Google claims it's Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge, but that doesn't seem right - or is it just that I haven't been following the series for a lot longer than I thought?

Thinking back on the anime, Tanaka-Kun has really great characters, so much so that pretty much the entire ancillary cast are better characters than Tanaka, and what prevented his gimmick from getting stale.

I started with Fate Zero and then went on to watch Fate UBW, carnival phantasm.
I liked this route.

it's a standalone thing so yeah it should be fine. what i watched seemed pretty middling, though the action animation is good

No because it’s not good

Also the last time I started it I got annoyed because I was reminded that Rin would be a cooler protagonist.

VNs have saving and loading. you can put them down and pick them up whenever you have some time to kill. they're almost like, i dunno, novels or something.

I'm just saying there's a reason someone might not want to commit to reading the thing. I mean, it's like the equivalent of a million page book. That's enough to scare away most people.

My reason for not playing the VN is that I spend enough time using a controller / PC already. My health is super hosed up and I can't really afford to spend any more hours than I already do computing.

I got back into watching anime in no small part because it's something you can do lying flat on your back moving not at all.

I suppose I could watch a LP or something or play it with a buddy.

People are allowed to like VNs now. New regulations handed down from the UN, nothing I can do.
