Someone please explain to me: How do you still take an anime 100% seriously, with these designs:



How do you look at these character designs and not even chuckle? How do you treat an anime with these kinds of character designs as seriously as Berserk? Tokyo Ghoul? Or any other dark anime?

Why do people like Gigguk knack Akame ga Kill, an insanely dark series, for having incredibly ridiculous character designs that contrast the tone, but not Fate?

I couldn't take it seriously cause I was half-asleep most of the time.

I am deciding which makes me more sleepier, Fate or Aria.

Because the females in fate are really hot Also the story has a pretty good standard. The moment I started fate and saw they removed the sex scenes I knew it would be a disaster.

man i don't know which fan you talking to but obviously there going to be fan that take it seriously and those that don't and i think most fan don't

obviously when someone start discuss power level ,lore and shit it look seriously but i really think that they just enjoy debate shit like that

than look at comic and fanart which 80% is just funny everyday life comic
and bigger contender is fgo which just mix with serious stuff and goofy shit turn historical figure into loli and shit give king arthur a fucking swimsuit? even some weird joke servant ,the game don't take itself too seriously

i mean fan going to fan and fate didn't have the most healthy fanbase is it.

Fate is serious business to them. If you fight them, be prepared to receive a damn wall of text.

I know a person here on MAL who takes Fate seriously, as if you just insult his way of living. But it seems he's not active here on MAL anymore. (Which is a good thing)

a) I already see more praise for Ilya than for any other fate entry, so that meme is dead :P
b) Zero is still the best tho. Apo & Extra are just more enjoyable and interesting than UBW/FSN imo. Better characters too. At least Apo, I still haven't seen that much of extra and it might be worse than UBW.

The point is just that the most praised, the main entry of the franchise is the least enjoyable and most boring part of the franchise. Which is ironic, since that's where most of the fanboying comes from.

Haven't seen FSN in years, like, half a decade or something, so can't say much about that.

Just because there's some goofy stuff here and there, doesn't mean the story itself can't be serious or carry darker elements either. Thus us fans of the franchise will take the serious stuff seriously and the goofy stuff as good fun. Also your interpretation of Herc made me face palm irl, i think your the racist one here tbh.

Well if you don't want to take the opportunity I gave you to salvage your taste, I can't force you :P.

Zero is still the most enjoyable part of the franchise by far imo, and I don't even like Urobuchi in general.

It's basically 1 season split into 2 cours so you haven't finished it without s2. But I think both seasons were pretty consistent in terms of quality, even tho I probably slightly prefer the second one.

And why wouldn't they take it seriously? Most of the fate entries are not comedy or even 'goofy' enough to warrant treating it as such.
I don't see how colourful designs matter at all in here, are you saying having shit boring designs with horrible colour palette like Texhnolyze is in any way better? That's not how you achieve a serious atmosphere. Utena is incredibly colourful and I have yet to see anyone saying it's not serious, and the same can be said about hundreds of anime out there.

I have yet to play the visual novel, but honestly, I doubt it's in any meaningful way different. The anime has a serious and likeable cast, unique setting and does deal with some dark stuff. There is enough reasons to take it seriously, no matter how many retarded, idiotic meme lords scream about it being a porn game adaptation.


Hercules isn't even black so the random bullshit about it being a racist representation is ridiculuos.

Except Fate barely has comedic moments. It has comedic character designs, and all the characters still take each other incredibly seriously.

While I pretty much agree, most of the stuff you pointed out is not from the VNs.

Everything outside the VNs (and Zero) was written by the first person grabbed off the street, provided they were capable of writing a full sentence. As such, most of Fate is just shit writing.

As for the sex scenes, well, most VNs are porn games, apparently because (read it somewhere, don't quote me on it) it's much easier to find a publisher for those. Porn sells.

(I also hate how they're genderswapping half the characters. It worked with Saber once, so now every spinoff writer wants three of those).
