Ckan said: Ok. I'll be serious.This kind of weak baiting is what killed this thread. F/SN is overrated. The anime is absolutely atrocious. The visual novel isn't bad per se, but it is quite lacking compared to Fate/Zero which was more compelling and mature. F/SN focuses on teenagers who acted as such, much to its detriment. F/Z on the other hand, largely focused on adults who were competent and understood the situation at hand as evidence by the seriousness with which the majority of them took it. The darker atmosphere made the show more intriguing and clear that the viewer would be going through an epic story that had value. F/SN was burdened by lackluster slice of life scenes and immature characters who were in over their heads, so it didn't feel nearly as suspenseful. Yes there were some amazing scenes particularly in regards to action, but it prioritizes style over substance. Most of the characters in F/Z were interesting and worth caring about more or less, whereas F/SN's were largely bland. It was disappointing to see how Kirei was turned into a generic villain when he had shown so much promise as a character, and Gil lost a significant amount of his complexity. We were able to sympathize with Kiritsugu's plight and root for him despite his flaws because Urobuchi was a competent writer who could craft tragic characters who possessed non-trivial levels of depth. Kerry was serious, cold, and logical, and the decisions he made were believable and understandable. Fast forward to F/SN, we have a hotheaded shounen who's quite dense and stubborn. He made numerous boneheaded decisions throughout the course of the show and it was painful to watch. It wouldn't be so painful if he were as deep as Kerry, but unfortunately that isn't the case (though he does have a small amout of depth). Rin was awful and a bit annoying. She kept acting arrogant and pretended to be skillful, but ultimately she was still green behind the ears and another shallow tsundere. The two are an annoying but tolerable pair, but they still somehow managed to entertain me in large part due to the things they were able to pull out of their asses on a regular basis when plot armor failed to protect them. F/Z did have plot armor (particularly pertaining to scenes with Gil) as well, but not nearly as much. F/SN is better than the sum of its parts if you can look beyond its glaring flaws, but even then F/Z is still the superior work. Taken from one of the Fate threads. |

| Shirobako is underrated. |
| Okashi pls Just let sleeping dogs lie |

| Zaregoto is underrated. |
| Ragnastrike angels is underrated Sure it's literally a 30 second TV spot but that doesn't mean it deserves to be rated less than 5 |
| Flying Witch is heavily underrated :/ |
| wow this thread is still alive tanaka-kun is underrated and underwatched. |
|
| Strike the Blood is overrated and Rokujouma no Shinryakusha is underrated. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| that delete tho @cupc lmao Okashi said: I've actually only watched the first episodeFlying Witch is heavily underrated :/ It was nice, was very SoL so I don't think I can marathon it. NeoAnkara said: actually only ReaperCreeper and me have rated it higher than 5 kek, we both rated it 6Strike the Blood is overrated. I enjoyed it but those fanservice parts... wut was that |

| The Gargantia ones were really nice imo. It's a shame they're essentially set-up to the sequel we'll never get. @ReaperCreeper |

IIE SENPAI WATASHITACHI NO KENKA DES |

she wanted me to delete it because I was 'bullying her'. how cute~ |
|
| Haifuri is underrated I thought people were all over this shit but it's rated a lowly 7.11 Seems moe is plain suicidal if you're aiming for the top 10 around here. |
| It's sad but what can you do. |
|
| D-Frag is underrated. Hilarious school comedy where every episode had me laughing at least once, the wacky characters are full of awesome moments and have good chemistry. Needs more seasons in my opinion. |
| I agree. D-Frag is underrated. But seriously though, Flying Witch is really underrated, it should be 8.50+ |
| Rainbow live is still heavily underrated why haven't you watched it save pretty rhythm from become a Shonen-ai-fucboi series |
| Gun x Clover is underrated. It's a rare sight. A harem protagonist who's sadistic and created his harem, rather than it being magically given to him. |
"Hi!" |

japaniMay said: That's a pretty common opinion here, tbh.Re:Zero is overrated, don't kill meh |
|
ReaperCreeper said: japaniMay said: That's a pretty common opinion here, tbh.Re:Zero is overrated, don't kill meh but general opinion of it is mixed at best I mean nobody can stop watching in spite of that but nobody could stop watching attack on trains either although that said I must say, you would never guess from the forums that it's rating would be as high as 8.77. Meh, it'll probably go down once this shit finishes airing unless it has a strong enough finale to make everybody forget this arc. It's possible, there's a lot of shows with high ratings even though they were pretty meh overall just because they had a strong ending. |
