[@dinugs4052]

The studio Deen Fate is definitely not amazing, but Deen really nailed the vibe of the visual novel in a way Ufotable never did. The art, character design, and especially the music makes you feel like you’re watching the VN. I love it

[@vicount3944]

[@xgenshin4077]

Yeah, ufotable took a different approach about the adaptation ( may be because they try to attract audiences that haven't play the vn)... what i am surprised about is that the directors of hf(sudo) and ubw(miura) are actually fan of the vn, in fact sudo requested ufo to give him the responsibility .so i am not sure why they took a different approach from the vibe of the vn....

[@ShotterGames]

For me reading the VNs and watching the anime is a completely different experience, watching Ufotable I was just caring what was the next epic fight, but when reading the novel I didn't care if they spent 3 hours with the characters just talking with each other. It's one of the reasons why I love F/HA aka sequel but not sequel of FSN, just a lot of fun interactions and more characterization that didn't exist on the original because of constant danger, and I fear for a adaptation because I think they're just going to follow the "plot", but it's so complicated to adapt that it may never happen anyway.

I'm in love with how well you understood Fate/Zero. I am a first-time watcher of your content, so at the beginning I was questioning how BASED on facts and how deep will your opiniong be, but dare I say, my expectations were far surpassed. I kinda skipped UBW and Stay Night review, because I wanted to see a main thing, my favourite anime probably, as a true stress-test for my nerves and expectations, so I was suprised to see how well you spotted some of details. Like, I never even thought of how "tragic" part of the ost "Tragedy and Fate" could resamble Artoria's sacrifice, tragedy and pain she felt in a way, because I never was thinking about music while watching the actual series. Maybe I don't have that high of a taste or sth else is in the case, but I always viewed Yuki's music as amazing as it is because it is delivering that emotion to the show so well and not only that, but it's general tempo that it provides with combination of experimental music elements, even tend to enhance the enviroment and... I always find fascinating when someone connects details in regards to music with show and also the way you saw why Saber was choosen to be a match for Kiritsugu was also amazing.... Ahhh... I don't usually don't write the comments and I didn't even complete the video, but thus far, this was astonishing video and I definitely have to completr. Just wanted to say thank you, for this...

One of my favorite things about Lancelot is that in the mobile app every servant gets a extra class that they deal more damage to, and most of the anime servants have something to do with their anime like Chiron dealing more damage to riders and Achilles doing more damage to archers. but Lancelot’s skill you would think be doing more damage to sabers but instead it’s berserkers because if there is anyone he hates more then saber it’s himself

[@ayoshi5616]

I don’t mind Gigguk’s videos, I think they’re quite fun, but you put it very well with the Spider-Man example. A friend of mine once asked me what he should watch next after Zero and Stay Night and he was very surprised after I said whatever you want. He was under the impression that everything had specific order you had to go through, when actually once you get over the where to start hurdle it doesn’t really matter.

summoning a servant who is similler to you only happens WITHOUT a catalyst as long as you have a catalyst a servant that matches you in some way will not be summoned we have actuall evil people summoning richard the lionheart and heracles

[@bungiesblueflames]

42:10 the actual explanation is that you need a catalyst to summon a certain servant. Because Kiritsugu had Artoria’s scabbard Avalon, he managed to summon her. Same thing goes for Waver who used a piece of Alexander’s cape and Shirou who unknowingly used Avalon since it was implemented into him to save him from the Fuyuki Fire. The only time the Master’s personality is taken into account by the summoning is when a catalyst isn’t present. Which is the case with Ryuunosuke and Bluebeard, and Sakura and Rider.

[@whiteraven562]

Kiritsugu was able to summon King Arthur because he had an artifact tied to her. That let him overwrite the grail's default of picking a servant similar to him. Contrast that with Ryuunosuke the serial killer who didn't have an artifact and summoned...another serial killer

[@-THE_META]

46:50 The in-universe reason why most servants don't have accents is probably because A) most are older than modern English and weren't proficient in it. Most are having the grail just give them the language proficiency and if they had an accent it would be based on whatever language they did speak in their life which would be too hard or impossible to figure out for older servants. B) Most of the time the servants are speaking Japanese through the grail, so accents are even weirder to have. Apocrypha tackles this mostly the best because the Servants are maybe speaking English in that one. Shakespeare is the only servants that could rely on their own native Modern English proficiency. So, Shakespeare has his accent (or close enough). Jack was just a bunch of fetuses so she never knew language. I don't know what Shiro's accent should be considering all his weird stuff so they didn't bother. Fran should have a Swiss accent if she learned English in the novel but that's implied but not known, but that wasn't going to happen. Jeanne is older than Modern French and English and the default accent they give every servant is fine. Her host body should have had a French accent tho. It is also possible everyone is speaking German (because Darnic) in Apocrypha and everything gets thrown out the window.

[@eclipsewaves]

Babylonia won't stick to you because most of people don't even know the concept of Fate/Grand Order. Babylonia is the Singularity before Solomon, and there's like 5 Singularities before Babylonia.

[@noble7065]

I think that's a common theme among casual fate fans. A lot of them seem to prefer Zero and I think that's mainly because when you forget the rest of fate and take it alone it might be the best. The problem with it is mainly that once you take it in the context of fate stay night it doesn't fit as a bridge for saber's backstory and her character in Stay night, but that's not something most casual fans would notice or care about. No offense btw, some people might dislike casual fans saying they're not "real" fans. I don't think that.

Imma be absolutely honest I talked to more and more Fate fans in the past couple months than I have in the past few years and they are COMPLETELY like the people Gigguk was describing. I had some idiots angry at ME because my friend went and watched the cooking show first. I didn't make him do that, but they literally blamed me for "ruining his fate experience by letting him do that". And they were not joking, and it was not just one person who had that reaction. Fate fans gotta calm down lmao, I played the VN in 2006 and have been a fan ever since but some of them are literally the stereotype. But I agree 100% with the remark "if you enjoy it you'll end up watching everything else and get the same big picture experience.

[@nelisezpasce]

The VN got translated in 2008 I start to doubt everything else you said, but you're free to share some evidence

[@frogking307]

The thing about the fate fandom well the type moon fandom in general is that it’s very split. As the man gigguk said they’re are fate fans and then they’re are grand order fans or zero fans. I’ll say the closer they are to the og fate the worst they are.

[@_Aeterno]

They're angry because they care about people's experience more than people themselves do. Can we really blame them for that? The problem is not a single Fate anime makes as much sense, is as detailed, or has as much impact as the original source material, therefore having less chances of enjoying the franchise in the first place. You only need one experience of reading something and seeing it suck in comparison as you first experience in an adaptation to understand the value of not ignoring the source material. Novel readers usually just want you to experience and enjoy things the way they were meant to be, they understand deeply that the first impression is everything. But nowadays many people simultaneously assume Fate franchise is oh so very complex to get into yet choose the most complex and non-cohesive way of experiencing Fate through the adaptations. You're quite literally less likely to get spoiled or confused if you follow the release dates of the novels (just like the case of Monogatari order confusion, to give a somewhat similar example), yet most just want their experience to be over with as quickly as possible without taking in the details from the source material that can make or break a story, and not taking in the history and the real value of the properly in general. You can only go so far in claiming to get the "same big picture experience" until you realize what you were missing and how radically your perception changes depending on how you start experiencing the franchise. Anime only casuals who don't care should mostly ignore the salt, but at the same time realize they aren't the ones in the right either. No one has the time to read every single notable novel before watching the adaptation to be a big brain every single time, but having to choose wisely a few of those historically impactful novel based franchises in Japanese media culture to potentially get into for real when you get super tired of this endless storm of small fry samey seasonal anime is very refreshing and worth trying out since it might re-ignite your passion for anime all over again. here's hoping this made things a bit clearer

Damn, I need to go to sleep because these hallucinations are really getting to me. I'm already seeing other VN readers praising Zero. Jokes aside, cool series. Wish you had talked more about Carnival Phantasm, as I really feel like it's a comedy masterpiece. The self-awareness and the references are top notch. But let me just point out a couple things you might have misunderstood. I'm pretty sure the sword Shirou projects when fighting Berserker along with Saber is actually Caliburn, which is the sword Artoria pulled from the stone and used until she was given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake. It might be a bit conflicting with certain versions of the Arthurian myth, but that's how it is in universe. Shirou supposedly wouldn't even be able to project Excalibur because the necessary amount of mana would need him to be jacked into the Root or some shit. Also, you said something about handing over a part of his magical circuits to Saber during the mana transfer, but it was most likely only mana, as Saber only has a Magical Core. Transplanting a magical circuit is more akin to donating a whole battery rather than the energy inside of it, like Rin does to Shirou in UBW. That being said, great video. It might not be great for new watchers because of the spoilers, but it really goes to show the Fate franchise is not nearly as convoluted and esoteric as some make it out to be.

Who is the certain KZbinr? 4:20 onwards I'll be updating as a watch, Fate is in my top 3 with Re:Zero I also feel like you call asspulls many things that are common narrative tricks, not just In this video. Shirou is foreshadowed multiple times as having further secrets as part of his capabilities, both in stay Deen, and the visual novels. Fate route makes it seem like he really does have the power of friendship, love and stuff like that. but I guess you already know it's not the case. 39:42 They can't use a non mage, because they would know of the existence of magic, and even if you kill them after they've done their job, magic in Fate works in a way which makes it so if anyone understands another's magic, magic as a whole becomes slightly weaker each time this happens. Mages are personally invested in keeping magic a secret because of this, not only because your magic may have a weakness, but also because if normal people discover magic they'll tell someone else, and that might be a cascade of events making magic weaker every single time. In fact, if everyone knew of the existence of magic it wouldn't exist anymore in Fate, because it would lose all Mystery. Something mentioned in fate stay Deen I believe, where a mystery can only be beaten by a greater mystery in the fight between saber and rider. Or maybe I'm remembering the visual novel and not the anime. As for simply killing Irisviel with a Hitman, killing Irisviel doesn't mean her servant goes away immediately. Maybe if Saber doesn't manage to react, which is hard to imagine, they kill her, but Saber could simply go find someone else to make a pact with. The important mage families would know in fact, that the most important part of using the grail is making sure the magical energy making up the servant goes back into the greater grail, not killing the master. Killing the master is simply the easiest way to attempt to take out a servant. Not everyone pulls the kiritsugu because it implies exposing family secrets. There is no guarantee that some assassin isn't a spy, while Kiritsugu is a known character in the Clock tower of London and he has exploitable "Weaknesses" like love. The pact he enters is also very restrictive for him, would a spy take that considering there is magic for spying your mind? I dunno. And most importantly not everyone can participate in a grail war, the grail chooses, at most you you can offer good candidates and try to lower the chances of irregular candidates by purposely summoning servants asap. The reason Kiritsugu gets saber is because the Einzbern family straight up gets Avalon, the scabbard of her sword, you can pick your own servant if you just get a relic related to them. In fact, Waver gets Alexander the Great because he stole from Kayneth a fragment of Alexander's actual Cape. The whole thing of summoning a servant similar to you, only comes into play if you have no relic to help you. About Kiritsugu's point as a character and what Fate 0 is trying to say, well, Nasu dislikes heroism. Stay night in general is a critique of heroism, and urobuchi wrote Kiritsugu as a way to probably show what a simple utilitarian view of saving lives would bring about, to enhance the stay night routes and offer an expansion to Shirou's actions. The grail in Fate CAN make his ideals real, but it can only give form to something, so if you yourself don't know how you'd do it, the grail can't grant your wish. Not only that but the whole of illusory boat sequence is a show of what it would look like if the grail actually went through with his wish as Kiritsugu sees saving people to be like. Rider's noble phantasm doesn't have anything to actually kill that outer God, and none of the soldiers in there can destroy a whole fortress in a single hit. Though maybe that wasn't an actual question. Finished the video, it's great. I don't like some of the handwaving you expressed towards the plot but whatever. Hey now, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the JoJo videos! Well, one viewer more or less doesn't actually matter, but I really enjoy the videos. I don't always comment but I do watch.

[@amari7782]

To answer the question of who he’s referring to it’s most likely gigguk due to the fact that he made a meme video that screwed over the fate community because he made a sequence of meme videos that made fate out to be as complicated as humanly possible and because everyone now takes it to heart and every time he tried to explain fate from that point onwards he just couldn’t stop making it more convoluted.

[@BygoneT]

@@amari7782 Ah, I see. Yeah that's the thing, people say they can differentiate reality from fiction but couldn't even try to see if it's all a meme or not. Many people I know actually think some meme info to be true. It's such a shame, Fate is very deserving of praise.

Definitely not an uncommon opinion. I know there are older Type Moon fans who consider Fate to have ruined the franchise as a whole.

[@GhostRS3411]

@@drago9606 If you don’t know already, Kara no Kyoukai is not released in chronological order and it’s meant to be a more philosophical work. The first film is the second weakest, especially if you don’t appreciate the philosophical talk about flying vs floating. I’d at least watch the second film since it’s the actual chronological beginning of the story. Before you mention it, I wouldn’t watch Kara no Kyoukai in chronological order of the story but based on release since it’s part of the greater mystery.

[@TheTemujin27]

You could probably take any master/servant duo in Fate/Zero and give them their own show, they're all great. But my absolute favorite has to be Kotomine and Gilgamesh. Kotomine discovering his sadist nature while Gilgamesh eggs him on, the homoerotic tension between the two of them is just incredible.

[@sillysalad0]

i would not say it would be a good idea lol Kiri and Saber would just be arguing, Gilles and Ryu would just be killing and mutilating children, kariya would just be about finding ways to NTR tokiomi, Tokiomi and Gil idfk what would even be about, kirei and assassin aswell. this idea really only works for Waver & Iskandar, and Kirei and Gil.

To be fair, Saber IS weaker in Fate route than in Zero. Same as Rider, both suffer from not so great Masters.
