Fate Strange Fake Whispers of Dawn, it got delayed. Now we at least know roughly it been pushed back to summer 2023. 

Also six minutes of animation - so we technically got something. 

I'm content, hopefully it don't get delayed again. Knock on wood

Sorry for the very medical and boring topic, but I have a feeling a few people on here will be way more knowledgeable than me on the topic. Can wigs cause hair-lose? I've had this wig for about four months, and it not really been a problem till about maybe a week ago when I noticed my hair was thinning. It not patchy, or any bald spots, but its clearly less full than it use to be. I've also been dropping weight for a solid couple months and that can also cause hair loss in some people. So I'm not sure if it one thing or the other.

Been delayed sadly, but hopefully will be worth the wait

I seen the news,

I'm sad it been delayed but I'd rather they get it right with delays than rush out something subpar. 

Have a friend, he watched Pokemon as a kid and so I decided to share with him some anime I'd been recently watching. In the end he sat down and watched Steins;Gate and he enjoyed it, we then watched Attack on Titan together and are currently chugging through Death Note at a snail's pace thanks to work commitments. I want to show him Fate/Zero but that'll have to wait till next year I reckon. 

Welcome to the Forums as the resident Fate fan, I've got only one recommendation - it's a slice of life, it dose have cute girls doing cute things. 

God rewatchable shows, it's not necessarily the same as shows I think are really, really good. For example Monster and Hunter x Hunter are great, but I would be hard pressed to call them very re-watchable.

So, the shows I think are rewatchable are;

Fate. Any of them really. 

I'm a big fan of Fate. Big surprise to everyone on here, I know. 

Psycho Pass is also a very rewatchable show.

And it makes me feel smarter each time I watch it. 

Madoka Magica is another show I think is again really re-watchable. 

It such a one-of-a-kind show, and you always can see new bits of symbolism or hidden meaning in the choices made. 

Finally Steins;Gate is just so much fun to watch.

The pacing of the show. Then it gets a second wind at the halfway point with its tonal shift. A great series. 

Fate/Apocrypha. Episode 17, when it turned out Rider of Black wasn't a girl. I was bamboozled, I was shocked, I was confused.

Another one would be the ending of Berserk 1997. I went in blind, and the final episode was a complete gut punch. Didn't see it coming. 

Finally, it would have to be Wolfs Rain. I had no idea what the anime was about, the opening led me to believe it was a werewolf anime set in New York. I was so off. However, the final OVA was another turn I wasn't expecting, then again, I do like darker anime such as Evangelion, Monster, Pyscho Pass, Ergo Proxy and Madoka Magica. So, it actually propelled Wolfs Rain into one of my favourite series. Not top ten but its up thier. 

The Death Note re-watch has died. I've already watched it three times, but at this point the buddy I was showing it two has managed to make it to episode 8 out of 37 in two months. We did a lot better on the Attack on Titan watch. 

So, I'm probably going to continue with Yu Yu Hakusho and finish off the dark tournament arc and once I get through that I might do a re-watch of Fate Unlimited Blade Works (the series) to build the hype for December 31st and the release of Strange Fake. 

Still have no clue which site that special is streaming on.

I'm sure they'll yet us all know at some point. 

A collection of the greatest Fate ships of all time. 

Artoria x Archer

Ishtar x Sengo Muramasa

Enkidu x Gilgamesh

Achilles x Atlanta 

#

Kitritsugu Emyia x Irisviel von Einzbern 

Richard 'The Lion Heart' x Ayaka Sajyou

Mash x Ritsuka

Nero x Hakuno

Ruler x Sieg

Jason x Medea

Astolfo x Charlemagne 

I've only really watched anime dubbed, and I bet some of my picks might get a few people a hollering, but I liked all these anime in terms of the voice acting and some have some overlapping voice actors which is cool to see (or hear). 

Fate (all of them especially Zero, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven Feel)
Psycho Pass
Steins;Gate
Ergo Proxy
Wolfs Rain
Monster
Madoka Magica
Hunter x Hunter
Yu Yu Hakusho
Spy x Family
Code Geass
Made In Abyss
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue Thesis 
Gurren Lagann 
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Berserk
Baccanno!

if i  don't fall a sleep

That is some schedule, holy crap. I never plan out what I'm watching in such detail. 

Currently I've made it to the semi-finals of the Dark Tournament Arc of Yu Yu Hakusho, watched the first episode of Spy x Family part 2 and will at some point continue the re-watch of Death Note. 

I've been watching/rewatching anime with friends. The first was Attack on Titan season 1 (none of us had seen that show) suggested by a friend who first and only foray into anime was Pokémon, my brother picked Death Note as his once we finished Attack on Titan... all so I can then pick Fate/Zero after that. 

I want to get them all through as much Fate as possible before the December premier of Fate/Strange Fake. If I can get them through Zero and Unlimited Blade Works at this point it'll be a small miracle.

@MediaConsumesMe

but I can prove it with science!

Using science to justify the matters of the heart. This is why 'Rin' fans never understand the full scoop of appreciation, respect and admiration we, based Saber worshippers, display. 

Also, as counter evidence I offer this. None other than the King of Heroes deemed Saber to be so beautiful that she belonged with him as one of his treasures. 

Gilgamesh > Science

Therefore, Saber is best girl.

Only way we could have celebrated Shirou Day 

Honestly though not bad even if it ran though the plot of UBW at Mach speed.

Plus it's Rin route and Rin is best girl.

So close, but we all know Saber is best girl. For she is the King of Knights and the defender of Britian. 

And is also precious. 

I just watched Fate Stay Night - Unlimited Blade Works. The movie version. It a little rushed, and the pacing is all over the place but all I can say is. 

I love swords. 

Wolf's Rain ending, end of Madoka Magica Rebellion and the end of the Chimera Ant arc. Also Spy X Family made me cry laughing. 

Shirou Day Approaches, if you don't know what the day is, it basically a celebration of Shirou Emyia from Fate. Why? Something to do with Fate VN fans on Twitter of all places.

So, what are your plans coming the next annual Shirou day? Did you even know it existed until just now? 

For me, my original plan was to sit a couple buddies through Fate Unlimited Blade Works so they could love swords as much as Shirou. But as we've yet to even make it through Death Note, that idea has sank like Emyia dreams of becoming a hero of justice. 

So now my new plan is to watch Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works - the movie from 2010.

Right now I'm rewatching Ergo Proxy because it's been so long since I've seen it, I've actually forgot what it's about. Now I remember why I buy DVD/blu-ray sets after watching new anime. lol

Ergo Proxy, been about a year and a bit since I first sat through it. It one of those atmospheric-philosophical anime shows. 

I'm back on track on my first watch of Yu Yu Hakusho. I'd got distracted due to re-watch of Fate/Apocrypha, Parasyte and then got lost in a sea of anime others were showing me.

But tonight I had some time to work out were I was and progress through the show some more. 

So I was able to finish the Saint Beast sub arc and move onto the introduction of the Toguro brothers and make it to the dark tournament. 

I've heard nothing but good stuff of the dark tournament arc, the previous Toguro episodes of the ghost detective arc were really, really good. So if it keeps up this is looking like a great series. 

I just watched Sunny Days... Shirou is one lucky motherfucker he ends up with both Rin and Saber in this alternate ending to Unlimited Blade Works. Honestly, I'm not sure if I prefer this ending. Saber gets to remain with Shirou, but the other ending, 
 

So, spoiler out of the way for UBW, I think both endings are really solid, Sunny Days is a more lighthearted and happy ending and the actual ending of UBW is a little more open to interpretation and also slightly more thematically matching to the overall show. 

I'd say Samauri Champloo, Space Dandy, Baccano!, Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill for some stylish anime recommendations. Samauri Champloo and Space Dandy are both directed by Shinichiro Watanabe like Cowboy Beebop. Space Dandy is kind of a platinum disco - pulp fiction science fiction setting, and Samuari Champloo is Samurai and street rapping. So different to Bebop but similar. Gurren Lagann is a studio trigger show, before there was a studio trigger, and Kill la Kill is basically the same as Gurren Lagan. So very fluid animation flow in those shows. Baccano! is rich in a gangster prohibition era setting and its story is non-sequential story. It also got a very cool soundtrack and opening. 

So, I finished Attack on Titan the other day with Marathon Guy. I thought it was good, but some animation and designs of the titans was really bad. Like some of the fights were top tier. I also finished Case Study of Vanitas. So, I'm now focused on three anime, the first I started yesterday Spy x Family. It been on my radar, a lot of people on here talk about it, must say the first episode got me to laugh which is rare as often I don't find anime that funny. Beyond Spy x Family, I'm going to start watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes Collison and Magia Record Eve of the Awakening next. 

I'm also likely going to do another watch of Death Note, cause a friend wants to watch it.

I just recently queued this up.  Only seen the first 2 eps so far tho.

Won't be disappointed I don't think, it is a real thinking man's show - like Monster, Evangelion and Psycho Pass

Finally!!!! I’m so hype!!

Yeah, with the servants in this war, it going to be a serious battle royal. I don't know where the premier for foreign audiences is going to be, I'm going to assume it'll be hosted somewhere. I'm not sure what Aniplex prefers to put there shows onto. Somewhere on Crunchyroll, such as Babylonia so it might be through them. 

I have messed around with some software and an external drive but currently it has a slight stutter on any moving shot. 

If I could fix that then I'd be set, but I've fiddled with it several times and all it settings and can't work out what is causing the issue.

Do they have to STAY dead?

It not entirely necessary for a character to have to permanently remained dead. For example, Fate has character's die during the different wars and also timelines. So, as a hypothetical Fate/Zero say Lancer dies. He can be resummoned by another master for another war, however only the heroic spirts can be 'resummoned' as they are already dead having died in the lives as heroes. The masters are not so fortunate.
