I couldn't understand the hype for the Fate franchise ...
Note: The ORIGINAL fans spawned from the VN, not from Fate/Zero ...

What kind of hipster crap is this "original" fans stuff? A fan is a fan. The moment someone tries to raise one portion of a fan base over another is the exact moment I stop taking that person seriously.

The series spent way too much time masturbating over him and finding ridiculous ways for him to survive when the bad guys had dozens of chances to kill him. He was so bloody stupid and almost got Rin and Saber killed so many times that I just wanted one of them to snap and cut his head off. |
Didn't you enjoy the numerous times when he, the least skilled and prepared member of the group, swore to stand up and protect the weak women in his group, i.e. folks who could easily crush him anytime they wanted, and thereby only caused more trouble for everyone? I enjoyed those segments myself.

Believe me I have an extreme dislike for "hipster" crap but all this hype for the Fate franchise feels extremely superficial to me since there's a whole lot bandwagoning going for it ...
I'd wager that most who are fans of Fate/Zero are actually fans of Gen Urobuchi rather than the series ...
Most of the Fate/Zero fans don't seem too enthused at all about Type-Moon's own original work which was Fate/Stay Night and that's where the franchise started to be fair ...

I thought you were going to post a different Kuro gif..( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It was good, but nowhere as good as Fate/Zero.

Yeah, I mean, if you think about it, Saber is only one of the greatest warriors in all of history and one of the most powerful beings in the present world. She might as well have been begging for a male high school student who typically gets schooled by his female high school teacher in kendo to protect her. What is she going to do, fight her own battles? Pfft.

Only thing that really bugged me was when *SPOILER*
*SPOILER*
Shiro (spelling off I know) lost saber to caster without even letting saber fight.

Oh you're one of those guys.
lol.
For Zero yes for the Unlimited Blade Works no. And I will say I am like 90% a sub guy; but the dub in Fate Zero I thought was fantastic.
