How difficult is Fate to get into

I choose to interpret it as "is the difficulty of getting into Fate high or low relative to the value I will probably get out of it", and I think the answer is pretty high, and the value isn't that big.

There's a lot of misogynist nonsense in the first third of the VN if that is a dealbreaker to you.

if you don't enjoy the format after giving it a shot you could try the ufotable ubw anime, though it kinda sticks too rigidly to the VN in places so there's lots of scenes of characters just sitting around talking.

Looks pretty good. I'll have to see the actual dance scenes before I commit though. The manga does action so well, the anime has a high bar to get over.

still kinda wish it was the other ballroom dancing manga though

Rumors of a new Gundam being announced on March 24th.

It is called Mobile Suit Gundam Twillight Axis and will be directed by Se Jun Kim. It looks to be based off a light novel that is being serialized in Yatate Bunko.

The actual Fate route is a solid Urban Fantasy adventure romp with most of the usual story telling tropes; what makes FSN shine for me is how the next two routes kinda go back and look at the original work as a retrospective taking it apart and then putting it back together.

Yeah. FSN, perhaps more than any other VN I can think of, utilizes its route structure in a surprisingly intelligent way in terms of characterization and contrasting storylines.The way certain characters behave and interact changing route-to-route, as well as the way story beats do or do not play out, is really neat as you progress through. Both of the better, later two routes would lose a decent amount without the background knowledge from Fate.

The major point of this subforum is that we are not "enough people". If people want that there are plenty of echo chambers out there to wade in. While we have popularity contests and things, this is a place where different opinions can be expressed so that anyone individually can freely form their own opinion.

I think dissenting opinions should be encouraged and challenged, just as those opinions themselves try to challenge the majority. Discouraging them is what really feels lame.

I feel justified in saying that's it's not worthwhile wading through 20-30 loving hours of the Fate route to get to the bit that is maybe good. At least enough for this to count as a dissenting opinion. There's a point at which 'oh give it a try' doesn't cut it.

It is exceedingly difficult to revist the Fate route after you've already played the game, I will say. When I reread the VN when the 2012 RN patch came out it took me months to get through Fate because so much of it is obviously spent on establishing the skeleton of the story and thus has more exposition and over-explanations than the rest. A lot of characters are just kind of weirdly portrayed, which perhaps might be a given since their incarnations have evolved so much over the years. Its HGW is also the most by the books and the least interesting of any that I can think of.

It seems like they'd do that as an OVA, but the OVA lineup is currently pretty full with Thunderbolt, Origin, and Build Fighters

It was the contrapositive of the typical "heh its good watch it" statement. Both are weak but have use, especially in a comedy forum. It was a satirical post (opinion me) but man some of you are taking this way too personally.
