Hah, just had to come check your profile after recognizing that profile picture :D
G-senjou no Maou was an awesome read VN !

hey bro read your review of Eve No Jikan and I really liked it thx got me intrested in the movie and I just thought I'd recommend the seires Chobits

are you a Radiohead fan?

nice fate zero review man

I really like your reviews. Very professional.

So its preferable that I watch F/S first? Would it make a difference if i didn't? Besides not learning the mechanics of the world which i can pick up through other means.

wa...you call it VN is that venture novel..?
we call it GALGAME or AVG..

maybe G is awsome,but I didn't get same exciting as 11eyes,which is a VN produced by 5pb..

I like the line of Miwa Tsubaki(椿姬) the best...it let me weep

Sigh, I suspected that you had rather blatantly plagiarized my review for Bakemonogatari and had written a scathing exposition on that, but I relented and deleted the comment. If your usage of my ideas and words were a mere coincidence, then please understand that I am actually a freelance movie/book reviewer for papers, where such an infringement would be a rather serious personal and legal issue, thus I am very anal when it comes to that. If you did indeed knowingly use my ideas and words as if they were your own, then, well, only you'd know. If latter is the case, though, I'd advise being more covert, and not doing strikingly obvious things like characterizing Araragi Koyomi as a bit of a "sociopath," which probably not very many people word it that way, so it's very suspicious.

@roriconfan Age is judged differently in Japan, 30 is regarded as being old, and bishonen's in their 20's? Servants are summoned in the appearance at their time of death, so its age appropriate, whereas regarding the Masters, I doubt you consider Kiritsugu and Kotomine as bishounen, nothing pretty about them, nor feminine features. I don't even consider that anyone looks at Waver that way, and Kayneth being too stuck up and made to look like a villian instead of a fan service target makes me think the only one character that could be considered as a bishounen in the series that was created would be Kariya, with all those worms crawling on his face, and Ryuunosuke, but he's merely a bystander to the main plot, not even knowing of the Grail War, I doubt anyone would be hyped for a series solely because of one side character, especially a mass murderer, and considering Tokiomi is beyond the definition of "shounen".
So I don't even think that your judgment of "most" is valid.

"Most are bishonens in their 20's and there are token lolis, so don't hide the whole truth XD."

The token lolis in question are Rin and Sakura, the original visual novel is set 10 years in the future, meaning their age is a matter of congruency with the sequel and despite most complaints about the Rin filler, I would question anyone watching such a plot driven anime with them in mind, let alone regard a girl being violated in a room full of worms, considering it to be a "token" of the plot, as if their presence is to fulfill some stereotypical role.

Considering there are three kings, one being claimed the King of Knights and two other knights among the servants, I find their "macho talking" to be appropriate as its a nuance that just in the Middle Ages, men sought to put reason to fighting by seeking a way to settle the issue of having to kill being seen as barbaric, by glorifying it and refining the act of combat by adding pompous speeches.

"It is not a great adaptation either because I was told by several fans of the novel that they are rushing through many secondary information that makes certain actions to feel stupid without them."

Agreed, I would also be on the side that the anime omits background details of character's actions, however, I can't think of a possible way to retify this issue given the time constaints of an anime. Most background details, if you have read the novels, detail a character's thought process during a fight. While animated, this can only be relayed to the audience by means of the character pausing to look at something, showing the character's facial expression, and a detailed look at the threat in terms of combat, which you can evidently see in Saber's fight with Berserker, in which she focuses her attention on the corrupted street pole while parrying the attack.

There will be many subtle details that are really too hard to relay in animation, so I recommend you make your own judgment by reading the novels. But I seriously think that opinions that this adapation doesn't live up to the original work are unfounded, and would stake this claim on the second half of Fate Zero's animation.

TLDR; Freaking hell, critics of masterpieces are everywhere, especially those who write off those entralled by them as being biased favorably towards the piece. Thanks for the great review of Fate Zero, Reckoner.

btw! i stumbled across this really awesome amv of bakemonogatari! i know alot of fans will probably enjoy it, considering it compiles the best and most epic of the entire cast. I'm still on the fence about bakemono but I still put this on repeat (really great quality).

ps. sorry if you've already seen this or you dont like katy perry. or this video period lol.
