Production values too strong. Then again, I expect nothing less from ufotable.

Always nice to see GAR Shirou.

Honestly, I'm not impressed. It looks like they just relied on fancy mock camera work for that whole scene. The fights and character movement themselves were really typical.

Then again, I just like seeing a lot of detail in movement. This ended up being one of my favorite fights.

That's because you're only viewing it as a fight, but there was a far deeper meaning. All Shirou could do was deflect his attacks, so of course it looked "typical". It was more of a one-sided confrontation. It wasn't meant to be a battle of skill, but rather, a test of will -- and to an extent, ideology, if you're familiar with Shirou's backstory.

Gilgamesh has a MASSIVE superiority complex and believes that everyone is beneath him. It's possible because of that ego that he was reborn as the most powerful Servant.

Shirou states "You're a king, not a warrior"; this is especially evident during his rule as King of Heroes.

His sovereign authority was basically "I am a King, therefore, what else is there to it but to obey me?" Governed by selfish desires, he used his men for whatever he wanted, never truly 'leading' them, much like how he nonchalantly summons his swords.

Essentially, Shirou broke him. Gilgamesh saw him as an insect, stood in one place, and barraged him with his Noble Phantasm. That worked for most everyone he encountered. He absolutely refused to take him seriously.

That final moment in the Reality Marble where he steps back is a symbolization of his arrogant pride being broken. He feared him. He admitted defeat; something he has never done, with the exception of his battle with Saber.

ok yes but for those of us without context or series familiarity that CG camera pan looked pretty silly

That is ufotable's preferred camera work and I haven't really heard of anyone complaining about it.

Kara no Kyoukai uses it fairly often, and those films are amazing. I don't really mind. It's dynamic and it works.

Here is more of an actual "fight" scene.

Still a lot of still images over a moving background and stiff movement, but definitely a lot better. I like the stylized blade animation.

I might definitely be biased though, since I can't stand Fate as a series except for the Ilya spinoff.

The thing is, that basically summarizes 99% of shounen anime. 8D

except for the Ilya spinoff.

I'll respectfully ignore this.

If you want a good Fate spinoff, I suggest watching Carnival Phantasm.

I will admit, that was creative. Way too many cuts to other characters talking, though (as per usual for anime).

The movements actually remind me a lot of something you'd see in Avatar.

Yeah, DanMachi and Chaika were the only two with animation that really impressed me.
Well, first season of Chaika anyways. The second season you could tangibly perceive their budget running out with each episode.

Well, if you like realistic movements and smooth animation, you may like this scene. The voices are higher pitched due to copyright, though.

Even more artistic from the musical score leading you through the fight, rather than the voices.

Lol, I saw that fight a hundred times. One of my favorite parts of the series.

I had a sneaking suspicion you might have; it is an old series, after all.

Still, I always like to point out that scene to people. Truly great scene, and even better with Zuko's character development.

I'm convinced this is the greatest improvised line in media history.

The anime influence is strong in this one

Does this one-shot, continuous fight scene look familiar? That's because Daredevil's hallway scene was inspired by this very moment.

This isn't your typical Hollywood bullshit where the protagonist is a "one-man army" and plows through a group of thugs without issues. [tornado fang] that. Oldboy and Daredevil illustrate raw street fighting. He fumbles and slips, lands a few punches, misses and retreats in a defensive manner while catching his breath.

There is a clear definition of struggle and sloppy movements from fatigue, because no matter how experienced you are, you're just one person.
