Fate/Stay Night

Re: Fate/Stay Night

Yay, so I finally caught up in watching this... to be rewarded with the pain of a big ol' cliffhanger.

There was one thing that had me confused though. After Rin "killed" Berserker once, Ilya said he still had 7 lives left. If Archer killed him 5 times... uhhh, 5 + 1 + 7 != 12.

o_o?

Re: Fate/Stay Night

I too detest the CG dragon although it made me lol.

I'm glad I played through the whole game once to compare/contrast etc. So far I like what they did with UBW.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

I saw the misquote with the number of lives left as well.

The only thing I could think of is that Ilya is trying to make it seem harder than it is.

Whatever... I already ruined the show for myself so I don't really care to analyze it or anything =(

Re: Fate/Stay Night

=( Was the spoiler really that bad? To ruin the entire thing from now on? Ouch...

I doubt it was Ilya trying to make it seem harder; if she wanted to do that, she probably could have said he had all 11 lives left after that and Archer had just been massacred without killing any. They didn't witness his fight, so they wouldn't know if Ilya was lying or anything about it being 5 lives. They just know he stayed alive for a good amount of time. (Or for that matter, she didn't even have to explain the 12 lives thing. She could have told some lie about how he was impossible to kill because he would always regenerate... that would make it seem hopeless, if that was her goal.)

It was probably just an error on someone's part, and not a plot point. Seems kind of careless, though. >_>

Re: Fate/Stay Night

12 lives granted by 12 tasks of Heracles + original life = 13 lives total.

13 - 5 - 1 = 7

Either that, or the producers simply screwed up. Not a big deal if they did, really.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

I started watching this show one week ago, and I'm drooling. This easily filled up the sad gap of seeing Shakugan no Shana end. I simply can't wait for the game.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

HAhahaha I beat Kefit to posting about the latest episode.

Looks like you're in luck on the next episode for justifying that purchase.

Well, in any event, I knew this episode would be coming sooner or later. I guess they chose a good time to do it so they can have a rise, then fall, then climax at the end like all other anime does.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

Hmm, another slow episode. Art and animation were down, and the takedown of Berserker wasn't as impressive as I had hoped it would be. The entire second half of the episode was kind of boring too, although Ilya being officially added to the harem makes for some good fun.

End of the episode rocks my world, of course. I was like "oh my god could it be could it be GOD ****ING DAMMIT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT RIN ARGH oh wait YESYESYES REST OF SERIES NOW PLZ" :>

Hmm, aside from that I don't really have much to say about this episode, I guess - it simply cannot compare to the amazing quality of the last two.

You will be waiting for a while. Although a group has started work on translating the game, it is probably two to three years away from completion.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

It's all falling into place now.

At least I get how the relationship between Caster and Assassin works now. That was one of the spoilers that made no sense to me at first.

Edit: Removed words that could potentially make Kefit angry at me for saying.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

Thanks for being understanding of my wishes Squeek. That being said...

Sakura <3<3<3

Yeah so this episode won with me, although the fight against Kuzuki-sensei wasn't quite as fantastic as it could have been - the animation only reached the high standards set by this show at the very end of the fight, but that little bit was still awesome.

God dammit I don't want to wait a week for episode 18 :<

Re: Fate/Stay Night

WHILE WAITING~~

I found a game for Fate/stay night. *_* (No, not the hentai one XP )

It's a fighting game. Fan-made, but it's very well done. It's called FATAL/FAKE. You can see a little video of it in action here, but it allegedly doesn't show a lot of the cool flashy moves.

The official site of the game is here. They have a trial version up for download, but it is pretty limited. There is *cough* a full version up on the interwebs somewhere, *cough* in a torrent. You totally did not hear that from me though, and I most definitely did not download it myself either, so you certainly cannot PM me for the link if you ever had such a strange idea.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

I have no real idea of what happened during the second half of this episode. It seems that Sakura and Rin knew eachother in the past, but beyond that I am clueless (this isn't an invitation to fill me in, by the way - there is always the chance that the show will do that for me in a later episode).

That being said, Saber vs Assassin is the most amazing anime sword fight I have ever seen.

But dammit, if that is the extent of dark Sakura that this series presents, then I will be rather miffed =/

ps Sakura needs to spend the rest of the series in that leather outfit

Re: Fate/Stay Night

At what point did Saber stop using her invis sword? Did that happen prior to the Kuzuki street fight?

[Squeek]

Re: Fate/Stay Night

I believe at this point she is using the sword made for her.

I noticed the same thing, so that's the assumption I came up with as I saw it.

Well, I'm glad the spoilers said nothing of the events of the story, but... I don't know if they're going to get to them all in the remaining 5 episodes.

AND WHERE THE CRAP IS LANCER HUH.

Re: Fate/Stay Night

I hear that Lancer will do something important. I have no idea what though. About the only thing I have to go off of is that he was spying on Saber vs Assassin way back in episode 9, and that really doesn't tell us anything.

I expect next week's episode to be all about GILGAMESH though - well, once Shirou and friends find a way to take down Caster + teacher.

Anyway, the only real question on my mind about this series now is if it can outdo Saber vs Assassin. I wouldn't be all that surprised if it never manages to do so.
