UBW Blu Ray Q&A
Kiritsugu_Emiya:
How the fuck did Saber kick Herk's ass in episode 3 would be my question.
Kaze:
How did Saber whoop Herk?
How did Shirou and Rin not get their organs squishied by Kuzuki?
Why did Kuzuki and Caster run from Saber after he already beat her?
Why does Saber have minimal importance at best after her rather significant role in Zero?
To name a few. While the latter two make sense if you've read the source material, as a standalone anime I had expected Ufo to expand on the route and make it more capable of standing on its own outside of the VN.

You could ask the same question about Sakura, though, with the same answer (well, that plus the HF movie...).

Why ask questions where the answer is just going to be "read the VN"? Particularly the third one, since the fourth one is more a question of why they decided not to add to Saber's role in UBW.
It's also not possible to make the UBW anime "stand on its own". Even if it were to include more Saber stuff, it would still ignore HF.
SINIB:
It doesn't need to include HF stuff to be a stand alone anime. It just needs to tell its own self contained story, or at least build upon where zero left off. So far they've largely failed, and have more or less just done a completely straight adaptation of the route, sans some internal dialouging and herk vs saber.
Furthermore, Sakura was a side plot in Zero, while Saber was one of the main characters, and had a good amount of characterization and development in Fate/Zero, while now she's just a cute girl who fights occasionally. While that was fine in the visual novel, where we had just finished Fate, it is extremely jarring to an anime only viewer who's coming straight off Zero.

It doesn't need to include Saber either. UBW is a perfectly self-contained story without Saber being anything more than "girl who fights".

No, Sakura is not just a damn "sub-plot", she's important in Zero as well, and Saber is just there to fight for Kiritsugu anyway. There's absolutely no reason Saber should be given priority, and I'm astounded that you of all people are suggesting it.

And it's jarring for someone coming off of Zero to see Sakura's situation totally ignored as well. Doesn't mean they're going to cover it.
