these terrorist cells are on the same threat league as Murder of the Primates? I have a really hard time buying that Alaya would deploy it's emissaries for something this small unless these terrorists were a part of something much more threatening. it would have been neat to show Archer fighting some of these "Angra Mainyu" type demons or even a Dead Apostle Ancestor .


Yeah, I don't care as much about the hair and skin color, but I was wondering where his cloak went. And yeah, I can somewhat understand placing Archer to kill thousands of 'regular' humans as a Guardian, but yeah, ISIS operatives don't exactly require somebody like Archer.

-Saber's finaly getting characterisation...a bit late and seems mildly forced. mainly because they didnt capatilise on those couple other scenes from the first cour. granted it's UBW so she's a side character. but when things such as "anime original" content is likely a thing i would think that giving saber compensation besides just wanking her to make up for the lack of a Saber adaptation.


Probably my main gripe with the Saber scenes. I love the addition of them, but I wished there were hints and bits thrown in the first cour to not make this a flashback thrown in there without having Shirou the chance to react to it before dealing with Archer. Hopefully, the episode after the next one will have a Saber/Shirou conversation about it.

-seems like lancer got screwed her in more ways than one. they cut a couple of lancer scenes out which gave him more character, it makes it more beleivable for Saber to trust him aside from knowing his identity. with all the "unlimited flashback works" they've been doing i thought we might get a little lancer flashback...though this may very well happen next episode especially if The Answer is gonna take up 2 episodes like the rumors suggest.


I was hoping we'd get scenes of Lancer trolling Saber, but unfortunately that didn't happen. But a Lancer flashback would be great. Or maybe a flashback scene of Bazett & Lancer before Kirei comes in. Then again, I don't want to see a nonstop flashback session.

Btw I think that looks wise, they should have had this archer from the first OP for Shirou's looks when making the contract with Alaya.

Basically Archer but more boyish. TBH I think Archer in that pic looks even better than Lancer :L.

that's how he looked upon his death.as far as making the deal goes as i understood it he made his deal sometime before which is why i was wondering why we didnt get a "50/50" plus it would be a little jarring to see him suddenly go full white haired.

Alright, not going to trawl through the 14 pages of hate, but I noticed that people were talking about the red/white hair thing. Archer made the contract with Alaya before he died, so he has plenty of time to overuse projection before he kicks the bucket. Nothing wrong there.

About the episode, I found the scenes changing between Lancer and Archer vs Shirou to be a bit jarring. Kotomine appears and then they switch to Archer. Archer throws the sword, switch to Lancer. It feels cobbled up to me. Everything else in the episode was spot-on, and EMIYA 2015 is as great as I could've wished it to be. I'll go for a 4/5 this time~

Oh, my, no. I watched through every episode S2 laughing because of how the anime exceeded my expectation with each episode. After that I eagerly visit various forums to see how people justify the absolutely incomprehensible decisions they have made (which happens to be nearly every episode since EP12.

Well the fact that Shirou takes part of it automatically makes it underwelming because no way in hell they'd use budget on him.

Yeah, it was dragged out a bit, but I found it bearable, mostly because while he was talking about the same thing again, we get more tidbits of info in every monologue. Say, we now have the nuclear facility, the "do not want to see people cry" line, and the real reason why he's hell-bent on knifing Shirou.

On a rewatch, i realized how much the intended shock from Lancer's death scene horribly overshadowed the Shirou/Archer final confrontation.
They didn't even give the scene the room to breathe before giving Shirou's respond and ending the episode immediately.

Yeah. Something about them being a by-product of excessive reality marble (projection) usage, therefore he became like that before dying and becoming a heroic spirit, not after.
Even the Archer from Fate/Extra (who's supposed to be someone other than Shiro) also had white hair and dark skin before he became a counter guardian.

Maybe it will be corrected on the BD release. Not a big deal, but you'd think ufotable would pay a little more attention to detail on these things.

I also thought the same thing at first, since the image of the gallows is shown how and when he actually died later on, and it's implied he didn't die at that water facility where he made the pact.
Still, he should've looked older at that point... So he outta been depicted looking taller, more toned, with greying hair and waning eyes. It's about the ambiance.
The tech on that water facility looked to be like a good decade or so into the future too, so it makes it confusing him being shown like he's still in his early 20's, where in fact he should be older than that at that point.

I do believe I've addressed this, but oh whatever.

His contract and his death doesn't have to happen at the same time. He has plenty of time to turn dark and bleach his hear white after his wish for a miracle. It's never said when he contracted with Alaya, so it could might as well be years after this incident that he dies.

IDK about that. The nuclear facility is exactly that: a nuclear facility, only with more lights. It's not that high-tech. Besides, Archer probably dies around his 30s, and this Shirou is early 20s, which explains why his skin tone hasn't darkened yet. We didn't see how tall he was, actually, since it was a partial body shot. He could've been at 187cm at that point, but we wouldn't know.

We do know roughly when he did though:

Fate/complete material III: World material - FAQ with Nasu: Servants, p.133

Q: Around what age did Archer (Emiya Shirou) form a contract with the World as a Guardian?

A: From his late twenties to early thirties.

Seems like his body should already be showing signs of projection use if they're following this.

I think they've clearly altered the age in the anime though.

Shirou: Archer, do you regret having been hyped?

Archer: Of course I do. All the hype before backfired and made me salty!

Shirou: I see then you and I are different people after all.

Archer: What?

Shirou: Because no matter what happens, I will never regret being hyped! If you say hyped people will definitly turn salty over time, then I will destroy that mistaken belief by myself!

Archer: That way of thinking is where all of this started. One day you will reach the point where the hype dissipates and you turn salty as well.

Shirou: I won't. That day will never come.

Archer: That's true. I suppose it won't. At least in the salt club you have no future because I just delete your comments...

We can't go a single episode of anime without tentacles and sexual harassment...
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Alright, not going to trawl through the 14 pages of hate, but I noticed that people were talking about the red/white hair thing. Archer made the contract with Alaya before he died, so he has plenty of time to overuse projection before he kicks the bucket. Nothing wrong there.


I also thought the same thing at first, since the image of the gallows is shown how and when he actually died later on, and it's implied he didn't die at that water facility where he made the pact.
Still, he should've looked older at that point... So he outta been depicted looking taller, more toned, with greying hair and waning eyes. It's about the ambiance.
The tech on that water facility looked to be like a good decade or so into the future too, so it makes it confusing him being shown like he's still in his early 20's, where in fact he should be older than that at that point.


Well Nasu said that Emiya made that contract when he was between late 20's to 30's. He looks younger.

Not to mention some are forgetting why he made the contract? That was a very dumb mistake. Also personal rant, where is that awesome red coat?
