MediaConsumesMe

I stumbled on this website a few weeks back? 

Fate/Grand Carnival Official USA Website (fate-go.us)

Right now it just got some info on the cast and crew, characters and episodes. It doesn't seem to have had an updates since it first went public. I wonder why Fate Grand Carnival got a English Website? It could indicate it might get a similar treatment to other Fate works owned by Aniplex? Or it could be simply just so English native readers can more easily keep up with the production, episodes and such. Interesting none the less. 

I just finished the Chimera Ant Arc of Hunter X Hunter. Only one left now then I've finished the show. 

I happily admit Hunter X Hunter lived up to all the praise people give it. Chimera Ant arc was amazing. By the end I wasn't even on the Human side only, I was sort of routing for everyone paradoxically. Sort of like when Fate Zero was towards the end I could pick a side between the remaining characters cause I was invested in them all equally

Same thing happened here, I was routing for the Chairman and the King. Pouf and his evil schemes. Pitou and Gon. The ending was touching, and I look forward to seeing how the show wraps everything up in the final twelve episodes. 

It gonna be nice seeing Leorio again. As he's not been round since Yorknew City despite how awesome he is. Through if he'd been in the Chimera Ant arc he might have been eaten.

I have never played any personally but, I think they can be therapeutic for young single men. If you feel embarrassed, just remember that you were made this way for a reason.

 

@MediaConsumesMe I didn't know that the Fate games had actual hentai scenes in them, I've only watched the animes. Now you've made me curious...

Yeah it started out as a Erotic Visual Novel. There isn't much smut in it to be fair, from what I've heard it just a graphic scene or two per route. Think of them like the 'Romance Scenes' you might have got in Mass Effect. Only more lude, I read somewhere one has Saber perform an Oral act on Shirou. Or it might have been Rin.

@MediaConsumesMe & @Ohayotaku Iris is definitely a better fit for the good mother archetype, and also quite beautiful herself - of course, so are all the others mentioned.

 

...

Including this one?

I mean I ment this one more as a joke.

Damn right! Yasuko is a total MILF

Also MediaConsumesMe wouldn't Saber count, she is the "father" of Sir Mordred right

Your waifu face when they aren't ranked in a list of something they relate to.
 

Artoria didn't mother Sir Mordred, Morgan La Fea, Artoria's sister did. Artoria would there for be Mordred's 'father'. This family tree sure is messed up. 

Morgan's only been seen briefly in a flashback in anime form, but she'll likely find herself in the villians role of an anime adaptation soon.

@MediaConsumesMe I would definitely include Irisfield on my list 

 

Fate has so many great characters, anytime you need to find an archetype you can always find one in fate and there never just 'average', there always some of the best 

You know, I sat and tried to think of Anime MILFS for a solid minute and was kind of stumped. I mean I've seen lots of sexy female characters in anime, but do they all count as MILFS. Is it just stacked women who have some motherly instinct or trait? Or do they legit need to be mothers? I went for the second option in the end. So these all are sexy anime mothers I could think of.

First up no thread is complete without a needless Fate plug and another Enizbern, this time going for the tragically doomed Irisfield. 

@MarathonGuy1337 will appreciate Yasuko, from Toradora.

Then Junko, from Madoka Magica, I mean she's more moe but I was running out of characters to choose. 

Finally the Chimera Ant Queen... not the prettiest anime mother, but she was pretty cool.

While Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood may be "Better"....

I hate that some people act like the original should be discarded. The first half of the original series was condensed down into 13 eps in brotherhood and the pacing is off and there are some whole good eps skipped over.

  Reveal hidden contents

Not to mention much more Hughes, and meeting Barry the Chopper when he's human... And finding out why Yoki was so pissed at Ed (And that was one of my fav eps, and it too got skipped completely.)

Just my opinion!

I really want to at some point watch Fullmetal Alchemist's original series. Maybe once I finish Hunter x Hunter that might be my next anime to sit through. 

Welcome to the forum, your a fellow fan of the little known franchise called Fate. It always good to have another one on the forums. Also Overlord, Steins; Gate and Welcome to the NHK are some choice anime titles. 

Me and Marathon finished Trigun. That was not what I expected. Originally it was a full blown comedy, which I mean it was alright. But nothing amazing or ground-breaking. It then around episode 12 got more philosophical, it started asking some interesting questions and introducing this bad ass demon villain dude... and I was like this, this is getting good.

And then it sort of went off a cliff. I guess I was expecting Vash to become a more rounded and mature hero, instead he doubled down as a 'goodie-goodie' even after the events of the final few episodes. Legato and the Priest were awesome characters, but the rest of the cast were very much misses in my opinion. 

Welcome to the forums, I also have a habit of re-watching/replaying things I've already done. For example I watched Monster once, then after I finished it I was so impressed by it I rewatched it again with a friend @MarathonGuy1337, and I'm planning on doing the same thing with Hunter x Hunter. 

I have no idea how many times I've replayed Halo, or New Vegas or Mass Effect.

What anime have you seen and really enjoyed?

I did like Wolf's Rain that someone mentioned.

Wolf's Rain is awesome, I was surprised how good it was and the way I discovered it was its opening randomly playing due to Youtube's Autoplay feature. If that hadn't of happened I'd of likely never heard about Wolf's Rain as it pretty obscure. Hopefully you've seen the OVA that follows on from the show... as those episodes are some of the most depressing and heart-breaking moments in Anime. 

 Just saw this online now, Charlemagne has come to Fate/Grand Order. All I got to go is play my cards right, hoard my summon tickets and quarts and don't loose all I have on Morgan La Fae banner and I might get the great Father of the West. Both my Astolfo's will be so pleased to have there Emperor.

@MediaConsumesMe Dawn of the Deep Soul & Heavens Feel both previously had showings in Ohio (where I live) but were too far for me to drive.

Yeah see if something like that showed up in the south west of England that would be awesome, however I've never seen an anime movie appear down here.

I've not yet seen an anime film in a theatre near me, be cool if something like that happened. But then again I am picky with my anime so I doubt it end up being a title I'd be interested in.

Season 2 starts in July, though I’m not sure how delayed the dubbed version will be (would think HiDive makes it a priority though). I think my memory of it is still fresh enough I won’t need a review, though I think I need one for Overlord IV  (may wind up waiting for that one to finish & binge it to make things easier to follow)

 

 

 

 

Yeah Overlord Season 4 is something I am highly anticipating. Made in Abyss Season 2 is another. Other than that, Goblin Slayer Season 2 is yet released, and then there's Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Star Blazers, but I'm holding out for the dubs of those as I started watching them dubbed way back when and I prefer them over subs... 

Also would love to know when the hell Magia Record season 2 and the 'final' season are gonna get dubbed, if they get dubbed. The first season had a simuldub so I hope a dub get's made. 

Finally there the Solomon movie, to wrap up phase 1 of the Grand Order project. Meaning there likely gonna be a phase 2 - I hope the Götterdämmerung, Atlantis and Avalon are at least adapted; because Sigurd and Napoleon, Odysseus, Super Orion and Jason and finally our Queen Morgan La Fay need to get animated. To be fair most the Lostbelts have some op servants, but I picked those because my person favourites happen to be present. 

However I have a feeling only one of those would be made into an actual series like Bayblonia was, if that is the case Atlantis will likely be the series with Avalon being the 'movies'. As for Gotterdammerung, I feel it and the other lostbelts might either get thrown into being short OVA's like Extra (here's hoping) or one shot films like 'First Order' and 'Lostroom' were. Also doubt we will see a dub of Lostroom. 

I just made it to 108 episodes of Hunter x Hunter. Forty Episodes to go. Also I re-watched Madoka Magica and Rebellion as something else to do. Probably gonna focus now on HxH and then after that might re-watch Made in Abyss. 

I got a slew of feelings, I'm pretty happy cause I just worked out a feature that will yet me watch Fate UBW on the new software I got on my PC. So no subtitles, 1080p is finally something I can enjoy. The rest of my Fate collection was all Blu-ray, but Unlimited Blade Works due to the Hanabee release having locked subtitles on the openings. And they were yellow... why?

So I'm glad I don't have to downgrade to 420p for the sake of being able to turn subtitles off.

However the trouble I've gone to over this is almost laughably absurd, I got the Blu ray - which had locked subs. Had to go out of my way to get an external blu-ray player for my PC, install software (several different ones until I narrowed it down to one that worked and I liked)  on it and then spend all me free time messing around with features because unlike the Made In Abyss, Kill La Kill disc this one was not working as well (menu froze - as to use the playlist feature), all so I can watch the damned anime I brought how I want to watch it.

If anyone at hanabee reads this message - don't lock the subtitles, it annoying and a pain. Madmen doesn't do it, copy them. 

I just finished Psycho Pass the Movie, looked only to see there was a movie trilogy called Sinners of the System. And in the description it said the Blu-ray has english audio, but I was under the impression that film trilogy was only subbed not dubbed? If it dubbed, that be awesome cause I'd love to continue the series a little more as it one of my favourites. 

I got a anime for you... Fate/Stay Night. There are several routes, Stay Night, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven Feels. There's also the spin off Fate Apocrypha which is also has a romantic plot within its core. Beyond Fate there is also Parasyte the Maxim, which as a romantic element in the plot but isn't a major focus. Beyond those I can't think of many action-romance shows I've seen. 

Got a external blu-ray/dvd player for my PC. Set up Leawo as the PC software player. Just so I can enjoy my anime without obnoxious locked subtitles in the openings. If I want to watch Kill la Kill or Made in Abyss without subtitles displayed over all the foreign text and opening/endings that should be my choice. So at least this set up now lets me do that. 

I just finished Kill la Kill, so next is Psycho Pass the Movie, and then I'll try and complete Hunter x Hunter after that - not sure if I'm gonna finish Chimera Ant arc and move directly onto the Chairman Election arc or take a break in between. It a great series but is a massive series so I gotta break it down into more watchable chucks.

Please recommend anime where the characters cannot afford to make mistake. Just one mistake, then you are dead. For example, hunter x hunter, demon slayer, jujutsu kaisen, attack titan. Thank you. 

I've got a few which have a high chance of death for the characters that I've seen;

All the Fate shows. I thing the lowest body count goes to Babylonia - but that still has a high body count of supporting characters compared to other anime. Fate Zero has the highest body count of the series, I think. Not many make it through it, and those that make it through and are better off at the end are even fewer. 

Got to plug Berserk 1997, won't ruin the ending of the show if you've not seen it yet but the term Betrayal gets a whole new meaning. 

Psycho Pass also has a decent body count, and because the characters are well developed and rounded (even the Villain is enjoyable and a guy you might route for by the series climax) it makes the 'deaths' feel really gut punching. 

Death Note also has a very high body count, I will say less important characters who are sort of throw away make up the bulk but some supporting and even main characters get killed off during the shows run so another great high body count show to check out. 

Steins Gate sort of has a high body count... if you count different world line versions of a specific character getting murdered over and over again by the half way point onwards as adding to the body count of the show. 

Finally Madoka Magica for a magical girl show has a pretty respectable body count I wouldn't rank it alongside Berserk, Fate, Psycho Pass or Death Note but I feel it pretty equal to Steins Gate level. 

Also all the aforementioned shows defiantly have the feeling of one mistake equals instant death in a lot of situations. 

Well there's one show I know of which is both Action and Comedy, and that's Gintama. I've not personally seen this one yet, so I can't comment on it however over on Mal it one of the highest rated shows and a lot of people praise it comedy and action so that might be a solid bet.

Puella Magi Madoka Magic was another one that a friend, thinking of you MediaConsumesMe showed me and I didn't really enjoy it either but I think that's probably because I don't really care for Magical Girls 

Sorry Madoka fans!

I'm not crying, it just raining inside.
