Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works Anime

[Cherry Lover]

Apparently there's a bit of new information out (dunno if anyone has a bigger copy of this image). Apparently:

- original scenes that complement the content of the original story are fully written by Nasu.
- there will be scenes that that switch on the point of view other than Shiro's.
- there will be also the new scene of conversation between Kirei and Gilgamesh.
- a new scene for those who know "Fate/Zero" which subtly ties both work together.
- Takeuchi wanted them to adapt all routes, now is pissed that Saber's route didn't get anime.

I wonder what the Fate/Zero thing means. What could subtly tie them together?

Also, lol at Takeuchi being pissed.

Well that seals it, new adaptations can go fuck themselves for all I care.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Yeah how dare they, uh... add content written by the original author?

Totally see where you're coming from. Makes perfect sense.

[lantzblades]

Not the issue I have names. It's the lack of fate (I caved and got Netflix for my dad, watched it and liked it) fate zero really did a great emotional set up and unfortunately all of what they set up (not to mention the core of shirou's character) can only be properly resolved in fate, without that resolution and understanding UBW and HF are hollow.

[KAIZA]

Well, that's some nice news for the adaptation. Probably some of those could be Saber scenes to help with her development after Zero.

Also, lantz, you don't like how the adaptation is being done; fine by me. Just please don't start with the drama.

[lantzblades]

I thought my explanation was rather fare handed Kaiza. But fine dude, whatever you say.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Oh, you're one of THOSE guys.

Heroic ideal and what it means to be such a person(which was greatly explored in Zero with Kiri): handled best in UBW
Shirou choosing an alternative to Kiritsugu's path, which he learns in-route, Kotomine and Kiritsugu (Zero duo), and also some of ^: in HF

Fate barely touches the ideal, the biggest connecting point between Kiritsugu and Shirou, while doing its best to Defang Saber and to lessen the presence of Kiritsugu & Kotomine as actual characters, the duo from Zero.

It has the weakest connection to Zero.

[lantzblades]

I'm not going to get into this as Kaiza doesn't want drama. I'm only back to correct you names. You have completely misunderstood my point. You're not even in the right field here.

Fate does not resolve everything that was set-up in Zero, not by a long shot. HF is more of a sequel to Zero than Fate is. As for Shirou's character, you're right that Fate does set it up somewhat, but I'd expect the UBW anime to cover that perfectly fine. I don't see anything that absolutely needs Fate for the set-up to work.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

You said the only way to resolve a bunch of stuff from zero and for Shirou was in Fate, and that without that resolution UBW and HF are hollow.

To which I said no dude, Fate resolves the least from Zero and does the least for Shirou.

[lantzblades]

Sorry Names but you don't understand.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

sick counterargument bro, you sure showed me the error of my ways

[lantzblades]

Kaiza said no drama Names. So this is as much as I can do. I'm sorry that it seems dismissive, however if I start up I'm going to get mad because of how much is wrong with this choice. As such I can only refrain from discussion here.

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Unlike the very idea of Fate being a good Zero tie-in route, I can understand that.

Peace out, and keep it real.

New stuff that's not from Shirou's POV, eh? Maybe we'll get those Lancer scenes I mentioned after all. Or more stuff following Rin around besides the prologue stuff. That'd be pretty awesome. And while I'm kinda "meh" about Zero as of right now, I'm glad they're taking the time to tie the two together. Smoother continuity is always nice.

...I have to admit, I find Takeuchi's reaction amusing as well. Some things are universal everywhere it seems, even towards the top of the production line.
