New Type Moon Ace is out, so we get a lot of new info.
-Fate Apocrypha: the first act is indeed about goddamn Mecha Musume Jack, but the good news is they've confirmed 14 servants so only one got left out, my guess being Vlad since we already had the one in Extra with a different design.
- Mahoyo has a release date now, April 12th.
-Previews of the new Fate Zero figs for those that care.
There's other stuff, but those are the headline topics as far as I can tell.

Oh and this isn't from Ace, but Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code (HOW TO TITLE VIDEO GAMES) demo was delayed.

>Loli the Ripper
NOOOOOOOOOOO

Also it sucks that they're keeping all but one of the original designs, because most of them are mediocre or outright terrible. Only good ones are Jeanne, Siegfried, Karna, and Shakespeare. Vlad and David are OK. All the rest suck or have something that ruins them (kawaii catgirl Atalanta, duckfooted George).

>>69564
I'd rather have Atlanta and George than this fucking thing. It looks even worse than Tron Lancer in FE did. I'm also not a huge fan of Karna.

We can at least agree that Spartacus is the worst design though, surely?

What, no Kratos?

>>69535
I'm happy if only for Shakespeare.

THIS. IS. RETARDED.

Cool wallpapers though.

Lots of Gilgamesh this episode.

Wow Kotomine, wow.

>>69649
Proof that people diagnosed with sociopathy are not to be trusted, nor should they be allowed to live.

Seriously, the Ice King is the only sympathetic sociopath ever.

Jojomine is my favorite character in Emiya's Bizarre Adventures.

>>69652
Dude, might wanna phrase that so that you're not commenting on a serious and morally complex real-world issue.

With words alone Gil was able to drive Kotomine to do what even Sola-Ui didn't dare. We have a real master of NTR here.

>>69664
That's what characters like him are telling me. These guys can't be trusted, they're antisocial, misfit nutjobs and can't exist without freaking out or harming people, they're scary. I don't see anything complex, they lack empathy and scruples due to some kind of chemical imbalance.

Kotomine was born a cold, evil mofo, and he died as one. Hell, you could even make the argument that he never really 'lived', and his death was just a really, really late abortion.

A Hollow, violent man who died hollow and violently and made a lot of people suffer because no one had the good sense to off him while the offing was good.

Those who are mentally ill because of biological rather than psychological issues are a lost cause, and should be locked away or disposed of as soon as possible. It's not like they're capable of minding, only the normal people dumb enough to care about them would.

>>69674
Oh Jesus Christ, this is another 'issue' isn't it?

>>69674
This is a forum for anime and manga, not your neuroses.

>>69674
lol im so edgy xD

All of you shut up and laugh at this image.

>>69684
You know what would really help him in this situation. A sexy, cyclopean, if somewhat ill wife. Shame he doesn't have one of those.

>>69685
>cyclopean
Wait, Kotomine was married to the Demoman?

>>69687
Joking aside, this is the only official illustration of Kotomine's wife. Pretty cute actually.

>>69687
>Kotomine/Demoman
I'd read that fanfiction.

>>69688
Exactly. But nope, kinda sorta drove her to suicide.

Delayed because of Christmas, but anyway, now that Season 1 is over, I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on it. I did spend quite a bit of time early on trying to get a load of you to watch this after all. What characters/scenes did you like/dislike, why or why not, what lore questions you have, all that good stuff.

>>69836
I don't particularly like most of the CG they use for this show, but I think that... thing... managed to look pretty good.

>what lore questions you have
I kind of forget how Magic Circuits work. Are Kiritsugu bullets as effective against Servants as they are against mages?

>>69850
Kiritsugu's bullets don't do anything against servants, not even the magic ones. That's why he didn't shoot Kayneth way back at the standoff in the warehouse district, because Assassin was perched somewhat nearby and even the weakest Servant can't be hurt by low level attacks like that.

As for the exact mechanics of circuits, that varies way too heavily based on the mage and the magic, so there aren't any hard and fast rules. Generally speaking though, the further down a line of mages you go, the more circuits each new generation has (and of higher quality too), plus they're supplemented by the accumulated knowledge and power of the family crest. Kiritsugu cripples Kayneth because circuits are connected to a mage's nervous system, and disrupting one screws over the other.

My reaction is

AHHHHHHHH WHAT NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CANT CLIFFHANG RIGHT THERE RIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE ARGGGGG!

The restored version of FZ 11 is pretty great, fixes a lot of the face and puts back all that cut Gil and Rider dialogue during the feast.

Higher quality, 40 extra minutes of content, and DAT SOUNDTRACK.

SOON GENTLEMEN, VERY SOON

Angry Saber is best Saber.

Hiroyuki descended form on high to C81 and delivered unto us some FZ. I thought it was pretty funny.

>>72053
Gogi Power Hiroyuki is one of my favorite people on the entire planet.

Stop it boner, you know this is wrong.

>>72221
So is Gil still responsible for HIS BEST FRIEND DYING FOR NOTHING like he was in the original myth?

>>72223
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...thanks for spoiling the end of the Epic of Gilgamesh for me, jerk face! Aaaaaaaaagggggghhhh! Use spoilers! Geez!

>>72223
I'm not really familiar with the original epic, but in Nasu history at least, Gil turned down the Goddess of Fertility because he knew she was crazy, so she goes whining to her dad, who unleashes the Bull of Heaven on Uruk. It causes 7 years of plague, famine, etc before Gil and Enkidu managed to bind and put it down. Since they killed the beast of the gods one of them had to die, and since Enkidu was made by the gods in the first place, it was him.

Fate/Zero OP2 - To the Beginni…
Second OP. Kind of meh.

Also holy hell this show's Pixiv tag is a fangirl goldmine.

>>72264
Needs animation of people sobbing and dying.

OST is out: http://www.mediafire.com/?bjq252770mt8r48
>mfw Point Zero, Let the Stars Fall Down, The Battle is to the Strong, and Rule the Battlefield

Sexy, sexy BD updates.

Also:
NEW SEASON STARTS ON THE 7TH

I'll be making a new thread then, so make use of this one before I kill it with an image dump I guess.

To be honest, the BD edits seem forced and in some cases make the scenes worse.

>>72833
Did they fix episode 11's QUALITY? Or episode 6's stubby arms and bodies?

>>72838
The hell do you mean "forced?" And how do they make any episodes worse?

>>72850
Yes.

INTERVIEWS

Nasu, Takeuchi, and Urobuchi about Type Moon in general

>Ah I see. It seems Fate/Zero as become popular not only among TYPE-MOON fans or anime fans, but a much larger audience.
*snerk* I for one welcome our new fujoshi overlords.

ALSO UTW had started doing the Bluray stuff now. No torrents until they've got the complete batch ready, but they've got direct downloads up. They're even going to try and setup a fanart slideshow to go along with a translation of the drama CD depicting Irisviel and Kiritsugu's first meeting.

So far they've done a few BD episodes and the first Einzbern Consultation Room.

This'll be really helpful background info to those of you who haven't actually played Fate Stay Night yet even though (or because) I've repeatedly pestered you all to. It's also nice if you just like Iri's voice actress.

This guy covers all the BD changes. They added quite a decent number of scenes, for those of you that haven't read the novels.

Did any other anime outdo Fate/Zero?

>>84083
What do you mean? Plenty have on a critical and financial scale, considering FZ isn't perfect in either the adaptation or the source material.

Why do people keep bumping these old TM threads?
