Local paper. You'd be surprised how lazy some entertainment writers are and how lucrative ghost-writing can be as long as you know your way around orthography and can sorta ape their style.

I sorta miss it because writing, even if it's outside your "area", can often teach you neat tricks.

It's a show about a guy who slaughters subhuman Others who are raping our women. I don't think it's unreasonable to wonder whether its popularity is a symptom of the same racist and fascist tendencies that get far-right politicians elected.

Saying Game of Thrones (good old GoT, insanely boring recent past GoT, or basically self-parody current GoT) is the same as Goblinslayer requires a really impressive refusal to engage with a work critically.

yeah I don't even like GoT and I'll still say that was a weird take

GoT is a fundamentally entertaining story badly marred by over-the-top edge, GS is basically nothing but over-the-top edge without the things that most GoT fans I know actually like about that show (ridiculous schemes piling on top of other schemes that in turn gently caress up OTHER schemes etc etc etc).

GoT's closest anime counterpart is probably Fate/zero, not GS (though it has F/z's problems way worse than that show does)

If we're talking strictly about the TV show, Fate Zero had the supreme luck to end after two seasons rather than being given several seasons worth of rope to hang itself with.

the high elf archer in goblin slayer is real good and also the lizard priest who worships dinosaurs and prays to Velociraptors and his ancient Iguanodon ancestors to cast spells

Fate/Zero sort of did have several more seasons, though, between Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/Apocrypha, and Fate/Extra Last Encore.

You have never watched/played/read a single fate/ work, have you?

I read the VN and watched the UBW and Zero animes, among other things. I know perfectly well that the Zero anime wasn't the start of the franchise. My point is that it wasn't the end of the franchise either.

The 2014 Unlimited Blade Works series, to at least have a familiarity with the names. Otherwise, you can enjoy the COMF with no problems whatsoever.

For real. It's like they took one hard look at all things F/SN and said: "How about we just make a healing show?". And that's it. The only show comfier than it is literally called Laid-Back Camp in English. And maybe the one about the cute catboy. :kimchi:

It draws the most from F/HA which is only a VN at the moment if you're curious. F/HA is the best, more people should read it. Lots of fun Fate stuff that's taken for granted now originated from, or solidified in F/HA in general.

So can I just jump into the Fate cooking show without any prior knowledge of the series except for the central concept? Never touched Fate before.
