I need to get around to watching Fate Stay/Night too. >_>

Honestly, yes, to keep up with the Fate series story.
But it's definitely nowhere close to as great as Fate Zero. I seem to appreciate it more than most other people on this forum, but I'm in it for Saber and Rin mostly anyways.
Nothing can mess those characters up.

Stop hating on Fate Stay Night damn it. Its not that bad. Except for the main character, who is a typical shitty MC. Everything else is fine.

I remember marathoning the whole thing in one sitting and being very into it, so I honestly cant think of why it is so hated on here. Like I seriously cant. Maybe I should rewatch it to see what you guys are talking about, but I only remember it being a very enjoyable show.

Well, not everyone likes the same things!

Fate/Zero Einzbern Consultation Room 03
Being Assassin is suffering...
Well, besides making fun of Assassin for everything he has ever done wrong, parodying the famous walking in a circle exposition scene and more love between the two, it was great exposition once again. I really did like the next episode preview following the same format of Fate/Zero's normal ones just in storyboard.

Onward to Season 2!

Mai Ritoru Poni: Yuujou wa Mahou 5

R4oFll.jpg


For a show with Yuujou wa Mahou in its name there was very little friendship is magic within this episode. I really didn’t like this episode. For everything that was upbeat and cheery that was the first 4 episodes this one was a total buzzkill and a total downer :(

Basically the moral of the story is that your friends will have other shitty friends and it is totally okay for that to be the case. Hooray, friendship is magic! Only thats not really friendship at all. For an episode that contained bullying I really expected there to be a better anti-bullying message. None of the ponies really took any kind of positive message out of this one. I guess there were some enjoyable moments to this episode, some of the Pinkie Pie shenanigans were actually funny but it was pretty hit and miss, and generally miss. This was just appallingly bad kind of like today’s Tottenham - Sunderland match.

Combining MLP and Sports talk into one post. You're trying summon Jason's power, aren't you?
 
Fate/Zero 14

DTL, I am sorry for your loss ;_;

Solid opener.

I had to pause the episode when that happened, not even able to make it through to even the second episode of this second half. Ryuunosuke was so cool and to be taken out by Maiya of all people! Ugh! At least he had tons of speaking moments and looked so excited and happy

14

Really compelling and stunning visual graphics with their style. Gilgamesh was cool, Ryuunosuke too. Action delivered on what first half was missing.
Character death was shocking, still cant get over it. Hopefully Maiya is next.
 
After constant interruptions, I finished Episode 1.

Fate/Zero 1
The plot has been set! Anyone who says that Kiritsugu and Saber aren't the best are obviously wrong.
Though Gilgamesh is always a treat

More of this and Penguindrum later, I hope.

Also, people didn't like Fate/stay night? I have yet to actually sit down and watch the anime, but I did enjoy the visual novel.

Well the VN is apparently much better. I have only seen the anime.
Its not well animated and the MC is a total loser, but Rin, Saber, Sakura, Illya are cute and I think that may have overpowered everything else in the show. I did enjoy the story and the Servant characters, especially when
little Illya calls on Berserker.
SO FUCKING ADORABLE.

I want to check out the first episode of Koikelupin, but I fear I'm not as familiar with either Koike or Lupin as I should be. I've never seen Redline, and while I watched the Lupin TV series that aired on Adult Swim years ago, I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never seen its most highly acclaimed installment, The Castle of Cagliostro.

Problems, yes, but problems that may be rectified! Cagliostro is streaming on Netflix and I bought Redline on DVD a few weeks ago. I plan to watch both by the end of the day.
 
Kiritsugu and Irisviel are awesome. Saber? Not so much.

Hopefully she's not that bad. She was pretty sweet in FSN, but I realize this is in the past and she has the potential to be different and pretty lame...

I've heard complaints about Shirou and yeah, he's a really bad looking character, but he's actually pretty cool in the VN. And it'd be really hard to mess up those girls.


Kiritsugu and Saber are not the best.
Then you're obviously wrong! :p

It's just at a first glance and previous knowledge, though. My opinion will probably change. A little bit into episode 2 and Rider's pretty cool.

I regret not having time to get caught up on F/Z like I planned this week!
Catch up now, like what I'm doing!

You don't need to watch either of those films before watching the new Lupin - and you especially shouldn't expect Cagliostro to be similar to it. That said, they should both be watched eventually.

You are right, and they totally didn't. The Fate Stay Night girls are intact and awesome.

Instant fuel. Just add water. Hellywood liftoff scene had a fabulous track playing for background music. Thought the Sara breakdown scene was handled well too as everyone including the viewer had been given a reprieve from her suffering then it all came rushing back.
