Fate Stay Night 15, UTAWARERUMONO ONE AND TWO





Fate Stay Night 15
Ahahaha, Allan called me to tell me I'm a perv, but he DID admit he thought it was hot!
"WAS THIS A HENTAI GAME KEVIN? GODAMNIT WAS IT?"
Anyway new opening, song is pretty mediocre, but plenty of goodies in the animation, probably just to appease the fans, as it shows Archer and Shirou fighting, which is from path two, which is DEFINITELY not happening cause well...Archer died!
Though Allan did say it's pretty possible for him to fight him in his mind or something like that now.
I guess they could do it that way.

Anyway, I, and probably tens of thousands of JP and USA otakus were wondering at the beginning of this episode...how are they going to do THAT scene?
I guess even though Fate Stay Night 15 was relatively tame, it was sort of a, "Shit, there's obviously something in this equation here that I'm missing."
The CG dragon was fucking hilarious, where the fuck did that come from?
Anyway yes, big spoiler two was basically...MANA TRANSFER EQUAL SECKS.
Come on, don't tell me it didn't occur to you.
I was sort of puzzled how they'd pull it off, since it's a primetime show.
Well, this is how, with a CG dragon.
Hardeharhar.
Anyways, looking forward to next episode, as Shirou will finally be upgraded from useless to "Stupidly overpowered Type Moon character™."
About time, too.
One thing nagging me, is everyone forgetting how to count?
Archer killed Berserker six times in the game, five times in the anime, Rin does kill him once, but then he has...seven lives left?
Does not add up to twelve no matter how you slice it.











Utawareru Mono 1 and 2
I feel sort of guilty for waiting to watch this one, I mean hell, the time I devoted to this game was enormous.
But yeah I waited for a couple reviews before getting it myself, cause honestly, how CRUSHED would I be if it sucked?
(Case in point, Disgaea anime is reportedly SHIT. That just breaks my heart.)
Well anyway, unless you've been blind, you might have noticed the entire style of my blog is in this bamboo with brown coloring layout, and this cute girl with wacky ears as my icon.
That, my friends, is Utawareru Mono, a Japanese tactics game where your main character is a guy with amnesia who has a mask stuck to his face and attacks with the fan of the gods. (Ok yes my first thought was...why a godamn fan? You might as well slap them for 1 damage!)
It fucking rocks, and honestly, the anime is looking very good.
For one thing it's superbly PRETTY.
The opening animation is gorgeous, the opening fighting is on par with the Bleach opening's fights.
Also, NO BRANCHING PATHS IN THE GAME.
This means no half-assed combination of plot lines, no messed up inequality for characters, it means they can follow the story pretty much to the letter, and come out with a good to awesome show.
Finally, ERURUU SQUEAK!!!


By the way, pretty much every supporting character you see you get as a party member in game...ah it's nice to see old faces again.
I highly recommend this one.
