In Heaven's Feel Zouken comments about Ilya being a "hastily constructed automaton" or something like that; basically she doesn't age correctly and she only has a lifespan of ~20 years even if she survives F/SN.

(It's the scene right before Mind of Steel -- not the bad end itself, but Ilya offering to help you when every other ally is dead or gone and Tohsaka's about to kill Sakura for being a heretic. You're in this hopeless situation and suddenly the near-unstoppable force that spent half of the Fate route murdering you is on your side.) It doesn't pan out, of course, but my reaction at the time was pure

HF is kind of odd. The beginning and most of the middle are pretty dull and meandering (mostly because everyone's worried about Sakura), but after a very distinct moment, everything becomes completely, amazingly awesome. Especially the very last battle.

Honestly, if you care about Sakura (which you should, she's actually a really well-written and sympathetic character all things considered) the beginning and middle are pretty awesome. Not gonna deny that it definitely picks up at a certain point, though, the fights after that point are some of the best ever and make me really hope HF gets animated.

This isn't related to the episode but rather to the stream itself: What the hell is up with this 'null' thing on all the English comments? It reminds me of Reddit i.e. sounding totally loving dumb no no reason at all. Not much else to say people haven't said already. Rider is just the best.

HF is basically terrible for most of the first 3/4 (aside of a few scenes with Kirei and Ilya) because Sakura is an awful character and basically everyone who is interesting is killed off. The entire last act is a gigantic series of  as gently caress battles (plus more Kirei and Ilya) though, and that makes the slog worth it.

From what I can tell, they put a rather indiscriminate censor on the comments where stuff gets nulled rather than just blocked. Kinda weird, since there's nothing like that on the Japanese version and I don't know that they need to keep it family friendly, but whatever. Anyway, the Japanese don't seem to understand the concept of words separated by spaces, and one of the blocked words appears to be "Fat". So we're all watching Nulle/Zero.

Sakura's my favorite heroine and all, and it does make perfect sense for everyone to just stop and hover over her, but it really does make HF pretty drat dull. F/HA did a lot more to make me like Sakura than F/SN, really. quote:Not gonna deny that it definitely picks up at a certain point, though, the fights after that point are some of the best ever and make me really hope HF gets animated. I'd be happy just to see Sparks Liner High and All The Evil/Good In This World. Still disappointed that out of all of Shirou's most awesome moments, his confrontation with Archer and Nine Lives Blade Works were the only things that got into Battle Moon Wars. Though I guess Shiki got off even worse. BlitzBlast fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Oct 9, 2011 |

No idea about Take Moon, but even in the more WTF scenes of KT (which was a dream anyways so it's justified) and (the original) MB, the Tsukihime characters were never that bad. But second episode of CP and oh look Akiha is fantasizing about Shiki and Hisui is doing that weird mind control thing that's great. Oh well, still funny. V  V.

I just watched UBW for the first time. It seemed quite good to me, though I haven't played the game. Shirou was still Shirou, but he didn't annoy me nearly as much as in the series. Possibly because he didn't have as much time to do so.

Take Moon is the manga that CP is based on (it's not an real adaptation though, it's just drawing from the same ideas), only it's actually funny for the most part and not ever chapter is actually a full blown comedy (there's a chapter where SHIKI meets Arhihiko that I absolutely love). Really the problem with Carnival Phantasm is that most possible goofy Type Moon jokes have already been driven into the ground by previous works and by the enormous doujin community so it doesn't actually have much left for it to do. THIS IS WHY YOU CAN'T JUST MILK FATE FOREVER NASU, YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY RELEASE NEW MATERIAL. Portable Staplefrog posted:I just watched UBW for the first time.

Well, I've basically got no idea what's going on. Rider's interesting, Caster is a freaky fish man, Assassin is full of holes. Guessing Kotomine's plan wasn't that straightforward though. Saber and Archer are pretty much as I'd expect. I want to see more of Berserker soon though. The design really makes me think of Dark Souls. Just need Lancer now and that's the full set I guess. Going to be cautious with spoilers, this series seems really interesting so far.

Unfortunately, most of Berserker's best scenes will probably wind up in the second half of the series IIRC. He's also the only servant whose identity stays a secret for any real length of time, so watch out for spoilers about him in particular.

Well, that was much better than that first episode, which wasn't exactly bad to begin with. The first episode was drowning in self-seriousness, but that's been more than rectified. I find myself waiting for the Order of the Triad to make an appearance. Even if they don't, I'm going to assume this takes place in the same universe as The Venture Bros. unless it states otherwise; though it likely won't happen, Patrick Warburton would make an ideal Rider in a dub of this; and Waver has the twinkle and shine of a certain younger Rusty Venture. This show is crazy and also sort of stupid in an enjoyable way. It should be a musical.

I was kind of thinking about reading Fate/Zero, but I think I'll just watch this through instead. Loving Rider so far, he's the greatest.  Also, Illya is literally that chick from Orphan.

Ask in the Mac Gaming thread in Games if you want to know more, I'm not too knowledgeable about it. F/SN runs fine in WINE, though, and ONScripter is open-source so you can run Tsukihime natively if you have the data files.
