So UBW

 

Spoiler

An enjoyable, but ultimately a rather disappointing one for me. Despite packing a lot of action and some visual splendor, I found that the episode lacked substance of any real, coherent form and felt more like a build up for the inventible conclusion. Well two particular reasons--or characters to be specific--are what I'm finding the problem with, which is Assassin and Gilgamesh.

 

Assassin is personally for me the least interesting out of all the Servants in the war (possibly even out of all the ones I'm familiar with). His design is unoriginal and dull, his mannerism, backstory and overall purpose are boring as well. He merely exists as an obstacle that the characters (or more accurately Saber) has to face. The only impact he had here was that he was still around, which is basically it. Of course, considering that his whole "interiority" is hollow from the start, not actually being Sasaki Kijiro and only being summoned to guard the temple, his motivation is understandable, but due to that he doesn't add anything significant outside of it to the narrative or Saber. This is a bit of a reminiscent to Fate/Zero, where Saber faced Lancelot and added something impactful, but here in F/SN, nothing is achieved and is disappointing.

 

Gilgamesh, while ever the entertaining figure with his overbearing personality and having the show further contextualizing his 'master-slave' morality is enjoyable, he is proving to be a rather lackluster final adversary. He as well seems to only be there as a last obstacle that our main trio have to face, without adding much to the central narrative. Outside of Gil directly opposing Shirou's pivotal ideal of saving everyone, there isn't much that I am seeing Gil has to offer to the table, which is a shame when we had characters like Caster and Archer previously stand out more prominently. Considering that the primary points of this show has been about Shirou's ideals and growth, it all seems to have been put to a halt ever since the death of Archer, and giving that Gil's opposition is so bland and only existing on a superficial level for Shirou, makes me quite frustrated. I expected more from this climax.

 

Don't know what the last episode has in store, but my expectations--for the first time with this show--are quite low.

Good enough to satisfy my occasional needs.

 

Anyone can take that how they want.

GoT.. UBW... Seems like JoJo is the only show this season which ultimately isn't a letdown

[Reezus Christ]

So I watched Cross Ange like two people in here suggested and it's pretty good. Brotherhood was meh though.

All thanks to divine Dio

 

The world would be a much worse place without him

[TheClonesLegacy]

Well tbf, GoT was following up the Fallout 4 E3 announcements.

Most things would fall flat for me after that.

 

But yeah, GoT sucks now.

 

Unless they have Rodrick Forrester to jump from the game and start beating everyone with his Cane of Justice.

Seriously need to watch JoJo at some point. Wanna see what the big fuzz is about.

Angra Mainyu has seeped into this thread.

 

How long until Avenger will manifest? Whom of us can bear the burden of all the world's evil?

Don't worry.

I will protect the thread.

I swear I will protect the thread!



...

Ok, maybe you should worry.

You're too Moe.

[Liamv2]

But she's pretty cute why can she do it and not me?! No fair.

[TheClonesLegacy]

You're locked to a genre and she isn't.

[Liamv2]

What's my genre then?

[Fidite Nemini]

Why can't I stand on telephone poles? 

 

You can. Just gotta invest some points in Agility. You can deduct it from Endurance, that's a dump stat anyway.

[TheClonesLegacy]

Polka.
