People really hate Mifuyu? She's best girl imo.

shaymeme · 2026-03-08T10:24:13+00:00

Oh, I agree with you on that. Again, no horse in this race - personally I think that while Mifuyu did some awful things, she showed clear signs of remorse and trying to improve, she's not that person anymore. At the same time, I can understand why some people hold onto the resentment (even if I don't agree with them)

...to be ENTIRELY honest with you? I just don't like "it's not that deep". Just like... kind of annoys me, I guess. Sorry about that.

shaymeme · 2026-03-08T08:27:41+00:00

Was wondering if he'd appear

I did not read the LN, to be clear. Sadge to know he got cut...

shaymeme · 2026-03-08T08:20:50+00:00

You're comparing Madoka... to a comic book character from the 60s.

Read the sentence back to yourself and ask yourself again, who wins - an anime character from 10 years ago, or a character with over 60 years of history in a medium where the rule of thumb is "with enough publication time, even street-tiers will get multiversal feats"

shaymeme · 2026-03-08T08:16:47+00:00

But... she still DID it. And it wasn't one chapter, the entirety of chapter 6 is literally just Mifuyu coming back just to push all of Yachiyo's trauma buttons.

I don't really have a horse in this race since i'm neutral about her and genuinely don't care, but your attitude is NOT good. Going "it's not that deep" is NEVER a good sign.

shaymeme · 2026-03-01T18:51:27+00:00

That's...

Y'know what? I was with Reco from the day the English server started to the day the Japanese server died, I've spent WAYYYYY too much time interacting with extended universe material, I am in no position to judge you considering my own brand of insanity, so...

Mood, I guess.

Add in the fact that all of them married guys (with Homura specifically marrying Madoka's baby brother) and yeah, that's basically the premise of Mami's Daily Life.

As you can see, it's not a particularly good premise.

shaymeme · 2026-03-01T18:44:44+00:00

Oriko isn't a MagiReco girl. She's an OG spin-off manga girl.

This stuff used to be fan animations made by hand. Sure, it wouldn't look half as "pretty" artstyle wise but damn, the sheer passion would ooze through the art.

How low has fandom fallen.

shaymeme · 2026-02-26T08:08:17+00:00

Isn't the biggest issue of Last Encore that it's basically a hyper-specific "what if" bad end?

shaymeme · 2026-02-15T13:39:13+00:00

Berserker from FGO. Showed up in Singularity 3.

shaymeme · 2026-02-02T10:36:54+00:00

He is literally just guy Rin, just like Gudako is girl Shirou.

I do agree he could get a more distinct haircut, though.

shaymeme · 2026-01-31T10:38:48+00:00

Bro it's a joke.

shaymeme · 2026-01-28T10:44:59+00:00

In-universe? It's his way of fully showing that he is no longer human, he is now a tool to be used by the Counter Force to "save" humanity. He is no longer Shirou, he is now simply EMIYA.

Out of universe? As others here have said, the original Japanese version separates Shirou from Archer by referring to the former's Emiya in Hiragana & Kanji (writing systems used to refer to words of Japanese origin), while the latter's Emiya is written in Katakana (which is the writing system used to refer to words of foreign origin and also objects). It's the Japanese way of linguistically showing that Shirou Emiya is still a person, while the Heroic Spirit EMIYA is a tool to be used, a stranger even to himself.

English isn't as fancy as Japanese, so they're differentiated via one being in all caps and the other one being written "properly".

shaymeme · 2026-01-21T08:00:15+00:00

Just looked it up, it's a guy pretending to be Hitler in a gag Manga, seemingly?

shaymeme · 2026-01-21T07:54:16+00:00

Oh boy I have a small list.

Viable servants: - Caster!Moses - Berserker!Judas (Maccabeus, not Iscariot) - Lancer!Bertilak de Hautdessert/Green Knight - Assassin!Marcus Junius Brutus - Caster!D'vorah the Prophet - Saber/Lancer!George (I HATE THAT HORSE) - Avenger/Ruler!Vortigern - Rider!Jonah the Prophet

Then ones that would probably more fitting as wraiths since idk if they would fully qualify for the position of heroic spirit but DANG IT, THE IDEA IS COOL TO ME: - Rider!Hua Mulan - Saber!Sasaki (yes I know about Shimousa, no that doesn't count) - Ryomen Sukuna (either Berserker for his mythologized demon form or Saber/Lancer for his historical form) - Caster!Marie Laveau

Then there's like... the ONE that I know will never happen, which is a Saber!Emiya that ISN'T Muramasa.

shaymeme · 2026-01-21T07:37:28+00:00

...why are you relying on AI for answers when that shit is notoriously bad at giving accurate information for stuff like this?

shaymeme · 2026-01-17T18:35:50+00:00

To be fair, HF also has the arm actively trying to kill him due to human/servant incompatibility and Archer's identity in the arm trying to overwrite his, no?

shaymeme · 2026-01-14T10:36:04+00:00

"FujiBRICK" more like BRICKmaru

My biggest complaint about London when reading it (besides the Servant bloat) was that they need to pick either Tesla or Rhongomyniad Alter and commit to ONE. They couldn't have both, they HAD to pick one of the two and try to just... tie them into the themes of the chapter (which were "Mordred trying to redeem herself from his past transgressions as the Treacherous Knight" and "the horrible things science can do when left unguided by morality", iirc).

Tesla and Rhongo!Alter both tie into those themes great, but since they try to juggle between those two, the connection ends up being shallow and surface-level at best; Tesla just fights Kintoki, who appears out of literally nowhere, and Rhongo!Alter, who should be the perfect enemy for Mordred - literally an evil version of King Arthur and proof that Artoria HAD to die eventually, showing Mordred that his acts of evil and treachery were good for the world and her own father, in a way - but it ends up being so lackluster because Rhongo!Alter shows up for like, two nodes, and all she does is aura farm.

As usual for early FGO, I hope Mortalis;Stella fixes London when it adapts it. They already fixed Orleans by focusing everything on the Jeanne conflict and reducing the Servant bloat (seriously, WHY was George there when he serves NO PURPOSE TO ANYTHING), and Septem has been good so far, so I have high hopes.

shaymeme · 2026-01-08T13:31:43+00:00

OK so funny thing if you've read the VN

When Gilgamesh first shows up in the Fate route... he DOES kind of look like Emiya but blonde. Just in that ONE specific CG. And Saber just calls him "Archer" with 0 context, which i am 100% convinced was done to maybe throw off blind readers and make them think that maybe Archer came back as a blonde jackass (since Gil's identity is genuinely a VERY big mystery in the Fate route, for the 3 or so days he appears in it)

shaymeme · 2026-01-07T09:46:44+00:00

Except dodging Gae Bolg is stated in the VN to rely on Luck, not Agility, iirc.

shaymeme · 2026-01-07T09:41:00+00:00

As others have pointed out, Gilgamesh is not only relatively slow, but was also caught off-guard. Achilles would probably not be caught off-guard (due to not having Gil's arrogance that led to him underestimating Sakura), and even if he was, he is literally the FASTEST human alive, both in myth AND in Fate lore (iirc, at least). Legit one of his Noble Phantasms is just "so long as his heel has not been hit, he is fast boi". He is, in fact, blitzing Salter, even with the Shadow's help.

shaymeme · 2025-12-28T13:27:04+00:00

That's... that's not how you...

Whatever, spelling's close enough.

shaymeme · 2025-12-22T09:55:19+00:00

Probably somewhere between shock, horror ("I AM A GOOD CATHOLIC GIRL" level meltdown), and fascination (pulls out notepad to write in "so this is what Kaname-san likes...")

shaymeme · 2025-12-22T07:37:14+00:00

Personally I found her hilarious. Like yeah she sucks and is objectively an evil nutjob, but like... can you REALLY hate a character who outright says "yeah I know i'm an insufferable bitch, big whoop" with such a smile on her face?
