Mahou Tsukai no Yoru - Aozaki Aoko vs. Flat Snark (Blacklight Starbow)

Here's a link for a full interview: tsukikan.com/misc/4gamer-interview-with-mahou-tsukai-no-yoru-staff.html and this is what nasu said: Tsukuri: According to rumors, it seems there will be a 2 and 3. Nasu: Th-that, a written proposal like that does exist! ...Ah, I'm very sorry. 「Mahoyo」's story has come to an end for now, but the story on that street that centers around the lives of those three is still going. Just like after 「Jukkaku-kan no Satsujin」 there is 「Suisha-kan no Satsujin」. I think there will be a total of 3 games. In the end, Aoko, Soujuro, and Alice's future will be clearly shown ...Of course we don't want the players to continue waiting like this, so hopefully the release time for the 2nd and 3rd part will be shorter. The real story will begin in the 2nd part. 4Gamer: Oh oh, so there will be sequels! Nasu: There will be sequels. Although the first part has concluded as a young adult work, there are places in there that made people go "?". Because we spread some very subtle hints, most readers will likely think "it's probably because of this." I think when the answers are revealed, it'll bring you the highest level of catharsis... in this regard I can only ask you to wait for the 3rd part.

[@TheGoldenPS1]

20:10 Another fantastic theme by Keita Haga (pen name: KATE). My favourite Type-Moon composer! That level of epicness when you're about to dethrone your enemy can only be created by Haga-san. Daisuke Nagata (pen name: James Harris) is another Type-Moon composer but I don't really know what he did since he has been involved with every visual novel since Fate/stay night. Keita Haga has been around since Tsukihime.

[@Worm38p]

That theme is by Hideyuki Fukasawa and not by KATE though. For Mahoyo : - Hideyuki Fukasawa composed the main theme, the themes of Aoko, Alice and Soujuurou that are named after them, the arrangements of the classical music used (not the Dark Eyes arrangement though), "main theme/winter", "idyllic blue", "through the looking-glass, and troubles", "Judicare Tibi", "duel/one-on-one", "face-to-face/out border", "FLAT SNARK", "flowery/finality", "great three/manifestation" which is the one you were talking about, "decision/turbulence overdrive", "nostalgia", "main theme/everyday", "main theme/sleep", "rondo/witch Tale", "imbalance/Alice", "KINROU/ELEMENTS", "imbalance/blue", "Five", "innocence", "First star", "main theme/intuition", "story of you", "see you again, miss blue!" and "extra magic number?". Basically, the overwhelming majority of what plays during every climactic moment of the VN, be it character moment or action, but not much of the music for the slice of life scenes. - James Harris composed "waking up", "making a fuss", "laughing together", "~that orifice~", "longing for", "the road home" and "the way back". Mostly slice of life stuff. - KATE composed "shining lunch", "the sun also sets", "away from the town", "somebody with them", "tête-à-tête", "dilemma/herald", "dilemma/omen", "forever with you", "distant wound", "sweet pain" and this creepy arrangement of "Dark Eyes". Mostly slice of life or eerie stuff, basically. - hil composed "WORKING!!", "thames troll (wood)", "Elegant", "the clock ticks", "sky is surely" and "tempted to the night". Their moods are all over the place really. - ryo composed the ending that is sung by Nagi Yanagi. The only one that hasn't really impressed me in this is James Harris, but he is the original composer of "Emiya" and I do love that track.

[@MrDibara]

@9752matt Not THAT recently, honestly. Its story layout already had somewhat of a base on one of Nasu's oldest works from... I think it was highschool? Or college? And additionaly, this VN came out in 2012, 8 years ago. From there to now, I think there's been plenty of time for an anime adaptation to be made, at least for this first part. I guess Nasu may not be allowing it until he finishes launching the sequels? (he plans to make a Part 2 and Part 3) But if so, that's probably gonna take even more years to come, since he's so involved in the current Cosmos in the Lostbelt arc of FGO. (my best estimate is the story ending mid-year next year, unless I'm proven completely wrong by then)

[@PeachDragon_]

Problem is, the fate franchise is so much bigger than everything else in the nasuverse that everything else got shoved to the side. I LOVE fate, make no mistakes, but fucking hell, the rest of the nasuverse is just as good if not better, tsukihime is WAY above anything in the fate franchise by a fucking mile.

[@Maxoule22]

@@PeachDragon_ I agree, they need to stop milking that pathetic Fate franchise. Fate/Zero and original Fate/Stay Night were more than sufficient for this side of the Nasuverse. I just finished reading the Tsukihime manga (game too ugly for my taste) and while i do not agree its necessarily better than Fate Stay Night, it is definivitely not weaker by any means. Its just as good. Ciel's fight scenes would be godlike in anime form with some Yuki Kajiura music. Mahoyo is an engaging story with interesting character, but for some reason its more interesting for them to shove 15 different kinds of saber down people's throats. We get it, there can be other Holy Grail Wars or whatever, but it stagnate the Nasuverse which i got introduced to with Kara no kyoukai's movies . When i talk to people about anime i do not say i like "Fate", i tell them i like "Typemoon". Typemoon is not just fate for christ sake.

[@PeachDragon_]

@@Maxoule22 and also, let's be honest, fate is getting stale as hell, aside from a few servants here and there, and servants aren't even the true version of the heroes, they're just copies, the actual masters are all dogshit aside from kiritsugu and waver (and waver only becomes good as an adult). The only innovative fate adaptation currently is strange fake, but the manga is basically never gonna continue and the light novel is not nearly good enough for me to actually read it (i have a hard time with light novels because i am particularly stupid, so i only put effort into those i'm sure are masterpieces) Like, this game doesn't even have an English patch, THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS, at least kara no kyoukai has a movie series and tsukihime has a full manga, this doesn't even have a translation to the original raw source, meanwhile, fate grand order introduced 7+ saber faces in 2020 alone. Also, the only fate manga that is actually being continued is that shitty fate caleid where they don't even use actual servants, what they do instead is they use fucking cards to give lolis the powers of servants, it's basically a magic girl manga from what i've seen. Like, what is type moon doing that is ACTUALLY important to the nasuverse? NOTHING, ohhhh but they're doing heaven's feel wow! I couldn't give less of a fuck if i tried, it's the same shit with some differences, doesn't impress me. And even then, that's something UFOTABLE is doing, not type moon itself, so what's their fucking excuse.

[@PeachDragon_]

@@Maxoule22 grail wars are supposed to be a rare ritual, nothing more, nothing less, now they're the most important thing ever and there's one every two weeks apparently. Fate should've always been a piece in the nasuverse's expanded franchise, not 98% of the god damn verse. The least important out of the franchises is now the most important for no acceptable reason. Kara no kyoukai, this and tsukihime talk about the actual main nasuverse, not everything is a fucking grail war, type moon wants me to care more about servants that, even if i like them, they will disappear at the end of the war, and even if they die they'll reincarnate in another war, there's no weight, the story is irrelevant from the start, let's say i absolutely love Cu, the man either dies or wins the war, either way he fucks off, and i can't even go on and remember the things i liked about him, i have to watch the fucker get resuscitated, like, what do i care what happens to servants at this point?

That line refers to Shamhat saying that during the clash of Gilgamesh and Enkidu it FELT as if the world was destroyed seven times and born seven times. Which is just normal hyperbole. Aoko can't defeat Caster in a magus battle specifically, which obviously does not account for Magic because magi, who use magecraft, are specifically different from Magicians, who use Magic. The difference by terms of the modern world due to how much science has advanced makes the modern Five Magics something completely alien compared to magecraft. Both Aoko and Zelretch would trounce Gilgamesh simply because he cannot match Magic, as seen by how Ea is nothing before Avalon, a Magic in itself.

Father is a strong word. Brunestud worked with gaia to make the True Ancestors using Magic to kill all the humans. Arcueid was the ultimate one who would succeed him. Some shit happened and all the True Ancestors started drinking blood and made dead apostles, which made them go crazy. Gaia said fuck it Brunestud please just kill all the humans yourself, Brunestud said ok and made a clone of the moon and threw it at the Earth. Zelretch saw this, stopped it, then murdered Brunestud, found Arcueid, locked her in The Millennium Castle Brunestud to keep her locked up until she stopped being bloodthirsty.

Asking someone who played the VN: why didn't she wanted to use magic at the beginning?

[@timusw5967]

Using the Magic comes with great cost, even though Aozaki can do lots of things with it there are costs she had to repay as suggested by Touko. Also, once she used it she would trigger the Counter Forces and be haunted until her destruction. The red death she saw is a manifest of Araya for example, and if she’s not mentally prepared to go against it…well, she would explode maybe.

[@timusw5967]

Also she said herself she wasn’t sure how to use it to resolve the current situation…use of Magic need to be creative to have it effective I guess, since True Magic is only capable of doing “one thing” and is very limited.

[@BigBoss-gb4cx]

Tom Wu I wouldn't say it's limited since she was able to use her True Magic for time travel, even though time travel shouldn't been part of her power. Also how does Araya anything to do with a Counter Spirit? Or why would she be hunted by Counter Spirits? Or is it something like " if you use True Magic you will be hunted"?

[@timusw5967]

By Araya I'm referring to Arayashiki, the Counter Spirit of human subconciousness. The VN hint on the Counter Spirits when later Aoi used True Magic to save Suzuki and the "red death" questioned her "you are willing to be hunted by me just for that?!". And we know the only real threat to True Magic users are the two Counter Forces so... There's writing about the world trying its best to eliminate Aoi when she's performing Magic, and that Aoi appeared to be afraid of the "red death" in this scene. Also being able to time travel is probably part of the privilege of the Fifth. We don't know the true nature of it yet, I said it's limited because Aoi said in VN that Magic, unlike magecrafts, are limited because they are the few exceptions of rules, capable of "one" unthinkable stuff but only that.

[@timusw5967]

But many things can be done with that "one" privilege. The Second is able to time travel because its privilege is to manipulate parallel realities. Some suggests that the Fifth is the "Destruction of all rules" hence Aoi is able to "take off" Suzuki's time but not really time travelling. If it had be time done by Second Magic, Suzuki would've gone back to death once the Magic's effect ended.
