There's also the new pink haired girl.

Who I think is called Amari, that's what I got from the raw (I can't speak Nip).

>>786627

>>786627

I think there is a chance that she is Extra/Blue Caster.

Hakuno is paired with Umu and Hakunon is likely paired with Archer.

This leaves Caster

There's also the fact that Caster can shapeshift, and the offical art of Misao(pink hair) looks quite a bit similar to offical Extra Caster art. Especially the posture.

According to some anons, the source code of the Fate/Extra website hints that there are more new characters coming.

Sasuga Shaft.

Does anybody have the most updated timeline? I watched this episode and saw how Rin looks like she's younger than her appearance in Stay, but I thought this was supposed to be after.

Also I thought this bitch was supposed to have mega titties

>>786612

They got the Utena atmosphere just right with the animation and music. I was expecting another trainwreck to promote FGO like apocrypha but this is looking great.

They better make a spinoff with female master and casko to compensate for killing off best master in the first minute

subs are out

>[kooritsukai-UMU] Fate Extra Last Encore - 01 [720p]

I just watched it, I think it was a better idea to not directly adapt the game as it probably wouldn't translate to anime well even if I haven't finished the game yet.

However I prefer the opening/prologue in the game and I think it would be cool to do a sort of day that keeps repeating especially if its animated. That's what I thought was going to happen when archer chased MC to the dead body recycling place, I thought that anyone who was put there would be reincarnated in the next "run" of the world if you will.

Also, the criteria they're using for admitting people to the holy grail war is bizzare because Kirei (or at least what sounded like him) said that they needed to kill someone to get in.

We see Leo beat the other fag in chess and get a spot but shinji just kinda left MC in a puddle of his own blood and got in.

I hope they'll address that soon.

Otherwise, I'm mostly going to watch it for UMU tho anyway but the first episode wasn't bad

What happened to Taiga?

>>786965

Damn, even in the Moon Cell, he will continue to slaughter innocents for all time. But that smile in the end was nice; his failure here is his happiness. On an unrelated note, I think they even got Jun'ichi for the voice, though it's hard to tell with the distortion effect.

Also, Kotomine's lost his awesome frock.

>>787197

>missing at this range with a bow

<A single equine shadow runs along the plain where ammunition flies past each other. The guardian reliably, quickly, and ruthlessly overwhelms his target. He cannot go against the mission he has been given, he cannot save the lives as he hoped. That hope is worn like flame as a mantle on his limbs, as he continues to defy fate. (Emiya Bond CE in FGO)

Never give up ;_;7

>>787481

Gonna need a three episodes to judge this. I dunno what to think of Hakuno for one; is he still an NPC? Is he "reincarnating" as an NPC or something as the assets are re-used or was the fem-Hakuno just a nod, kind of like Archer was?

I do like the visuals, but it's clashing pretty heavily with the game's imagery and style. I hope they have some good renditions of the game music, since that shit was awesome.

So whats the deal with Fate? To be honest with you I only got into the series when I found a picture of Sakura Saber who is apparently from the mobile game Fate Gand/Order but is actually one of many alterations of the same character.

>tfw came from a timeline where the only FATE franchise to be translated were the anime and zero followed by Prisma Illya

>tfw this timeline has a shit ton of translated FATE games to play at the drop of a hat and people are actually interested in them

Oh, what a time to be alive!

>that macabre music that played during Nero's summoning

This might wind up pretty good after all.

>>788213

>Sakura Saber

Design-wise, she's a "Saberface", that is to say a copy of the original super popular character. In the original, there was an event which caused an alternate self of her to appear, with a different mindset, color scheme and design, colloquially known as Alter. Then in the PS2 fighting game came the alt skin which came to be known as Lily. Then we got Nero on the psp rock-paper-scissor simulator. Then, arguably we got Jeanne but she's distinct enough I'd argue that she doesn't count. Okita was originally a gag character from a comic, but in FGO she turned out to be one of the best early Sabers, so along with her appeal she became pretty popular. Also, voiced by Aoi Yuuki, so you know.

>Fate

You know, after over a thousand hours of time spent on this franchise in various forms... I still really don't know.

>Today’s Schedule

>Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan 11:00

GIMME A HELL YEAH!

>>789296

I see what you're saying, but I don't think that they'd be anywhere near as good without the rest of the franchise to support them. We need to see these characters having an awful time before we can properly enjoy them having a great time together.

Lancer has been fun to watch consistently because he's in it to have a good scrap, and always has been. He's an ancient hero like Iskandar - hard-drinking, hard-fighting, and able to enjoy a fight to the death, no matter who wins or dies. It's about as healthy an attitude you can take to violence, I think.

>>789740

I highly doubt it was because of the VA thing, though it's hilarious if it is. I think it's just a joke about how Lancer always gets the short end of the stick (and this carried over to Diarmuid in Zero).

Glorious death in battle is basically what every ancient hero aspires to, because not dying in battle means you die from illness or old age, weak and impotent, but all his deaths are pretty undignified. His fight with Gilgamesh in Fate gets overshadowed by Saber's, and he dies in a largely off-screen fight with True Assassin in Heaven's Feel where he gets his heart crushed in one go by Zabaniya. His most characterising death was in Unlimited Blade Works, where he's compelled to run himself through, but at least he gets to take Kotomine with him.

None of this is helped by the fact that in half his fights, he's either held back by Kotomine for fear of showing off his true power, or he's interrupted by something, like Shirou at the school. E-rank Luck became a meme for a reason.

>the year of wakame was real

>>790917

I don't think they took liberties as much as they decided that they were doing something completely different from the game and they're running with it, which is fair enough. Fate/Extra had a very video game story, and I don't think it would have been easy to make it that interesting on its own.

>>791163

>Nero is only there for her tits

That's selling her a little short. She's here for smug too. And God, if she wasn't adorable during the rooftop sequence.

That said - whoever put together the design for sleeveless turtleneck sweater/miniskirt/thigh boots combo Rin deserves some kind of gold medal, holy fuck.

Anime saved.

Third episode was really shit if you ask me. The pacing was all over the place and all of a sudden Shinji is the type of person who wishes to avoid conflict and killing? Also, did he fight fucking Neil Armstrong? How dare they tease us like that! And my Lord, that fight at the end was so dogshit. She forgot to load her flintlocks because she "doesn't fight often"? You've got to be shitting me. Also, how come Shinji seemed to have won the first floor and amassed an entire city in only about an hour at most? The MC couldn't have ascended to the first floor much later than Shinji did. How come Rin somehow seems to know about the MC's 'powers'? And what exactly is the extent of her own power, anyway? It's implied she took out those three servants that Nero had a lot of trouble with. When you've got power like that, why ask for help from someone else? And please don't tell me this MC is going to be another Shirou with powers he didn't know about that seem to trump everyone else's power. Also, Drake seemed pretty damn indulgent to shinji when he flat-out stated he didn't want to win the Holy Grail War. Does she not have wishes of her own? Forgive me if she states that in Extra but I cannot remember - though that's hardly an argument since they changed so much shit from the game.

The whole episode just seemed rushed. I think it would have behooved them to make a whole episode detailing what Shinji did after he ascended and his path leading to his conclusion that he wanted to remain at the first floor.

Note that I am giving you all the short version. I have many more questions, few of which are bordering on nitpicking. This show is really not looking good so far. I'd much rather play Extra again, and considering how dogshit the gameplay in that game was, that's saying a lot.

>>791185

Wow, this artwork is terrible and the rewrite of the original plot is turning out garbage. Why can't we just have the simple plot where the hero challenges a Rotchchild world heir and unwittingly saves the world, ends the cycle of destruction and rescues Best Tohsaka while giving her the coordinates to save his real self?

Oh right it's because Nasu is retcon king and already retconned everything to a great extent with the Extella games and his multi-million dollar rake-in getcha gambling game

I'm glad I was invested in this series only to watch it get excessively and exponentially whored out at every turn.

I'm glad Arcuid will never be raped again

I know I'm late to the party, but

>hakuno dead immediately

I expected something like this, yet I can't help but be disappointed.

I was enjoying it, but this episode was kind of a massive let down. Not as massive as Rider's tits, but getting there.

I think a lot of the problem was that the Imperial Privilege thing wasn't at all foreshadowed. The whole fight felt like it had no build up. That's probably because it's only a one-cour and they're trying to squeeze in a whole original story with seven Masters in it. Either they start skipping fights, or this is going to get real shit, real quick.

>>795016

I'm hoping for a twist that leads to a second cour featuring BB and the Alter Egos aka literally the only good parts of Extra.

>>794271

>rescue Rin

>see what she looks like in real life

>hear how dedicated she is to rescuing you in her own tsun-tsun way

>definitely going to hold hands with Rin once the real you wakes up, if you know what I mean

>rescue Rani

>get vague implication she kinda might go looking for you

>maybe

Never a poo

>>794066

>Nasu wanted to make the anime interesting

No, he wanted to explain the blunt force trauma retcons he made in Fate/Extella while also loosely tethering it to his multi-million yenny gambling game, which inspired much of the changes in the first place.

If he was thinking of the fans he would have made Extella a proper continuation and would have written an interesting retelling of the already sound story in Extra.

Fate Extella was more fun than I thought and I liked the meta-narrative of the player timeline-hopping to catch the villain, but there was no excuse for changing the style and previous events of the story.

>inb4 muh alternate universe though

Shut up. That's the weakest excuse for retcons since Twin Peaks the return and it's been used more times than a baby's been born in the last timeline

>>795119

>muh alternate universe

Extra itself had 12 alternate universes not even counting CCC, Hakuno-saber-Rin, Hakunon-saber-Rin, Hakuno-saber-Rani, Hakunon-caster-Rin etc...

Instead of choosing one as canon he built a whole alternate story to try and make Extella more fun for everyone, that's way more work than just saying "hakuno-saber-rin won screw everyone else and their fans" and taking it from there.

He actually wrote the outline for the new Extra leading to Extella in his blog but it spoils the anime pretty hard. There is a translation here http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Sandubadear/Fate/EXTRA_retcon_leading_to_EXTELLA

Who permitted this body to be on television and to what address do I send my soul in gratitude?

>>796939

>Dan has reverted to his original personality of being an assassin.

>they screwed up Dan

>the ruined Best Master

Someone confirm if this is true. There's no way. There's no way Nasu would go that far in his retcon alternate universe. There's no way.

I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to turn this screenshot transparent. But it sure was no fun. The line art in this anime is shit.

Oh well. If anyone likes shrugging Rin, you can have her.

>>797461

Thank you.

>>797463

Hmm.

Oh, I get it now. Everything so far has been about embracing the zetsubou. Humanity's dead, or nearly so. The Grail War's been over for a thousand years. There's genuinely no reason to fight anymore.

Shinji and the other people that didn't want to die have been stuck on the first floor, clinging to a crude approximation of a festival for a millennium, even after they all went home. They just couldn't accept it being over. Blackmore thought he was given a second chance, but was too blinded by his fear that it was all in vain to realise that he had murdered dozens of people for nothing. Hakuno's just a pile of angry ghosts trying to make the pain stop by reaching the top of the tower. Calling it now: there's nothing at the top of the tower, except maybe the Buddha telling you to just let go.

Maybe Nasu wants out of the Fate series, and this is his MGS2. He wants this to be its Last Encore, but the fans won't let it die. The concert's over. Everyone go home.

>>799122

Reminder that Shinji gave all the masters waifus

>Tfw Jack will never call you mama while you make her a mama

>>797435

>That's the thing - it's not just him. Everyone is fucked up

pic related

>This isn't even the same plotline as the pre-Extella story that Nasu gave

I figured that now, the minute the story drove off a cliff character-wise. RetconKing Nasu at least mentioned that Golden Boy was the only one to remember the events of the Far Side, which means Extella does take place after the games and in the same universe but just something was altered along the way.

I had figured it was a result of the protag in the first game mucking with the moon cell, where he explicitly mentions that he did everything he could and there's an implication he might have made an error. That error in the reality warping object could have led to Extella but as the game goes on it's clear that's not the case.

>Someone in the Last Encore world is responsible for absolutely fucking everything so badly that this has happened.

Obviously it's the same villain as in Extella, mate. He's the only one who could do that.

Though the real culprit is Nasu

Either way, to the fire with this nonsense. I'm done. I'm just waiting on the inevitable garbage that is Extella/LINK to play with buxom Drake and see what they did to Best Brown after Extella's events. The lore is screwed so it doesn't matter anymore. Fans' fanfiction is literally as relevant and coherent with the actual story now

KING OF NEETS

>>800252

He means that F/SF started out as a fanfic. Technically, Prisma's author started as non-h doujinshi artist as well.

We are going full shaft.

Lewd UMU.

These ending cards are really nice, they're simple but striking.

Dan's tactics were kinda overdone.

>give new arrivals the idea that he's at the clock tower, shooting at the castle

>"he's shooting while the bells ring, to hide his gunfire sounds!" / "the angle of fire; it's coming from the clock tower!" is what he wants them to think

>actually at the castle, several floors above the entryway, shooting at the bell which causes it to ring as the bullet hits and ricochets back to hit the target

>when someone goes to the clock tower, there is a hologram/mystic code cast clone, like Rani had used

>if survive explosion, still leaves them open to Dan's sniping from the castle upper floor

>if new arrival seeks cover inside castle instead of the forest, Robin is still inside and probably trapped as well

This only works due to SE.RA.PH shenanigans.

<sound from rifle at true firing position above the point of arrival should reach poa before bells begin making sound from presumed firing position

<bells don't swing when hit, ringing caused by code cast presumably; Dan times it so that they make sound way before he fires

<when Dan fires his last shot after being shot and hits the bell, the bullet ricochets to poa without triggering sound of ringing but does make a small impact sound

<ricochet angle would be ridiculously complex

<bullet should deform on impact with bells at ricochet which would further degenerate its aerodynamics at the same time as it loses a massive amount of kinetic energy and slows down, but doesn't

<despite being shown to deform when blocked by Nero

<Hakuno just wins by straight up tanking a bomb

What a mess of a fight.
