So, there's what? Seven characters/personalities across TM that are named Shiki?

Tsuki has Shiki the protag, the real Tohno Shiki, and Nanaya Shiki, of which there are technically two different incarnations, the one in his dreams and the one created by Wallachia.

There's Shiki Ryougi, SHIKI Ryougi, Void Shiki, Shiki Tohno (born Shiki Nanaya), SHIKI Tohno, Fake Shiki (the throwaway villain from Plus-Disk), Shiki Nanaya (as an alternate personality of Shiki Tohno), Shiki Nanaya (the dream one in Kagetsu Tohya), and Shiki Nanaya (the one created by TATARI in Melty Blood).

That's 9 Shikis, although Fake Shiki was only pretending to be a Shiki.

MOD NOTE: Due to the volatility of off-topic conversation prompted by the topic, discussion of whether or not the original visual novel of Fate/stay Night is sexist or not is now OFF LIMITS. If this comes up in the new anime, which this thread is supposed to be about, that's fine, but only in that case. Period. This rule will be strictly enforced.

FSN is clearly sexist, not unlike the superior in every way Fate/Zero :smuggo:

That being said, like everything else in the world, there are problems in this franchise, one of them being that they create insufferable arguments in the first place.

Very true, but I feel like the sexism argument is a special kind of bad. Mostly because it's up there with Shirou being an idiot in missing the point completely and drawing a conclusion that's not quite supported by the work because of it.

I have a tumultuous relationship with the Fate/Stay night franchise. I love the series' prequel Fate/Zero and have… complicated feelings towards the visual novel, of which this series is an adaptation. I played through most of it in the aftermath of Fate/Zero, looking for a continuation of that story, and… did not get that. It's understandable, considering that the visual novel was written first! It has a right to be its own thing! Still, what I didn't expect was some of the worst writing and most heinous misogyny I've seen in a widely acclaimed product since the last time I tried to read a Brett Easton Ellis novel.

Yeah I bet the comments on these reviews are just awesome.

Apparently, that was after 20 pages of comments (at like 15 comments a page) of people arguing back and forth about whether the anime was sexist over one weekend after the review was posted, which is kinda insane... The reviewer for ANN is a film studies major, so she approaches it in a way that pisses off many Fate fans who have their already clearly formed opinions.

For some reason, I decided to get in on the arguing this weekend after a whole thing where the reviewer panned this latest episode and people were going nuts about it. She's clearly skeeved out by a lot of the rabid fanbase Fate has, and really dislikes the way the Shinji attacking Rin scene was done this past episode, calling it titillating fanservice.

Also, the assistant editor of ANN, JesuOtaku, is RGD Internet Critic Discussion thread regular Jay O, and she pretty much hates this show. She and the ANN Executive Editor just put out a 2 and a half hour podcast with a guest Fate fan earlier this week that is pretty negative about Fate/Zero, as well as the fanbase of the show as well. It explains why she never comes by ADTRW though, I guess...

Biggest problem seems to be that the ANN crew have Doylist (as in the out of universe explanation and what led the author to write a story the way he did, aka what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is thinking when he writes the Sherlock Holmes stories) takes on the show, while Fate fans seem to prefer Watsonian (as in the material provided in universe for explanation, aka what James Watson explains to a reader in Sherlock Holmes stories) interpretations...

Really?? I would think that scene wouldn't titillate anyone, people would want Shinji to get punched. Which happened.

Most crit towards the Fate franchise as a whole, I mostly agree with because they aren't baseless and the fandom in general sucks, but sometimes there's just plain misinterpretation.

I'm trying to listen to that, but it just gets frustrating to have the guest fan stop and explain everything all the time. "Technically..." I guess it's fair and balanced all that, but by god is it hard to listen to.
