Our inner lolicon is bigger than our inner yandere?

It's infinity times better to face an angry Yuzumori-san than an angry Satou?

Maybe it's because there's more to talk about in Yuzumori-San. As interesting as Happy Sugar Life is, it's still more familiar to me than what Yuzumori-San is trying to do with its story and characters.

Edit: Also the Lolicon angle of Yuzumori-San would be more problematic for people since it's much more grounded in reality than Happy Sugar Life, so that adds more comments too.

I'm quietly hibernating until Fate/Extella comes out and sucks the life out of me.

Probably because it deals with loss and remembrance in a way not done often in this genre. The fact that it touches on stuff like unrequited love or how people view the past as they get older is pretty cool. Considering the really short length of this manga, i agree that i am reading a bit into it, but hey if something makes you do that then good on it, right?

I don't think this is reading into it too much as well, it's pretty much on-point methinks.

Completed Dragon Age Origins. I don't know if it's popular here.

Really loved it more despite graphically inferior than its sequels. Story was fun. Dialogues were hilarious.

But what i liked the most is how the choices of 1st game still have effect in sequels and how Bioware is so casual and accepting about homosexuality. Good thing i choose Leliana and she remained loyal to the hero

Just hope to see my female Warden in next part with Leliana >.<

...Maybe lower your expectations because imo none of the sequels came close to being as good as Origins.

Edit: Especially if you plan to play Dragon Age 2. Take a look at all the vitriol aimed at it, adjust your expectations accordingly but still retain some optimism because it's still dragon age, then play it; at least that's how I think I still had fun with Dragon Age 2.

I wrote a paragraph's worth of a comment in the anime season forum thread here when it came out. I was hyped for what seemed like a few minutes before I remembered Extella/Zero exists and that we never actually got to see Hakuno and Nero together. Since I am very dubious with Fate in general, I'm not expecting anything to come of that. If it really is female hakuno as a protagonist and not as a "fake" that will get killed off, and I'm proven wrong, then I promise to make a sacrificial offering to SHAFT for doing the impossible. Until then, I'm not holding my breath.

Edit: And those Male Hakuno looking eyes at the very end helps with my Extella/Zero scenario too.

Is this it?

I have to say... that said a lot more about other versions of Shirou than about this one.

Yeah...

Edit: although they're right though, it is pretty funny that one of the more liked Shirou is the one that's not even taking center stage. I'm glad I was wrong; it further helps drive home the point that Shirou isn't exactly the best protagonist/character/master. I vote for Shirou actually getting killed by Lancer at the beginning then Ayaka from Strange Fake arriving and becoming Saber's master instead.

We get to see her slowly descend into fate/go hell in real time

best part is all of the artwork we get as a result:

WOW. Takemiya Jin just created a separate twitter account dedicated to Fate/GO; she's falling down the gatcha rabbit hole. This is adorable, it's only been like 5-ish days since she started playing.

Edit: Now she's following me back on twitter, idk what's even going on anymore.

Well, i concur this (hence never could watch any of the actual Fate series after the 2003 one). Why the heck do you make a spin-off series of a spin-off series featuring the character of the original series? Desperated much?

From what I hear they brought over the harem nonsense (including Illya because they HAD to carry that part over too). Like I know little to nothing about Kaleid, but wasn't it an alternate universe where Fate/Zero never happened since Kiritsugu and his wife decided to screw the grail war over? In that case...Why adopt Shirou?!

It's not like any Fate fan's gonna be like "Oh yep, my favorite incarnation of Shirou is definitely the one in the magical girl spin-off that is the least similar to Fate than any other spin-off. I feel like his characterization there is the most well-written one." or any yuri fans will be "Yep, I feel like the addition of tired het elements in this story through Shirou is a welcome addition and brings a nice change of pace." OR "Oh golly gosh, Shirou Emiya?! I'm gonna go watch this show now and hope HE becomes the magical girl!"

I was fairly amused, until I recognised the uniforms/art and realised it spoiled this [dropped] yuri series and I cringed really hard. It's not your fault tho, you wouldn't have known.
Good thing I don't remember the side characters, and hopefully, if it does get picked up again, I won't remember that this scene happened

oh crap, I'll change it. Sorry!

I apologize for the large image (I already reduced it by half but it's still big) but I just saw this from a japanese twitter account I'm following and I thought some might be amused by this. I don't even read the manga but the reactions are A++++.

I keep on coming back to this for some reason. One of my favorite pair of characters in all the original yuri manga I've read in this website.

It's definitely about the execution of the thing at this point; it really doesn't matter if I saw the ending a mile away. Great read.

Also Yuri on Ice benefits everyone who likes to see more same-sex relationships in anime, I feel like it's a small step forward to normalizing it.

One of the highlight: Illiya and Kuro make-up making-out in Fate Kaleid.

Yeah, if Fate Kaleid could like set Shirou on fire and throw his corpse off a bridge, that would be swell. Still won't watch it, but it'd be nice.

So I just saw the new RWBY episodes and I gotta say it has one of the best fight scenes I have watched

From what tumblr says though, all this time they STILL haven't touched upon what happened in the end of season 3? No talking about that thing with Blake and Yang?

I kinda have a bone to pick with DEEN since they butchered two of my favorite series (Higurashi's first season and Umineko… my god the Umineko anime =.=). I think they're usually seen as the typical "low budget-low creativity" studio.

I completely understand Umineko, but Higurashi's pacing was excellent imo, which was crucial for the genre.

How do I add manga to my read list?

Welp, good thing I saved this since this question seems pretty common.

Dame! I didn't finished that route, but i knew about it. I'll give it the "life is strange" approach :D... any one can tell me how to mark acoment as spoiler? -_-*

use "==" at the beginning and end of the sentence you want to hide with a spoiler tag.
e.g. == insert sentence here ==

Example: (You can quote the comment to see how the spoilers is used below)
I'm reading octave right now and this translation is so hilariously stilted any effect the drama has is gone. Yukino is indeed the worst so far.

The day Fate has a female protagonist master in an anime is the day pigs fly. I thought it would happen with Fate/Prototype but that was just an OVA trailer. Fast forward years later and we get a Fate/Apocrypha anime before Fate/Prototype even though that already had everything it needed from that OVA alone.

Also I've never seen a japanese video game where you can pick the gender of the protagonist and the game favoring the female protagonist in promo material except for SwordCraft Story. Gudao for the Fate/GO OVA was just as expected.

Yay, finally got around to this one, completely forgot it existed. I'm on Chapter 9 right now, and, uh...is this "masterpiece" supposed to have this rough of a start? I'm sort of remembering now why I stopped for a while and completely forgot about it. It's a weird feeling having a story trying to give off the vibe of being mature while simultaneously having my suspension of disbelief slowly breaking as I go along; and this is before I inch ever closer to those Het tagged chapters. Oh boy, I can see this coming a mile away even without reading any of the comments based solely on how our protagonist has acted so far.

Edit: Also nine chapters in and it already made me realize that my age is inversely proportional to how "mature" I want any form of media nowadays. I can handle and preferred stuff like this years ago but now I need to take a break every few chapters with all these insecurities weighing down on me too much. Can our protag, like, chill and be happy, for at least half a chapter without finding something problematic? :(

A pretty interesting article about gender equality in Japan. (google translate kind of does a surprisingly decent job of making it readable)

"In Tokyo University, some were surprised to learn that female members wanting to join the tennis club were required to make lunches for male members."

The most interesting part for me at least is that it quotes Hillary Clinton quite a bit, especially her speech towards girls chasing their dreams. Say what you will about her, but she was able to reach a lot of people even if she didn't win.

Awesome

There's more where that came from:

You can take a peek at her twitter account and you'll see she's been talking about Fate/GO for a while now since the beginning of the year.

Edit: So far she summoned both Mordred and Artoria in a single roll and she tweeted right after that she's confused about their parent-child relationship, it's pretty great.

Awesome can you link it to me

Oh wow, Takemiya Jin is now playing Fate/Grand Order, that's kinda great.

How awesome would it be if she designed a new character

She already drew Mashu in her style, which was really fast considering that she just started.
