Bless UFOTable.

Too bad their directing pool ain't so hot. Fate/Zero anime was mostly good because of the source material and strong production values on a lot of things, but good lord it had so many questionable directing and storyboarding choices.

And I hear that the guy directing the new FSN series is the one who did KnK 6, an utter clusterfuck. I can forgive it a little for butchering the source material since the original chapter was a real slog but good god that movie was bad. There was like no internal consistency and so on.

SO

Hollow Ataraxia is finished. Or rather, it's fully translated but hideously unedited, apparently. The story I'm being told is that one of the people on the project was so frustrated by the lack of progress, he just checked to make sure there were no more moonrunes and uploaded it.

Gonna need sauce on that.

>>89212
Nanoha With Type Moon References.

>>89218
At least Nanoha is good sometimes.

>>89269
>Heaven's Feel is a movie
How the fuck would that work, even cutting out the stuff about cooking and the rapey/sex bits?

>>89270
Make it be nothing but the last day.

So who's doing the music? I don't recognize it.

What's the deal with the Fate/Grand Cross thingy? What Apocrypha was originally planned to be?

Apocrypha was always called Apocrypha, it was just originally an MMO.

Ah, so Fate/Strange Fake is being made into a full project of some kind, hopefully still written by Narita. As for the return of Apocrypha's original form, that's called Fate/Grand Order and is some kind of online mobile game.

Gee they're really spreading themselves too thin with all this new Fate stuff. Even without the usual anti-dairy naysayers there's the danger of the series running out of steam with all these spinoffs.

Well Grand Order is just a mobile game so who cares, and aside of DRRR I don't think Narita can make bad things.

I DO hope that the next TM announcement we get is something not Fate related though, unless that Fate announcement is "Western Release of CCC and/or the actual VNs."

>>89298
What's wrong with DRRR aside from the chuuni-tastic K/Mekaku City setting? Most of the problems I had were with the crummy anime and from what I hear the books are much better. I'd have thought his Kenpachi Stu fanfiction was more objectionable.

>>89300
I've never read the books. Not even for Baccano ;_;

Bump.
With something!

So do we know who's doing the music for the F/SN remake yet? It doesn't sound like Kajiura's work.

Apparently both the first and second episodes of Unlimited Blade Works are going to be an hour long. To me that says they're doing both Rin and Shirou's prologues.

Field reports from the Lost Angeles premiere say that the director has gotten better about exposition scenes so that they aren't just people sitting around and talking for those that were bothered by that. Or, I presume, walking around in circles, which even I'll admit was ridiculous.

>>89816
That's because it's a different guy to begin with. It's the director of KnK Movie 6, which suffered from being a clusterfuck deviations from the canon that were sloppy and full of self-induced potholes to the extreme, but the actual storyboarding and pacing were OK otherwise.

>>89817
Oh I thought Aoki was doing this and Aldnoah. Forget what I said then!

>>89820
He's doing Aldnoah but not this.

Also that ruled (oh Rodyle liked TM thing act surprised), though there's things about the prologue that really come off as odd in retrospect. Like Lancer thinking Bloodfort Andromeda seems awesome and going right for the defenseless Rin.

OP is pretty good. I like Saber's jacket.

There's a couple pretty by the numbers bits to that OP, particularly the bit where Shirou does the fucking grasp the sky thing. But boy am I on board with everything from Saber suiting up on!

I particularly find the joke about Rider at the end there hilarious. Hopefully the episode itself is just as good.

What's the deal with scar and jacket Saber? Haven't dug into the anime yet cuz I don't feel like sitting through two hours of exposition I already know, but I'm assuming it's something she was wearing in the promo art, and I'm guessing gym all the jacket Shirou is a redesign as well.

>>90045
Yeah Shirou's design got updated for the new anime. Not sure if I like it though. Sure his previous design was kind of simplistic but it carried the casual air of the home scenes well enough. My brother has a shirt just like that so it's definitely the kind of reasonable normal wear people that age would have.

>>90050
It's not as if the jacket is especially strange looking either. I think I one a lot like it, actually.

It's just because it's supposed to be Winter in Fuyuki so everyone's clothing got changed.

Zero fans are pretty terrible.

Got 100% completion in Hollow. That game is about 50 hours long and fucking great for most of it, Baz and Avenger are fantastic. Karen's not actually that great in most of her showings but she's got a pretty good bit at the end.

Oh god they did an even better job with Kuzuki than I hoped.

>>90493

I really wish I knew someone who was going into the anime blind just so I could see them go through the WAIT WHAT? WHAT? OH MY GOOOOOOOOD reaction everyone who read the VN had.

I can't say I saw this coming.

>>90596
It's a pretty good song when you've got a competent singer doing the vocals.

Apparently Silver Link is going to adapt Red Dragon, that tabletop campaign with Nasu, Uro, Narita, and some others.

It's back, now with an underwhelming op and even more Rin gifs.

I marathoned Kara no Kyoukai recently. And I only have one question: is murder an emotion?

>>91264
Murderous intent, maybe.

I mostly like the original material this episode (although Sella and Leysrit ;_;) but I do wonder why Caster used so much power for a guy who's such a joke compared to her.

God just fuck Gil and this weird habilitation he's somehow gotten over the years.

The Strange/Fake manga seems cool, shame we're only getting one volume a year. Well the LN is getting 2 volumes a year so maybe Reiu or someone will pick it up.

I'm wondering if they're going to keep use the Realta Nua or the VN interpretation of the H scenes more. RN turned them into bloodsucking, and it probably doesn't matter whether they do that or change it to implied sex with a fade to black, but other stuff like the part where Shinji tries to rape Sakura and her known history of sexual abuse has more impact that whatever RN censored it with. Fate/Zero already made that clear, no point in backpedaling on it.

New chapter of the Strange Fake manga dropped, that shit still owns bones.

Shaft's making a Fate Extra series and HF will be 3 movies starting in 2017

How is Fate/Apocrypha anyway? Writing and plot wise. The final thing seems less otakubait than how it started off as, Extra/Extella and Grand Order have already taken that up.

Anyway first movie is out in October and is called Presage Flower because nothing in Type Moon can into proper English.

the internet is a scary thing.

Apocrypha is kinda cool, I'm a big fan of Mordred and Caster of Black in particular.

Grand Order is actually stuffed to the girls with cool shit, shame that the wrapper is a mobage.

Fate GO is a pretty good joke.

Well now that it's in English I'm forcing myself through GO.

I really hate Marie's hat.

>>93930
Man why do most of the designs suck so fucking much? Few of the 'sexy' girls are even sexy at all because they tried way too hard.

I've said this over on /a/nime and I'll say it here. I'm glad I didn't get into the Fate franchise at an earlier point, otherwise I'd feel kinda sad at the direction the franchise has been going. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Fate franchise, but I'm not a huge fanatical fan either.

>>93931
You just looked for the best hat you could find and said "Yup, someone probably hates any hat this great?"

>>93937
Your just jealous that your hat isn't that nice.
