damn what happened here

personally i dont think id ever get into the fate series because of its super high barrier to entry

i know theres like a billion canon spin offs and seasons and shit

but ive heard overall it’s good i suppose

You can pretty much watch any Fate series on its own and be relatively fine TBH.
The "Main Timeline" is Zero and then anything with "Fate/Stay Night" in the name. The rest are spin offs, most of which are shit anyway as far as the anime adaptations go.

Really Just watch Zero,
And then if you want to be a waifufag and or ruin your life move on to whatever version of Stay Night suits you, the Light Novel is best but you probably don't want to read the equivalent amount of text of the Lord of The Rings saga and the Bible back to back twice with hilariously bad sex scenes in the middle.

alphy · June 20, 2021, 07:35:27 PM

it's not that they want me to speed thru because it's long, they assume id be super into the show by now and able to watch it continuously

i mean shippuden has been sorta enjoyable ngl, but i think it's just the fact thats it's 500 episodes that makes it extremely daunting? im not sure how to describe it

and yeah, ive wanted to drop it lol, especially in the original naruto

im making sure to take frequent breaks/watch other stuff

I've been really enjoying the Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga. I heard it was basically the best version of the story and after reading up to volume 10 I'm inclined to agree.

Still need to read it myself but I've heard Char in Origin is a lot less Quattro Bajeena and a lot more CCA/Full Frontal than he was in the original 0079.

Hol up is that a giant worm rape pit

Coomer · June 23, 2021, 05:48:20 PM

Alright so episode one

Spoiler

Lots of exposition I think I get most of it but why did the mage master send away his daughter to another family to be trained as a potential rival? The one that got tossed in the worm pit. I like the white hair dude the best. He seems like a nice guy and it's a shame he got roped into the whole thing to save his niece. I hope he gets to take her out for ice cream. I secretly like the old man tho. Fucking disgusting as hell he tossed a kid into a worm rape pit but I like devious characters like that. He's a time bomb in the plot I can feel it. Our main character says he wants to do good in the world but he's mad sus. His wife is cute but she doesn't do anything except simp for the guy. The trap is also pretty good. I love a good hard work beats royal blood story. I kinda like the church guy right now but I saw of a video of him on Youtube so uh yeah I'll see if he can get me on his side.

So seven ancient heroes once dead get summoned, their only purpose to battle again and again until their master is broken or they lay claim to the holy grail. What a terrible

I super enjoyed it. First thoughts were it's another cringe/wack anime, but turns out it's making fun of a lot of tropes (or at least making them actually funny). The characters were really solid and I loved how the story developed. It's short and sweet by Anime standards but I lowkey wanted more.

Eh, not really. He does bad shit (mostly in the flashback section) but it makes sense as to why he does it.

Spoiler

In the original 0079 he led a gullible, insecure sap to believe that he was his best friend, then betrayed him and laughed. Origin Char isn't really that different. He's always been a loveably dastardly dude.

Spoiler

also Venom Char from unicorn isn't that close to punished char from CCA tbh, aside from being cynical but in char's case that is because of the events of zeta pushing him over the limit and leading him to believe that humanity will only change if he forces them to. The whole point of Venom Char's character was that, while at some level Char really did believe in humanity's ability to change, and really was passionate about the cause (or at least, had deluded himself into believing that he was), venom char consciously didn't really give a shit about any of it, which is why his grand plan is just to form a fucking economic union).

Coomer · June 25, 2021, 01:03:02 PM

Episodes 2-5

Spoiler

I feel like nothing has happened so far. Still so much exposition. The only thing of note is the first meeting of the servants. Pretty cool that the servants are their own heroes with their own motivations and not necessarily tied to their master's will. Which begs the wuestion why are they "servants" in the first place. What ties them to their master? I think they were participants in the holy grail wars before that made a pact with some magical power to come back to life in order to continue searching for the grail. I really like Saber's design. She has a very refined look and her armor is pretty cool. But she gets her ass handed to her like three times during the first battle lmao. Every other servant has cool powers and ultimates but she just has an invisible sword. Also what's up with her being King Aurthur that's kinda weird. Rider is a man's man and his dynamic with the trap is pretty funny. The trap doesn't really have any stake in the holy grail war so I don't know what his role in it will be going forward. Our main protagonist still hasn't done anything except cheat on his wife. The gold guy has a cool power but he exudes gay vibes. My favorite servant is black genji. Mainly because he doesn't say anything (everyone talks so damn much). He has a badass design and his sole purpose seems to be to wreck shit up which I like. Caster's intro and master was awesomely disturbing. That serial killer isn't going to win the grail but the pair is def the wild card in the mix. I feel like they will turn the tide in this war. Also Caster is def going to betray the serial killer. Final note, Ilya is really cute but that just makes you look really creepy CMD

She doesn't become a waifu till she's grown in F/SN. But I also love how you all actively ignore Das and Mar who like the 10 year old version of her from prillya.

Other than that yeah the show is gonna be relatively on the slower side in terms of real plot development till the second half but it's worth it.

Alright episodes 5-11

Some notes on the series as a whole since it's had time to establish itself

Spoiler

So far, I'm not engrossed. My biggest complaint is that nothing happens. There was only two events of note in the whole series so far, the first meeting of servants and the attack on the manor. Even the consequences from those events are minimal at best. We have a big cast of interesting masters and servants but after spending almost an entire season with them, I still feel like I know very little about them. Our main guy still hasn't done anything except shoot the vampire dude. He says he wants to save the world but we still don't know what he wants to do with the grail, been shown nothing about his background, and he's formed exactly zero development with any other masters or servants. He hasn't even interacted with Kerei which the show has been teasing for 11 episodes. I thought he would be interacting a lot with Saber but they barely talk. Iris and Saber are an unlikely pairing but I like it. Iris has grown on me a lot but she seems suckered by her husband. My favorite master and servant, worm boi and black genji showed up once and then dipped for the rest of the season. Saber is still fucking useless. Caster shows up with the obligatory tentacle monsters and she needs to be saved yet again by Lancer. Speaking of Lancer, he is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. He's strong, has principles, and has a tragic backstory too. Even after he is no longer bound to his master, he chooses to serve him due to his code of honor. I respect that. The vampire dude's wife is a cold bitch and I like her. It seems kinda weird for her character to be a simp for Lancer though given how ruthless she is. Still Lancer is an absolute chad. Cursed to have women fall for him only for him to lose them and end up forever alone. I have the same fate, only women don't fall in love with me first. Interested to learn more on him and the vampire's wife. But I doubt we'll get more given how slow this series is. I mean we get a Rin episode no one asked for and then in the next episode, they're sitting around talking. Brilliant. Rider is losing his cool with me. He was fun at first but now he's kinda obnoxious. Also he thinks he's better than Saber for some reason. I didn't really understand the exchange. Rider says a king must be a tyrant and give their people a cause by being selfish and haviong them fight for him. Saber fights so that her people can be free to do whatever they want. But then Rider says that is selfish which seems hypocritical. I don't man I'm kinda with Saber on this one. But it's probably a bad sign when Gilgamesh gets turned on by your moral struggles. Also someone tell her that Britain is still a super power in the modern world. Some final notes, why does anyone listen to the church. They seemingly facilitate the grail war but they have their own master and the grail seems like a free agent so I'm wondering what authority they really have. Speaking of the grail, it doesn't seem like it's necessarily a good thing. It deemed a serial killer worthy of claiming it so I'm kinda sus on its motive. No one is actually going to claim it dude. It's going to be some cop out or they'll end up destroying it or something. What would be an interesting end is if worm boi claims it, gives it to the old man, the family gets a happy ending, and the rest of the world has to deal with the consequences of the old man's desires. Hell, even have the serial killer win and see what that does to the world. Good setup for a new series if I say so myself. But anyway, heading into the season finale. Let's hope this shit picks up
