Actually i was getting the feeling that there was at least one meaning. I took Kotomine Risei and Tohsaka Tokiomi to be opposites with Kirei being in the middle because he was both (and at the same time neither).
At least that's what my impression was. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of paradox spiral in there as well.

The image I got from that scene was of predators circling their prey. I guess rather than taking it to mean Risei and Tokiomi were opposites, I got the sense that it symbolized how they were working together to control Kirei. So I got a sense of collusion.
I thought it was an interesting shot, so it's sort of funny to me that everyone's complaining about it.

Absolutely god awful news.
Not only that, but it seems the Blu-ray will include scenes that will be omitted from the TV airing. So not only will we be getting a stupid and pointless 3 month break after episode 12, we also won't even be watching the real complete and final product. |

Scenes being cut out from the TV broadcast and later added to the blu-ray release is pretty . I guess it's more to do with not having enough time, though i'd also bet there's a few scenes you wouldn't be able to show on TV.

Sheesh, couldn't they announce sooner that they would split the series? Not that it would have changed anything, but it would have saved me the disappointment.
Read: We did it for the lulz so we have no clue, we'll just let viewers come up with a meaning. And it works, as always.

Count me in that disappointed with split cours btw The extra scene is just adding replay value for me, its fine. Also, they planned to sell the BD-BOX straight away? not on per volume basis?

Spoiler for Episode 1:
Hard to believe there's anything worse out there that they couldn't get away with at the midnight slot... But I don't know the source material, so maybe there is, I suppose. Still, pretty disappointing. I now feel I should wait till June to watch this so I get the final and complete experience, but that'd be pretty hard to do after having already watched dat first episode. |

It took 3 months after the release of the first novel for the second to come out, 4 months after that the 3rd novel was released. Another 5 months and the 4th and final novel was released. Toughen up, novel readers had it worse, and if this split cour means we won't see a lack of animation and clear cost cutting like in the first episode again than I'm all for it.

^True, but the novel market and the animation one are very different. It is very strange to split one series into two (and that doesn't even mean two seasons), so it really kills the mood per se.
I hope this will make them change the OP and ED, at least lol I'm still counting on that. |

The point is, this is MEGA project... They can put more development time instead taking a "break" in middle. If they planning makes 2 cours straightaway aired, they CAN do it, But its just not their decision. Some people can disappoint with that decision. And I think the decision is more about business PoVs.

As much as I liked ep1, very little was actually animated. The high quality art, backgrounds and BGM certainly gave the episode a movie quality feel though. A little disappointed to hear about the split season but i'm all for it if it's to maintain the quality, I just wished they'd announced it from the start so I wouldn't have hyped myself up for 25 weeks of non-stop awesome. |
