NO WAY! If it's anything like your No Game No Life one, then horee shitto!I've sat down to learn it quite a few times (EDIT: both your NGNL transcription and Tokyo Ghoul's OP), but I always get carried away playing something else. EDIT: Catching up no Psycho-Pass's new release of its first season I realized that its OP is performed by TK as well; same people who did Tokyo Ghoul's OP.
Oh, and I just finished G no Reconguista's first episode. Boy, was I out of my comfort zone!Obviously, I can't say anything about the plot, but the setting is interesting. The writing of the episode itself was pretty mediocre by my standards, but, then again, this is Gundam, and I have no idea how I should judge it. I came and stayed just for the art though. I LOVE how much style it has. That mix of CGI and old school animation should not work, but it does. And the art and character design are crazy beautiful! The OP was great.
Yeah, I was just a bit confusing with the names and who's who, but I'm at ep4 already and I think I'm ok. First fighting scenes, looking awesomeFate/Zero's first episode is quite something. It's quite an info dump with some really cool scenes, but it provides all the necessary information to follow what's coming. It tries to explain the Nasuverse in a nutshell (the chunk pertaining to the Fate series anyway), and that's a huge challenge. If I were to give any advice while you're still on the very early episodes, it would be to remember names and associate them with each character, and try to remember their motivations as the story develops. The earlier you have a clear image of who's who, the better, because there are a lot of characters and they are all developed extensively, so it can be a little hard to remember everything.
what do you expected from the director who previously created Original Gundam?
well i laughed at that slap scene, reminds me of Bright Noa's bitchslap to Amuro![]()

The more I watch the more I get reminded or MMORPG'sBut that's a good thing in my book~
YouTube user said:Well, first off seeing ufotable quality animation on the big screen with surround sound is marvelous. Now down to the episode. I've never played the visual novels so I can't say how well it adapted the original material. I do know the general story of all three routes of Fate/Stay Night and have seen Fate/Zero, though. But it turns out I don't think I'll be needing that info. Like Fate/Zero's first episode, this first episode was slow, but(in my opinion) in a good way. The first half was very slice-of-life, visual novelish showing Rin going to school. To some it might be stupid or unnecessary, but to me it is well needed, because it showed a lot about her character and the life she lives. The 2nd half of the episode though, was full of the magic stuff, and some very, very well crafted actions scenes. It started off slow, but gradually eased into the more fast paced content. Overall, I think it was a very nice way to start off a series.
the same YouTube user said:...At the preview, we actually got a short commentary from the producer, director, and animation director regarding the series. They said that usually for a series they will cut, edit, or alter scenes and plot points to make the series(in their eyes) more enjoyable and allow it to fit the time restraints. However, they do NOT want to do this with the new Fate/Stay Night because they want to fully flush out the series/characters and because there is already a very loyal fanbase attached to the original material. And they are treating this more as a sequel to Fate/Zero rather than Deen's adaptions. In the commentary, they said that they are approaching the series is a little differently because the characters aren't middle-aged adults like in Fate/Zero. Which is why I think it was important for them to have kept that first half of the episode with Rin going to school. It clearly showed that these characters in Fate/Stay Night are not serious, cold-blooded adults, but are rather high schoolers still growing up.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure I saw 1 or 2 throwbacks to Fate/Zero in the 1st episode, and I have a feeling that they weren't in the original VN.

Just for reference guys, do know that Yoshiyuki Tomino's nickname is "Kill em all Tomino."
You'll be happy for just a standard Gundam 'disciplinary' scene towards the end. Of course, on occasion, Tomino doesn't kill all the main characters in every series he does...just most of them.
i do remember V's mass kill though![]()
I can already claim Fate Stay Night is amazing because of Rin focus!!!
Also started watching denkigai no honya-san. It's a comedy anime so far and so far it seems like one of those animes you just turn your brain off, sit back, relax and enjoy which is my favorite kind of comedy anime.
Damn, I really need to finish V. Think I got about halfway through and just lost interest. Still need to dig out ZZ at some point too.
Too much Gundam man...just too much
Man, I don't know anything about the Fate series, but you guys are making me want to watch it. I've mentioned it waaaaaayyyy back in the thread, but I did try to watch Fate/Zero once about 3 years ago now, and I got really hooked on it, but ended up dropping it because I was so confused. I knew they were fighting for monty python's holy grail, and I knew the historical backgrounds of the erm.. "summoned" characters?.. but I still felt like I was missing something. There were many character relationships and interactions that seemed totally alien to me. The fight scenes were the only thing interesting me. Then I found out that this was the second anime adaption following Fate/Stay Night, a visual novel I had no clue existed. What do I need to understand the characters better? I guess I should just watch the first anime series, because I do not have the patience for visual novels, unfortunately.
....ing yay.. I'm spending the weekend at our summer cottage (which is at backwoods as backwoods go). So because I have no other form of entertainment, I bought the Crunchyroll sub for my phone so I could watch anime but firstly, because of the shitty internet connection I don't have any patience to wait the (streamed!) anime to load enough so that I could watch it. Secondly and more importantly? only thing I really wanted to even watch was the new SAO episode but the latest episode they have is like a month old. "Watch anime an hour later than it was aired" my ass. Fvck Crunchyroll, I'm never giving this shitty service any more of my money even if it was the only source to watch any anime.
