Clicked on the essentials video, looked at the side, noticed a Karna vs Cardboard link & then something even more particular that lead me to this weird thought.

Like for some reason I am oddly amused that apparently none of the Apo fights are over a million views.

What's so odd about that, most fights don't reach one million.

[up] Like I said it’s just an odd feeling.

I guess cause some of the UBW & Zero fights have over a million views.

looks at GO thread

Less odd feeling and more getting worked up about Apocrypha's studio and lettin it seep in this thread. When people are angry, they keep prodding themselves to stay angry - basic psychology trivia.

Nah it’s not that.

Just happen to notice the video for the fight & felt my dislike of Sieg welling up again.

Plus I saw the fight again & my God that whole thing was just visual noise exactly like I remembered, I felt like I was gonna get a fucking seizure. I feel even worse than when I watched it the first time really.

Hey if ya wanna watch it go for it.

Just fair warning its one of the more middling shows in the franchise.

Some good characters here & there but the story's not much to talk about.

His point is that people bitch too much about apocrypha.

I don't want to intrude on anyone's rights to bitch about things - dear lord, I would only set up myself to be a hypocrate. But there is a point where things get old and bouncing between threads with same old bile looks... inelegant.

The essentials of Fate trailer reminded me that Apocrypha is one of the few works where the grail is explicitly not tainted

So the conflict between Amakusa and Sieg on paper has potential because the latter is one of the only Fate protags who doesn't actually have a desire for the Grail despite the fact that he could actually get whatever he wants.

Sieg decides the Grail is bad because the Holy Grail War is the world he is essentially born into and subsequently he rejects the idea that this wish is even worth bothering with, and there's an interesting plot thread where the ideal human that Amakusa wishes to create rejects Amakusa's vision of utopia

shame Higashide is a haaaaaacccckkk

Damn that’s so deep bro

Muh Christian parallels between those two Saints wasted

Not shittalking here, Apocrypha is basically great ideas sometimes and not always the most well executed

I guess to return to Last Encore, I am disappointed with the finale since it just doesn't have a twist to it. Everything just plays out awfully straight without any kind of new revelation outside of maybe hearing "over count 1999" term being used outside of Notes.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

Apo introduced Mordred so it's okay on that front. Still couldn't finish watching it though.

Better than Scat.

I'll call her Skadi. It feels degrading to call her Scat just cause Scat is the queen.

"Skadi" is technically the proper name since she's body-jacking Scathach.

I think.

A cruel, sick joke is still a joke, and sometimes all you can do is laugh.

The ones relating to ice are fine. But the Christmas Cake because hur hue ice and snow theme is going to far. She married Freyas dad after all even if she wanted that hunk Baldr. Still better than Scat.

[up][up][up] Its seems like another scenario like Ishtar-Rin; Scat was compatible with enough with Skadi to be used as a container for her and their personalities kind of merged together.

So, I was at the mall today and saw a store that was selling some sick Saber merch. Then I saw it was FGO and that it had romanized her name as Altria. Goddammit, Type-Moon.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

huh XSEED is credited in the Essentials of Fate trailer but neither Aksys nor any other company got any credit for exporting the media outside of Japan

can't decide whether Marvelous is just more considerate in crediting its international branches or it's a Stealth Insult by leaving them out

I guess on the Essentials video, each of the instalment has a certain central theme to it listed:

  • F/SN is story of carrying on one's conviction
  • F/Z is story of questioning the meaning of justice
  • F/E is story of searching for one's self
  • F/A is story of praying towards salvation
  • F/GO is story of taking back the future
Also bunch of translated character titles.

PS: I sort of really like the tagline for the series as a whole.

Just for sake of completion, this is the Servant who appeared in Twice's flashback. Unfortunately I can't really get who it might be, if it is meant to be anyone in particular.
