Yeah, the music was the only thing special in that anime imho.

Anyone still watching Ushinawareta Mirai o Motomete? I dropped it a bit ago since it did not seem that good.
Log Horizon 8
+ Show Spoiler +Nice episode to see how Shiroe and company are doing during Christmas Eve. We still don't know what they are doing currently since Akatsuki just defeated the Guard dude on New Year's. I really don't get the Moon part.Shiroe thinks they are on the test server which is on the Moon? whaaaaaa?

Hey
There's something i've been wondering about F/SN UBW for a while and i'm reluctant to google around cuz don't want to be spoiled too bad
+ Show Spoiler [F SN UBW/Zero] + In F/Zero sakura is adopted into the matou family cuz they have no heirs, but in F/SN UBW there is a brother of about her age, where does he come from? Is he rly related the old matou man? Also is he rly a mage or what, last episode seemed to show that he is very weak at the least? Why is sakura not a master? She got raped by worms so she's prolly a bit fucked in her mind but she's at least was pretty strong magic wise being rin's sister and all right?
Real cool episode btw, from shinji's babble during the attack i assume it's someone from the school so actually caster's master? Unless a servant can take the place of regular human without mage's or servant's sensing it, he did call it "it" later on. Don't wanna get spoiled on this though btw, just commenting on the episode.

This is kind of the problem with watching F/Z without seeing F/SN, you're reading a story out of order so instead of the second one building on the first you got certain expectations you shouldn't have in the first which makes things confusing. Sakura is dealt with mostly in the last route(Heaven's Feel) so I don't know if you'll get all the answers in UBW or until HF since my memory is a bit shoddy.

Spoiler FSN:
+ Show Spoiler +Sakura was a master but she gave her command seals and Rider to Shinji because she didn't want to participate., Afaik the Matou family no longer has any heirs that have a strong magic affinity, also one of the reasons why the Matou family was so desperate for Sakura. In order to see the Sakura plot being resolved you will have to read FSN: Heavens feel route(sakura's route) or wait till Ufotable cranks out its movies(which will most likely be cramped)
|
If they do like they did for KnK then it should be amazing.
|
Are they doing just 1 movie for HF or multiple ones?
|
Nanatsu no Taizai once again was very nice to watch. Honestly, I'm loving so many animes this season I couldn't do a ranking.
|
No idea why I never jumped on the series earlier but a friend recommended Fate to me and I bingewatched FateZero over the weekend and caught up with the current UBW today. Definitely understand why most people recommended watching S/N over Zero first because a lot of things are clearer although the information in the first episodes 8 eps so far is rather limited. But my buddy told me the original s/n anime adaption was absolutely butchered and given what DEEN did to Log Horizon S2 I was inclined to believe him.
But man... UBW animations are so good I almost feel unworthy watching it and Rin is definitely best girl. I read that there's a movie coming out after the UBW ends doing the path of Sakura, is that movie also done be the current studio?
|
Yes there will be at least a movie following the final route of F/SN after they finished with UBW. We haven't got word if it's just one or more like they did with KnK. I think the KnK movies should give a good idea about the quality of the HF animation. UBW is good but not quite KnK level.
Nanatsu no Taizai hasn't had new good subs in over a week. Making me sad

Wish they could do Fate route too just so it gets a proper adaptation.

The moon part, you know how the servers are based on real locations on earth, europe server, murica server, jp server and such, similarly test server is based on moon. Not all that hard to imagine, though they can choose antarctic or something.

Shingeki no Bahamut: + Show Spoiler +Aw yeah, finally they leave the castle. Needs some more action! Looks like there's gonna be quite some uproar soon if they manage to leave. Especially now that the king is getting mindcontrolled.
|
Holy shit Cross Ange this week was just 20 minutes of suffering. This show shouldn't make me this sad dammit.
|
inou battle continues to be nothing but tease and hayamin at times.
Show ridiculous cute girl in episode 1 and 2 (the student council girl) and she never gets screentime again. NEVER. Despite having a supernatural power. But well, at least we're going to get more Hayamin suffering~

Yes i'm watching Ushinawareta
+ Show Spoiler [ushinawareta] +I'm not sure of the point of the first 8 episodes since that could have been shortened but episode 9 is the best episode of that series. Stuff fast forwards and now we have not-as-straightforward steins gate. It's interesting... If only the show had its VN art -__-
+ Show Spoiler [inou battle 9] + STOP TEASING ME. I can't take this T__T, i'm surprised we have all the girls basically admitting their love pretty straightforwardly except for the tsundere as expected. In other news, my bro was mad that inou battle volumes 7-9 were sold out on kinokuniya. :/, would have been interesting to see what happens later.

+ Show Spoiler +Did the king get mindcontrolled by Amira? That demon kind of looked different but in the next scene Amira appeared with the same clothes...
Anyways, am I the only one who finds it hard to follow the overarcing story in this? I don't understand who all these demons and angels are and what their purpose is. They just randomly appear and seem to be important and all have their plans but nothing is revealed. For example: I don't know anything about the demon that hold them captured on his castle except that he was probably just a marionette without knowing. But now he is dead, lol. I feel like the whole story telling is done in short scenes thrown randomly in between and you can't really make connection because everything is so weirdly short and full of holes.

+ Show Spoiler +Shinji is the true first born of the Matous. However, the Matou family ran dry on Magic Circuits, so to speak, in Shinji's father's generation. So Shinji was born with no Magic Circuits, meaning that while he is from a family of mages, he can't actually use magic. Thats why they went out of their way to adopt Sakura into their family, since she does have Magic Circuits. The following is spoilers you finally learn in Heaven's Feel: + Show Spoiler +Sakura didn't want to fight in the Holy Grail War, and Shinji did. So Sakura gives Shinji her command seals and Servant, Rider, for him to compete. In Heaven's Feel, the route where Shirou and Sakura get romantically involved, shit happens to piss off Zouken due to Shinji's incompetence, and he basically forces Sakura into the war.
For the record, I think they could do HF just fine in 1 movie, considering 90% of the route is either sex or cooking.

In regards to Heaven's Feel
+ Show Spoiler +I forget what exactly started Sakura on the whole "becoming the dark thing that eats everything"? I forgot what the trigger was (since she didn't go evil in the other routes). I remember there was some talk with Zouken after he personally witnessed how bad Shinji is but didn't he give the impression that he was fine with Sakura not doing anything at first? I am pretty sure it was Sakura/black thing that took out Assassin and that is how Zouken was able to summon True Assassin. I can't remember that middling part or what exactly was "dark Sakura" because at the end she was like taken over by the grail but before that? Bah shouldn't have breezed through the route so fast
