Kyte posted:"Seigi no Mikata" means "Ally of Justice". At some point some translator made it into "Hero of Justice" and it stuck. I just got to that scene myself at work and had stared in disbelief until I got to Tohsoka verbally strangling Shirou; this explanation makes me feel a lot better now that I understand this context.  I can't help but notice how quickly that dude got his Avatar from SAO. e: quote:To a certain degree, you’ll see this in normal, everyday interaction. Families and friends will regularly, when speaking to a non-family member or non-clique member, basically boil down to insulting their own family or friends to show that same humility for their in-group to an out-group member. Say Seo tells Akiha “Your brother is so hardworking and loyal.” Akiha immediately responding “No, he’s a lazy-rear end bum that never does what I tell him” is not just her being tsun. It is literally the socially acceptable response. Even if what Seo says is true, if you accepted that kind of out-group (not-family) complement for your in-group (family), it can be perceived as being too arrogant and elevating one’s own in-group. If Shiki was an entirely diligent brother that obeyed every command, Akiha would still be expected to say that he was not. Keigo is a linguistic personification of this sort of attitude. Maybe that has something to do with the fascination behind the idea of tsundere. These are great, but holy crap this is the opposite to how I've been raised in the West. Here, we pull the Lanniser/Stark Game of Thrones thing where its family first outsiders come gently caress never. Raenir Salazar fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Dec 7, 2014 |

Here, we pull the Lanniser/Stark Game of Thrones thing where its family first outsiders come gently caress never. It is family first, but combined with Japanese humility. Essentially the family is being treated as a single unit, and Akiha is accepting the compliment on his behalf. Saying "yeah, I'm really proud of myself" is seen as arrogant, so she instead tried to downplay it by saying 'no, really, I'm not that great". It's way more "family first" than what you're thinking of, since the individuals aren't even seen as individuals, they're merely instances of their family. Of course, it also applies to coworkers and classmates and whatever other groups you might be a part of.

People are mostly complaining that the anime so far has been boring, Zero is just the easiest comparison to make because it's set in the same universe.

It's funny. When UBW began I also thought to myself that Zero was better, so I started to watch that again. But holy poo poo Kiritsugu is such an overly dramatic emo protagonist who's hard to care about because it's impossible for him to do something cool without him getting all choked up over it later. Shirou is so much more enjoyable as a protagonist because even though he's experienced horrible trauma, he's not constantly whining about it.

E: re: Beef Waifu in the bad thread, I never really found UBW to be a slow route at all. There's quiet moments, but they are spaced out properly. That said if people find UBW slow now, let's imagine how HF is going to be. Rody One Half fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Dec 7, 2014 |

I wrapped up the main game of Hollow this morning and am dealing with the last few bits for 100% completion (I think it's just eclipse scenes at this point, non of which I've looked at) in-between the all important internet arguments, and I think I've realized the most sinister thing about both this game and FSN: The music. Like, it's especially noticeable in the case of Hollow because it's almost ALL slice of life nonsense, but that music is specifically designed to just hypnotize you and make you not realize you just spent 50 hours, the length of the average JRPG, reading about teenagers forcing superhumans to participate in their dumb school play.

In the VN, Rin mentions that when Shirou eventually "grows into being a Magus" she'd come around to visit him to "collect" something, what is she collecting? Circuits?

Another reason that makes the whole Kiritsugu thing hilrious to me is that UBW as a route is basically saying "gently caress off" with his negative mindset as the main point.

Apparently the manga version of that old April Fool's joke, Sensha Otoko, got translated at some point. Go read it and experience the adventure of El Melloi-tan and the hopeless nerd Iskander.

Beside people being butthurt about minor spoiler and caster doesn't have a evil face like fate/zero, I guess there might be thematic reasons that ufotable choose to keep hiding it amidst all the purple hair confusion between caster, rider, assasin, and sakura. Edit: I guess she is suppose to be a surprise humanizing tragic figure in her own route and various scenes with her master. Nyaa fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Dec 8, 2014 |
