And fakers too!
Oh, you probably are aware that the anime version of Fate/Zero is now live. I've seen the first episode.
Quick synopsis.
Good stuff: better than the other Fate animes. Fills in a lot of holes between this and FSN. Also, I like Waver; I wanna see more of him. The artistry is beautiful . . .
Bad stuff: . . . but there's not a lot of actual motion in the animation. Oh, and guess what the first episode of FZ consists mostly of? Different groups of people talking . . . and talking . . . and talking . . . and talking . . . and talking . . . and . . . if this really is an accurate translation of the novels, I must say, Gen Urobuchi did a really good job imitating the one thing I dislike most about FSN. Oh joy.
Oh yeah, remember how serious Fate fans have disowned the earlier Fate animes much like how everyone has disowned the Tsukihime anime? Well guess what? We did that for a good reason! Even if you seen the FSN animes, it'll do you no good for FZ. If you haven't played the VN, yer gonna be lost, man. It's luck that I even know as much as I do............But FZ is still better than Ordinary Life, that's for damn sure. I haven't lost interest in it, yet. There is one thing I do wanna learn, which I hopefully will. When I first started writing about FSN, I described Ilya as being, and I quote, "The most evil cute girl ever." Will FZ explain why she was like that in FSN? Here's hoping.
Oh yeah, since I seem to be watching more fansubbed anime lately, sometime tomorrow, I'll give you my impressions of the anime version of Carnival Phantasm.

.........Seeing as how I can't move on to my new empire just yet. I thought I'd retire this blogspot by now. I guess that's just gonna have to wait.
