i can tell you this much. i absolutely did not remotely consider voting for the right last time, and was heartbroken when trump won, but it’s precisely people like you that are the reason i will insist on voting right for every election going forwards for no other reason than gently caress you. so if you shitheads are ever wondering why you’re living under republican congressman, senators, mayors, presidents, etc, moving forwards, you really shouldn’t wonder.

if i have to deal with people like you as the price of forgoing tax breaks, then i may as well take my tax breaks and enjoy them. the upcoming tax bills all look excellent for my family and i, regardless of whether its the house version or the senate version (though the house version looks best)

and for the record, i’m asian. gently caress your affirmative action by the way
all those republican senators that have won recent elections

This definitely felt like they were trying to make the episode look as stylin' as possible with limited resources, and you know what it worked.

The Karna fight looked spectacular, shame it was tied to seeing the strongest dude get chumped by the most boring protag.

On the other hand, it's impressive just how hard Sieg had to tilt the scales to his favour to be able to barely win.

1) The time limit. This is probably the biggest factor here, had it not been there, Karna would've had no reason to use Vasavi Shakti as he was already winning and he tries not to use too much mana normally - though he might've done so anyways in the interest of a good fight.
2) Command Spells. Beyond the obvious need to transform himself, Sieg used another Spell to power up Balmung, and even there that wasn't enough to match Karna's sheer power. Karna had no such help since Shirou was occupied on his own plans, not like he needed it.
3) Astolfo coming in with a clutch Noble Phantasm, not even his own, a ridiculously powerful shield that created an entire world - and even that got the shield completely destroyed and Astolfo hurt for trying.

It's really easy to see how things would've gone without any of that. Remove the time limit and Karna never uses Vasvi Shakti in the interest of conserving mana since he's already matching or beating his opponent at every turn. Without using Vasavi Shakti, he never loses Kavacha and Kundala, granting him massive defenses. Sieg can't break that in time as Siegfried, reverts, and then gets burnt to ashes. Remove the Command Spell (or balance it with another on Karna's side) and Sieg's Balmung gets overpowered by Brahmastra Kundala. Remove the last and...well, Anti-Divine Noble Phantasm. I doubt even ashes remain after getting hit by that.

Karna is kind of awesome.

also this definitely shows the different mo of ufotable and a1. ufotable keeps to their distinct style, whereas a1 is a more conventional studio, always temping some new animator to work on a particular set of cuts

whoever's in charge of production has been on point, the director has storyboarded them months ago and the animators must have been working on those cuts for this entire time

a1 grabbing random animators that plug in random moments of extreme sakuga in their shows is the best thing, i have no idea why they make digibro so mad

because digibro is a dumb fucko who only views a studio as far as them having made a show he don't like

a1 does have actual issues with their structure making it pretty easy to gently caress over animators but that's not the thing anyone ever actually crits them for so

also he doesnt even actually watch their shows. he acted like cinderella girls was a blandly animated comedy and not something with a talented, underrated director making really effective use of framing, and lots of really well-done and expressive character animation.

I like it more then Sieg vs Karna, has more weight to it. Not to say that Sieg/Karna was bad because it also has some fantastic moments and is very pretty.

Sorry, that's actually best girl powerful and manly knight of the round table, Mordred. You can tell by the red scrunchie and the chicken, which I think Mordred was eating earlier in the series

Also, I read this from Type-Moon:

quote:

Saber was originally going to be male like the legend, but it was thought that having two male characters look feminine, the other being Rider of Black, was too much.
I've never been so disappointed in a nerdy legendary-heroes-fight company before.

You can find it at Sakugabooru but be warned that it's split up in little clips that encapsulate certain animations in the fight and there's no audio. Check out the tags shingo_yamashita and norio_matsumoto.

So.....questions:

Why was Atalanta modeled as a cat that transforms into a demon/bat? Wasn't she raised by bears?

Why does Achilles call her "nee-san"? I don't know of any material that has the two of them adventuring together or even meeting. Herc, I could understand because of the whole Argonauts thing. But Achilles?

Also, these last two episodes have made up a lot for the drudging pace of the rest of the show. (But not completely.)

Atalanta has the cat features due to how her myth generally ends. Some time after the whole thing with the golden apples, Aphrodite didn't feel Hippomenes had given her enough recompense for them and thus cursed Hippomenes and Atalanta to gently caress in the temple of some major god(dess) or another (it varies by source). They were transformed into lions for this sacrilege (which of course wasn't their fault, but this is Greek mythology and the Greek gods we're talking about here).

As mentioned, her pelt is that of the Calydonian Boar, and basically drastically amps her stats while effectively turning her into a Berserker.

Achilles calls Atalanta "nee-san" because that's what you call a young adult woman when you're not using their name. He's effectively calling her "Miss".
