I mean, I've seen you criticize but don't think I've seen you criticize popular anime enough to make that connection lol. That or you're not very vocal about it  | ||

Blue Gender as romance? There is a relation developping in it, but when thinking of Blue Gender, survival/sci-fi come to mind first. | ||

Her ideals are the thing that are supposed to make her annoying, just like every knightly character in fantasy ever. From Chivalry to some other "code" its one of the most common things for other characters to point out as being annoying and something they almost always have to struggle with as ideals clash with reality. I think I might like the "concept" of Saber the most, the female king arthur was cool when I 1st heard about it and I loved her overall design and look. The thing I looked up about the Fate series is the background stuff about Saber (her in own time). I am not sure what medium tells that story (might even be one not accessible in english) but that is the story I am probably most interested in and wish they would do a spin off of THAT instead of the one they are doing. | ||

F/SN VN is fan translated and pretty easy to find, and highly recommended to understand whole Fate series. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is the direct sequel to F/SN, it's a fan service disk with mostly random stories and somewhat of an overall plot. It's not available in English. Fate/Zero is the prequel novel by Urobuchi Gen. The anime is a pretty good adaptation with minor differences (mostly Rin's silly adventure). Fate/Tiger Colosseum and Upper are PSP fighting games that's pretty much blows. Fate/Unlimited code is PSP fighting game that's better. Fate/Extra CCC are PSP games set alternative universe that's kind of an imagining of F/SN. They are kind of fun to play but only available in Japanese Fate/Kaleid Liner is alternative universe manga, currently in the third arc. S1 of anime covered first arc, S2 presumably covers second. Fate/Apocrypha is a novel by Higashide Yuuichirou that set in alternative universe that has very little to do with Fate franchise. In addition, Fate has loose relations to Tsukihime franchise and Kara no Kyoukai. | ||

You can watch F/Z without it, but if you're actually intending on following the franchise the way it's intended, it's VN then F/Z. Since when have people cared about watching in intended order? I actually see a lot of people suggest F/Z first because "FSN spoils F/Z." | ||

You don't care too much about that, that's a difference. Saber, like it or not, is practically the face of the Fate series. And shes all over the promotional material for the new FSN, and shes barely around in Heavens Feel. Shes by far the most popular, so animating a route with minimal presence of by far the most popular character seems highly unlikely. As far as "what order" does Fate stuff goes in, the only correct order is FSN VN->F/Z. Any other order is wrong, just varying degrees of wrong. Any order involving F/Z first is a pretty bad order, only being surpassed by any order involving the FSN anime. On July 27 2014 14:07 XenOmega wrote: Blue Gender as romance?

ZNF wanted to watch MAL-branded "romance" animes in order to get some Malgraph award. So I recommended him animes that MAL has branded as Romance. I realize what MAL does and doesn't tag as "romance" is strange. And at any rate, there isn't anything strange as Blue Gender getting tagged with that, anyway. | ||

The author also just writes pretty troll manga at times. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RJCEZbI.png) | ||

SAO: + Show Spoiler + lol. I knew as soon as I saw that, that he'll win all those credits. Wonder how long it'll last before he mentions he's a guy or she finds out. Also, would've liked to see his stats rather than just strength and then agility, like actually numbers. Overall though, enjoyed the episode and hope we see more fights in the upcoming ones :D | ||
