wtf does any of this mean/how was i supposed to know that? (nasuverse does it again)


That's why everyone told you to read the VN instead of watching the anime.

They could just go the Granblue route and just add an English translation to the existing JP release rather than do a proper overseas one.

Granblue has a ton of text and that worked out fine.

Apparently Abby has a special SFX when you pull her but my phone was muted so I didn't hear it. RIP.

It's a bit hyperbolic but as a work of fiction the Fate VN is probably on par with a book like The Name of the Wind as far as wish-fulfillment mage character, overwrought and overlong prose, and misogynistic portrayals of female characters.

It's a perfectly valid opinion.

Fate is better than NotW because it's actually finished though.

:pwn:

Fate sucked cuz Saber isn't good as a main heroine. She's boring as hell when put in the spotlight. Much better when she's more off to the side and is able to do whatever.

Nah, in the review she's saying the VN had those flaws which UBW adaption mostly got rid of. Don't know if I completely agree. The UBW adaption is certainly less boring than the VN though.

congrats on agreeing with that garbage article and showing how little you actually understand at all about the series.

Very possible, the production values might have just clouded my views in that case. It's much easier to see the character flaws when they're in print in the VN.

you're very good at observing media.

I mean it's perfectly acceptable to say you're turned off by something being misogynistic even if it isn't misogynistic 100% of the time. Just like it's perfectly acceptable to say you're turned off by the racism in how Conan stories characterize certain ethnicities even if those characterizations generally go away the later you get in Conan. It's not a personal attack on you for liking them nor is it meant to devalue those later parts.

Is it really fair to call part of a work misogynistic if a character espouses an opinion not meant to be correct, and is shown to be wrong throughout the rest of the work? I feel the Conan comparison isn't very apt here.

I feel like you don't really understand what Fate Jack is if you think it's some sympathetic angle to the actual killer.

Then why call her Jack the Ripper? Why did the author?

Do you actually interact with Fate stuff past skimming a wiki or something dude.

The design sucks rear end and no one thinks it's good. but it's pretty pathetic how you transparently pivoted to this after you showed you didn't know what you were talking about at all regarding the other stuff.

The teacher in Higurashi is literally just Ciel because of how much he enjoyed Tsukuhime so I'd say probably.
