I almost reported whoever suggested Princess Jellyfish, I got so mad.


Don't taint the purity of my Fate/Stay Night fandom, you heartless loving villain.

Peace friend. Fate and Kuragehime are both ok and good. Kakukaku Shikajika by the author from the latter is better though.

Bladestorm was cool, but it got really grindy. Seeing their interpretation of Gilles de Rais as my first introduction to the person made seeing Caster in Fate/Zero pretty jarring. And I will say DoA 5: LR is a guilty pleasure. Mila and Tina rule.

As for the show, I'm looking forward to it, and I'll probably be making a ton of gifs again!

On the other hand while I like it suggesting Maria as better than FSN is god drat hysterical.

If the thumbnails on the Funimation youtube channel tell me anything, it's that it probably has more boob than both seasons of UBW has combined.

It's nowhere near as pretty, but it does handle and present its themes more gracefully, if that's what you look for in a show. As fun as it is, it's hard to dispute that Fate's writing is pretty juvenile.

Graceful presentation like having your zealous priest turn around and suddenly leap forward through centuries of philosophy because the witch did a nice thing for an old lady.

I prefer anime when its writing is more juvenile so that works out.

E: the other huge problem is Maria is a backstory black hole who just apparently walked out of the woods one day acting like a modern Japanese teenager

We're talking comparatively. And that was pretty obviously a case of a very wound-up guy taking one tiny push to unwind all over the place.

Maria the Virgin Witch is pretty juvenile also, but it's snappy and fun which puts it leagues above fate which doesn't even function as entertainment.

I mean it's cool that the author did his research I just wish he could make Bernard a good villain or that Taniguchi could make him credible via good directing :shrug:

I can understand having a hate boner for Fate, but try to be more truthful despite your hate and admit to yourself that there are people who do find well animated action scenes entertaining.

I mean if you were being funny at all like Dick Spacious was, I would possibly let it slide. However, posts like the Devil Tesla's are insufferable and worse than some of the other posting that's going to happen in this thread, don't do it.

Even though I like this series there's a lot to criticize about it, which makes it all the more mystifying that most criticisms of this show are about the dumbest things. It's obviously subjective but reading Fate threads actually make me a little bit less bothered about the its flaws, just because the discussion of them is so bad.

On the other hand I don't really understand the fascination with Servants and the Grail War system in general. I feel like Nasu's worldbuilding and system mechanics are plain technobabble that wouldn't be out of place in a budget JRPG. Whoever translates things like Noble Phantasms and Heaven's Feels and other Capitalized McGuffins must have a hard time.
