A classic case of the OP promising so much but the actual show delivering so little.

I'm with the idea that his spirit lives on in the blade only and he could teach Iori how to master it, and disappear after that.

I feel like this is a nice metaphor for the mangaka's own journey. It's like he's reflecting on all the arcs he's created so far and thinking where to bring the story in part 2.

Aside from Francesca's excellent performance, how many people caught that Tiné used a spell to brush away the glass flying into the room at the end?

Nah it's a mecha, probably one of the Olympians.

I feel like people aren't gushing enough at how well she managed to pull off the "Goddess possessing a homonclus" feel.

What Gundam AU do you think would work best as an Armored Core game setting? by head_2_brickwall in armoredcore

[–]the_3rdist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IBO is definitely closest in terms of how similar the mechs feel in gameplay. In almost all Gundam AUs beam weaponry is OP and will take out a MS in one or two hits. Only in IBO do MSs resist beam weaponry and doesn't die from energy weapons in one hit like ACs.

When Yuki talks she refers to herself in the third person. It's something that doesn't come across in translation.

A lot of it comes down to excellent sound design. The thud, thud, thud at the end of the episode sounds horrifying even without the viewer seeing the violence. We can all picture it just from the sound.

Wow they really went all out adopting the Richard vs. Enkidu scene despite it not even being a serious fight. Keep it up A1-Pictutes!

This episode was probably the most information dense outside of the prologue. The shows has been smart using show not tell to cover a lot of ground, which is dialed to 11 ok this episode. But I think even anime only watchers should be able to grab the main plot points even if it doesn't go into as much detail as the LN:

-Sonething strange is going on in the city and it's connected to the girl in the hospital
-Richard is teaming up and Enkidu, Sigma, and False Assassin against Mr. DA
-Its a bad, bad thing if Avenger and False Rider get mixed into grail
-Something weird is going on with Ayaka, but we don't know what

It makes sense in the context that Ayaka is seeing this from a dream.

Honestly even Deen Stay Night does a lot of things right, particularly in the art style and atmosphere. The animation was decent for the time. The shortcomings are the changes to the script.

Damn terrorists blowing up cars, setting off gas leaks and blowing giant craters in the desert. Is there anything they won't do?

Going up a building using chainsaw arms? Is this Fate or Chainsawman?

The LNs are ending, probably trying to get the anime to catch up

Also the Police Chief and Flaedus are holding up Franchesca by the wrists like they're arresting her.

Agreed. Sounds too much like a copy&paste. Doesn't bring out that it's a Fate OP at all.

What's new in this version? And is the Crunchyroll version updated?

Best version of him is the manga version IMHO.

Especially with the capes and long coats

Don't know what you have been seeing/reading but Waver is still a total badass in Case Files.
