Compendium posted:He has one, it's being a jerk or bugfuck insane It's why he'll always have a soft spot in my heart. Yeah, some might say Nanaya mode is Shiki when he's cool as hell, but they're not entirely right: Nanaya Shiki is loving bonkers and the ludicrous leaps in logic he makes when a monster is nearby are far more impressive than his feats of physicality. "Nero is a lot of stuff put together. I do not know if I can kill each and every individual creature that makes him before they recombine and revive." "Hmmm....guess I'll just press this button instead." "This dude just trivialized Arc and her reality marble. I will die if I fight him. I suppose my only strategy then is just to kill him before I die. It's different from Shirou's approach, too, since Shirou just doesn't give a poo poo what happens to himself so long as he saves the day. Shiki is just a huge gambler on being an effective super murderer when the moment calls for it. He bets on himself even when he sees no chance of success, because gosh darn it he has ONE COOL TRICK and by golly he's just got to find a way to use it better...er.

I'm thinking maybe I need to reread Tsukihime

You do. I've been rereading Tsukihime and I've just been going, "Wow, Shiki's a jerk and ohmygod what made you think this is okay!?"

Shiki's this loner guy who at a glance seems really chill, but really he's just a selfish jerk who wants to go through life's motions without having to deal with anyone - which is good, because he's just comically awful at actually dealing with people when he tries. He really is the anti-Shirou.

Half the time, he's making jabs at the people he is close to like Arc and best buddy Arihiko.

He gets stalked by a battle nun that smells like curry, the only TV in the house is in the room of the maid that spikes his food, he has crippling anemia, and his sister won't let him sneak out of the house at night to hang out with vampires. Shiki has every right to be kind of a jerk.

Shiki has every right to be kind of a jerk. Also his entire clan was slaughtered by a half-demon, he got his memory fried and then died by getting his chest torn open. I'd be grumpy too.

When I call Tohno a jerk, I do mean it endearingly because otherwise he'd just be a bland harem protagonist.

In anticipation for the next episode of Apocryha I think my favorite part of the episode was just how psyched Mordred looked when she was summoned.

Fate Zero was more depressing then I remembered. Berserker should've dual wielded awps. He would've been good in call of duty.

I haven't seen it yet, because so far, the Extella OP sticks out to me as not very good, so if Apoc is somehow worse...

It also presents a better explanation to why Amakusa went out of his way to take control of almost all the Red Servants.

I have fond memories of making the second season UBW thread... That said, I'm waiting for three eps of Apoc to come out, so I can have a bunch to watch in a sitting.

I basically only come to this thread for that, so having a thread specifically for it would help (as I try to stop myself from downloading Grand Order, because I'm not good at keeping up with phone games and I'll likely just leave it nearly immediately anyways). Anyways, did better subs come out? I tried to check the new episode earlier and the subs were horrendous.

Is unlimited blade works considered to be better than Fate zero? I found unlimited blade works to be kinda uneven and all over the place in tone. Maybe it was too short? I thought Saber would be more angry considering the events in the past but she barely seemed to acknowledge shirou and his dad. Whats up with that? And why do they keep killing kids jeez.

Sorry I meant there seems to be more stories to explore I guess. Fate zero felt more complete to me. I didnt play the games/novels though so I'm not sure.
