Sylphid posted:I seem to recall the biggest thing was Proper Nouns being changed in some cases from what everyone was used to, but that should only be annoying to the absolute extremes of internet culture. CR has a bad habit of subbing in first / last names inconsistently with what's being said, even though doing what they loving literally say with their mouth words works almost 100% of the time. I mean it's one thing if you don't wanna make things weird and decide to place a name instead of "bro" or something but they just flip flop the names constantly and without consistency. It's nothing worth having a snit over but if you actually listen to the dialog it is certainly annoying.

Sunny Day was kinda disappointing. I mean sure it was relatively true to the VN but it felt a lot like "orrrr this could happen!"

I felt like they didn't make any extra effort to expand on it. I don't know what I was expecting, but even as the ending I preferred I was like "yup this sure is the other ending"

It would kinda work as a long series that looped back on itself ala the VN but that's not the way they chose to adapt it and it does suffer for it, I think. For instance, F/Z is pretty self contained, but UBW def is constrained by lacking the context of Fate and not really being a straight sequel to F/Z.

Bakanogami posted:My personal pet theory has always been that Shirou and Ryunosuke were related. We don't know anything about Shirou's family before he was adopted by Kiritsugu, but he does have some magical circuits, and isn't that in and of itself supposed to be rare? It would fit in with being from a fallen mage family like Ryunosuke is implied to be, having an old book on summoning in their storeroom and all. Wasn't one of the big things in fate and a lesser extent UBW (in the VN) that he was constructing his magic circuits from scratch each time which was incredibly dangerous and idiotic and one of the many things Rin later berated him for? Honest question, because I remember that being a big deal at one point and it didn't get brought up in the anime at all.

Ahhh. I was under the impression that part of the reason he was such a monster when fueled with sufficient mana was because he had constructed literally thousands of magic circuits that he was able to activate simultaneously later when he got proper instruction. ... I'm a bit disappointed now, actually.

Having cleared HA end to end when it first came out translated a couple years ago, I didn't even realize it hadn't been voiced until the new patch came out all like "finally, VOICE!". I'm a very fast reader so most characters only get a noise out rather than whole lines in most VNs I check through. Tends to give an impression of tone at least.

The only part of FSN where I legit stopped reading for a while from disinterest was during the fights with kizuki in UBW because in the VN they are so laboriously described and it isn't immediately apparent why everyone is getting chumped by a fuckin history teacher. Fate was fine, though again I thought the fight sequences were kinda lackluster initially (My first and just previous VN was MLA so I feel like I was a bit spoiled in that regret. I think UBWanime suffers heavily from being an adaptation of a first person perspective work that is specifically dealing with that character working through things, and having read that before hand. Independent of the VN, I think that shiro is probably more boring than the events occurring around him without getting to see his own thought processes and just his actions, but even still is a more complex character on screen than many many shounen protags.

That was a million years ago though. Very playable. It not like a machine translation job, there’s just the occasional typo and formatting issue iirc

The split point is shortly after saber is summoned so not that much retreading. You can even skip the prologue on replays so even less.

GodFish posted:You aren't really missing anything if you dont get all the Dojo's, but I'd say its definately worth your time to see some of them. The Dojo scenes are generally good and usually have some message about the themes of the route, and some of the deaths are funny and can lend insight into the characters and the differences that make up the successful route. Technically, you are missing a small bonus scene if you don't get all of them. But really, with fastread and skip scene you can plow through and get them all in one evening after you are done reading the main story. It's not a huge time investment. Terrible Opinions posted:Fate like most anime could benefit from an editor wielding a pair of hedge clippers and zero sense of mercy. please see the studio deen version of UBW for how good of an idea this is.

I haven't actually watched UBW movie, but it was the first thing that came to mind. I've said it previously but I don't think there is a way to win, really. I'm happy with how UFOTable has been handling it. UBW is not my favorite thing in the world but it's about as good as I can hope for from an adaptation. It sounds like what you are talking about is more like a reimagining, or interpretation. At a certain point the question comes up "if you aren't gonna do the original story justice why not just write a whole new story?"

Endorph posted:And it's kind of funny to say 'it's pointless to reinterpret and retell fiction' while discussing Fate/Stay Night. I would never say that. I do think it's a valuable question though. Especially for adaptations, is the goal "remaining true to and conveying the same experience as the original" or "reinterpreting the work for some purpose (be it to match the contours of a different media, or examine some other aspect of the work, or what have you" or "attracting new fans" or "pleasing existing fans" etc.

Are people getting cash prizes for pointing out instances of sexist behavior and out stubborning every attempt to contextualize it? Otherwise I’m not sure why we have to have this circular rear end argument every time the Fate route comes up. Yes, Shirou says sexist things. Yes, it’s part of his character development, and an attitude that the story demonstrates shows both to be a silly thing to believe and ridiculous in context (the girl(s) in question being powerful combatants). Yes, it reflects in some way the authors own thoughts and working through of the subject matter. No, it’s not indicative of a horrible character flaw in the author that the whole work needs to be censured for. There are plenty of other weird rear end things in fsa worthier of that attention, as dreary as going over it again is. Are we seriously supposed to re-evaluate every work of fiction by hyper-reactionary rubrics? And disavow them because they don’t fit perfectly in the modern framework a small cadre has decided is the gold standard? How much of this is authentic, and how much of it is bad faith? You can not like a thing and not continually try to relitigate it’s worthiness in a space put aside for people who, broadly, enjoy it.

Aurora posted:pretry sure nasu thinks saber is badass actually She is, and he thinks so (and Shirou does too, after getting over his bullshit). But I don't wanna pretend that at some level, especially as a young man, that he was examining what that means in relationship to normal people, and later and broader what it means for her to have chosen to be a perfect badass and literally denying her womanhood. Fate is a slightly trashy but in many ways well nuanced story. Thinking more concretely about it, it's been a long time since I actually read the Fate route, and it's interesting the lack of representation in the metaseries compared to UWB and HF. I wonder if it just feels too anachronistic at this point. It's not exactly Prototype but it is way less developed than UBW or HF.

For how much things are moved around, I was surprised how much I loved it. I get hung up a lot of times on adaptation changes but I was super pleased with Part 1 and the way they handled things. It was also very quiet and slow in a lot of parts which I was surprised and pleased with. I was afraid things would be mashed together really brutally, though now I'm dying to see how the second and third parts are handled.

Saber is the 'Most Powerful" servant, but Shiro is a pretty piss poor master, in every sense. A huge part of the Fate route is that Saber can't fight well because of Shiro, be it interference in battle or, as happens, he literally can't power her properly.

That seems like it would be an incredibly interesting and fertile base for a new VN and so there is absolutely zero chance we'll see it unless it becomes a LN first. And then it'll have an infinitesimally small chance. ffs what was the last VN type moon put out?

nrook posted:The funniest thing about the duel between Shirou and the red guy is how profoundly unadaptable it is. You can't really blame Ufotable for that one, the whole drat thing is just interior monologues while two guys straightforwardly swing swords at each other. It's great in the VN, but some things just work better on the page than they do animated. They could have done a better job of it. I think they just got overwhelmed. Without changing any of the content, not breaking it off goddamn straight in the middle between episodes completely killing the momentum would be a good start.
