From what I saw of Fate/Kaleid, I didn't much like that version of Illya. I much prefer the heartless version of her in Unlimited Blade Works.

... heartless in more ways than one? T.T

I don't quite remember, was she significantly different in UBW then in the Stay Night series?

The lesson that we were taught from Archer-ko and Mahou Shoujo Ilya is that we can't have Ilya play the protagonist to anything. She'd just overshadow the rest of the Fate universe.

There is also another lesson in that SAO is the cancer that destroys everything good, but I have no idea who can actually make that connection besides like Uta and maybe scansEU.

You watch the rest of the Fate universe Ryuhou?

I've seen Fate/zero and 2nd season as well as Fate/Stay night they're both good, although zero was much better than stay night. I have to say, i'm having trouble with this b/c there's like no order or chronology or anything like that. Well i guess there kind of is, but Kaleid doesn't exactly fit in with the others to me. It just feels messy. I'm unsure if i'm liking this as much yet. I'm at like episode 4 now i think. It's kind of different from those two series. It might be better than stay night (or maybe not who knows..) but i think zero was definitely better than this. Still, i'm gonna finish this and probably watch the one thats airing now and we'll see how it turns out.

edit: just noticed the time on this post but yay it's officially my birthday

Fate/Kaleid is a spinoff, and completely unrelated to other works, besides sharing characters and some very basic setting stuff.

Chronologically, it goes F/Z->FSN->FHA. Or something like that.

Obligatory FSN anime sucks, and the FSN VN was much better comment.

as compared to Fate/Zero i'll agree to this..but it wasn't terrible.

Well I suppose it wasn't as bad as something like Giniro no Olynsis, but its still far removed from what I would consider "good".

It is terrible because it took three routes of the VN and mashed them together. At best, it doesn't make sense. At worst, it defeats the whole point of some routes.

Well, its less an issue of "this wasn't adapated properly" and more of an issue of "the end result is a crazy senseless Frankenstein monster".

It matters because Ufotable is adapting something from FSN, and it's probably HF.

It matters because even ignoring the shitty adaptation part F/SN was pretty poorly done? ;;

Its probably not HF due to the sheer amount of Saber in the previews

F/SN Manga actually pretty good, and a suitable replacement for VN if you don't want bother (much better art for sure).

F/HA is just a mix of mini story with a loose storyline that doesn't make much sense. Fun OVA but not series worthy.

lol you guys. It doesnt matter to me b/c it was easy enough to follow even though it was like you said a 3-way train wreck. Maybe a more in depth working of each route would have been better, but it was enough the way it was for me to enjoy it.

edit: also, just started episode 5 of Kaleid + Show Spoiler +

The appearance of Saber! what i was hoping for...this should be good hopefully

S1 of Fate Ilya sucked anyway lol, everything good is from S2 and on. They did a decent job with the fights in s1 though

F/HA would've been glorious if just for Caren being awesome. She was the Kohaku that I needed from the Fate universe ;;

I don't know why anyone would have been hyped for Tokyo ESP to be honest. Yea lets copy like half the X-Men and have them fight guys with guns... yeah. Cool ga-rei zero cameos though. I guess the source material is a lot better or something?

The thing about the cameos though... Gee I wonder why the people with huge powerful spiritual beasts aren't doing anything ~_~
