Fate/Apocrypha

Why the hell would goofy Type Moon names be an indication of what Nasu thinks of Western society??

If anything, his insistence in the early days of Fate in focusing on Western heroes would indicate he enjoys Western society... even if he has no idea what actual Western names sound like (which is definitely not unique to him on Japanese media creators).

I probably should have phrased the question as "What image of Western Society does he have in his head?"

In that case, I wonder about Mahoyo because spoilers

I don't see Nasu as a misanthrope nor seriously advocating Gilgamesh position in real life

Can someone tell me how Reisbyfe Striedberg is a real name?

wakarimasen lol

Well at least I think this week's episode is a recap. We can skip this.

...A clip show? Really?

We also had that before right after the defeat Vlad.

So guys, do you think Sieg could find the answer at all in the show? Or it'll be left ambiguous?

Spoiler

He will.

The way this story will be resolved is probably gonna surprise you guys

Because of how stupid it is.

Where'd you find it?

Maybe for you only?

Considering this is Apo & it involves Sieg.

Yeah its gonna be very stupid.

Don't anyone try to argue this, Sieg poisons everything he touches.

No, the ending is stupid no matter who you are. But thank you for assuming it's because I have high standards.

You mean in terms of story development and how it goes or in terms of reception from the characters?

Well, others might not have the same high standards so I don't know if it's officially stupid.

Sieg turns into a dragon, picks up the Greater Grail and flies to another dimension. Jeanne is so in loooove with him that she spends infinite time smacking the wall of the Throne of Heroes so she can chase him for some good old dragon cock.

Both.

Nothing can save Sieg, not even turning into a dragon. This ain't Akame ga kill. Jeanne should really move on & find someone better.

Well, that's just you, he's a base breaking character as the page says, so I may not share what you think at all. For me, he's looking OK so far, nothing special but nothing harmful either.

You are right.

To me he is a boring fuck wasting panel & the fact Jeanne is falling for him purely due to being corrupted by the feelings of a naive high-school girl makes me sad.

I despise bland vanilla protagonists.

Gudako is our only hope for this bland vanilla protag hell...at least when it comes to Fate and TM.

Talking about post-Shirou tho'.

? Shirou wasn't bland.

That's too much hoping. Fate Apocrypha isn't Learning With Manga after all. Best you can hope is a new Carnival Phantasm-esque show based on LWM with Gudako as protag. And hope she'll make fun of Sieg along the way.

If I'm being honest, while I will see through the anime to the end, I'm more interested in seeing how Atalanta would end. I know she won't end well. I just wanna know how.

@Luigisan: Maybe I've been too much being afflicted with some sort of apathy, but I share the sentiment like you. Sieg is kind of meh, but not too AAAAUUUGHHH inducing to me. Maybe I'm just the kind of guy who's like "THIS SHOULD BE THIS GUY'S STORY"... I mean, that's what Fanfics are for, right?

No Gudako will be just like the OVA version of Gudao, and if you knew anything you'd know Gudao is just as weird in the Riyo comics he's just not a depraved soulless monster like Gudako is and just wants Astolfo very badly.

Feels like we spend way too much time on Shakespeare antics this episode.

Also, got me wondering - doesn't Joan also have Command Seals? Can't she just order the Servants of the Red to move aside?
