Alright, done watching DEEN's Fate Stay Night.
There is no possible comparison with ufotable's work, is all I'll say. Ufotable's take elevates the source material in every conceivable way, and watching this just makes me appreciate UBW and Zero even more. But it also feels like a more close collaboration with Type-Moon? Not sure if that's the case, but it feels that way.
I started getting into Fate through Zero, but it was interesting to see just how much was already set in stone in the original adaptation.
I feel more capable of talking waifus now. Seeing Saber, a centuries old king behaving like a teenage girl isn't very interesting and I don't care a whole lot about her dynamic with Shirou, I think the power balance is a bit too screwed up. Master this, Master that eew.
On the other hand, I rather like Rin's relationship with Shirou, because it feels they're more or less on the same level, and it's fun seeing their back and forth.
Individually though, I like Sakura the best. Her "Senpai" side is extremely annoying, but after all she suffered, I can't help but want a happy ending for her. I also really love the duality of her character. A happy ending would go against the vibe the Heaven's Feel movies are going for, but here's hoping.
I feel like rewatching Zero and UBW again... It's not even been 2 months since the last time.

It's more that what is presented is oddly paced. The dialogue is slow and filled with long pauses. Nothing really happens for half an hour and it couldve easily been 10-15mins. After the intro montage that covers the first few episodes from the series the film is great. I just felt the first 30mins couldve been handled better.

Funny you say that about Presage Flower's pacing, because I have the same complaint, only about Lost Butterfly.
It's true that the first movie's opening 30 minutes take their time, but generally I found the movie extremely fun from beginning to end with just about enough action scenes interspersed throughout that I never felt bored
(Herc vs. Saber, Saber vs. Rider, Lancer vs. Assassin, Caster vs. Everyone, Assassin vs. Saber and Rider vs. Assassin).
Meanwhile, in the second movie,
after the Shirou vs. Rider scene, you have a lot of movie where there's not a whole lot going on, apart from character development, but it felt a bit too long for my tastes. I'm not even sure it's a long time, but it felt like it. The only action scenes in the second movie are Shirou vs Rider, the huge action scene after the middle of the movie and then Gilgamesh kebab, if I remember correctly.
Still some of the finest anime movies I've seen in quite some time. If they stick the landing with Spring Song, we'll have ourselves an amazing trilogy

Might want to spoiler tag some of that for those of us who haven't seen it yet

The Idolm@ster Movie
A fantastic followup to the series with some new faces and more great writing. As usual the animation is fantastic. May look into either SideM or Cinderella Girls next. 9/10

Was never keen on the second season of Black Lagoon, but this seems a lot more promising so far. Shame it's only five episodes.

Watched Expelled from Paradise.
Had a lot less action than I thought it would, it basically only had two scenes: one at the beginning and one at the end.
The three main characters were all fairly interesting, each with their different outlooks on life/existence.
It's a pretty good looking movie, with great use of color, beautiful skies and picturesque backgrounds. Surprisingly feel good story, too!
