It's cause MegaBox is doing this thing where they're reairing popular anime movies.

Love Live and SAO and AnoHana and other stuff are also airing.

I know this because I check MegaBox religiously.

The game is a timesquad style adventure and gets crazy good writing-wise as it goes on. Camelot, Babylonia, Shinjuku, and Lostbelt 1 are some of the best written stuff in the franchise.

If you start now they're running a Fate Zero collaboration event.

You get to watch Adult Waver (possessed by the servant powers of Zhuge Liang) sequence break the 4HGW like some kinda AGDQ Speed runner.

This includes yelling at his younger self a lot and telling him to choke on rice and die. :allears:

But during the plotting stage, even though I said, “Write something with a happy ending for once,” first he asked me, “Can’t I have this character kill this other character and end it there?” and he gave me a plot that was even darker than Fate/Zero. [laughs] I said, “What kind of festival do you think we’re making here?! Gen, you should believe more in dreams, aspirations, and the bonds between people!” and had him revise the whole thing.

Nasu is great. :allears:

It isn't, it's suffering against a merciless gacha.

That's basically what it is, yeah, featuring all your favorite characters (IE: Not Sieg) from past Fate installments, as well as plenty of new fun ones (like Marie Antoinette or Jalter or the heart-meltingly adorable Mash) as well as some not so good ones (Orion).

It's one of those cases where it could be any of them due to ~reasons~ and you're basically told to not think about it too much.

Also definitely give it a try, it's a ton of fun and develops most of the FSN cast in some new/better/interesting ways. I both regretted sitting on it for so long, but also not because I waited until there was a voice patch and that really did make a big difference IMO.

All three of them. Rin screwed up an experiment involving the Second Magic (which, as you may recall, deals with parallel universes and alternate timelines), and it caused elements and outcomes of all three routes to blend together.

Hollow Atraxia also has a pretty cool little horror story to start it off.

I was just thinking about how I didn't really like how Fate/Heaven's Feel worked out for Saber but also didn't like UBW because it left Sakura with the short end of the stick, so HA sounds like my kinda deal.

As it should be.

Thinking about it I might be thinking of one of the bad endings but doesn't Sakura end up spending the rest of her life pining for Shirou in HF? Well, uh, at least things kinda work out in GO?

the normal end of HF is shirou dying of being swords and then sakura spends her life waiting to go to the cherry blossoms with him

the true end is much nicer

That's the normal end, which isn't the canon ending. The true ending is just Sakura, Shirou, Rin, and Medusa living together.

Yeah, definitely check out Hollow Ataraxia. About 90% of it is just watching almost the entire cast from Fate/Stay Night doing everyday slice of life stuff, like you see in Carnival Phantasm or Emiya Gohan, it's pretty drat great.

Gen Urobuchi, in the Afterword to Fate/Zero volume 1 posted:

Gen Urobuchi wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts.
Those who know about my creative history will probably furrow their brows and think this is a sick joke. Honestly, I have trouble believing it myself. For when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair.
The truth is, I haven't always been this way. I have often written pieces that didn't have a perfect ending, but by the last chapter the protagonist would still possess a belief that "Although there will be many hardships to come, I still have to hold on".
But ever since I don't know when, I can no longer write works like this.
I have nothing but contempt for the thing men call happiness, and have had to push the characters I poured my heart out to create into the abyss of tragedy.
For all things in the world, if they are just left alone and paid no attention, are bound to advance in a negative direction.
No matter what we do, we can't stop the universe from getting colder, either, and on the same principle. This world is only maintained in existence by a series of logical, common-sense processes; it can never escape the bondage of its physical laws.
Therefore, in order to write a perfect ending for a story you must possess the power to break the chain of cause and effect, invert black and white, and act in complete contradiction to the rules of the universe. Only a heavenly and chaste soul, a soul that resounds with genuine praise for humanity, can save the story; to write a story with a happy ending is a double challenge, to the author's body as well as the mind.
At some point, Gen Urobuchi lost that power. He still hasn't recovered. The "tragedy syndrome" is still continuing within me. Is this a terminal disease? Should I give up on the pure "warrior of love" that I have longed for? Or mount a pallid battle steed and reincarnate into a bearer of the plague... could it be that I can only create pieces that give men courage and hope in my next life? (When I wrote this, I accidentally wrote "courage" as "lingering ghosts". I guess that's what I get for using IME — Ah, I just wrote "IME" as "hatred"... is there no way out of this for me?)

Nasu, in an interview about Grand Order and the Zero collab event posted:
