This is so much worse than I imagined. Refreshingly so. I just assumed this show would be about the moefication of guns, but it's actually about girls in school who get turned on when they think about their teacher holding them in his big strong hands. It's creepy gun porn on a level that I could never imagine until this day.

The level of fanservice was impressive as well, I hadn't imagined that it would be quite so direct.

Yes, she's talking about what you think she's talking about.

This should be watched by absolutely no-one. Ban this sick filth.

Ban Anime.

(this show looks way better than Medexa Box).

I didn't get my fix for horrible things from NTHT, maybe I should try this.

Hot.

Really predictable eps... but still fun stuff!

I dont see how a pants suit is worst than a super short skirt, based on gruir's comment.

The dialogue in the episode suggests that

Spoiler

Kiritsugu was not 100% certain that the person he was shooting is Caster's master. Remember, no one has seen Ryuunosuke with Caster, except maybe the Assassins. It was a guess based on the way he was acting, so he went for a non-lethal first shot presumably so the bystander wouldn't die if he turned out to be wrong about it. When the monster stopped the moment Ryuunosuke was shot, Kiritsugu knew it was the right person, and went for the kill.

This actually makes it pretty disturbing if you think about it. Kiritsugu was willing to risk shooting an innocent bystander who was acting a little crazy, just to stop Caster.

Is that how it went down in the LN? If it is that is pretty scary. But then again you have to think of how Kiritsugu thinks. As long as he reaches the end, which is all he cares about, he WILL do anything. I mean, think of the children back in S1. Clearly it wasn't part of his objective whereas Saber disagrees.

I don't know anything about the LNs. But that's what the dialogue in the show itself suggested. Pay attention!

HNNNNNNNNNNNG!!

Needs the ones from Carnival Phantasm, especially the one where she sent Berserker out for batteries.

Spoiler

She had one sweet gaming setup.

 

[DiGiKerot]

Funimation have just announced that they're doing the Lupin simulcast. Good for those in the US, I guess.

Hmm... I actually already watched it 3 times but I guess I didn't get it. Kiritsugu is a pretty scary man. I actually respect that he's so well grounded on his ideals and in reality.

The novel version of the scene plays this out a bit differently, as

Spoiler

Kiritsugu was using an infrared scope to find people with unusual heat signatures near the riverbank, which was a good indicator of people with active magic circuits. There's no indication that the monster actually stops, so Kiritsugu actually gets no confirmation whatsoever that he made the right choice.

Either way, the implications you saw are still there.

Nah... my interpretation was cooler!

Spoiler

From the typical 'final speech' character narrative standpoint, he had to see what he has searched for on himself (his own guts).

And I know that what you say is probably it, man.

 

[duckroll]

Spoiler

He calls Maiya back after killing Ryuunosuke, and comments that they were right about who the master was. That's a clear implication that he wasn't certain before that, which probably explains why he didn't shoot to kill immediately.

 

[cajunator]

My mother actually was watching episode 1 of Fate Zero with me. She saw

Spoiler

the scene with loli-Sakura in the wormpit

. Fortunately she just said "well that man is very evil" and nothing worse came of it.

Bottom line, my Mother is awesome.

Am glad, also that mirai nikki will get home video release.

A friends been bugging me to see lupin, guess i have no choice.

 

[Jex]

Look, I'm sorry, I don't want people to watch Upotte. I'm trying to warn you all.

This isn't one of those situations where I tell you how about how bad it is to try and get you to watch it - this is just a warning! How else can I put it?

Ah. If you put it that way then yeah. I couldn't tell because I had to watch on non-fullscreen but he was on a boat, right?

So Upotte receives the same ringing non-endorsement that you gave to Mardock Scramble? Good to know.

So this is the new mandatory Animu-GAF hazing ritual anime?

No, they summon guns out of thin air, not transform.

But, like, they're innards are apparently mechanical. I don't get it. I don't want to get it. I want it go away.

My question is: If the girls themselves are guns, why do they also fire guns?

If you really didn't want people to watch this, you wouldn't post about it!

 

[3Kaze]

No action animation in the new Fate/Zero opening, uh? It was still good though. The pictures from the ending are pretty nice too.

 

[Jex]

The worst thing about this whole thing is, these images barely describe the horror that lies within.

 

[kayos90]

The ending was amazing. I was actually hoping that each episode ending would focus on different masters. This week would be Iri and Kiritsugu. Next week is another. Etc.

Yes, it's a very interesting contrast from the S1 OP/ED. I was encouraging Jex to do a comparison between the OPs so we have something good to discuss, but instead he keeps posting about Upotte.

 

[cajunator]

Because thats not REALISTIC. Gosh.

You only fanned the flames I told you. You have an evil plan and I see right through it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to watch Upotte.

Upotte 1

Have you ever felt like your hammer was about to go off?

So, I get that Germans are supposed to be cold, emotionless robot automatons. But why do they have to wear eyepatches as well?!

I should have stuck with this kind of post. It's so reserved. Then I wouldn't have led so many people to such a bad place

You know, if you wanted to watch a good show about little girls there is Milky Holmes.

I wanted to watch a very, very bad show. I succeeded.

 

[InsaneZero]

The ending was amazing. I was actually hoping that each episode ending would focus on different masters. This week would be Iri and Kiritsugu. Next week is another. Etc.

Judging from the focus of both the OP and ED, I doubt that the ED is a rotating thing. But who knows?

I do like how the ED depicts the events from the Drama CD, though. Very melancholic.

 

[darkside31337]

Oh yes, loliball. I forgot about that.

 

[duckroll]

I like how the EDs match the music really well too. The ED1 song laments days gone by and the time spent with someone in the past, and the visuals reflect that, showing the historical lives of the servants. The ED2 song is a total love song which matches the tone of the Kiritsugu/Irisviel relationship really well, and the visuals reflect that too.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I wanted others to die fighting for my impressions, Jex. But your words can lead any man to the front lines!

Gun moe, here I come!

 

[Steroyd]

No, they summon guns out of thin air, not transform.

That's not the impression I got when the girl was fantasizing about those huge hands holding her barrel and pulling the trigger.

The audio is a standout. I enjoyed all of the OP and ED so far. Really good stuff. Plus I enjoy Iri+Kiritisugu. Very charming stuff.

I watched it before Jex started advertising it to the rest of you all.

Just read that sentence back to yourself, slowly. In the thousands of years that mankind has walked this earth no-one has been able to write such a line until Upotte came around.

I was wrong, icarus, original ideas do exist.

I downloaded some, you can do that these days.
