The problems that Japanese animators face

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REOf3xfamzM

 The people at the top hoard all the fruits of labor from the people at the bottom.  Artists and animators - the people who sit and draw thousands upon thousands of frames - are the backbone of an anime and thus the most important components in a production. They deserve much more recognition + 5x higher wages! 

Ufotable is the best studio for the FATE series

Having seen Fate/Apocrypha by A1 Studio, Fate/Extra by Shaft, Fate/Grand Order by Lay-duce, FGO Babylonia by Cloverworks, I conclude that all those studios did not adapt Fate nearly as well as Ufotable did.

I want Ufotable to animate ALL of Fate series - especially my favorite Arcs: Babylonia and Solomon!

Ufotable's quality animation is what brought me to, and kept me hooked on, the Fate series in the first place.

What other studios did better than Ufotable:  Shaft - for example - did a better job than Ufotable at delivering the chemistry between the 2 main leads in Fate/Extra and making Nero very likable.

Ufotable's artwork is superior to most other studios.  They make the characters' faces look very beautiful.  My only pet peeve with their artwork is how characters seem to lack noses (LOL).

Ufotable did a splendid job at showcasing each character's personality to the fullest.  Every moment delivers.  Every character gets their personality shine perfectly. I doubt that other studios would be able to deliver interesting characters like Gilgamesh, Iskandar and Archer as perfectly as Ufotable did.

Cloverworks' animation is very good but the artwork is lacking: there is a "same face syndrome" and the faces lack depth/shading and also look 5 years younger than how they should look. It's not comparable to Ufotable.

UFOTABLE's strength is not only animation and art but also at delivering epicness and emotional impact, such as:

1. eg1, summoning scene
2. eg2, Iskandar vs. Gilgamesh
3. eg3, Archer
4. the moment when Kiritsugu saved Shirou 
5. UBW ending scene

The only studio that I've seen that is equally good at delivering scenes is WIT Studio.

Ufotable + Fate = dream team!

The most powerful speeches in anime history

"The protection of gods is no longer needed in the world of man. As proof, I built a fortress, and you all answered my call. I know now, with certainty, that it was no mistake. And now this final trial will test it, and us, to the utmost.
Now is the time to deny the primordial gods and begin the Age of Man! Mind yourselves, my elite warriors! This is the battle for true separation from the gods! Give your lives to me, the king! Pass on the glory that is Uruk to generations to come, to the last man!"
~ Gilgamesh's declaration to Uruk in Fate/Grand Order: Babylonia



"It's all meaningless. No matter what dreams or hopes you had... No matter how blessed of a life you've lived... It's all the same if you're shredded by rocks. Everyone will die someday. Does that mean that life is meaningless? Was there even any meaning in our being born? Would you say that of our fallen comrades? Their lives... were they meaningless? NO, THEY WEREN'T!  It's we who give meaning to our comrades' lives! The brave fallen! The anguished fallen! The ones who will remember them... are us, the living! We die here, trusting the living who follow to find meaning in our lives! That is the sole method in which we can rebel against this cruel world! MY SOLDIERS, RAGE! MY SOLDIERS, SCREAM! MY SOLDIERS, FIGHT!"
~ Erwin in Attack On Titan



"And there you go. You heard her, Iri. Our Heroic Spirit over there considers a battlefield to be better than hell. What a joke! A battlefield is Hell itself. There's no hope to be had on one. There is nothing but unspeakable despair. Just a soulless crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated. But humanity has never recognized this truth. And the reason is that, in every era, a dazzling hero has blinded the people with their legends and kept them from seeing the evil of bloodshed they bring. True human nature has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age."
~ Kiritsugu Emiya in Fate/Zero
