I was pressing my brain trying to remember why I know who JelloApocolypse is and then I realised back in 2020 he made a poorly recieved Biden shill video where he begged people to go out and vote for Biden or else they wanted the resurrection of Hitler and TND

It was even more pathetic than that because it was actually for the 2018 midterms, dude had such TDS he had to beg and plead people to vote differently in an election that would change jack shit.

It makes me reminiscent how fantastic was Fate writing with the UBW. Shirou's future fate is shown as a wasteland with unnamed graves that just churns out weapons. Really encapsulates how tragic his story is. Kinda fitting jjk just takes the cool sword place aspect.

I still have no idea how Nasu did it. Kara no Kyoukai and the original Fate feel like modern fairy tales. Granted, the former is still his edgy teenage modern fantasy ideas. Just executed rather well. There's something wistful and tragic in both stories beyond just the plot elements.

It's because, despite Nasu's flaws as a writer... he actually, genuinely, gave a fuck. He didn't think about meeting quotas or tropes, no. Fate was his baby. And looking back through his older works, everything was building up to it, including his own skills.

In a sense, Nasu was Shirou, getting stronger with each VN he put out until he put out one of the most popular VN's of all time, especially going by sales records. I think the aspect of putting himself in was what let him see it through.

Anyone else notice female reverse Lolicons a thing? Is there a term for them? Adult men lusting for lolicons is bad. But young girls lusting for older men is good. I like to make fun of Lolicons like Vaush. But I'd be lying if I didn't notice anti-fan service crowds are okay with young girls lusting over older men. They are okay with that relationship because the little girl is in charge. A good example is Cardcaptor Sakura.

Oh it was. As I said, Nasu isn't perfect as a writer. But damn it, he fucking tries. And you could tell the entire way this was HIS story. Not some corporate shit. It had soul. That 2004 energy I associate with my childhood like Bionicle Metru Nui, where even when stuff didn't fully make sense, it was still fucking cool. Which is what matters at the end of the day.

JelloApocalypse, which some of you may know for their video telling you to vote and for his scat fetish (not looking that up I hope you understand), has recently gotten into anime dubbing. The Lovely Complex Discotek rerelease comes with an all new dub written by him and somebody else, and it is rampant with changes to the source material and hatred towards the original source material.

They later went and posted a whole rant on Patreon basically talking about how they altered so much in order to make the show "watchable" and how the show was a 3/10 at best. They altered everything revolving around this tranny character that showed up because it didn't fit with the times as well. The part that shocked me the most besides from the obvious was how the show is now considered old because its from the ancient year of...2007!

This is a huge fumble on Discotek's part, though it's not directly THEIR fault that the dub ended up like this. The state of the dubbing industry is irreversibly fucked. Archive of the post.
(forgive the horrible formatting of these images an archive is being uploaded as of this post)

It does sadden me how we're probably never going to get anything new besides gacha shit and meaningless side-stories that can't capture the original's charm.

I will say I have liked strange fake from what I've read of the manga adaption, given it was sorta supposed to be a sequel to stay night, it just fell ridiculously behind because the author has health issues

It falls into the same trap all the series do: thinking Fate was about the grail war rather than what heroes were to humanity and the overarching plot of humanity leaving something behind as they progress the Nasuverse has.
 
I'm disappointed that THE GREATEST ESTATE DEVELOPER is being rebranded as The Worlds Best Engineer

But that's the fun part, the characters discovering the grail is bullshit. And how they grow getting to that conclusion. The amount of change that happens, especially in F/SN, though it feels strange fake is getting close, is why fate is so rewarding and rewatchable. Seeing Archer and Shirou duke it out and philosopize never gets old because the sheer amount of growth in both of them.
 
The Tale of Genji, the first Japanese novel. Is literally a woman retelling how she married her father-husband. It might be just a Japanese thing, but I know women irl who go after older men. Like a decade+, they usually have good relationships with their fathers so it might just be searching for a partner who you think would be a good parent and their ideal is literally their father.

He didn’t he inserted his bullshit into millennia known wisdom that people speak partners who in some part remind them of their parents. That can be a lot of things, they don’t literally want to fuck their parents.

Daughter-wives and son-husbands are rare as shit. Oedipus Rex is famous literally because it was taboo. I don’t think there was ever a culture where kings would marry their mother outside of weird Chinese courts where the Dynasty was on the way out.

Was Naruto even good? I remember reading the manga when it was first hitting American shores (I've been told the amount I read would be equivalent to like, the first five or six episodes) and just... I was bored almost immediately, and couldn't see why everyone was going ga-ga over this thing

Naruto gets good towards the end of its first real arc about the bridge and then it picks up from the Chuunin exams arc. So you basically quit just when it got good.
 
One of Fujimoto's oneshots is getting a movie

Wonder how well this'll do since CSM underperformed a bit because japs for some autistic reason hated the anime's director and in turn the show itself, this time there's a new guy so can't use might have a better chance honestly.

Nasu has a rule of never using the same characters after the first time, he is never going to write shirou again. The same goes for Saber.

If he has to do it, he will twist into something new like Artoria Caster, Muramasa (this one os the funniest, since shirou will never live enough to be an old man according to him, see someone like shirou act like a grandpa is the twist), Emiya Alter.

Nasu is a fucking damn talented writer, he managed to make me cry five times in a span of intervals of 10 minutes in lostbeltb 7, which he said it was a simple story.

Very rare to see someone to write a character like Tezcatlipoca, someone who views things as a god and his point of view is totally different than a human character. Even more when it ties to the whole theme of life and death that the story had.

Absolute chad.
