I put Apocrypha and UBW about even as far as adaptation quality. Apocrypha was weighed down by crappy source material but the animation team did a lot to elevate it, whereas UBW's excellent first season was followed up by a heavily flawed second season.
Yeah I'd generally agree with this much, even if I'd say I enjoyed f/apo more

I absolutely hated f/apo. It takes a lot to be a more milquetoast protag than Shirou, but Sieg did it despite having a far more interesting origin. Didnt do enough with his not really being human thing.

You'd think just once, having a unique set of circumstances for one's origins would lead to a unique set of personality traits and perspectives in an anime protag.

TheOne problem with Apocrypha is you didn't need a loving super-special snowflake for a protagonist in that story. That Sieg was utter crap on top of being a super-special snowflake was just icing on the poo poo sundae that was Apocrypha.

It's impressive that the non-VN protagonist manages to be more of a cardboard cutout. Sieg is borderline self-insert fodder, complete with a ludicrous dose of deus ex machina.

i can think of plenty of anime where it does!

that said its insane to me that the apocrypha writer once said in an interview that 'the entire story started with sieg' because hes so tangential to everything going on. his actual antagonist, avicebron, is barely in the story, and jeanne has way more of a connection with amakusa since they're both christian martyrs

Honestly, so long as you're staying out of the actual "it's there for porn and nothing else" section of VNs, a lot of them actually do have fairly well-developed protagonists. Consequences of stories that take tens of hours to complete. Shirou's a particularly good example, but he's hardly the only one.

Sieg blows, but by and large I liked the whole Apo servant cast. The Masters were more hit and miss but the brother and sister, Shishigou, and tsundere mustache man and his sassy homunculus assistant were all pretty fun in their own ways.

Also, goddamn these new CEs :swoon:

If DW ever figure out how to speed up their servant skin production process they're gonna bankrupt a lot of nerds.
