What is /a/'s opinion on this?

Good

>>155891294
I respect your opinion but your opinion is wrong.

>>155891272
Confusing as fuck if you're not familiar with the lore from the Visual Novel. I started with this.

Better than Fate and UBW

>>155891272
You missed out not watching this with /a/. This was probably the best non-SoL show to watch with /a/ as it aired since Madoka. Also >>155891424 is correct, it is better to read the VN and then watch the anime.

Either the only worthwhile instalment or the black sheep of the franchise. If you liked it it's almost sure you will find everything else unsatisfying. If you like the other installments chances are you won't like Fate/Zero.

>>155891272
Only good part of fate desu

>>155891272
Only good adaptation of Fate and probably the only one that ever will be.

>>155891587
This.

>>155891587
But most fans of the franchise like Zero, they just hate Zerofags.

>>155892163
Funny, I don't see them anywhere. Zero either gets high praise or gets shitted on.

>>155891587
I really liked both. I read the VN's and watched Zero and I didn't really find either of them unsatisfying.
They're different stories with different themes and characters that share the same universe, people can't seem to reconcile with that.

"Literally destroyed everything FSN as built on. Hiring a hack writer is a mistake."

-Nasu

I don't want to watch the anime, how do I get into the VN?

>>155894695
Don't. It's a waste of more than 60 hours. It just repeats itself, over and over. More repetition than a normal human brain should be capable of accepting.

Bretty good.
As a story, FSN is better.
As an anime, I'd put F/Z and ufotable's UBW on the same level.

>>155894695
You get into the VN by downloading and then proceeding to read the VN

>>155891272
The best iteration of Fate. The material was just handled way better in this.

>>155894695
I should mention this is for the first fate game as I haven't watched or played any of them.

>>155894823
I'm inherently distrustful of advice dispensed via youtube, maybe that's just me

>>155891543
>>155891272
It is perfectly fine to watch zero then ubw and skip the manga or light novels

F/SN is fucking boring but F/Z is a fun ride.

Reminder that Kayneth did absolutely nothing wrong.

>>155891272
See how Urobuchi wrecked my waifu Saber with his shitty writing.

The VN is a masterpiece.

>No Gil chat with Angry MainGuy
>No conclusion to Sakura arc

Come on man.

>>155894945
Saber was wrecked long before that. And kept getting wrecked afterwards.

Chaos, my lovely Neco - when are we going to get another Melty Blood?

One of the sharpest drops in cour to cour OP quality I have ever seen.

>>155891272
Best dark comedy anime

>>155891272
Even a worse adaptation than Ufo UBW.
People need to read the fucking LN already.

Fate/zero is a PREQUEL, you always watch/read/play a series in release order. You will not be able to fully enjoy zero if it's the first fate work you watch, you also won't know what the fuck is going on ESPECIALLY the ending. Read the VN, watch/read zero, it's that simple.

Download the fucking VN and then play? What else were you supposed to do?

Diarmuid deserves better

>>155891272
Only good fate entry.

>>155899269
Thee are so many versions of F/SN I don't know which to download and play

>>155899390
There's pretty much the original VN and Realta Nua. You want Realta Nua since it added new fancy CGs and stuff. You can patch the sex scenes back in if you want.

>>155899443
Tohsakas anus.

Bretty good. Makes "primaries" butthurt it can appeal to people who aren't mouthbreathers.
>>155894544
Nasu's such a hack, he needed someone less of a hack to do his own story justice.

>>155891294

>>155894544
But Nasu was the one that said Zero was better than FSN and asked the aniplex guy to adapt it instead.

>>155894544
>We were talking about adapting the book as far back as when we were recording Realta Nua.
>Why would Zero be written by Urobuchi Gen? That is a long story. The relationship between Urobuchi Gen and Fate can go back to 2002.
>I was writing the Fate Saber route at the time, and was sent into the hospital near my house due to illnesses. TYPE-MOON was still doujin at the time, and Fate was yet a fledgling draft with four main routes including an Ilya route. Takeuchi, who thought ‘if there’s only Nasu doing the work we’ll never finish it’, asked me: “Is there a writer you think as trustworthy who can write some stories to be inserted into plot?”
>I was thinking of asking you to write an additional story for Fate/hollow ataraxia. The text you turned in that became Fate/Zero was amazing. Many anime fans want there to be a lot of cute bishoujo characters in the work, and while they work hard to meet those needs, Iwakami, an important producer at Aniplex, wasn't satisfied just by doing that. I suggested that he tackle Fate/Zero, a dark and serious story full of raw emotion. He had the resolve, and that's how they ended up adapting Fate/Zero.
Actually Nasu.

>>155894945
Nasu asked Butcher to bully Saber a lot, actually.

>>155891587
All the memes aside I liked Iskandar. Him and Waver felt like the only likable people in the cast.

>>155904845
You can't bully Saber.

First season was quite decent
Second season was a huge quality drop

>>155907566
Third will redeem!

I thought it was okay
Pretty sure it has a ton of plot holes somewhere but I was busy contemplating young Kotomine so I didn't notice them
Pin unrelated

>>155891543
are the threads archived somewhere?

>>155891587
I love Zero. I love UBW. I even love the original FSN anime

>>155892573
Zero itself doesn't get shat on, but a lot of people hate Zerofags and them putting Zero characters on pedestal for being "so complex and mature xd" when the point of the LN/Anime was to show that they're all fucking retards.
