Type-Moon: Fate/stay night, Tsukihime, and Kara no Kyoukai discussion

Listening to the Case Files OST and Heartless' theme is actually super good; making a dark mix of Waver's theme plus evoking Iskandar's themes from Zero to exemplify him as the Evil Counterpart

Heaven's Feel gave me the impression that Kajiura was increasingly becoming old hat for TM anime so this was a nice surprise

x3 I feel the first season of F/Z was better than the second, and Initium Iter should be ranked above Learning and Prillya.

Other than that, I find the rankings fair.

x2 Look, it's not my fault your palate is defective.

I agree with everything on that list.

Is it fair to rate Babylonia when it hasn't aired yet?

It's not the whole of Babylonia, just the zeroth episode.

It's like how UBW: Prologue is rated separately from it first and second seasons.

And much as I love the thing, I have to agree with the low-ish ranking: it's an introdutory episide that requires you to have played through the entire first arc for you to truly appreciate it in full.

It's a treat, but it actually does what it is supposed to be its primary job pretty terribly.

Babylonia PV, will start airing on October 5th.

OP is called Phantom Joke by Unison Square Garden

Flying plancha or bust.

From preview images for Strange Fake's manga, we finally get to see Alcides' face. Additional teaser images.

Subbed second trailer for Babylonia:

Ahh, to have my eardrums blessed by Tomokazu Seki's voice once again!

Damn, now I want to re-read the story.

New Babylonia PV, featuring the ED song.

You know, nothing shows their confidence in their brand recognition, than the fact that they are just going straight to adapting the second to last singularity.

It's less that and more that Camelot and Babylonia are the only singularities people actually give a damn about. The only reason this series even exists is because they did a survey to see what singularity people would be most interested in seeing adapted and in what format.

Hence why Babylonia is a series, and Camelot is a movie. And why all of the other singularities get condensed in a 20 minute prequel to this series in a montage.

Yeah, Camelot-Babylonia-Solomon are the only Singularities really worth adapting cinematically. They just have better quality, stakes, story relevance, and action.

SE.RA.PH is the only Epic of Remnant I feel is in the same boat.

Every Lostbelt is worth a shot on the other hand.

Don't bully poor papa Moriarty his chapter was good too!

Funny that the only worthwhile chapters are the ones that deal primarily with Artoria & Gilgamesh.

Eh, I'd say Camelot is far more about Bedivere than Artoria: she almost never shows up or really does anything.

And be nice, erazor, we still have two EOR to go.

Well...Salem sure as hell is up there in scale, but that's for December.

And yea, Bedivere is the main character of Camelot; there's a reason he's on the banner and not Altria.

And ya, I thought Shinjuku was pretty good as well.

Pretend Agartha doesn't exist.

I get what you guys are saying, but it's still a fact that it's jumping way into the story with total confidence that people will know what's going on and be interested. Your franchise has to be pretty ubiquitous to do something like that.

Regardless Camelot's still has major involvement from ever-popular Artoria in her constantly mentioned hometown for the 1st time & even has a role from well liked Lancelot.

You'd think making at least one dense OVA for each singularity would be an okay investment.

Each chapter tends to work pretty well as a stand alone piece apart from a few. They're rather self contained. There are only a few like Salomon or SE.RA.PH that rely heavily on previous continuity and the latter relies more on Extraverse than FGO.

Also I thought people generally didn't like Salem, though they do like Abby and Lavinia.

You just gotta modify everything to a degree.

Cut out the obvious padding parts & better streamline the story parts.

Then manage the characters, cut out the ones that feel superfluous & unnecessary.

"We're making an FGO anime!"

"Hooray!"

"About Septem!"

"Wait what"

And make a Carnival Phantasm-esque anthology series adapting the events.

@Arha: It varies depending on the fan community. reddit finds SIN to be far better that Beast's Lair does, for instance.
