Kiritsugu has such a brokenly powerful weapon.

I wonder if they're going to explain at some point why
Saber is a Goddess, foolish mortal.

Yes. When Saber and Lancer were fighting Caster's demons, Lancer got rid of them by using his anti-magic spear against the book.
c'mon, dude, ahegaos can be totally cute. That's the whole point of Cure Peace!

oh... just noticed that kobato gets a new cute outfit each eps kinda like CC sakura.
omnomnomnom.
Yes its kind of nice to see another show that pays attention to changing wardrobes. Sad that it took another Clamp show to achieve this. a very CUTE Clamp show.
Oh god. My weakness. Genki girls. You just sold me on Heartcatch Precure, you monster.
Mondays used to be my Another Day.
It will now become Loli Cthulu day.
My train ride home just got that much more agonizing.
I was the same way, but man, I just could not stop laughing at the end. Basically like your gif. TheBlood-C Ep. 12

I didn't get into the loli cthulhu show that much the first time around. Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the mythos to get the jokes. It seemed cute but boring.

So 2012 is going to have two movies featuring pirate girls. Not sure how I feel about that.
The whole series is hilarious.

It's not really any more nonsensical than
Rider having a flying chariot and being able to summon his dead army, or Archer having an airship that shoots rockets.
Who is completely fictional in F/Z? It's a fantasy universe, I'm not sure why it'd hard to suspend your disbelief that some mythological figures are real.
What movies are these?

Maybe if you wanna blow bubbles with your farts.
Whos fictional? They're either actual historical people or based off some myth/legend.

Yurumates 3D - 3 minute series based on a 4koma manga. I've read a few chapters of the manga, and this is very similar, except, well, animated. It's generic but amusing stuff, a decent 3 minute entertainment. In this episode, our heroine arrives at her new home. Poor her...
KyoAni Kanon's too moe. I know KyoAni's art is better from an artistic standpoint, but it doesn't fit the series quite as well...

That barely even looks like her!
I mean, she's supposed to look more like this.

Also, as I said, the bath scene and nurse's office scene were both new, and the classroom scene, a version of the manga's sports field scene I guess, is expanded versus the manga.
Of course the manga is creepy too at this point in the series -- stuff like the guy imagining field-stripping the gun-girls, or the beginning shooting gallery festival booth scene, are pretty much the same in the manga -- but the anime's definitely worse and has more of it. I hope that changes in the future.
That basically is what FSN is, yes.
If only they'd do that... FSN remake, with that plot concept? Sounds good.
He has shown you the light!The picture is pretty cute in a slanted sort of way. Maybe I'm just desensitised after seeing so many pictures of Toei Kanon.
Don't bother, wonzo is committed to watching eyecancer because he can.
edit: Now looking at the Toei Kanon pic above and Kyoani Kanon pic below, I don't believe it but the Toei one is now slightly cuter.
wonzo, what have you done?

It should have done great, it's always sad to see something so good do badly. Quite unfortunate.Enough to bankrupt the company
Allison was a pretty good show, but I'd rather not talk about Lillia... too bad it didn't do better, unless everyone just bought Allison and then stopped buying at the worse second half (sadly I doubt it though).
Um, the whole point is to show that she likes him now, not at some later point. Even if that is drawn from somewhere else in the series, it doesn't excuse its inclusion here at all.

It's true ot the theme, sure, but it adds a LOT more of it and I do think that difference matters. I mean, the otaku are more likely to like it with more creepy otaku bait content at the start, right? That must be the thinking...
Yeah, I'm hoping that the next episode is better ofr sure. The manga is often an amusing series, when it's focused on the girls and the fighting and not the creepy elements, and the manga is more about the better side of it than the worse side, thankfully. Hopefully the anime is similar, after this.
I do need to watch this series sometime. I've been holding off because of how dark and depressing I know it gets, and I often dislike that kind of thing... but I should sometime, yeah.Fate/Zero 10
What a fantastic change of pace from the other episodes. I'm really glad Rin's awesome both as a kid and when she grows up, plus seeing Tokiomi in a different light was really nice. It was somewhat touching, too... good shit.Considering the preview at the end, I'm guessing 11 is a battle between the Kings?
Eh, Saber's a good character too, but yeah, Rin is even better.
That basically is what FSN is, yes.
Just kill off Shirou and replace him with someone that isn't a dumbass like his original female form.
Bring them back:
Sakura can just be lesbian for her.
If only they'd do that... FSN remake, with that plot concept? Sounds good.

Eh... I can sort of see what this was going for, but it didn't work. It spent too much time with gimmicks - the double run of the invisible ghost gag, the disorienting direction of the elevator scene - and not enough time establishing the characters. When you're trying to sell a relationship, you focus on its start, its development, its chemistry - you don't give people fractured perspectives and throw the premise in at the very end. There's no hook for me to latch onto. It doesn't do a great job of establishing atmosphere either - the transition between serious and comedic moments is awkward and I rolled my eyes at the random blood dripping. The art is OK at times, such as the city scene or the classroom, but the mountain scenes look off:
Welp, this is Silver Link. It's not as bad as C3, but I still get the feeling the director is trying to be clever without actually knowing what he's doing.
As far as romantic shows this season go, this is inferior to Mysterious Girlfriend X and Sankarea.

The existence of King Arthur as a real person is debated among historians. Seems people got confused by what Jex meant as fictional. He meant they actually existed not that they're orignal character do not steal.
no, you ahoge non believer
ahegao only works sometimes, ahoge is always cute
why do they sound so similar
why do they sound so similar
I agree.
Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure Caster used some spells without the spellbook during the first time we are introduced to him
where he let go of the boy and then killed him soon after
manifestations and symbols of the power the hero once had in real life, aren't they? Then wouldn't the book be just a symbol and concentrated source of Caster's power, not the book being of its own will, summoning Cthulus as it pleases?

Well, once you get resurrected by an omnipotent wish granting device for the purposes of having a battle, I assume you're going to get some powers. I mean, this show has people who know magic!
Saber is
Arthur
Lancelot.
That would, er, qualify them as fictional!

Well I was answering in regards to F/Z, but a different approach on fictional anyway.

It's a fantasy world where these people were real historical figures, I'm not sure why it's so hard to suspend your disbelief on that detail, but not on all the magic and supernatural stuff.
Jex
Member
I was just curious whether the world of Fate/Zero was full of fictional people and historical people.
Those aren't historical figures!
It's based on the principle of belief. It's not so much whether they existed but rather if people believed they did.
Still want Merlin as a Caster. So broken.

You were kinda slow on picking it up so I had to take out the big guns.
He is right though.
I think you read ahegao as ahoge again.
Somehow I thought that Heroic Spirits weren't actually the spirits of dead heroes that had been revived but were just magic given form and sentience for the duration of the Holy Grail War and that the manifested heroes were just representations of their legends as they'd been passed down through time. That's not really consistent with anything that we've seen in the show (like, if "legends" are really what matter then why is Saber female if
Arthur
The game Fate/Extra for PSP has a really freakish explanation for all of this:
Heroic Spirits are manifested by a magical computer on the Moon that has recorded all of human history from the dawn of civilization to the present and can manifest historical figures and literary figures with equal accuracy.
Not always true. FSN spoilers
Assassin in FSN was completely fictional and never actually existed
Wait, when did they say that
Berserker is Lancelot?
Plenty of mythological characters are based on real people. Obviously in this universe they are real.
Isn't Assassin in F/SN
also a ficitional character? Sasaki Kojirou or whatever from Japanese literature

That was an exception, an example of the grail malfunctioning and Caster breaking the rules. And even he wasn't a fictional character, but some nameless phantom/samurai.
Ahegao and Cure Peace.

Yeah I was talking earlier about how that specific picture right there is a hell of a lot cuter than the 2006 version.
As for allison and Lillia, I ended up buying that series based on the artwork and curiousity. I watched about half of the first set and kind of put it on hold, but I enjoyed that. I'll revisit it once I get caught up on some other things.
