It's an interesting thing to reconcile, the fact this guys committed quite a fair bit of murder, yet hes unphased by it. Undead emotion tampering or not its difficult to reconcile with just a regular office worker.

Does anyone watch Bleach? I never have.

Just got on Netflix and they made a live action film and the trailer is giving me DnD film vibes.

oh bleach how i remember thee fondly.

Watch Bleach up to the end of the soul society arc. Dont watch past that.

It's not a bad show, just skip the filler stuff, especially the Bount arc, ridiculous and takes way too long. I haven't seen the live action one (I tend not to like those as much as the anime, I don't think I could ever watch the Gintama one without hating it out of principle)

I wasn’t asking if I should watch the series lol. I was informing that Netflix made a movie which trailer I saw gave me DnD film vibes(terrible)

Watching The Dragon Prince now, a Netflix original and it is pretty cool so far at 17 mins in Ep 1.

Unfortunately, i wasn't aware but we have a live action bleach movie.

If my fb feed is any indicator, its being well received.

Mmm, I thought S1 of Kamuy ended in a sort of daft place. Squarehead and the brothel owner was some lulz.

I disagree. It ended without resolution in that middle finger "go buy the manga" sort of way. So I'm happy to hear S2 is coming because unresolved stories in anime nark me off bigtime.

BK - I'd watch FSN:UBW first and then Zero. Eye am za bown uf ma suwad is the go-to for Fate.

Oh it’s Fate Stay Night UBW.

I believe I’m supposed to go: Zero, Stay Night, Apocrypha, Extra Last Encore.

Yeah??!

Only these 4 shows up from what I can tell/see/find.

The Stay Night naming is messed up and confusing. Technically there should be:

(1) Fate/Stay Night
Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (often (2) shortened to just Fate Unlimited Blade Works)
(3) Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel

These are the different "routes" of the original visual novel and they all have anime adaptations. Several of them have *multiple* anime adaptations so even more confusing.

Ignore (1) and (3), you want Unlimited Blade Works. Of the UBW adaptations, you want the 26-episode TV series from 2014.


Don't worry about the order, it really doesn't matter. You're on Zero now, so stick with that. When you're done Zero you'll have a pretty good understanding of the grail war premise and can watch anything then.

UBW has some continuity with Zero, so might as well watch that next, but it doesn't really matter. Apocryphal, Last Encore, Extra, etc are all their own not-the-same-canon-or-characters spinoffs.

[D'rek]

Ya Zero is a thrill. Even the moron characters are super entertaining morons.

On Ep 7. That kid and Caster(Blue Beard) are some made for each other twisted fucks!!!

My favorite servant so far is easily Iskar(King of Conquers, Rider) for realeeoh!! He has been making me lol since shortly after being summoned finger flicking his kid master around. He just got a shirt in the mail and the kid said he needed pants before he could go out which led to a bargain that the kid would order/buy him a pair of pants if he defeats any servant. Fucking GOLD!

hes Great. Alexanders one of my fav adaptation from fate. Kinda glad they toned down the narcism the real life alexander had.

[Maark Abbott]

Only inferior servants don't padoru.

JoJo Part 5 confirmed at 39 episodes. Wew. That's some g I r t h.

[Dolmen 2.0]

God I love Cowboy Bebop.


Absolutely believable every damn time.

[Maark Abbott]

Finished up a few this week (unsurprisingly). There are a few like Overlord and Hanebado that I'm not 100% are finished yet.

Harukana Receive ending was pretty predictable. It has a nice character growth theme though. And swimsuits.

Tonegawa ending was kind of weak. It just ended abruptly. No tie-in to Kaiji (which I've picked up, out of interest).

Anglmois kind of went in the direction I expected, but that last episode was dark as all heck.

Asobi Asobase continued to shitpost until the very end.

If I recall, Angels of Edge has 18 eps so that isn't yet over.

If AoT has ended here, what an absolute fucking copout.

S2 Ep 2

Holy shit THIS IS LEGIT!!

HOLD UP.

Season 2? woooboy ok I get the idea you consider Fate Zero as Season 1, that makes sense, but Season 2 in the Fate series is its own screwed up situation.

Here's a graph that tries to explain it:



Basicly fate has alternate versions of the same situation that has spinoffs of spinoffs. I try to stick to the Unlimited Blade Work(UBW) canon as much as possible but I have yet to figure out how Apocrypha and Grand Order fit into things.

In short Heavens Feel and Stay Night are less popular "Season twos" and things get complicated from there...


That said Netflix really stepped up on the Anime front.
