Unlimited Blade Works #02 — Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

October 21st, 2014

  

*blank stare*

Impressions:

This is exactly what I didn’t want to see and what turned me away from F-Zero. Well, that and all the undulating CGI everywhere. An entire episode talking heads, including Kotomine at one point simply walking a lap around Shirou for no explicable reason in the middle of his lecture. Not even conversations, just one-sided blather while the non-participants simply stared like budgerigars. And possibly weirdest of all, Shirou just sitting there the entire time in a blood-soaked shirt. At no point did he think to himself “Uh, I’m covered in my own juices, maybe I should change.” And this is Japanese media, where spilling a glass of water is often used as an excuse to pull off someone’s shirts or pants. To say nothing of the staining. If you’re just going to let biological goop sit on clothes for that long, you’re never getting the stain out. Took my suspension of disbelief right out of everything.

Someone better damn bludgeon something or someone else next week.

    What a boring pos produced by Type-Moon. Keep it up and they’ll be as awful as P.A Works

  • algorithm says:

    Never watched anything FN related and you sure don’t make me want to change that.

  • Di Gi Kazune says:

    Heh… of ALL the episodes you didn’t want to blog, you had to pick the exposition episode… :P

  • seibaru says:

    A new way to say the same shit you say about any anime with exposition. Aren’t you familiar enough with Type-moon material? You should know that it’s filled with plain standing/sitting/circling exposition; which might I add, is kind of important in storytelling.

    This screenie alone contains enough action for the entire episode. ^^
