"did anything interesting happen yet"

Uuh, until now?
A whole double set of Servants was revealed, Gilgamesh died, False Rider died, True Archer is dying via poisoning, Flatt died but was resurrected by something inside him that is now possessing him and apparently programmed to destroy earth, and Ishtar arrived via Einzbern homuncolus possession.
Oh, also apparently the whole classroom of Flatt is collectively True Rider Master.


Also, you know, Narita relapse slowed down the last volumes quite a bit.

I mean, Narita at least had a good excuse for the delay between volumes.

I mentioned it on our goon FGO Discord server, but Kingdom Hearts 3, two routes of Tsukihime remake, full rear end light novel chapters in FGO, Toy Story 4, Apocrypha novels AND anime, Babylonia anime, and all the Heaven's Feel movies have been completed in the time SF has just sat there

Even Prillya has had more plot progression and poo poo happening and I don't care about Prillya. Strange Fake's only accomplishment is making me go, "did anything interesting happen yet"

narita talks in the one of the authors notes that his editors stopped him from trying to write from a hospital bed, come on

Alright, fair.

Basically, my feelings about Strange Fake are that I don't jive with Narita's writing style even though he's known for "big interesting casts." Which probably worked out for at least Durarara and maybe those 30+ volumes of Baccano, but the way it translates to Fate stuff hasn't worked out and the big pauses in between haven't helped that.

Does Strange Fake have a decent point for a "CHAPTER 1" style ending? Because that's a weird rear end choice otherwise

his powers are cool as hell so far. i didnt watch enough of apocrypha to see how they handle it, but its fun to see someone write fate powers for an author figure

It really is, even with piece of blue glass moon out I still think it's TM's best looking work because of all the fine details of monojitsukuri's scripting and directing.

Just finished the main story just some loredumps and the extra story left. Really enjoyed it but I was surprised at how much slice of life had the story and how it was what I enjoyed the most. I love these dumb kids.

Also bold of Nasu to make a VN where everyone, with no exception, is a passive-aggressive bitch :v:
