Hmm, I have trouble feeling that then. I feel it's the same with Caster and Rider' doing I don't deny the tone after the twist though. With time constraints I doubt HF movies will have much time for cooking, not that I didn't like the cooking scenes. Type-moon loves playing with their characters and settings, that's one of the main reasons I love them. I mean come on, ask yourself. Would we really love Kotomine as much as we do without that scene with the mapo tofu? Sure fs/n does enjoy employing a few tropes, but you can't have lord of the rings without a few sexy elves. |

If there are two animes with equal quality in plot, character development, etc, and one is kids and one is adults then I will enjoy the adult one more. I never said it was bad to have high school kids as the central characters, I just said I don't like it. Especially if they are typical highschool characters. FSN2006 to me is a harem. It was kind of annoying having the standard teenage kid and they just keep adding more and more girls to his house, building the harem. I didn't really find much fleshed out about any of the characters. Then again, apparently most people hated FSN2006. My preferred anime genre is Seinen |

And if Ufotable adapts this well then none of the characters should come off as relatable, everyone involoved is supposed to be a broken individual. |

No because F/SN is kiddie harem show for 8 year olds while F/Z is mature darkness on the levels of Akama Go Kill and Assault on Giants. |
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Will FSN be higher rated than FZ? If the quality continues to hold, then yes. Or at least I hope so, because I definitely think the story and characters are better in Fate/stay night. Fate/Zero is one of the best anime series I've watched, yes, but if ufotable continues to deliver then this one will most certainly be better. Not to mention the Heaven's Feel movies... those will be at the very top for me, no doubt about it, since HF is my favourite route. But will the majority of MAL voters think that F/SN is better F/Z? Who knows really. Clearly the DEEN's adaptations has given the wrong impression of F/SN to some... hopefully they'll see just how good this series really can be when done right with ufotable's adaptations. |

When FSN finishes airing, it will be so high rated that MAL will go broken with 13.37/10 aggregate score. |

He was talking about shonen, so I said my preferred genre. However now that you mention it, the Anime F/Z and the FSN2006 Anime do seem like they have different target audiences. Also, wikipedia lists FS/N as Shonen, and F/Z as seinen. Not sure how that's determined though. |

There isn't even room for disagreement. Kariya and Kiritsugu are manchilds who never were able to really go on with life and grow up. And Fate/Zero is set up as a tragedy with a foregone conclusion, which is a pretty common drama thing in Japan. All the Masters and some of the Servants are acting like idiots and that was clearly Urobuchi's and Nasu's intention, when Uro wrote it. Well, you saw Fate/Zero first and don't have FSN's knowledge yet, so it is natural that you think so, but that's just how it is. |

He is in love with Aoi, who's actually a wedded woman with a child, but he still isn't able to grow up, and dreams about being united with her. He's a bit of a problem. Takeuchi: I see. So Kariya is sort of like the chunibyo hero of the story. Chunibyo is a term that can be translated as a teenager who doesn't grow up. Yes, the author intentionally wrote them as manchilds. Even if you disagree here, that was how they were written. |

Kill the few to save the many is just how he got shit done, which is simply cold hearted yet logical.

Oh, and source: http://www.tsukikan.com/misc/nasu-kinoko-takeuchi-takashi-urobuchi-gen-special-forum.html As for the idiot part: Kiritsugu: FSN beats it into the reader's head that's it's foolish to think you want to become a champion of justice and save everyone. Worse, he did it by killing people and that doesn't even make him remotely happy. It's an impossible dream and while turning his mind into steel, deep inside he was crying. Nothing but regret filled his mind when he was dying. Yes, Shirou tries that too, but that's the point. They are both childish who cannot give up an impossible dream. Kariya: Don't even know where to begin. Never tells another person why Sakura needs to be saved from Zouken, tries to steal Aoi by killing his rival Tokiomi during the whole war. Sends his mana consuming Servant into chaotic battles two times to attack a Servant that clearly outmatches his. Kayneth: Never managed to cooperate with his Servant. The author notes how both of them would have been serious contenders if they had a talk and showed more respect to each other. Sola-Ui: No comment... Tokiomi: Dumb judge of characters. Even Kirei saw instantly that Zouken is not a good guy. Also didn't see how Kirei is not nearly as loyal as his father is. Ryuunosuke: All the killings without preserving the secrets of magic caused the Church to put a bounty on him. Waver: He willingly went into a battle with no notable skills. It's more or less thanks to his Servant that he managed to survive. Kirei: Mostly did clever things, when he started to act independently. killslash said: From the F/Z anime Kerry didn't want to save the world using that way, he even said he wanted to save the world a different way but the grail didn't know how because Kerry didn't know.

No, nothing in the world can just ka-boom save the world. The Grail was never an omnipotent wishing device. It is more than naive to think it a possibility. Shirou never thought about using the Grail to fulfill his wish. |

Saving everyone is more healthier since you arent twisting the situation more. Its like doing just for the SAKE of doing... You arent thinking of future, rather just trying to make present good... which certainly wont happen. And let's face it, Shirou was unguided the whole time. Kerry atleast had training. He could have tried in better way no? We do see how it turned out in the end. And well, considering Kerry he would never chose that option. Hell Grail is corrupt too... so it may result in something even worse if he had accepted it. Not saying I hate Kerry because of that. I love his character. Its awesome. Heck, after reading FZ I can understand how the man who shaped Shirou's ideal himself became so twisted. No wonder Kerry was happy finally in the end ^^ |

Like I said, Kerry knew his dream was foolish and he did wanted to save everyone that's why he seek the grail. After learning that it won't help either, he let go of it. Yet people only consider one part of his story. |

Then again, unless you have read VN you really cant appreciate his complex behavior. I suppose I can't. Maybe with the this new anime I can. From the F/Z anime Kerry didn't want to save the world using that way, he even said he wanted to save the world a different way but the grail didn't know how because Kerry didn't know. Kill the few to save the many is just how he got shit done, which is simply cold hearted yet logical. If he felt the actions would result in more deaths than saved (by causing wars and hate) he wouldn't do them. It was all cold numbers until he changed his ways at the end. The problem is, This is FAR from logical. You call killing without any CLEAR definite purpose and having no surety as logical? when we dont know something for sure, we CLEARLY avoid doing it.] |

Yes Kiriya was foolish, and childish dreams, I agree with the writer, but the english term Manchild I feel does not apply to him. He was kind of an idiot in battle, sure. However he did have ideals that made a lot more sense than when he was arguing with Tokiomi, that showed a level of maturity. Seems kind of a mixed bag. Maybe he is shown as more of a manchild in the LN. Kiritsugu is not a manchild, but a tragic hero. Kayneth is basically just an asshole. In the anime it seemed like he made some smart decisions. He definately made mistakes, but idiot? nah. Sola-Ui: This character seemed clever, and then died. The anime didn't show much of her at all, so IDK much. Tokiomi: Had no reason to misjudge kirei, as he had been loyal his whole life. Ryuunosuke: I don't know if "idiot" is appropriate here. Dude was just wacko. He gave no fucks and just wanted to kill people. Waver: Naive, but he is a kid still. He always was protected by his servant. I think his servant would not have fought as fiercely if he had a master who hid in the shadows. Naive, but a total idiot.....eh...seems like stretch to call it that. Kirei: Clever dude. yep. Also, writers themselves do not have absolute authority on their work when it comes to interpretations of characters. If the writer said Kariya was intended to be the most mature, reasonable, respectable adult in the entirety of type-moon universe, obviously people would disagree. They can write a character a certain way and try to portray them a certain way, but that does not necessarily mean that the character will be interpreted the same way by the audience. Side note: We can go at it point by point back and forth and bring up various things, but I don't think it's going to get us anywhere. Almost all subjective arguments I've had end up boiling down do "well, I just disagree". I may or may not end up doing another point-by-point counterargument. Too often a waste of time. |

I think his servant would not have fought as fiercely if he had a master who hid in the shadows. Naive, but a total idiot.....eh...seems like stretch to call it that. Kirei: Clever dude. yep. To be fair, you can interpret this more freely by only seeing the anime. The Light Novel makes several things quite clear. -Because that is how it's shown in Kariya's case. Sakura was a means to an end. He wanted above everything Aoi. Also, while Kariya had his little talk with Aoi, his thoughts made it clear that this is not how someone mature would act and think. Tokiomi can also be portrayed in a better light, once one actually understands what Sakura's talent actually is and why she needed protection. I bet a FakePriest will call me out on this and say this is just a lame excuse, but I can claim the opposite just as well. -A man, who doesn't give up on his childish ideals of world peace. He already found his happiness before the war started, but he was willing to kill those who are close to him for people he doesn't even know. And in the end his ideals drove him into despair. This is how it's described right at the beginning of the Light Novel. He never was able to let go of his dream. I'd say that pretty much fits manchild and idiot both. -Again, he whole mess with Sola-Ui and Lancer would not have happened if Kayneth had a serious talk with Lancer, the fault lies in both Kayneth and Lancer, as both didn't manage to understand each other. That's the point again, talking. Sola-Ui wasn't really clever. And neither was Lancer in that regard, or the ambush on her never would have happened. -What Risei and Tokiomi never saw, but what Gilgamesh suspected from the beginning. It only took a look for Zouken and Shirou to figure out, that Kirei cannot be trusted. And Tokiomi still made his whole family's life worse, when he gave Sakura to the wrong family. Good intentions, not so good judgment. -Mad people can still act foolish. Granted, he probably didn't know he shouldn't cause too much attention. -Being still half a child excuses the fact that what he did wasn't really clever at all? Above everything, Waver had luck. Compare him with how Lord El-Melloi II turned out and the differences are quite clear. Waver is in theory a great magus, but practically he stands no chance against many magi and he knows it. I didn't say he's a total idiot, but idiot still applies to his behavior. killslash said: Also, writers themselves do not have absolute authority on their work when it comes to interpretations of characters.

No, but Urobuchi did write Kariya as an immature character, so this applies here. People would see your example as a joke, just as Nasu tweeted Shinji is the greatest gentleman. I'll give it to you though, how ufotable adapted it is something different. I understand how people who only saw the anime can interpret it your way, but I had the source material in mind. I accept your interpretation of the characters, but I must note that how the Light Novel was written pretty much confirms Urobuchi's, Nasu's and Takeuchi's interpretations in the interviews. |

I'm liking how this is escalating :P MAL forums are so much fun XD And to be on topic- I think FSN would be rated higher than FZ, since from most comments its clear there a huge fanbase of the VNs which is bound to propagate into the anime ratings. But personally vote for FZ anyday. |

I think that the 3-way split (prologue, first cour, second cour) will be damaging towards the ratings. Many will probably rate the prologue on its own solely due to the way it's listed on MAL, and obviously as a stand-alone "movie" you can't give it a 10 since it's just a setup... The same will probably apply to the first cour of UBW. I will just wait for all 3 to air and then rate them with the same grade for the overall enjoyment, even though it kind of goes against how the MAL scoring should work. |

I wanted to talk about it for some reason, and decided to make a MAL account finally. And holy crap I did not expect what resulted after my quickly made post. |

I still think the fairest option would have been to keep this as part of the main series. |

I see F/Z (LN) keeping up with everything F/SN did. people here bashing mindlessly on it makes me worry, as it was a consensus before the anime that was very good as prequel and even on pair with the F/SN VN, but now is "worse than F/SN, Urobuchi misinterpreted character x" to dismiss F/Z anime fans who think that F/SN is shit. |

I don't really discredit FZ or Urobuchi here, but I have something against those who write FSN off as something that isn't "dark" or anything, simply because it involves highschoolers. Besides, seinen and shounen aren't a genre. Demographics aren't a genre. And personally, FZ was for me never as good as FSN. That's not hard though, FSN is a whole lot longer than FZ. I see FZ as a good prequel and good complementary material though. |

I'm not really bashing FZ though, as I've said above. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to say FZ is more mature, when more than half the cast doesn't act any more mature or smarter than those in FSN. That isn't necessarily criticism of FZ, that was Urobuchi's intention after all. FZ was meant to be experienced after FSN, as a tragedy, anyway and I found it interesting enough. People have preferences, sure. But if it's something like "mature" or "dark" then I don't understand why this doesn't apply to FSN as well. It's some of the reasons why people supposedly prefer FZ over FSN that irritate me. |

I think everyone should really stop this childish discussion. You cannot compare a show that has finished airing with a show that only just started to air. When you say "using VN for this argument is invalid", the other side has the right to say "using the 2006 anime for this argument is invalid". Because not only the storyline was different, but the characterization as well (not to mention the staff was completely different aside from the VAs). I'd say you should continue this discussion next June when this anime finished airing. |
