I've been slacking long enough. Time to jump back into Fate Zero.

I was wondering where you were at lol.

So I know Itachi's going to be pissed, but I dropped Food Wars. I even gave it 6 episodes instead of the normal 3 just because of how much he had been hyping it up and begging me to watch it. Sorry, but I just wasn't enjoying it nearly as much as I was hoping. I didn't feel the hype at all. Anyways, time to pick out something new to watch...

Fate Zero episode 17.

Ok. This show spends way to much time on Kirei. Dude is almost as boring as Team Saber. Needs more focus on Team Alexander and Berserker's Master. I forgot his name. I like them.

Anyone heard of this anime (or the video game it's apparently based off of) called Sands Of Destruction? It looks and sounds pretty interesting. And considering that Sega themselves helped produce the anime as well as make the game, it's probably a good adaptation of the game it's inspired by.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/4415/World_Destruction__Sekai_Bokumetsu_no_Rokunin

Other options I had in mind for what to start next include Little Witch Academia, Aria: The Scarlet Ammo, Angel Beats, or just jumping right into the final season of Shakugan No Shana. I also know that the dub of Haven't You Heard I'm Sakamoto is coming out later this month, so that will definitely be on my list later on.

It's not necessarily that I didn't like it. The show just... didn't hook me at all. The parts that were supposed to be awesome didn't impress me. The main character was just "meh", and the rest of the characters I saw weren't all that interesting either. Besides the foodgasms, the show just felt bland, uninteresting, and mediocre.

Kariya. Right, gotta remember that.

I get that he's supposed to be important, but I just don't care about him. He seems really generic, and just boring. I feel the same way about The entire Saber Team. Kiritsugu, Saber, The Girl Posing as Saber's Master, and that other Girl. None of them stand out or feel important.

Like Alexander and Waver, they stand out. They aren't boring. They're great. Same thing with Kariya, dude has barely been relevant but I still think he's a great character who really stands out from the rest. Even the Serial Killer and Caster were stand outs and were awesome.

Yeah, that caught me off guard too. I expected cute girls firing cute airsoft guns. I didn't expect cute mental breakdowns and cute post-traumatic stress disorder to go with it. Still, it was a great show and I'm glad you enjoyed it too.

I think they're an interesting duo, it's cool how they have a totally different mindset on things and yet they still somehow work together? If you can really call it that?

A lot of the things I think are pretty cool in fate/zero though are only made complete through their connection to f/sn, though. Kiritsugu is interesting because of the ideals and worldview he passes on down to his son, not so much because he's a super interesting character himself. Kotomine gets his philosophy expanded a lot in f/sn as well, especially the final route where he's basically as much the star of the route as the main character is

Kind of figured a lot of stuff would be better if I was familiar with the original.

So question now. I'm aware the Stay Night Anime was apparently a very bad adaptation. Is it worth giving a shot? What about Unlimited Blade Works?

The two season anime series by Ufotable. The other is a movie of the route which can be ignored.

And I'm gonna say up front, cause I don't want to deceive you. I despise the main character of Fate. He's such an unbelievable idiot. He gets pretty good later, but he is an idiot. Fortunately, he's at his worst in the original Fate route, he is not nearly as bad in UBW or HF.

Him being a bad character is part of the point since he really grows a lot over the course of the story, especially if you consider the 3 routes of the game as a single package like you should. But if you're just watching the anime you can't really do that since only the middle route has a good adaptation (the first f/sn adaptation adapting the first route was pretty garbage). The third route is getting some movies though, first one actually came out recently in japan, hopefully those are good since imo it's the best route of the game

I don't think you really need to worry about researching backstory or anything, especially since the anime was at least partially intended to follow from fate/zero for all the people who don't read VNs. In the original VN the 3 routes branch extremely early, so even though it's the second route it's not really a sequel to the first route, more an alternate set of events / story in the same setting

I've never watched the UBW adaption, but if it's like the game, not every identity is revealed in any one route. And some that are revealed in multiple routes get revealed at vastly different points in time. Like the original Fate route has one identity not revealed until very very far in the story, after wondering for long who they are. In UBW, it's revealed far far far sooner.

Also consider Fate Sabers route.
UBW Rins route
And Heavens Feel Sakura's route
