Fate zero is good

Fate stay night (anim) is bland

I have not watched UBW (TV), but the movie was ok.

The VN is wordy as heck.



That is my analysis, of the fate franchise

Fate/zero anime is good if you like grim and frostbitten ultra serious poo poo (I do) but will probably grate on you like hell otherwise

F/sn original anime is awful, UBW anime is okay and worth a look but not like mindblowingly good or anything, UBW movie is also awful

VN is good but also longer than loving War and Peace so uh

e: it's actually almost two War and Peaces, W&P clocks in at 600k words and F/sn has one million :stonklol:

ancient humans domesticated the giant metal monsters and trained them as livestock, so they ate the metal too

the metal powered their brains and scientific knowledge until they realized they could make the giant metal animals even better at killing by putting cockpits and weaponry on them, and thats how the zoid wars started

all but a few main characters die, so do a lot of random unimportant characters. spoiler alert: the coolest characters in the show all die

it was cool, how mikasa got tons of development after eren died in the space of like five minutes, and she was immediately situated to become a strong lead, and then eren just popped out of the titan and she instantly regressed to scarfcuddle mcnobunaga

My avatar is the height of stylish minimalism. It does not distract from my excellent posting.
It does not rely on a viewer's framing or cultural competence to derive any meaning from it.
One cannot abuse it to comment on my or other people's posts through quotation shenanigans.
In not-being, it presents no weaknesses to the world and those that examine it.

The first episode of Fate/Zero is indeed terrible. It basically exists to shoehorn in as much worldbuilding and setup as possible so they don't have to deal with it later. I understand why they did it, but if you're already a fan of the Nasuverse you kinda don't need it and if you know nothing about Nasu at all then it's like why are all these people talking about stuff I don't care about, when will something happen?

A buddy of mine likes to introduce people to the show by way of the Kiritsugu flashback episodes, which I've become convinced is probably the best way to do it. You may still not like it, but at least it'll give you a more accurate taste of the show then two dudes walking around in a circle lecturing at each other.

I never liked Attack on Titan as much as when I thought Eren got shafted and Mikasa was the true protagonist.

I also liked the idea of one titan just going crazy and brutalizing the others and everyone trying to plan around it, so of course that dream got shot down too.

When I was told about Attack on Titan, they told me that it was a dark, mature show about the inevitability of death and fate like Berserk

And they were wrong
