It is good and has a very good dub.
Thanks for the advice.
Does Scáthach show up in any anime? She seems pretty cool.
Not yet but she might make an appearance in the Solomon arc that's coming eventually.
Personally I want to see Edmond Dantes
I did not watch it so I may be mistaken, but as far as i know its not an adaptation of Fate / Extra game, but a kinda sorta sequel to one of it's endings.
So yeah, probably a bad idea to watch it if you don't know too much about the franchise. I have no idea, why they even made this series instead of some proper adaptation of the main story.
and then it turned out to be an incomprehensible alternate-timeline post-bad-end story that even people who played the original game had trouble with
IIRC it was Nasu’s first time writing directly for TV and boy does it show

I really liked this show, especially the second season.

Eh, Zero was the one that began with 12 minutes of two dudes walking in a circle, seemingly just straight up emptying out the exposition reserves, but the thing to know about Fate, is that there is always fucking more exposition. I personally wasn't a fan of any of UFOTable's adaptations of the Fate stuff. They make things with gorgeous screenshots (and literally everything is covered in a haze of bloom). I lack the education in film analysis to adequately explain why their stuff rubs me so much the wrong way, but I think it's because there's such a harsh divide between all the random expositional dumps and dudes clutching their fists going "I have to be super, duper serious about this" and then the action scenes that are all flashing colors and bright lights that both start and end at almost total random, often with another long infodump to explain what happened. It's like an abridged Dragonball fight, where they don't keep cutting to the peanut gallery to have someone tell the audience how much power level everyone has... except that they do that all the fucking time too. And it's even worse when it's the characters themselves constantly having timeouts to do it.
Like if you take a UBW fight scene, the parts where it's actually animated are pretty spectucular, but it keeps stopping so they can have chit chats, until it just sort of arbitrarily stops and everyone goes home with nothing resolved. That keeps happening over and over, until the predetermined plot point where someone simply keels over at the end of the scene, after another pause to explain something else. Compare that kind of action scene to one where the script, action, sound direction, and pacing of the scene are all complementing each other and I will take the latter over the former every time. I think that it's the direction and writing, which is super sad to me because I love early UFOTable stuff. They were a studio that took a trashy, generic harem show about twins, and turned it into a coming of age action show about a detective in a polyamorous relationship fighting a cult of squid worshippers.
Welcome new reader.
'Hole up a-minute. Sasaki Kojiro was a real person born in the Fukui prefecture. I think his remains are interred in Iwakuni. So, is that the fiction of the Fate universe that he wasn't real, or does the author make that claim?
Fate universe, just like how King Arthur was actually a woman the entire time who just concealed that to be a King.
Funny enough, Da Vinci is agender in Fate. They look like how they do because that's how they envision beauty in general. During Valentine's events in Grand Order they can both give and receive chocolate, despite the former being limited to women and the latter men.
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
any time we put on the Tower of God theme, either by the show itself or through a challenge much like "icing" someone, we have to drop what we're doing and
a) assume a good, back-straight arms-extended shoulder-width push-up position and hold it through the intro
b) when the house bass and heavy drums kick in, begin doing push-ups to the beat (preferably with as good of technique as possible rather than accurate rhythm, if you have to choose one)
c) when the drums drop out into the quiet bridge again, resume aforementioned push-up position
d) when drums/bass hit again for the last ~quarter of the theme, resume push-ups
the real burn sets in during the bridge because it turns out that's more like a plank than a rest break

That’s true, but afaik there are birth and death records associated with Sasaki. What’s held in question are the details about his duel with Musashi (with some sources disputing it even happened). That concept of the legend begetting a real figure is pretty neat though.
Surprise, a Servant qualifies, and it becomes his third Noble Phantasm. His first is Enfer Chateau d'If, which embodies his escape from the legendary prison by accelerating him so fast he's able to escape any confines, including time and space, creating afterimages that attack as one. His second is Attendre Esperer, which can revive him or another person from even the brink of death with a boost to all parameters through being infused with the hope he embodied in the depths of despair while imprisoned.

I can’t really vouch for it because it kinda just sat as one of my open tabs forever and I never listened to it but THIS TIME, this time it will be different.

Miami Mike you son of a bitch
Was it with a yaoi paddle?
And I have no fucking regrets.
hence why computers being able to directly process and transfer video was why fansubs simply exploded in popularity and availability ca. 2003-2006
If you don't have the time for a podcast episode, they also did a comprehensive article about "Miami Mike" for Anime News Network.

Really, it's so common it's like... "What, he had a second gun?" type of a deal.

I've still enjoyed it though, and that might be because I went in expecting the... low points, and was prepared to have to just sigh and murmur "fucking anime" under my breath at them.
That said, there's a lot of really great things about this season that I've enjoyed a lot, so while I am not going to give it a pass on some of the bad stuff, I am still glad I watched it.
