Don't like it? well...

"A bunch of wizards summon the ghosts of legendary heroes to battle for a wish and we follow one of them."

Fate/Stay Night has a simple, easily explainable concept and all that other stuff doesn't need to be brought up because it's part of the story, not the concept.

I don't have the picture handy, but...


Seven Fourteen A bunch of (usually) wizards summon the ghosts copies of the spirits of historical sometimes mythical, sometimes historical heroes just about anyone to do battle for a wish from the all powerful decently limited holy grail.


What's even the point then?

Never quacked for this
The problem with emphasizing the HGW is that it sells false expectations, and makes people question what's up with the ginger weirdo.

It's about one guy struggling to realize his identity in the midst of a magical free-for-all with superghosts.

even ignoring that abridged poo poo is dumb, why does it ever enter into these sorts of discussions? they're derivative works that are often referential or take creative liberties so they have no value as an actual substitute for the thing.

they dropped that poo poo entirely after Frieza iirc. DBZA is more than a decade old at this point and the people who make it have grown and changed a lot

e: unless you're saying you don't have time for it unless they go back and redo the Saiyan and Namek sagas, which, given it took them like 6 years to make those the first time around I really don't think that's ever gonna happen

ehhhhh at this point it's more like half? saiyan is 10 eps, namek/frieza is 20, Cell is 30

e: Buu will probably be 40 if the pattern holds, in which case it'll be 70/30 good/bad, which is not a bad ratio

Fate is just Apex Legends with mythical/historical figures instead of Legends, and with mentally-twisted adults/idealistic teens instead of the players themselves.

Battle royales are still cool, right?

It'll be weird if ufotable ever stops doing Type-Moon stuff, honestly. I feel like I pretty much associate the studio with that nowadays.
