Seems more of a mythological figure to me, especially when then one in question is clearly based on the Arthurian legend. If, er, Arthur was a women so that you could sleep with her.
Hot.
I haven't seen Smile yet, so if Heartcatch is vastly better then it doesn't sound good for Smile.
I'm utterly biased to the original movie so I say go do it.
I couldn't play F/Extra due to the BS battle system. Is that explanation even canon?
Calling Nasu right now.

They are all mythological figures then, because there's little historical evidence for any of the supernatural abilities of these characters.
It's canon for F/Extra, which is an alternate universe and setting.

That's why it's spoiler tagged, I can't remember, I was just paying attention to the ED.

Maybe the problem here is your inability to let Heartcatch open your heart.
You guys are too cool and calm.
Am I the only one to have an irrational breakdown?
I'm sure I'd react similarly to a franchise I care about but I was glad to see that last episode. It embraced the parts I enjoyed about the previous eps and turned it up a notch.

Fate/Extra is an alternate universe and is not canon.
Ahahahaha.
Now we're getting somewhere...More like she'd impale me and occasionally twist it.
Man, on the tier of "nasty bodily fluids to come in contact with", saliva is pretty down there.
You swap spit everytime you kiss someone.
I warmed up to it as it got better, but vast stretches of the show are still pretty poor.
What does
Caster
Thankfully Fate/Zero is a classy show and doesn't resort to such base reasons for altering famous mythological heroes.

Finally someone who understands me!
The show would fare a lot better if it were two-cours long. Not to mention all the money they would save by shortening it.

We were talking about FSN.
There you go, an answer to all your questions.
I don't know much about Fate outside of Zero and a little Stay/Night, but I've seen art for some new Fate production (Fate/Apocalypse?), and if you have a problem with fictional characters in Zero, you'll never make it through this if it's ever adapted for television. For instance, I'm pretty sure that
It also seemed to have some badass off-the-wall usage of unlikely historical figures such as
, so I miiiiight have to expand my Nasuverse knowledge once I've seen all of Zero.
Frankenstein's monster is a Servant and this. And it's a loli.

It's okay, I feel asleep watching the first time. It's very restful.

Yeah its a pretty tame fetish as far as anime is concerned. My first thought when he got sick was that he got mono.

Fate/Apocrypha was some canceled MMO project, it's relation to FSN and F/Z is questionable.
I think it's very likely that Lancer, Caster, and Tokiomi are all going to be eliminated fairly soon. Now that we know Tokiomi's motivation he doesn't have much purpose left except to provide an opportunity for Kirei's heel turn. Lancer has to die soon because Saber needs to kill him to get her full powers back and kill Caster. So, we should be down to Saber, Rider, Gilgamesh, and Berserker fairly soon.

Its best not to question anything from franchises that started as eroge.
This was me:
What a boss.
Ah thanks. Really tried to play it but I couldn't tolerate the battle system. F/Extra spoilers:
Francis Drake was pretty hot though.
Well, in my review, I did say that if the last few episodes didn't happen (aka Saya remaining a vapid singing girl) I would be much more incensed. I just don't think that trolling the audience is the best way to show the franchise respect and comes off as a cheap gimmick to attract audiences.
I wish Fate/Apocrypha existed.
Loli Frankenstein and Caster Shakespeare would have been so good.
sometimes the truth hurtes
now you can start anticipating the movie like the rest of us!
i don't like the sound of this
Oops, I goofed on the name.
Too bad, it seemed pretty cool.
Things like Karna being a "good" version of Gilgamesh had potential, but so much for that
i don't like the sound of this
The lovers love it more than the haters hate it. Forge ahead!
Well the what defines a hero or villain really is the public's belief of said person. FSN
That's why Archer exists in that people believed he was a hero, even though he believed himself to be an anti-hero.

So you're saying that it's the best way to get a harem of fine historical women?

Archer exists because he made a deal with the world to become a counter-guardian. It had nothing to do with belief.
That sounds like a good final four.
The most fun, anyway.
Although
Caster
It certainly works for things like Koihime Musou where every character is a genderswapped Romance of the Three Kingdoms character.

Yeah, if I wasn't told that that was Nanami, I don;'t know if I'd recognize her. Sure, the hair style and color, and the uniform, are the same, but she looks like a completely different person...
Allison (the first half) is definitely worth watching, but yeah, I didn't like Lillia much at all and didn't finish that half either. Lillia's nowhere NEAR the character Allison is, it's quite disappointing in comparison... and the second half's story isn't as good either.
Who knows though, you could like the Lillia part too.
This post doesn't make much sense, because, S2 (Shin Koihime Musou) aside, Koihime Musou is great fun! S1 and S3 were both pretty good.
Yeah... you were warned about how terrible it was, but continued watching anyway? Why? Masochism?
The manga has a good arc? Since when?
A-Channel's subpar, boring, and rarely funny. Probably don't bother.
While that certainly is a positive point in its favor, the creepy teacher-student relationship element that dominates the first episode (though not the series at a whole, in the manga at least) does make it borderline lock-friendly... but it seems to be surviving so far.
... Why does something like that get a 6 page thread so quickly, though, while if someone made a thread for Sak Achiga-hen, I have trouble imagining it getting far at all before dying...
That's a pretty good lineup indeed, sure. Hack/sign, Azumanga, Twelve Kingdoms, and Abenobashi are great. Of course it's not free of bad series either, naturally... I mean, Ai Yori Aoshi was pretty poor. I've also seen Gatekeepers 21 and Jing: King of Bandits; both are thoroughly average.
Ben-to had ten decent to good episodes before it got bad, though... that's more than some shows get, anyway!
The issue is not so much the fact that it happens as is the separation from the normally desirable act and fetishization of the exchange on its own terms. It's pretty gross.
I...uh.......what?
I'm not going to lie. I bought Koihime Muso.

The representation in FSN is a merger of things and exists at his current form because of the distortions in recorded history. The Sasaki Kojiro Saber fights doesn't exist.

But you seem, that's too limiting!
That's true, and yet... the thought of liking someone's drool/saliva off their finger is one of the few things I truly find off-putting.

Also Fate/Extra's stuff only applies to Fate/Extra even if it shares some of the traits from the mainline series.
Reminds me of the time I marathoned Sengoku Basara and Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls.
Sanada Yukimura turned from Hot-blooded young shounen -> short flat chested Kugiloli
sad thing is I liked both
So apparently on the FSN wiki, Archer isn't even a heroic spirit at all and is instead a Counter Guardian. This however counts as a heroic spirit in regards to the total count? This doesn't make sense.
I'd buy it just because I'm a RotTK nerd, but I can't bear to see the extreme masculinity of characters like Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun besmirched
Doesn't keep Koei from finding new characters to throw in each new installment of Dynasty Warriors!
I didn't mean to imply that Extra is canon, just that among all of the Fate properties that I've seen it has the clearest explanation of how Heroic Spirits work!
Basileus777

I suppose you could say they are a sub-category of Heroic Spirits that are turned into mindless killers to prevent crises that threaten humankind. Hence Archer's existential crisis in UBW. I'm not sure what you mean by total count.

See what I mean?
The total count of Servants. So apparently Archer could be considered a Servant but not a Heroic Spirit. The wiki made it clear that he's not a Heroic Spirit and as such he doesn't get the buffs the other servants do. This then is weird as it seems the Grail didn't draw the correct number of Servants.

It got revived pretty recently as light novel chapters appearing in a magazine or something like that.
The first chapter features loli Jack the Ripper.
