You really are thicker than paste, you know that?

I know there's a movie out about it, I know there's a visual novel route and a manga too. I'm well bloody aware of the prolifieration of the UBW route. My point is, that you're complaining because of three words instead of waiting to actually see what they do. You just said the manga was better, well the manga is marked Unlimited Blade Works also, so if it's capable of doing something new and interesting, why not wait for the anime and see what it does instead of dismissing it just cause of three words.

If you pulled your head out of your ass and paid attention, maybe you'd realise, I wasn't commenting on how much they focus on UBW, I was commenting on your apparently "true feelings" about the series being based solely on the route title instead of the content of the actual anime.

Speaking of feelings though, you've got some nerve to say that the given pairings are dead and that no one cares about them, and then expect people to take your viewpoint seriously. Some people are actually in it for the interactions and relationships and you don't get to sit there and decide that people don't care and then demand your viewpoint be respected.

All I did was point out that the Shiro/Rin pairing is one of the markers for UBW, including Shiro's fight with Gilgamesh, Archer's rebellion and so forth, the same way that Shiro/Sabre is a marker of Fate and Shiro/Sakura a marker for Heaven's Feel. If you can't recognise that, you clearly wweren't paying attention.

As for the other things you brought up, I'll just bash them out quickly. I brought up the budget in passing as a reference to your argument. if you feel the anime didn't warrant the budget it took to make it because it's just a retread of the movie, then you'd actually have a legitimate argument. That's why I brought it up, you dumbass.

As for Shiro being least in control in UBW, that's a matter of opinion, as he got the big fight against Gilgamesh in UBW, therefore essentially putting the fate of the route in his hands.

If you want to have a "friendly" conversation, recognize the difference between a rational argument and your own opinion. If three words is all it takes to sway you, whatever, that's not my business, but don't bring it in here where other people are going to wait for the actual anime and then make up their minds. As for being a retread, let me give you some very basic mathematics as the last nail in your stupid coffin.

A movie is about 90 to 120 minutes on average. A series of 12 episodes (Fate/Zero ran to 24) consisting of roughly 20 minute episodes (As a low guess) would be 240 minutes. If you really think you'll get nothing new out of double the time at minimum, then you really are an idiot.
