Lamquin posted:I remember watching Fate/Stay night when it was airing in 2006, but other than that I'm clueless about the whole series! Fate/Zero was written with the intent of being standalone, so you should be fine. Besides, the F/SN anime will do jack squat to prepare you for this, since that is only an adaptation of the first third of the actual plot, and F/Z draws heavily from the last third. But if you were going to read the VN at any point you might want to do that now, since F/Z will spoil significant plot points without mercy.

BlitzBlast posted:Really though, I'm kind of just wondering whether Kotomine really tried to kill Irisviel, and Avalon kept her alive until Saber came, or if he just shanked her and left. Kotomine just shanked her and left. He did it mostly to keep any pursuers distracted. Anyhow, Avalon did nothing for Shirou until after Saber was summoned. After all, it's last use was 10 years ago, and it used up all of the mana then.

Ionioi Hetairoi was goddamn boss. Also, am I the only one that noticed that Tokiomi makes no appearance in this episode despite having a line in the episode preview? Probably a scene that'll be added back in for the Blu-rays.

So apparently, the blu-rays are out. With it comes a translated booklet containing several interviews with various members of the ufotable staff regarding the many aspects of the Fate/Zero adaptation. If you've got a wallet to burn (or just google the scans), I recommend that you guys read it, because it's a really fascinating read. It also contains story details about the second season (not explicit enough to spoil anything, but enough info for LN readers to figure out what's being referred to).

Neo_Crimson posted:^^That reminds me of how much better Berserker would have looked if he wasn't CGI. According to the staff interview from the Fate/Zero blu-ray box, it was because Berserker has a black haze effect surrounding him that did not mesh well with traditional animation at all. So what the staff ended up doing was first animating Berserker normally, then applying the CG on top of the animation, then applying the haze effect.

Neo_Crimson posted:Personally I think trying to convey "indistinct and otherworldly" with CGI and a black DBZ aura is a bad stylistic choice, but that's just me. Actually, the actual reason for the black haze is to depict that there's something surrounding Berserker that's hiding its identity, but it was rather difficult to depict that with traditional animation since there's no sense of depth. It would simply look pasted over instead.

So, I've been looking up on who in ufotable has been doing what for Fate/Zero, and I've noticed that while Fate/Zero does look great, several of their more notable animators have been conspicuously absent thus far. People like Tetsuya Takeuchi (Yuri Seijin Naoko-san) and Takayuki Hirao (Kara no Kyoukai: Paradox Spiral, Gyo) have minimal to almost nonexistent presence in this anime up to this point. Judging from the interview included in the blu-rays and several observations made from other forums, it seems the primary focus of Fate/Zero in terms of visuals is not based upon traditional animation, but rather the usage of digital photography and CGI. Specially, the usage of the latter to simulate a virtual camera, which would be used similarly to live-action cinematography. You can see examples of this plastered all over the second OP, with the camera pans and zooms near the beginning, the lighting in the shots of Fuyuki, and the shot behind the motocycle near the end. This isn't anything necessarily important to most people, but I thought it was interesting when somebody pointed that out to me.

DerLeo posted:I can't say I know much about traditional animation: they're basically acting as if they're a film crew with a camera, instead of just doing whatever, right? Yeah, that's pretty much the gist. The backgrounds and props were probably 3D environments originally, to achieve this effect.

Sanguinia posted:You're entitled to your opinion and everything, but I don't get why people keep saying these flashback episodes are here to clumsily and far-to-lately illicit this "missing" sympathy for our hero. I keep seeing people say that all over the internet and I think its bullshit. This is not loving Naruto we're talking about here. Actually, I find that these flashbacks are more important for other narrative reasons that I can't explain right now due to spoilers. I do agree that these episodes aren't intended to make Kiritsugu suddenly sympathetic, since if they had intended to do that with these flashbacks they would've been placed before episode 16.

Oh Snapple! posted:The real tragedy at the end of the episode isn't Kiritsugu's killing of his father, it's his decision that he did something wrong. But this is not presented or touched upon, and I have extreme doubts that this will happen or that Kiritsugu will be called out on it. This is a story by Urobuchi. You should know better than to think this by now. EDIT: And if I remember correctly, he does get called out on it the minute after.

This episode just screams "BUY THE BLU-RAY". There's just a lot of obvious editing done, especially in the first half of the episode.

Sylvyfish posted:Also, maybe it's just me but I like it when they cut the OP out of certain episodes. I feel it makes them seem more important. I know it was cut kind of poorly in this one, but as a general rule I like it. The OP was only cut due to time constraints, really. The full version should retain the OP.

Mister Gutsy posted:"Ideals are bad, period" doesn't fit with Fate/stay night's themes, though. Fate/stay night doesn't completely say that ideals are bad, but it does make a point that letting an ideal dictate your life is severely unhealthy.

The source of this was from the Fate/Zero finale screening and QA session. The final question of that session was whether or not ufotable would work on Heaven's Feel. Atsuhiro Iwakami (Aniplex) said that it is all up to Type-Moon. Then Hikaru Kondo (ufotable) went into a long explanation of how we won't be seeing anything for a while. At the end of that explanation, Rikiya Koyama (Kiritsugu) came up to the mic and literally said "SOON". In English. Personally, from how it was described in the QA session, HF is possibly in deliberation but we won't be seeing it until 2014 or so.

Good_Haro posted:To me the whole answer sounded like a dodge (a lot of "we have to talk to type-moon....if it does happen it won't be for a very long time..." and so on). I seriously doubt they have any plans for it in the works yet. I think Koyama was just loving around, he got pretty silly by the end of the panel. That was a troll move, but Koyama was glorious at the session in general. btw: I was the guy that asked about the ufotable staff. It was on the behalf of someone on NeoGAF.

Whatever they do, I'm pretty sure it'll air Jan 2014 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the original Fate/Stay Night release. This also means it's highly likely this is actually an actual Fate/stay night production, and not based on any of its spinoffs.
