Speaking of Crowning Moments of Awesome... Just saw the latest UBW trailer...

...I'd LIKE to say the whole movie from top to bottom is gonna consist of pure awesome. But that's a whole lot of story and whatnot to squeeze into a single movie... And we all know how BSG: The Plan turned out... Anime cry

What's the proposed running time?

An hour and a half I think. I don't even think it's being given 2 full hours. There may be no sexism in UBW as there simply may not be any time to fit it in lol.

Even if that's really sexism, then I want it in. Because I'm tired of your usual characters who are always facing danger simply because they're hard headed or simply quivering too much in front of danger while miraculously gathering some courage to hit whatever the devil is causing the danger and possibly defeat it. Shiro defeats those usual characters with his ignorance and idiocy, which might not even be the case.

Sexism in Fate/Stay Night? Mmm, I guess I can imagine that if you only heard Shiro saying things like "Saber, I can not let you fight, because you are a woman". But I don't remember such thing when I watched the show several years ago. I thought Shiro didn't want Saber to fight any more since Saber will literally fade away if she is going to use her power any further (her power is depleting due to the supermoves she performs - there's a way to solved that problem: spoiler[ the anime is doing that "dragon CG" thing and in the Visual Novel: you will know it when you have play "the game", i.e. some 18+ stuff).]. And Shiro is that typical hero who always want to protect the people he loves, so he can not let his friends to fight (at least not let them fight alone).

Not in Unlimited Blade Works...

Let's just say Shiro takes a fast level up in badassery in that particular story route. Which is why I'm really looking forward to this movie.

That...and I really can't take Gilgamesh seriously in his ridiculous armor. I always preferred his more badass "civilian" look:



See? There's just a certain kind of badassery to it...
