Even if he read the VN he shouldn't care much. There's very little reason to be emotionally attached to Illya at that point in F/SN

Is she supposed to be older than Shirou? If so than why does she look 11?
>>
>>124235085
It's a shallow underdeveloped character. The death is suposed to make you feel sad with how overblown amd overdramatic it is which is just piss poor writing. I haven't read the VN but it seems like Gil did it for a reason though so it has some plot relevancy at least.
>>
>>124235085

As much as I regret giving you this advice, read the VN.

Illya isn't my favorite character but I teared up like a bitch. This was a fucking sad scene. I honestly don't care what all you "tough guy" faggots say because I know you cried like a bitch as well assuming you have the proper background with Illya to understand the scene.

Yeah sure this has more budget but AgK had a better story.
>>
In the VN, the three routes have an enforced playing order. Ilya gets plenty fleshed out in Fate, whereas her development in UBW is minimal. Since it's not actually possible to read UBW without going through Fate first, the reader should already have an attachment to Ilya by the time she's killed in UBW.

That is, admittedly, the biggest flaw to animating Unlimited Blade Works without animation Fate first. Then again, DEEN already did that so maybe that's what they were expecting.

I thought she was half-human at least.

Well, I don't know about that second part. I think that there are a lot of autism related reasons why people like Nasu.

However you are overall right. Nasu is a huge fucking hack. A rich fucking hack.
>>
>>124236433
Honestly, Fate/stay night really isn't the most ideal story to adapt.

Heaven's Feel, of course, has it the worst. The route requires for you to have a deep understanding of the characters and the Holy Grail War in general from the prior routes. It requires for you to understand Shirou's distortion, Archer's identity and Rin's general personality and lifestyle. It has a lot of unanswered questions because those questions were already long since answered in prior routes. Several characters who were really important in prior routes are killed off without much flare.

I really don't know how UFOtable's gonna make it work, and with a movie of all things.
>>
>>124236512
Still not as rich as that hack called Toriyama but maybe that's because Nasu is even more of a hack than Toriyama.
>>
>>124236619
You really don't need to have a deep understanding of anything to understand Heaven's Feel because it isn't that complicated at all. Nasu just need to be better at storytelling than relying on people to read everything else.
>>
>>124236629
In terms of writing Hariyama is pretty close to bottom, Nasu at least the decency to come up with a tad of complexity in his work.
>>
>>124236707
For fuck's sake. Toriyama.
>>
>>124236629
At least Nasu remembers the contents in his own work.
>>
>>124235085
Your supposed to have context on Ilya's character from Fate route already. UBW is 2nd route. Do you think people saying to read the fucking VN is a meme or something?

Even then, ufotable added way more than enough material in this episode for you to get to know her and at least sympathize with some of her situation. And then when they adapt HF, this scene isn't going to be going away and you'll have even more information about her to draw from.
>father betrayed the family
>mother is spooky ghost
>grandpa doesn't give a fuck about you
>other homunculus are thrown away like stale milk

You can skip the VN and be a lazy faggot. But do not make these retarded threads when you don't understand things.
>>
>>124236692
It is.

It's a little hard to imagine since pretty much everyone who's played through Heaven's Feel have already played through Fate and UBW first, but Shirou's distortion isn't really gone into in great detail in that route. Shirou supposedly loses "everything" in Heaven's Feel. By choosing to save Sakura over becoming a hero, he pretty much breaks the very foundations of who he is and what he's living for. It's supposed to be a nearly soul-shattering decision for him. But without being exposed to Shirou's distortion in full from the other two routes, it's hard to really comprehend why it's such a difficult decision for him.
>>
>>124236619
The movie is not going to be stand alone people are going to use UBW and Zero as base.
>>
>>124236456
she's sub human
>>
>>124236795
Also, Heaven's Feel doesn't explain Archer's identity at all. On its own, it basically leaves the reader to guess why Shirou is able to use Archer's arm or why he can access Archer's Reality Marble. Even if you do figure it out on your own, you're left wondering how it even happened in the first place, since Heaven's Feel doesn't explain the mechanics of Servants or the Throne of Heroes at all.

Like I said, Heaven's Feel leaves a shitload of unanswered question because most of those questions are already answered in prior routes.
>>
>>124236795
"Shirou's distortion" is a weird fucking phrase.
>>
>>124236795
It's actually isn't that hard to show Shirou's so called distortion in a shorter amount of time and do it better than Nasu already did. But that need Nasu to care about it and actually know what he's doing rather than just adding nonsense so that he can justify on what he's doing.
>>
>>124236058
Friendly reminder that Sakura is the worst of the girls and the least popular.
>>
>>124236908
It kinda is. Shirou's distortion is a threefold issue.

1) He regards others as more important than himself.
2) He is incapable of living for his own sake.
3) He is wholly devoted to a borrowed, impossible ideal.

Heaven's Feel doesn't really show much of 1) or 2) and 3) isn't gone into at all.

The entire deal with Shirou is that he's a fundamentally broken human being, a machine pretending to be human. The only reason he's been able to move forward is by borrowing Kiritsugu's ideal and turning it into his sole function. His issue was hinted at in the Fate route and it was shown in full in Unlimited Blade Works, through his words, thoughts and actions. In Heaven's Feel, you barely get to see any of it.
>>
>>124237115
Well that's an exciting bunch of garbage analysis.

>muh fundamentally broken human being
>muh machine pretending to be human

Nasu is just shit at telling stories and his fans have to make up for his shortcomings.

It's okay, anon. Not all humans are born equal. You're just a little bit special compared to others, that's all.

>>124237228
What? The whole point of his character was that who he was died in the fire and was tempered as a sword. That's why all he does is make swords, that's why it's his origin.
>>
>>124237115
Because in Heavens Feel he throws away that ideal for something he decided on his own. It's real irony that at the end of it he either ends up dead or in a fake body, but no matter which ending he's arguably the most human he's ever been because of his decision.

Not really.

He just focuses his attention from "I want to save everyone" to "I want to save Sakura". What he does hasn't actually changed. He just shifts priorities.
>>
>>124237115
And that's why it can be explained without seeing the other route. You just need to add scenes to show about this. Nasu failing to even do that shows how incompetent he is.

It was all part of one novel. What exactly are you trying to get at here?
>>
>>124237484
It's more like he didn't wanna retread on prior routes. We already know what Shirou's problems are. We don't need a refresher course.

For Fate, Nasu seems to have taken what he learned from Tsukihime and fixed a lot of issues. Half of Ciel's route was basically a retread of Arcueid's. A lot of the routes shared common events marked by only minor or unnecessary changes between each.

In comparison, Fate minimizes redundant information. Most of the stuff we learn in Fate route isn't repeated significantly in UBW. Heaven's Feel assumes you've already gone through the other two routes so it doesn't go too deeply into them since we already have that information embedded in our heads. We don't need a refresher course for who Archer is or how his Reality Marble works, so the route doesn't explain those things. We don't need to know the identity of Saber's Noble Phantasm, so it has no need to explain any of that either. We already know who Gilgamesh and Caster are, so we don't need any extra information concerning those two before they die.

I dunno. I'd say Wonder Woman is worse, if only because most writers seem to have no idea what to do with her. The only reason she continues to exist is because she's an iconic character and DC's in dire need of a prominent heroine, but the character is pretty much completely incapable of standing on her own and you really get feeling that most writers just really struggle with her.

>>124238218
Heaven's Feel doesn't really get that many opportunities to show off how broken Shirou is. I mean, it's not like any non-Servants die in front of him. Ironically, for a route where Shirou struggles with his ideals more than any other, Shirou actually meets LESS external resistance than in the other two routes. The one exception, of course, is Saber, whom Shirou has to kill in order to save Sakura.

The etymology of "Secondaries" comes from the superior ability of these individuals to delay gratification, and thus receive two marshmallows. This ability highly correlates with success, education, health and weight control. In this context, it refers to their ability to wait for a superior release in a superior medium (anime).

>In these studies, a child was offered a choice between one small reward provided immediately or two small rewards if they waited for a short period: approximately 15 minutes, during which the tester leave the room and then return. (The reward was sometimes a marshmallow, but often a cookie or a pretzel.) In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores,[2] educational attainment,[3] body mass index (BMI),[4] and other life measures.[5]

It is not surprising at all that bitter "primaries" who are often unintelligent, overweight, and unsuccessful at life, would attempt to turn it into a pejorative.

>>
>>124238981
I'm sure someone can explain this better but basically, Rin did a thing with the gem sword, and because of that anybody who can possibly survive the grail war in an alternate timeline is around. Kirei for example doesn't show up because he dies in every timeline.

There is no timeline in which the 5th Grail War happens and Kirei Kotomine is alive. They are mutually exclusive, and this cannot be changed no matter what you do.

>>124236058
This is true, and HF is definitely the best route, but it doesn't change the fact Sakura is the least compelling heroine and is only really interesting because of how shockingly shit her life is.

Her actual role and personality in the route is essentially to just be a doe eyed victim that gets violated and tortured over and over again for the sake of the audiences' amusement. Just about the only depth to her as a character beyond this is her dark and selfish urges to cripple Shirou to get him out of the war.

That said, if she handled all the cards Nasu dealt to her with some level of character she'd have probably been the most interesting heroine.
>>
>>124235085
Brutality or fatality?
>>
>>124236058
Friendly reminder Sakura's the least popular heroine in UBW and behind a few male characters. Also, you're trying too hard. They're all their own stories. And if you really want to be bitchy about it, Nasu and friends said multiple times that the story of FSN was always meant to be about Saber. And Saber has a full route. And End of the Dream is all Saber, and the last ending you unlock in the VN.

All the routes stand on their own. Each having exposition that is fully explained in HF doesn't make them supplementary material. Sasuga Sakurafags. Nobody cares about your wormslut. Illya actually being the heroine of the route was what made it palpable. She had far more screen time and just as much relevance as Sakura.

Kirei is dead, that's why Caren's able to sneak in Bazett's dream. Extra irony points that she's his daughter

In the "real" world (the one we see in the epilogue, when bazett visits the actual emiya household) it looks like things are pretty much similar to how it was depicted in the dreams, and the prologue with everyone swapping ghost stories seem to have actually happened in the real world too. Presumably this means Rin's little dimension accident actually happens, and the "default" state of the Fate-verse is basically what is depicted in F/ha, except with probably less sex and silly antics

part of what they repeatedly emphasize in the VN is that while what is depicted doesn't actually happen, Avenger doesn't "fake" any of the events - in the same situation, Shirou and the rest of the cast would have ended up in the same situation. That's how Avenger-Shirou mananages to meet up with Caren after all

In UBW Gil knew he was fucking heracles so he knew he had to take things seriously. In Zero he was playing around with mad barking dog.

Also Lancelot had better stats for a berzerk class, the ability to throw back weapons becomes much more useful against somebody like Gil.

If Gil had decided to use those chains on lancelot it would had ended pretty fast.
Heracles had a huge handicap, his master was right there, and they had a deeper relationship compared to other sane servants & masters. Lancelot would care less if his master was hurt.

An inherent flaw of pretty much every F/SN adaption is that each of the animated routes don't really work standalone. The routes kinda rely on each other, including some bad end routes so you have a big picture. A lot of the character drama relies on you knowing the big picture, otherwise you just wonder why you should give a fuck about this or that side event. As such, the adaptions serve mostly just as fan service for established VN fans who know beforehand why they should give a fuck about someone like Ilya. Without previously established bonds from earlier routes, it ends up being somewhat jarring to watch UBW. "Oh look, the loli who attacked Shirou and Rin in cour 1 finally gets involved. Oh, she got some some sad backstory apparently. Oh, now she's dead. Oh, well, she just served to job. I guess the blonde dude is where it's at. I wonder if she was important. Oh well, moving on I guess."

There's really not much they could do to amend that. While cramming most of a character background in their last episode is overdone and emotionally manipulative her history would feel out of place in the other episodes.

In UBW lllya is secluded on the Einzbern fortress after the events of the first day, fleshing her out on random episodes would take away from the main events and fuck up pacing considerably.

Furthermore people jumping straight into UBW is rare even among secondaries, Ufotable is tying it to Zero with some nods here and there. It's getting the sequel treatment so most should at least know her superficially through Kerry and Irisviel past.
>>
Boring slow ass shit episode, get on with it already jesus.
>>
>>124243727
The show is written as a sequel to Zero though, so that doesn't really wash.

I mean, she's *in* Zero, and so's her mom. Going in you already know her relationship with Shirou, that's why they've been so explicit about it even though she doesn't' even mention it in the VN until HF.

That's what all the "forced drama" (what the fuck does that even *mean*?) throughout the episode was for. It was filling in the gaps between the two shows.

I love the character interaction here. It adds a lot of depth to otherwise unknown characters. Gil's enkidu. Hercules backstory. Still disappointed they didn't pipe in Berserkers roar directly. Really felt like this was catering to Gilfags more than anything, like Oh look at the brute deflect 4 swords before getting stabbed. It should be 30 or so before he couldn't keep up and he gets stabbed only when hes going to defend Illya.

My only familiarity with the Fate series is from Kaleid Prisma and Ilya was a cutie in that which made me pick up UBW. After I completed the first season of that I've d/led the Fate Zero series but yet to start it.

Seeing Ilya in pain or suffering or death does irritate me.

I was annoyed that her loli friend Miu doesn't seem to be in the main series.

Hate me for being a secondary and anime only but I really don't care.

If Miyu exists anywhere in this UBW universe (kaleidoscope etc. etc. etc.), she'd have probably been near Shirou on the night of the fire, since they were blood-related.

You don't know that going into the VN raw. Hell even F/Z doesn't really dive too deep into Illya or the Eizenbern's history. If she wanted Shirou dead it would've happened when they left the church.
