Is This Really Something I Can Watch Late at Night?! / Please Don't Update Your System on a Whim!

The very next day, major entertainment media outlets and newspapers reported on this special IMAX preview screening.

Almost all media outlets—regardless of their previous attitudes towards Shinji —described this groundbreaking projection technology as a "miracle" and a "miracle."

Even magazines that dislike Shinji still used words like "amazing" and "shocking" to praise the Naked-eye 3D technology when evaluating it.

Entertainment media outlets are well aware that technological advancements can drive the development of the film industry, regardless of any particular Director's style; it's beneficial to the entire industry.

Even if this technology is difficult to popularize, it is at least a form of technological accumulation for the future of the industry.

However, Shinji never intended to hoard his technology; the technology he invented was meant to be promoted.

In conjunction with media reports, Type-Moon also began its own publicity campaign.

In mid-to-late October, preview clips of "The Super 8" began to be shown for free in multiple IMAX theaters around the world.

In some relatively remote areas without IMAX screens, Type-Moon uses regular 3D without glasses screens instead.

As the world's first 3D without glasses blockbuster, the marketing of <Super 8> differs from traditional promotional activities such as releasing trailers and marketing campaigns.

Although Shinji and Type-Moon Company have popularized 3D and IMAX technologies, moviegoers know very little about them.

A large potential audience for 3D movies is currently completely unaware of the concept of 3D movies. Some viewers may be very interested in 3D, but the high ticket prices of traditional 3D movies deter them from watching them.

Offering free access to movies allows more people to experience Naked-eye 3D movie, which is essential for promoting "Super 8".

Fortunately, most films, including those from Japan and Europe, have a 20-30 minute trailer and pre-roll screen time before the main feature.

This made promoting the <Super 8> trailer much easier than Shinji had initially imagined; all he had to do was pay theaters to show the trailers.

So, in the following period of time, new countries and regions began to screen promotional clips of "Super 8" for free to the public.

On its busiest day, nearly 1,000 screens worldwide, including IMAX screens, screened the promotional trailer for <Super 8>, which allows viewers to see 3D effects without wearing glasses.

Viewers who saw this sample footage could only describe their state of mind as frenzy.

Many viewers even forced themselves to buy tickets for movies they didn't like, just so they could see a preview of <Super 8> one more time.

To help viewers better understand Naked-eye 3D technology, in addition to the three exciting 3D action scenes, the sample footage shown to the audience also included a brief interview with Shinji, leading viewers into the 3D world.

"The 3D technology advantage of <Super 8> is not just that you don't need to wear glasses; its three-dimensional effect absolutely surpasses all 3D movies of the past few decades, and can be said to be a whole new realm of 3D technology."

"From a purely technical standpoint, <The Super 8> is a culmination of my decade-long exploration of film special effects technology."

"A technology honed over ten years"—this was a promotional slogan Shinji set a long time ago.

After all, the primary task of advertising and marketing is to attract attention; the authenticity of the advertising content is secondary.

It's common for on-screen couples and spouses to be faked in movie promotions, not to mention other types of couples.

Unfortunately Shinji was still too young, and Super 8 was an Ultraman series movie, which had little to do with him before he acquired Second Master Productions.

Otherwise, Shinji could really learn from James Cameron's Avatar and use the slogan "Twenty years of hard work just for this one movie".

However, the public opinion sparked by Super 8 was mainly from casual viewers and the media. For Shinji's core fans, Super 8, which will be released next year, is far less important than the second volume of Heaven's Feel, which will be released in November.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Same time, same place, same lounge.

Shibamatsu sat in the same spot as last month, waiting with his companions to appreciate the second volume of HF.

At that moment, he was extremely glad that he had already queued up to buy the DVD last month.

In that case, I won't be the one queuing up to buy DVDs today.

[How lucky! The next few months are freezing cold. Even dogs won't go out in this weather, so queuing overnight to buy DVDs is just asking for trouble.]

Seeing the state of the person who returned after buying the CDs, Shibamatsu felt even more certain that his idea was correct.

"Phew~~ It's freezing!"

The man who walked in rubbed his nose, which was red from the cold, and complained loudly.

"You're a Magecraft, don't you know how to use Magecraft to keep yourself warm?"

Upon hearing this, the red-nosed man glared and said, "No matter how much you try to keep warm, it can't beat a strong wind! I can't exactly perform Magecraft on my face, can I?"

After saying that, he handed the bag in his hand to Azu.

"Here you go, Miss Kuzunoha. I'm going to take a bath to warm up. You're not allowed to look at me until I come out!"

After giving a word of advice, the young man calmly stepped over something that was tied up and walked into the bathroom.

"Waaaaah!"

The "thing" wriggled and made "whimpering" cries for help.

Unfortunately, everyone in the room seemed oblivious, busy with their own tasks, and utterly ignored her.

Shibamatsu had some conscience; he glanced at the red-haired woman whose mouth was taped shut, then subtly gestured to Azu, asking if she should remove the tape from her mouth.

Azu gave Shibamatsu a cold look and asked, "Shibamatsu, do you want someone to spoil the plot for you while we're watching the movie later?"

"Of course not."

Shibamatsu immediately replied.

Azu slightly curled the corners of her lips. "I don't want that either, so she'd better keep quiet."

"Waaaaah!"

"Things," no, it was Aoko forcefully shaking her red hair, seemingly protesting against Azu.

Unfortunately, Azu ignored her completely, and instead carefully unpacked the second volume of HF and put the disc inside into the DVD player.

She certainly wouldn't play the disc prematurely, but once the preparations were complete, she could simply press play as soon as Red Nose came out of the bathroom.

Throughout the process, Aoko kept twisting her body in an attempt to get Azu's attention, but Azu remained unmoved and didn't even glance at her.

Just like the first episode last month, Aoko's grandfather Aozaki Public, also received the second volume of HF DVD ahead of schedule.

Having learned from her previous experience, Aoko skillfully extracted information from her grandfather beforehand, and then watched the second episode with him, becoming the only person among those present to watch the second episode of HF twice.

The reason why someone who has already seen it once attends an appreciation session with a group of people who have never seen it before is self-evident.

Azu, who knew Aoko well, knew very well that this guy was there to spoil the plot for them.

So, when Aoko proudly announced that she had seen it, Azu, without saying a word, ambushed Aoko with a "Magecraft whack" and knocked her down. Then she tied Aoko up with a rope and taped her mouth shut.

Even so, Azu still felt it wasn't safe enough, so she personally applied Magecraft to the rope and tape to ensure that Aoko couldn't break free.

"Just wait until the second episode ends," Azu said, glancing at Aoko. "You can also choose to go to your room and sleep. I'll help you... in your current state, of course."

"Waaaaah!"

[Who the hell could fall asleep like that, tied up like that?!]

Aoko made a sound of displeasure, but she stopped struggling.

Compared to being tied up and unable to do anything, staying here to rewatch the second episode of Heaven's Feel isn't too boring.

"It's so slow..."

Shibamatsu yawned, looking up at the clock for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

When people are waiting for someone and have nothing to do, time always seems to drag on forever.

Actually, the red-nosed guy's shower was quite quick, only taking about ten minutes, but everyone felt like an hour had passed.

"You're finally out! You were so slow!"

Shibamatsu complained to Red Nose Guy, whose nose was no longer red.

The other person gave a helpless shrug. "I've been fast enough."

"Quiet," Azu, sitting in the front row, spoke up. "I'm going to put on a disc."

The club members fell silent, waiting quietly for Azu to begin.

Unlike when they watched the first episode, the young Magecraft, having been frightened once before, collectively chose to watch it with the lights on.

Therefore, even though it was past midnight, the club was still brightly lit.

"Here we go."

As Azu pressed the remote control, she notified the others.

The logo of Type-Moon Company flashed briefly on the TV screen, and episode 2 of HF officially began.

When thick smoke appeared on the television screen, Shibamatsu, expecting the episode to start with horror elements following the attack on Ryuudou Temple by the Cursed Arm from the previous episode, instinctively gripped the sofa cushions.

However, if he lets the audience guess what he's going to do, then he's not Shinji Matou.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw a classroom filled with desks and chairs, and a bewildered Shirou Emiya.

"Here it is..."

Just as Shirou was looking around, a soft moan sounded in front of him.

Ah~~

A woman dressed in a thin school uniform, soaked in sweat, with seductive eyes, sat on the podium, panting as she looked at Shirou.

Upon seeing this unfamiliar woman, Shirou was completely stunned. He staggered towards her, looking bewildered yet uncontrollably.

Come here~~

The woman's dreamy eyes, her barely audible breathing, and the bright pink lighting in the background.

Magecraft aren't ten-year-olds; they immediately guessed the gist of it.

This is the kind of Restricted rating movie/TV show I can watch late at night?!

Shibamatsu immediately hardened his fist.

Wait a minute, this seems like this is what should be shown in a late-night Restricted rating...

Thinking this through, Shibamatsu loosened his fist and nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter 150 Please do not update your system arbitrarily!

The opening scene of HF Episode 2 is destined to be an unforgettable moment in film history.

A white school shirt that's almost see-through, a beautifully curved body, and a pair of full, round, sexy breasts.

In a long take lasting over ten seconds, this woman showed the audience, especially the male audience, what it means to be veiled, sexy, and alluring.

Although this sexy woman isn't any of the female characters familiar to Fate fans, who cares about knowing her or not at this point? All that matters is lust.

For 30 seconds, the woman, wearing a thin shirt, sat kneeling on the podium facing Shirou Emiya's brightly colored camera.

Unfortunately, for the vast majority of male viewers, 30 seconds is simply not enough; it would be better to extend it three or four times longer.

What angered male viewers even more was that, despite the woman hugging and touching Shirou Emiya, she ultimately failed to do anything more.

The two of them didn't even kiss. Just as their lips were about to touch, the woman's eyes turned blood red, and she changed the spot where their lips were supposed to "kiss".

"Luckily, it was just a bite to the neck. If they had drained Shirou Emiya's blood, it would have turned back into a horror movie."

Shibamatsu curled up and muttered a complaint under his breath.

He wasn't the only boy using an odd posture; most of the boys in the room adopted similar strange postures, or at least crossed their legs.

Actually, the guys were starting to regret it; if they had known there would be such scenes, they would have watched them separately from the girls.

That way, they could also press pause to carefully appreciate the woman who made their throats dry.

The memorable opening of episode 2 of Heaven's Feel naturally showcases Shirou's erotic dream.

To achieve such a glamorous effect, one naturally needs a stunningly beautiful woman with "mountains and valleys," for which Shinji has put in a lot of effort.

The two "protagonists" of the original erotic dream Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura, were too embarrassed and firmly resisted filming this scene.

Unable to persuade the two young ladies, the Second Master had no choice but to revise the erotic dream plot, replacing Rin and Sakura, who originally appeared, with another actress who had absolutely no connection to them.

Of course, the official explanation is that the woman who appears at the beginning represents Shirou Emiya's purest [carnal desire].

To make this explanation plausible, Shinji spent a long time choosing the actress.

After all, he has three beautiful girls around him (Saber, Rin, and Sakura), and his affection for one of them is off the charts. With such beauties surrounding him, how could Shirou Emiya still have the mind to think about someone else? This beauty must have some credibility, right?

It's not hard to find good-looking actresses, and it's not hard to find actresses who are both good-looking and have good figures, but it's a bit hard to find actresses who are good-looking, have good figures, and are willing to take their clothes off.
