    I agree with all of this.

    Got to admit, I was wondering how they were going to do the Mr Elasto reading combat when the episode came up, the anime version just makes a lot more sense.

    Also, it just further makes me think he is this guy grown up: http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Soujuurou_Shizuki

    Huh, I thought speedy was a different one. I can remember the malaysian Broly one where everybody talks superfast and is voiced by one person and one where Vegeta's voice sounds squeaky as hell.
    I honestly don't know which dub that is now... <.<

    He had the technique, not the power. Strength was provided by Caster and it damn sure made sense that she was capable of giving him enough to threaten Saber. Servants differ from humans by their base stats when you get down to it - if Caster was able to at least partially make up for that discrepancy then Saber, who dashed in not to fight a formidable warrior but execute a defenceless non-combatant, could easily get overwhelmed by unexpected retaliation.

    Yona Episode 10 - Granny for the win lmao. So good, " take this beauty to" 10/10. It's going to be a feel trip if she ever dies, that farewell almost had me crying. Ki-ja and Hak remind me of Zoro and Sanji lol going to be great seeing them interact.

    Oh, that's what you mean. I guess my impression was simply different, then - I recall a lot of focus on his fighting style, yeah, but Caster's reinforcement is what stuck for me the most.

    Ah for me it was definitely her magic that mattered most, since it's common sense to me that servants can't be harmed by "average humans". So a person using martial arts would definitely have to have some kind of boost

    Well, it was a supporting factor. Surprise is the main reason. When Kuzuki failed to kill her and Caster failed to work the shenanigans they retreat exactly because without that surprise he's gonna get torn apart - reinforcement and ability or not.

    I love how the leaked storyboard was right on the T for this episode makes me wonder about that spoiler I posted about the F/SN storyboard being leaked on how it's going to end will be true as well.

    Also we will see about if they do a prequel since there is rumor that the manga might be getting canned. It hasn't really been selling well as of late.

  15. #85755
    Can't say I'm upset or angry about Akame's ending due to the leak. So overall, meh? Just a shame they followed the manga pretty well until a certain point. I honestly enjoyed Chelsea's and Bor's death in the anime more than the manga.

    Just to show Akame goes on. Reminded me a lot of Madoka's ending with Homura.

    So far Zero is really just way way way more ecchi fanservice honestly. Just xboxhuge tits jigglin around.

    Akame last episode haven't watched it but I like the way Esdese died judging by screenshots. Really the only satisfying way for her to die.

    Yeah, the anime really ended up hurting how much I liked it. I haven't read the past couple chapters and I'm on episode 11 of the show, after reading these spoilers I'm just going to drop it, I don't even want to keep watching the good episodes anymore.

    Eh, Kuzuki was never really unrealistic - it's just that his speed and power are increased to superhuman levels. Think a supercharged Bruce Lee.

    I like Shirou a lot more as well. Like I said - I came.

    Yeah, and that's the only reason he beat her. If/when they fight again, there's no way Saber will be beaten again.

    I think seeing it animated just helped see how it really was envisioned to be. They certainly showed it enough.

    A lot of people are in the VN - Kuzuki is explained as being someone who was trained from birth to be an assassin. That's why he fights like that, and it's why he's just so deadly when enhanced by Caster.

    Well, I'd say he's a very dangerous combatant, even when not enhanced by Caster. Caster just enables him to go toe-to-toe with Servants, even if just for a few moments.

    It really was. For one, his fighting style is unorthodox. Secondly, he's human - no one expected him to fight like that, especially since no Masters really ever fight on the front lines. The surprise and Caster's enhancing just sealed the deal.

    For me, it was really a combination of the two. Without either one, he'd be useless, but the unique combination makes him stand out from even the Heroic Spirits.

    I would, just because, as Diggu said, seeing those parts is worth it. Just drop it before you get too close to the train wreck.

    I dunno though, Malaysian Vegeta has a pretty deep voice in the cooler movies as well, so that's probably why I'm confused.
