I do not believe someone should just skip out on something because the original version is better. I do not play VNs, but I want to enjoy the Fate series, so why not?


Its not about what is better or worse.

DEEN's FSN anime to FSN VN is what Twilight is to Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Because if you watch it and start bitching about the story being badly written and not making sense it wont be the original's fault nor Fai's if you even after all that go ahead and watch the anime while expecting something like FZ.

...and what if I said that I like this anime and I haven't watched Fate/Zero (yet)??

Then you just liked an average anime that is based on a story,not an adaptation.Nothing wrong with that.

The whole thread is for those that want to actually understand the chars and the lore without having to guess what is going on or just accept it.

So much hate, about to watch the Fate/Zero's etc. and maybe I'll change my mind after, but I liked the FSN series a lot. Christ, it got a 9 from me.


Anime adaptations are rarely bang on, but they have created something enjoyable even if it isn't entirely accurate. Maybe the fact it is called FSN annoys you more than anything? I could understand if I played the LN etc. and then watched it and if it did it an injustice being annoyed, but the fact is the majority of people watching this won't have played squat or done any background into it and willl have just happened upon it (an assumption, but not unreasonable I think you would agree).


As a stand alone action/romance anime (which it is classified as, so don't be surprise if there is a someone x someone involved) it's a decent anime. Maybe as an adaptation it fails, but as an anime it's a decent watch.
One day we will come upon each other, and for that day my claws, teeth, ears, hands and hair are at the ready.

I found it average before reading the VN.

Meh, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but find it surprising that this anime has such a large anti-fan base (I guess that would be the correct term?), but I guess a popular loose adaptation will get that.

i'd like to say something, Fai i think u're complaining too much, i watched the anime and played part of the VN fate route and found nothing inconsistent between the two. i watched the anime first and then read fate, personally i feel deen represented the characters and set the tone just fine, to elaborate on this when i read the VN it felt very light hearted and calm, that's the exact same feeling i get watching the anime. The characters personalities remained the same too as well most of the story.

so honestly don't see what the problem is, i think you think the anime sucks simply because u read the novel first and expected to get the same feelings out from the anime

sure they made some minor changes but most of the feelings was the same and i'm pretty sure if you do a plot and timeline poster you will find most of the events that happen are the same.[u/]

but i do think it was epic fail attempt to establish the relationship between Rin and Sakura.

I too watched the anime before reading the visual novel.

I didn't find it to be THAT bad. But yeah, I definitely recommend reading the visual novel over the anime. If you have around 50 hours of spare time, read the visual novel. It's worth it.

As a general rule, ALL visual novel adaptations will have tons of flaws, due to scenes being cut out, resulting in less developed characters in the anime. It's inevitable.

You mean except for the fact that Shirou is litterally 180 degree different from his VN counterpart, the events are toned down from the way they happen in the VN and the actual character development is removed.

fate in VN was basically a cat and mouse game of "find the master". there's nothing lighthearted at that. DEEN's FSN turned it into sexist dating sim.

Except not. They took the certain VN events and added them in the same order into otherwise ENTIRELY different narrative.

The difference is that most of adaptations STILL relatively follow the plot and logic of the VN.

DEEN's FSN is litterally "fuck this, let's do something random"
