Here's a Youtube version of the video, BTW:

TVアニメ「Fatestay night」PV第2弾(AnimeJapan公開PV ブラッシュアップ版) Full HD


Is it just the same as the other PV? It looks like it. Certainly there is nothing particularly informative in there.

If I was able to find a decent Ode to Joy video on short notice, I'd so be linking it right now. Because dear god, yeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss.

(For Mike, HF is getting a movie btw, so there's still a reason for you to be happy too.)

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~

Hmm, I'm actually really surprised at this. I was expecting them to do something like attempting to merge the routes to satisfy the people from Zero. I wouldn't be surprised if they at least attempt to add some more Saber stuff to UBW, though, (although, then, Saber isn't exactly ignored in UBW), and they might also somewhat cover Sakura as part of Rin's story, although the HF film means they don't necessarily need to deal with her situation entirely.

It's awesome that they're finally actually going to do HF. I hope they go with the True end, though, the Normal end is just depressing. And, I also hope they make it long enough that it doesn't turn out to be a horribly-rushed abomination like the UBW movie did.

No thread for it, and the info was released alongside this news, so:

Fate/Strange Fake seems to be getting a LN.
Fate/Grand Order is an RPG not unlike Apocrypha was going to be. The site shows Saber, Joan, and "Stray Servant" (Shield Girl): http://www.fate-go.jp/

It no longer seems, like I had theorized, that Stray Servant is Ajax-ko, but instead is connected to "1888, Knight of Londium" - Order of St. John? Queen Victoria? Princess Louise? Don't know, but she's the one I'm interested in.

Oh man, I'm so excited about this.

UBW just seems like, if done right, could be a stand-alone.  Like you wouldn't need to have watched Zero before going into it, but if you have then there's all the neat call backs.  (Especially when the whole Kiritsugu/Shirou/Archer situation comes to light.)

Well, UBW doesn't actually follow on from Zero all that much, aside from the focus on Shirou's ideal (which is common to all three routes). It is very much a stand-alone thing, which is possibly why they're also doing HF, to give more resolution to Zero stuff.

Well, since they are adding stuff, it wouldn't be too hard to make it a sequel of sorts to Zero.

Not to mention UBW Saber is closer to Zero Saber than Fate.  In Fate you just see her get dickmitized by Shirou and she loses her regal awesomeness.

I don't think they can really make it a Zero sequel. UBW doesn't really deal with Ilya, Sakura or Kotomine in any significant manner, which means that a large chunk of the Zero side-plots will be left out (and, as a result, Rin's character development is also incomplete). And, I don't really see how they can add any of those things to UBW without significant changes, which are unlikely given that all three are covered in HF. The HF movie is likely to be far more of a sequel to Zero than the UBW anime.

And, whilst UBW Saber is perhaps "closer" to Zero Saber than Fate Saber is, I don't think that's really the point. The point of Saber's development is for her to go from "I'm a total failure of a King who needs to sell myself into eternal slavery at the hands of the world in order to erase myself from existence" like she is in Zero to "actually, yeah, I should just accept what happened and move on", and that development isn't so clear in UBW as it is in Fate.

There are elements that tie in from Zero in UBW.  Mainly Kiritsigu's dream and the continuation of it as seen with the Shirou and Archer paradox.  Not to mention, there have been theories elsewhere, that in UBW they might have Rin being the one who kills Kotomine.  Which would give closure to Rin on that front.

And, whilst UBW Saber is perhaps "closer" to Zero Saber than Fate Saber is, I don't think that's really the point.

The development is still pretty clear in UBW.  The problem with Fate is that the "romance" just completely defangs Saber.  In UBW she isn't defanged.  She makes the realization through Shirou and Archer.  She finds a kindred spirit in them and through their answer she finds their own.  Which also ties back to the Saber and Kerry clash in Zero.

Sure, admittedly, HF is more of a "continuation" of Zero (which is probably why they're making the HF movie or movies), but UBW is a continuation for Kerry's ideal.

Yeah, there are elements of Zero that are covered in UBW (which is true for all three routes), but I think that there are a lot of elements that aren't and can't really be.

Honestly, I find that unlikely. Rin killing Kotomine would necessitate changing the story around somewhat, given that she was tied to a chair at the time in the original VN, and I don't get the impression that they intend to make significant changes to the flow of the story.

Yeah, I guess. I think a reasonable amount of Saber's character development is glossed over in UBW, but that's mostly because it was covered in Fate already. I wouldn't be surprised to see them add stuff about Saber's past as extra scenes.

Well, both UBW and HF act as a continuation to the "Kiritsugu's ideal" stuff, in different ways. But, honestly, UBW Shirou doesn't take up Kiritsugu's ideal. If you dumped UBW Shirou in HF around the time of MoS, I don't think he'd go down the MoS path, I think he'd give Sakura a chance. UBW Shirou accepts that he might have to kill sometimes, and that he can't save everyone, but he doesn't ever take up Kiritsugu's purely Utilitarian attitude to people. He still wants to save everyone, and I think he'd be very reluctant to kill someone who wasn't acting to harm others of their own free will.

Very excited for HF

Yeah, it's good that we're finally getting a HF adaptation. I just hope they don't rush it like Deen did with UBW, though. I personally think it needs ~6 hours to do it properly, but a little less might be OK if it's done well.
