Apparently this month was a double release so...the next Shuumatsu no Valkyrie chapter (41) is now! I shuddered a bit at that last clash. Watching an arm just slowly split was nasty. Kind of funny that Shiva's ultimate moves were all kicks given the focus on his 4 arms but go figure for a dancer. Hypocrisy fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Dec 30, 2020 |

Everything i know is jist through osmosis) As for shuumatsu I didnt like the fight very much. Its a good slugfest but I was expecting something more crazy from shiva, and I dont like how his characterization got changed up a bit from the beginning. Hell i shouldve known since even Baki couldnt make Sumo interesting in a crazy fightman way. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Dec 30, 2020 |

Rigged Death Trap posted:Theyre all sabers My exposure to it has only been the old forum LPs of Tsukihime and 2/3rds of the forum LP of Fate/Stay Night, and the OVAs of Garden of Sinners. I didn't really have the stomach or the interest to get any further into it, especially as the rest of the franchise seems to have gone on into a billion recursive versions of F/SN. IMO the Fate* stuff has always been an odd mix of weirdly good and creative horror/fantasy, and horrible fetish garbage. Bizarrely, in some cases the horribleness of the fetish stuff actually contributes to giving the horror more of an edge. It makes it annoyingly hard to recommend to anyone, because even though the strong bits are very strong, every entry in it comes with a bunch of content disclaimers. Tsukihime is a really interesting first-person horror story about a person slowly going completely insane under the pressure of morbid psychic powers, gaslighting, and being hunted by a delusional vampire, but it's also got the sexual politics and explicit content of a 90's indie Japanese dating game. And so on and so on. The Garden of Sinners OVAs are the most innocuous entry, and even then those come with, "but one minor character is a sister with a completely unrequited crush on her brother, played for comedy".

My only real exposure to the franchise was that I watched and liked the Fate/Zero anime; in that one the sexually creepy stuff seemed to be toned down to a minimum (though not entirely absent, unfortunately).

Fate/Zero being brought up as "oh no, that's the one that got it mostly right" is always funny to me when it's the most misogynistic Fate story by a healthy margin.

What series was it that had the Mega Man X crossover where Zero confronts Iris’s robot ghost after her death and gets closure for it?

Welp, I definitely remembered that one more fondly than it deserved (and probably watched it too uncritically in the first place). Too bad, but good to know.

Sorry if that came off like dogpiling. Fate fans have just had to endure a lot of "Fate is bad except for Zero gee whiz what a good show" over the years.

Jagged Jim posted:*Finger of the Monkey's Paw curls* It's been stated that there's a different Jack for every Class, based on different interpretation of the legend. One of the spinoff has Berserker Jack. Assassin Jack is the one you posted and I hate her dersign so much.

her design always ends up as a big point of contention despite her presence in Apocrypha being comparatively minor and that series having way bigger issues with just, being unable to manage a cast twice the size of your average Fate thing.

"Canon" in the traditional sense is kinda meaningless to the Nasuverse. Every property is essentially its own timeline that may or may not share some kind of connection plotwise to previous works. The closest you get to a cohesive timeline across Fate properties is Zero -> Case Files -> FSN -> Case Files again. The sequel to FSN proper is Hollow Ataraxia, but it doesn't follow from any of the actual endings of the first visual novel. Instead there was a little space-time accident that merged things into an entirely new timeline where all but one character survived the events of FSN. Apocrypha is its own timeline where the main villain stole the holy grail from Japan by using and betraying the Nazis to set up his own holy grail war in Romania.

I really didn't know which one of them was gonna win, and while I did get more attached to Shiva, the gods are the antagonists of the tournament, so this isn't very good in the long run.

The canon sequel to Fate and all the other Nasuverse series is Carnival Phantasm and I won't hear otherwise.

Is there any evidence that Q Hayashida was ever actually an assistant to Tsutomu Nihei? I’ve seen that rumor repeated on Twitter and other social media but I can’t find any evidence except for occasionally similarities in their art style.
