But what does that do in the long run when he just gets chopped down, the person he should be "protecting" will still be in danger. It accomplishes nothing and he wastes his life (hes lucky he had that sheath)
Sounds more like a self sacrificial complex to me.
If he wants to protect then
1 Gain the strength to be able to protect
2 If not learn to work together and put your shitty pride away to achieve the intended goal.

Speaking of FSN, what is the GAF consensus on that UBW movie?

It's horrible if you haven't read Unlimited Blade Works and if you have then it's still pretty bad.SonicX_Zero said:

So remember what I told you about my imouto? She decided to watch none of the shit any of you dweebs recommended because "it looked too old" and went straight for Working!!.
I don't know how to feel about that.

For me it's naive, but logical (and thus acceptable as "good") given the premises.
For Shiro, a person getting hurt is wrong. Does it matter that Saber is able to fight, basically a ghost and strong while Shiro isn't able to fight, weak and could die?
From his point of view it doesn't, because it's better for him to get hurt than for other to suffer. He has a hero complex and that makes it a good enough reason for him to act the way he does, even if the way he acts is stupid and naive and for many people that makes him insufferable to watch.

This is more semantics then anything. Within the context of a narrative it is a "good" reason. It's like Johan from Monster.Lain said:
He is an absolute lunatic doing some extremely cruel stuff. But the narrative explains how his mind was warped. From a logic standpoint, Shiro doesn't have a "good" reason though and basically makes him crazy.
Do me a favor and spoiler my quote? Thanks bud.

Sounds like mental gymnastics to me. If he really wanted to protect people he would actually train himself to actually achieve that but instead his way of protection his for people to strike him down and take the pain. His method is warped as hell imo.

Working!! 01: The art style reminds me of K-ON!, but it doesn't suck shit. That episode was so fake though. Dude should have been breaking plates and fucking up orders. First days in a job are always hell.
All of the cast is pretty likable. also dat wan wan song

I really like the quality and animation effects they used for several scenes of the episode. It looked gorgeous. I think I still enjoy the parts with Waver the most, I just hope he can identify a decent desire for what to use the grail for. Lastly, the entire portion with Ryuunosuke completely scared me, but he is my second favorite character.
Though what exactly is the purpose of the grail war again, just a test of strength that occurs every century or something?

Killing the kid via Chtulu was too intense

Well, he does train to fight to be able to protect people and take the place of his servant in battle at some point, though he sucks too much so the only thing he can think of is to be a meat shield.
His method is warped, his actions foolish, but as far as his reason, I just can't help it, I find it "good" because of the way Shiro is presented to us. If he acted in a different way, I think his childish and naive hero complex wouldn't have the same weight.
More than his reason for acting the way he does being good or not, I think what's bad is that even though he is scolded by Saber, mocked by Archer and told off by Rin, Shiro doesn't get that wanting to protect is good, getting killed off is stupid.

Fate/Zero 2:
Another strong episode with a lot of time focused on character development. There's not quite as much here as last time due to the shorter running time, but several of the characters get fleshed out further, and we get some new and interesting folks, too. Rider is truly a man's man. The scene with Ryuunosuke and Caster was extremely tense and creepy, and did a great job setting up both characters.

Also, why the hell did NISA license and release it as "Wagnaria"? Why not just call it "Working" like it is actually called? The cafe is called Wagnaria but I didn't recognize it when I first saw the box.

Legal issues is the most likely culprit. That and googling Working does absolutely nothing to bring the show up on a search.
Speaking of the NISA boxsets, they are lovely and you should all buy some.
The artbooks are a fantastic touch and the printed artwork is high quality. They had a bad run with Our homes fox Deity volume 2 and promptly replaced it via an online program. I have nothing but great things to say about how they have started out as an anime distributor. I just hope all the expenses don't kill them prematurely.

I thought they said "samba", not "someone". :Xcajunator said:
Yeah, that's true. Either the synopsis is still correct and the anime forgot, the synopsis is based on the novels and the anime changed the story a bit, or the episode chose not to reveal that detail for now.scy said:
That's what I thought so too originally. More sensible and all, but from what's told in the ending credits, that doesn't seem to be the case strangely enough. However, I will say because the Harmonic Divine States is practically a copy of the Divine States, we may very well see dimensional copies of characters.
This also opens the possibility of Horizon returning in some form.
Actually, technically, they are foreigners since they came from the Harmonic Divine States and were never natives to the Divine States world.
As to whether the complication adds anything or not, I say it could if they bother to utilize it as one example above I state above wouldn't be possible any other way without witchcraft.

Everyone keeps saying that it's because there was a sitcom called Working here. No idea if that's actually true though.darkside31337 said:
Fate/zero 2 - Wow I'm actually impressed, this was a really good episode, while I'm still not a fan of the Typemoon dialogue, the way they delivered it here was actually enjoyable with very good character animation and some solid direction, the plotting and setting still remain pretty intriguing (as they were in episode 1) as well. I can't believe it, but i think I'm going stick with this series for the long-run, especially since it has the feeling that some EPIC SHIT is going go down later on.

Persona 4 1:
Meh. Persona 4 is one of my favorite games, but this was a really mediocre adaptation. They rushed through way too much story in one episode, and a lot of important stuff (including just about everything involving Namatame and Mayumi) was left out, which will make the story rather confusing for people who haven't played the game. This really feels like it should have been two episodes rather than one. I also felt like the day transitions from the game felt pretty out of place in the show. It's an idea that works well in games, but feels silly in anime. Still, they used the game's soundtrack well, and there were definitely some scenes that worked well, I just felt like the show was on fast forward way too much. This is a story that needs time to breath.
