    I like what it's about, I like reading fanfiction of it but I just can't get hooked on watching it.
    I don't think it's bad but something...
    I watched Fate Stay/night when it came out but couldn't bother with second season, then I tried Fate Zero(about half) and Heaven's Feel(while eating ofc, no complaints but just didn't feel like continuing when finished with food).
    Anyone else feels the same, maybe I'm depressed so not enjoying it as I could?

    You could always try reading/playing the VN. It is regarded as one of the best ever.

    Maybe the delivery isn't your style? I like Fate, but there are plenty of great works that fell in the pretty good to decent category for me (original Star Wars trilogy, David Lynch's Dune). I would move onto something else, especially with the range of entertainment these days.

    Fate's popularity is the biggest mystery to me.

    I watched Fate/Stay Night but wasn't impressed in the slightest.

    Then I've tried WN. It was the most frustrating WN I've ever played. Stay Night's plot is just so-so, but what's the most annoying is that you always have to make the most autistic suicidal choices in it. If you don't act retarded then it's a bad end.

    When ur summon is loosing the battle cause it has to protect you, you often have a choice to retreat a bit so that it could concentrate on battle or rush headfirst right at the overpowered boss! Well, you now know how to act!

    Unlimited blade works arc was actually pretty good in WN and I liked it.

    But right after it is going heaven's feel that shows that third heroine is actually an incestuous living onahole, who is raped daily and is begging for more? What a fcking great plot twist. Then other shit keeps happening everywhere and you have to keep up with all that burden. Definitely not my cup of tea, so I've dropped it after skipping a bit and never touched fate again.

    Well I do find it silly how they play out the grail war. They start scouting, then there is a bunch of nothing, then there is a skirmish from which everyone retreats...
    I'm assuming VN is erotic and how Fate started. To be fair, Sakura is Rin's sister, not Shinji's so it's not incest and she's been trained and addicted to sex with hentai worms as a child. I don't know when that sick fuck started "training" her but she was 6 when she got traded.

    Sorry for disturbing you :blobpeek:
    I find it more disturbing coz it's an anime, if it was just a hentai then you don't get attached.

    So this is what I'm doing 10min before New Year :cry:

    Hentai scenes were rare in WN + art's quality is kinda low, though it's understandable considering that it's a prehistoric WN. Still it doesn't explain its popularity. It was more of the other way around for me like 'wtf is wrong with these ugly fcks? I need to watch these monkeys mating now?'

    Fate grand order has much better art and character designs, so it's no surprise that you can find FGO fan arts everywhere, but Fate franchise was popular since the times of stay night's WN.

    A mystery indeed.

    I suspected that it's light on the erotic content. It's a Japanese thing? I forgot what the Trash Taste guys said why they do 8h long porn movies but I'm sure it was a good joke.
    I guess the concept of summoning real heroes is cool, and ofc most guys like that most of those heroes are gender bent. I think they don't do a bad job on pseudo mythology.

    Concept was good but not its execution. I mean lots of inexplicable illogical things were happening off-screen. Overpowered main villain of one arc can die like a nameless extra somewhere in a ditch without achieving anything at all.

    One arc some character is strong in the next he is trash.

    And here you are running around like a suicidal retarded beta cuck with 0 skills and burdening ur own summon in the midst of all this mess. Plot power-ups are forced and powers of friendship and sacrifice are as strong as ever.

    Kinda disgusting

    You can't really relate to Shirou, the cursed fire ate a bit of his soul, that's why he is suicidal to help others.

    From the timing of this thread... could it be you're also reading The Traveling Merchant and Wandering Mage and getting frustrated at all the references you don't get because we never got the that part of the series?

    Oh fellow reader, salute.
    Have you noticed me in the comments? I'm famous *cough* I mean I'm a top commenter called ZhaWarudo *cough* I mean I participate!

    Well irish had me thinking on Fate and I'm glad he's finally travelling there, coz I don't know shit about Battletech and it was getting tiresome. I'm not frustrated though, I have enough knowledge trough fanfics and I check wiki when I don't know.
    True reason for this thread is I didn't know what to watch while eating...and I didn't feel like finishing Heaven's Feel 3
    (I ended up watching a bit of Cobra Kai s4 which is a soap opera as expected...).
    I don't want to start Expanse coz I'll fucking binge it.

    I recommend you these Fate fics

    Wheezes never went near the VNs
    Though I did feel the anime series fate stay night was bit awkward probably cuz young innocent me didn’t realize the sexual implications of characters sleeping together... I was just like ok move on plz back to magic fight thanks lol

    Like the characters are fun to draw. My friend plays the mobile game fate grand order though so I get tidbits about it from him but apparently the English version is behind like a year so waiting for content to be translated sucks.

    I only enjoy animes based on route 1 - Fate and 2 - Unlimited Blade Works created by Deen. The first fate/stay night anime is a bit half-baked because they stuff the storyline of other routes in it, but overall, it's still a good anime.

    About the other fate titles, well, Ufotable makes characters talk too much and lacks action scenes; also reading tons of subtitles costs a lot of my sanity, I rather read the novel/VN instead of watching it.

    I remember that fans used to discuss useless H-scenes in the VN PC version because it made Shirou ooc; but back then, otaku wouldn't buy VN if they weren't eroge, so we have eroge fate/stay night, lol.

    Did you know Japanese otakus are single minded, they buy and/read/watch/play one thing and one thing only. Like some guy on TT video spent 6000$ on Kazuya Kirito figurines. So nope no cool various figurines, just one beta character from a mid anime.

    Fate/ series is shit.
    Yes, I know bold and triggering words, but I am not trolling as it is the truth.

    Heck the best part about Genshin Impact was the fact that it resulted in reduction of fate/garbage fanarts.
