I say this every month, but the latest Emiya Gohan was so good, especially young Taiga.

The latest episode was really good and a good showing of both young Taiga and baby Shirou.

I thought the whole thing was suppose to be a meta-commentary on how disjointed and off-mark both Shinji and Sakura were in what Type-Moon thought people would think of the characters vs. how people actually thought of the characters. Neither had much popularity and not enough of Sakura's good side was shown to establish any empathy for when she goes full EVIL in HF. All of Sakura's lamentations on being a tragic helpless heroine and cold-blooded stabbing fools while Rider looks on in exacerbation seems petty accurate to the source material. It's taken many years and the rise in popularity of yandere and crazy bitches for Sakura to gain any popularity.

I mean, parody of overblown drama is not uncommon in comedy shows, even when the subject matter is dark. I assume it works on the target audience that actually knows what's being parodied. And it was deliberately framed as overblown drama, you can tell even without having the cultural context.

There is an rule where if someone uses "meta-commentary" seriously, with no irony, they are about say something bad and not good. Once more, this universal constant has been proven to be true.

I didn't find the skit funny the first time I watched it, so I had to watch it a few times to try and figure out what they were trying to do or say. Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there and all it is is them making fun of Japanese dramas and HF at the same time. I was mostly thinking about the Let's Play of Heaven's Feel which had a lot of people either reacting for the first time or echoing the sentiment that they didn't really like Sakura and the reasons why. It's just my assumption that that was the problem most people who didn't like Sakura had with her. And I was thinking about the comment on the 10th anniversary popularity poll which had Sakura ranked fairly high and (at least according to the wiki translation) that "the times are finally catching up with Sakura" which I took to mean that the type of character and behavior that Sakura displays is gaining more popularity therefore Sakura is gaining more popularity. But none of that stuff is on display in the actual skit, so I'm probably adding things to it that aren't really there.

It's really more like some of the extended media started giving her some focus so she naturally got more popular

It's taken many years and the rise in popularity of yandere and crazy bitches for Sakura to gain any popularity. The Most Heinous Misogyny is coming from inside the thread! I've actually come to sour on Sakura's characterization somewhat when I realized that Heaven's Feel revolves around two pieces of ethical sleight of hand: the supernatural things affecting her mind are just vague enough that she's exactly as responsible or not responsible for the actions of the Shadow or Dark Sakura as the reader wants her to be, and the people killed by the Shadow aren't individually characterized. Interestingly, these criticisms also apply to half the Tsukihime characters (though not to Sakura's Tsukihime semi-counterpart Kohaku).

Fun fact, did you know that in the standalone PSP port of the Hollow Ataraxia hanafuda minigame, Gilles meets Nero and confirms that while Nero and Jeanne are both Saberfaces, Nero is not a Jeanneface, unlike Saber, who is.

IIRC it's because she doesn't have the same "feel"/aura/whatever of purity/holiness about her, yeah? Nero is far too uninhibited basically.  compared to these other two who sacrificed so much.

It's reiterated in FGO. quote:Hmmm, something is off. Just being a blond swordswoman won't work. Your cleanliness, cuteness, modesty, and purity aren't enough...if fact I would say you don't have any of these things. The personality aspects are more important to Gilles than the physical resemblance. He says it to both Nero and Mordred.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I have absolutely no clue who that is Basically: He almost won the Moon grail war, but couldn't actually use the grail because he was an NPC based off of a dead person, and not actually that peson. So he set up shop outside the grail room's door with his servant, the absurdly overpowered Savior, and asked everyone who got to him "Hey can you wish on the grail to make the grail war permanent?" because in Twice's mind, war brings out the best in people. When the near-winner obviously said no, that's insane, he shrugged and had Savior turn them into a bloody smear on the floor before waiting for the next poor schmuck. What confused you? If it was Last Encore related you are not alone. Endorph posted:the worst person in type moon is makihisa Probably, but I meant Fate specifically. Though TM likes rape as a backstory element enough that I wouldn't be surprised if there was still someone worse.

Though at least Zouken used to be a better person 200 or so years ago; Makihisa doesn't have that (he gradually succumbed to Inversion Impulse, but his sane self knew full well what he was doing).
