I should start watching this...
I do believe this show could possibly be of interest to you.
So awesome, just think of how well animated Ohana's sex hair will be.
I dunno, it's PA Works. I don't expect a huge difference in quality. Just look at their Layton movie. Lolz.

Eru was the best part of this episode.
That's one old-ass dog.

Not the same formula as the last two episodes, but that's not a bad thing for me. The last two main characters also make their appearance and they're cool.
Also, lololol at
Guess I'll just have to get used to the CG dancing.
Looking forward to next week.

Maybe they resolved the sisters' conflict a bit quickly, but Chieri looks to be on the outs with most of them now so it's not over yet.
the in-series Acchan the 13th also graduating. Coincidence? Probably, but it makes you wonder...
Looking forward to next week.
Just watch Precure and you'll be well adjusted to cg dancing!
I watched all of Heartcatch and the first several eps of Smile and was fine with it; the difference is that those are separate ending sequences from the main show and this is switching back and forth between 2D and 3DCG cuts in the same regular scene. It's not bad, just a tad jarring.

"We have a heavy burden"
"The ball is round".
Subtle ways to call a girl fat.
Anyhow lady cartman is adorable vs accel world dude who is just fat and annoying.
The coach still has the best waifu though.

Decent episode. This being a prequel, the conversation between Irisiviel and

Feel bad for Waver and Rider.
And man, Zouken is just pure cartoon fucking evil and that's just fine. :lol

Kerry / Maiya had a special poignancy to it, or a horrible irony, depending on how you look at it. Thought it a pity that the latter went out in such a fashion--but then, she's a normal human in a fucked up magic world. Still, something felt missing there.

into sentimentality--where he can't help but feel--is going to come to a play later on, even if it's just down to the very basic but explicit decision to send Saber back to Iri with a command spell.
Feel bad for Waver and Rider.
It'll be interesting to see the reaction of Saber/Kerry once they have to confront the possibility of the Grail not actually being real. Also shows Rider's mettle as well.

You gotta be trolling if you think that actually looks good, nevermind better than the awesome CG version.
There's a reason why it barely moves and is only used in a dream sequence.
I don't quite understand why
Kiritsugu had to use a command spell to make Saber go back... seems like she wouldn't need to be ordered to do that.

Because it's easier.
Presumably because it would teleport her to the location instant of needing her to drive back. Also, instant contact sans bulky 90's cellbricks.
I believe the Command Spells are also a form of magic which allows you to do something that might not normally be possible. So his "order" helped teleport her immediately, rather than requiring her to travel back physically.
I'll say 86.35%. I measured it. Seems scientific.
Did they establish that command seals can make servants instantly teleport before?
Seems like Kayneth should have used that to make Lancer teleport inbetween Kiritsugu and Sola-Ui before instead of killing himself.

I noticed that with L from Upotte and by that I mean someone else pointed that out to me. I keep my eyes clearly planted on the face at all times. Honest.

Why would that work? Kiritsugu, Saber, and Iri are all combat capable, while Sola-Ui was completely out of it, and Kayneth could no longer use magic. Lancer is a weak Servant who already destroyed on of his own spears. The odds were against him and the only chance he had for survival was to remove himself from the fight - which was the offer Kiritsugu gave him.
What about him?
Explicitly,
only in F/SN, if I remember correctly. It's implied somewhat earlier in the show when Maiya chops off Sola-Ui's arm, though; it wasn't just the possibility of Lancer being able to home in they feared, it was Sola summoning him to her location as well. Otherwise it's just something they assume you'd know.

Can't he poof around with ease? I just assumed being able to poof where ever is a universal servant ability.
The consensus is that overall it is well utilized but certain scenes and vehicles look problematic.
No, it's just an archer thing (archers have more independence than other servants), and I don't think he poofs per se, he just goes invisible.
Well the odds were against him in any case. I guess it depends on how instant the teleporting is. I think Lancer could probably defeat Kiritsugu if he had the jump on him. With Kiritsugu dead, you'd have Saber without a mana source and Iri's morale crushed, who was already close to collapsing. I think rationally it would definitely be the better option, but Kayneth wasn't really thinking rationally or he would never have agreed to terms so full of loopholes.

Been enjoying the anime adaption quite a bit. Stuff just... flows.

nodazombie!
Servants can disappear when they don't need to take a physical form, but I don't think they actually instantly teleport.
I can't really think of any situation where that would actually work though. It's not like Kiritsugu is stupid either, so if Kayneth tried to use a Command Spell to do anything other than what he said, he would have just killed Sola-Ui, and then Kayneth. He would risk Lancer going to another Master, but it would be a minor loss.
Like I said, it all depends on how fast the teleportation actually works. Kayneth isn't enough of a quick thinker to plan something like that, though.

That plan could have possibly worked, it's just not something Kayneth thought of. He was panicked and afraid of dying. And who knows if Kiri puts a bullet in his head before Lancer could even save him.
Still wouldn't matter because Kiritsugu would just pop bullet time. Only reason he didn't just shoot Sola and Kayneth on sight was to eliminate Lancer as well.
Admittedly this is starting to enter the typical type-moon "can shiki kill servants" territory.

In a few hours I'll be able to watch AKBZeroZeroFourtyEight. Hopefully it will be fuck-awful.
Wtf? Tsukihim x Fate? I don't think I want to know.

You can't take it too seriously, especially since if you take the VN and Nasu literally, servants move faster than the speed of sound and other such nonsense.

Tasogare Otome 7 - When did this turn into a (better) Persona 4?
Fate/Zero Ep1 is great. Fate/Zero_Ep1_Defenders represent!!
Present and reporting for duty!
Welcome to Nasuverse power level discussions. Enjoy your stay.
Well if there's one thing that the series makes clear it's that
Kayneth is extremely bad at thinking outside the box.
Kiritsugi can't enter bullet time if he's not yet aware of Lancer, which is why I said the speed of teleportation is what matters.
But yeah this is getting really geeky really fast.

I'm thinking specifically about the anime though. If the whole point of the anime is to just promote the manga, then there's really no grander plan. But the fact that they brought in all the characters from the original series just to say a few lines (and presumably pay the actors to do so) makes me wonder if there isn't something planned down the pipeline.
Unless Japan is like America where the voice actors can literally phone in their performances to the studio.
It has strong women!
Has the writer of Saki ever written awful movie scripts for other franchises and then blamed the director for the results?
