The Fate route is pretty damn good, would be on the level of great if Shirou wasn't so unlikeable on multiple levels. Its probably going to be my favorite route, but the UBW ones could unseat that (since I read the plot summaries of all the routes). I have no particular wish to sink a huge ass amount of time into the HF's routes though, even though I probably will because just reading plot summaries is kind of a cop out (even though I already know I won't really like it).

This song really goes well with a lot of scenes.

This one from the show is actually my favourite



FZ has some great soundtracks. But unlike this one (from youtube link), they sound 'plain' when taken out of the show. weird

If only the Halo-borrowed looks were the problem...
Didn't you notice how this pile of metal junk flies/high-jumps? It has primitive wingied thing attached to robot legs from OUTSIDE that acts like a jet-pack (ofc judging by it's actual size it couldn't even help to space maneuvering, yet lifting 2.5+ tonnes directly from ground), which means only one thing - even if it gets only slightly damaged, the weight balance could be never achieved. Good luck fighting for survival, soldiers, when every kind of explosion throw your suit off so you never get up - that's the exact kind of weapon humans were PROUD of at the beginning of their defense.


Well, you took both your examples from non-animated works, it may be one of the reasons)
Here are my two cents: Penelope is amazing because it was done by Zeorymer designer and Hathaway's Flash is really good; Nightingale is basically rejected Sazabi with more weapons, so it's somewhat okay, I guess, but nothing really special, it happens with Zeon suits.


I did, but only dead haven't expressed their dissapointment at Net with the way how "annihilation-field shield" was handled in third episode, so I decided to watch the next fight exclusively to see how much more stupid it would get. Creators didn't disappoint me in that regard, you don't see mecha suit dippng into the water after being hit by mere power crane controlled cargo container, like it was made of plastic and pilot felt asleep in the cockpit at the same moment, every day, afterall.

I liked the anime well enough the first time, but after reading the VN, going back to it felt kind of meh. The transition from 1st to 3rd person did not work, and the loss of Shirou's perspective on thing killed his characterization (not that Fate-Shirou had any to begin with). The unlimited blade work movie was a clusterfuck, they just ignored everything but the fight scenes. The animation for it was great though.

Heaven's Feel is a mixed bag for me. I don't really like Sakura, the + Show Spoiler + was a huge wtf man moment, but then you have the great Illya interaction, and Nine Bullets Revolver + Sparks Liner High (Those 2 scenes made the entire route worth it.).


@Whoever that suggested to me Scryed Thanks, looks pretty good

I have stated before that Saber is my favorite character in the Fate Universe, and reading the VN has made me like her even more and Shirou even less ~_~ (but I guess he gets a little more sympathy). I already know the plots to all the routes and the HF routes I am just like "whatever" Plus + Show Spoiler + could be because I never have been that interested in Sakura, I still will play through it though just to know everything. UBW will probably be close to Fate, will come down to the execution.

As for Fate Route 27 hours to complete ~_~

Downside of UBW is how little Illya there is

wait what? Scryed? whats this? ZETSUEI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, that definitely does not seem like mecha to me. Why does everybody label it as such?

Mostly because of the mecha.

but there's not really mecha. Show me the giant robot that guy climbs into and operates to fight with. I always imagined it was more of a supernatural power, and not a mecha b/c there's no like, engineers/technicians, no "pilots", and all that.

The word "mecha" (メカ meka?) is an abbreviation first used in Japanese of the word "mechanical". In Japanese, mecha encompasses all mechanical objects, including cars, guns, computers, and other devices. In this sense, it is extended to humanoid, human-sized robots and such things as the boomers from Bubblegum Crisis, the similar replicants of Blade Runner; even cyborgs can be referred to as mecha. The Japanese use the term "robot" (ロボット robotto?) or "giant robot" to distinguish limbed vehicles from other mechanical devices.
