Fate/Zero∼

Oh, Lord, how good was Fate/Zero ;_; ..?
Wonderful story and characters' portrayal!!! Even the shitty characters are awesome because they are functional to the story ;o; <333
The characters that I hated the most are Kiritsugu and Sola. Two whores with different appeals >_>; ! I hope that Kiritsugu'll get better in season 2, 'cause I was still amused by his role as Shiro's dad ._.
--I liked Kayneth ;_; I like those kind of proud, smartass characters, and I suffer to see them miserable ;_; I LIKE TO PAIR HIM WITH LANCER ;___; ...I don't like Lancer very much either, but his relationship with Kayneth was cute ;__; Also, if I don't know how much was his actual feelings and how much the fear for the curse in his past life as a hero...

...Randomly spaking of pairings, am I the only one who wants to see Berserker/Saber (aka Lancelot/Arthur) ;o; ..?

My favourite character is Kirei. I ship Kirei with Gilgamesh, NO MATTER WHAT. GHH, HOW EROTIC. I wanted to ship him with Tokiomi at first, but Tokiomi never really got on me as I thought he would :/ ! I was expecting much more out of Rin's dad! And speaking of Rin, both Rin and Irisviel WERE THE CUTEST THINGS EVER ;_; And little Sakura-chan!!! Nuuuuu T__T !!!
My favourite servants are Gilgamesh (apparently I'm really weak to the Archer class XD) and Iskander of AWESOME ;o;
Speaking of Iskander, I MUST CONFESS YOU THAT I CAME DURING EPISODE 11.
That episode was fudging EPIC. AND. AWESOME. Fullstop.

Oh, and BTW, let me a little fangirly dissertation over the guys showing up among Ionioi Hetairoi >D

The characters showing up in Iskander's army are probably guys related to his life <3
Your Dae here, holding Wikipedia and the cast of Alexander in her hands, tried to guess who these guys were--

Pretty boy with a Golden Armor.
I suspect that he's pretty Hephaestion.
He showed up for first and he's warped by a Golden Light of Love, so I assumed that he's Alexander's bestest friend/lover >3> !
Hephaestion died earlier than Alexander, so this may explain why he looks a bit younger than the other warriors-- But the fact that he's so "hiden" among other warriors makes one wonder.

Dark pretty boy with long hair.
I'm unsure here.
At first I thought that he could be Ptolemy, but the obscureness of the subject made prefer Perdiccas over him-- But now, considering his dark hair and gloomy features, he may as well be Cleitus--But since Cleitus betrayed him, maybe it's be better to see Perdiccas as a part of his eternal army..?
--Now that I think about it there's also Antigonus >3> ...

Then, an old man.
Definitely Aristoteles.

Cool blondie.
I believe this one is Philota :3

--And of course this is Bucephalus x3
...Aaaah, I wonder if they'll show up again somewhere and if we'll get to know who they are XD

--And now I seriously need to take a nap D:

If you are impatient to know what is going to happen in Season 2, and don't mind spoiling yourself ahead of time, you might want to check out the Baka Tsuki fan translation of Fate/Zero. They have the entire thing translated into English! I ended up reading the entire thing. ;;__;; I WON'T SPOIL YOU BUT LEMME JUST SAY THAT THE ENDING SATISFIED ME IN ALL THE WAYS.

I don't hate Kiritsugu per se, but I definitely don't like him... his emo is tiresome and I think he just doesn't know how to appreciate what he has. Sola... omg, I truly loathe Sola. She is terrible. I understand that in part her actions are because she got caught up in Lancer's curse and so couldn't help but fall in love with him, but she doesn't even bother to achlnowledge Kayneth's real feelings for her, and even as an evil soulless manipulative person, she should at the very least do that. ;__; She reminds me of a selfish teenaged girl who thinks that the whole world should bow down and admire her ~~tragic and deep feelings~~ but doesn't even pretend to respect the affections and allegiances of others.

Gilgamesh is just too grand for me to ship him with Kirei romantically, but sexually? Where Gilgamesh is totally using Kirei and sexes him up 1) because Kirei amuses him, and 2) because it's an excellent way to fuck around with Kirei? Sign me up! Kirei isn't my top favorite character, but I definitely respect him for being honest about his... kind of, lack of scruples. I also think his angst is adorable so I'm happy whenever he's on the screen.

MY top favorite character has got to be Iskander. He is AMAZING and I AGREE WITH ALL OF HIS PRINCIPLES and think he is MAGNIFICENT and ADORABLE and HILARIOUS.

Your fangirl dissertation on the Ionioi Hetairoi is wonderful, btw. XD I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THAT PART OF HISTORY TO SAY IF YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT I AM SURE YOU ARE!!!

Oh, Hero, you give me so much satisfaction ;___; !!

Oh, thank you for the link ;o; I didn't know that there was a novel out of Fate XD ? The only one I knew about was Fake/States Night and it was as awesome as WTF (in a good way!) XD
Mhhh, now I'm tempted to read it too ;o; I've already spoilered myself thanks to TypeMoon Wikia, but I don't wanna know TOO MUCH, so I can enjoy season 2 ;o; !
But I know that things are going to end beautifully, TypeMoon never failed me!
(--Also if I think that the Stay Night ending with Shiro becoming a hero was a bit WTF XD)

Yeah, same here for Kiritsugu and Sola.
Sola doesn't deserve any more words, but Kiritsugu, yeah, I hate him in a very bothering way >_< I'm quite tired by the merciless killer stereotype, and as much as I like him for plot reasons, I still dislike hiom as a characterization :/ His ways really piss me off!

Ahah, of course Gilgamesh/Kirei (Kirei/Gilgamesh XD ?) must be intended for smexy purposes only!!!
OMG, all that chatting between them is so ambiguous and such x3 !!!
--And I always liked Kirei, even in Stay Night ;o; <3 He's similar to Kiritsugu, but his mean nature makes him more amusing to me <3

YES, ISKANDER WINS. --He should be the one who should win the Grail, BY DEFAULT XD The idea of him in an actual human body is too much of an amusing image for me ;o; <3 And he could abuse his shota master righteously XD AWWW, HE'S SO CUTE ;_; --!!
--I don't know if I can survive his death T_T

Ahah, OH, THESE GREEKS! X'D
I'm uber-amused by this whole Ionioi thing, because those guys ARE SERVANTS and HEROES on their own!!
This makes Iskander even more awesome, but it also opens juicy scenarios where any of those guys could get summoned on their own ;o; <3 LOL, can you imagine awhole Fate series based on them? as in, everyone got summoned in the same Grail War..? BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, THEY'D JUST KILL THEIR MASTERS AND GO DRINK WINE WITH ISKANDER, LOL XD
--I really hope to get more official infos about them soon!!

I should re-watch Fate/Stay Night and please let this series see a DVD or blu-ray release! DX;

SAIBA-CHAN~!

I guess that it could take a while, the second part (never heard of such bullshit-- WHY DID THEY SPLIT IT IN TWO SERIES XDD ?!) is going to air on April 2012 ;_; ...

I hate you because you must have watched some other Fate series and get references and relationships >.< !

But I think the old man in the hetairoi is Parmenion!
And I thought the dark haired one would be Cleitus the Blck, but I'm not sure. Cleitus should be older than Alex, too LOL
Besides, anime are always pretty random with these things, so... whatever.

THE LAST EPISODE WAS SO FULL OF ISKANDER AND WAVER BEING ADORABLE AND CUTE AND EVEN MORE ADORABLE THAT I CAN ALMOST FORGIVE THE FACT THAT THEY'RE MAKING ME WAIT UNTIL APRIL FOR MORE
Waver's hair did the moe thing on his neck a few tomes too >o< !!

What I am a little disappointed about is that we had near to zero fights. And when Caster seemed to be doing something interesting... It turned out it was tentacles again =_= But I still love his crazy monologues!

I don't see what you like in Kirei, though :O
I mean, he and Gilgamesh do have potential (well, it's more like Gilga can have pretty much anyone if he wants imho), but he's the most boringest character ever together with your hated Kiritsugu!! Even Tokiomi being ridiculous with his glass of red wine and not doing anything for the whole time was less MEH than them two XDDD

Everyone else I found was kinda cute. Lancer's back story was confusing and looked kinda lame, I'm hoping they're showing more next season!

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
--You didn't watch the original Stay Night first, Teap D: ..? Oh, well, it's technically a sequel to Zero, so you can still watch it ^_^ It's about Kiritsugu's adopted son Shiro and his classmates! (among which are both Rin and Sakura. --SAKURA GETS YANDERE XD)
I must tell you that half of my disappointment in Kiritsugu and Tokiomi comes because of their children :/ Rin is just awesome, so I was expecting a hot-blooded dad XD and Shiro is so cute and righteous, so I was expecting anything but a bishie version of Golgo as his father :/
Anyway, 'di per se' they are boring characters XD

I liked Kirei because HE'S EVIL XD And since he's so detached and aparently "pure" it makes it extra interesting!!
then I must tell you that the interaction with Gilgamesh (OF COURSE GILGAMESH CAN HAVE EVERYONE. In canon he has a crush on Saber, but I decided to ignore it, just like Saber does/did XD) greatly helped me in the enjoyment of Kirei's personality :DDD I spoiled myself a bit on the Wiki, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT STUFF ANIMATED *___* !

Ahah, Caster & Ryuunosuke (or how the hell his name was) were as creepy as lol-inducing XDD For a moment I thought that Caster was going to kill Ryu, fortunately he didn't XD I like their scary partnership XDD
And yeah-- TENTACLES ;_;

Well, Lancer's backstory is lame 'cause it comes from Celtic's mithology. English stuff is all about smex and betrayals XDDD
--And it's true that there were very little fighting D: --LOL, the most of the fights just existed to kill some Assassins out XD

Parmenion makes sense tooooo ;o; !!!
And I thought so for Cleitus-- He had a gloomy aura that suits the character XD --But why people who betrayed Alex would accept to serve him again in his army D: ..? Then yeah, after all it's anime XD --BUT THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE A DESIGN MAKE ME WONDER ABOUT THEIR ACTUAL EXISTENCE IN THE PLOT ;o; The Wiki doesn't talk about them, though ;_;

Nnnnnuooooo please don't let such awesome charas as the hetairoi go to waste!!!!!! >o< !! Maybe Iskandar can get his own 3 episode OVA or something where it's just him and his ARMY OF AWESOME and then I can die happy

And I didn't watch any Fate anything beore because honestly Saber's outfit makes me cringe and that's what they've been using for selling the series. If I don't get enough details about Lancer out of the second season I might watch it |D

Re: Cleitus. Well he was pretty loyal and a good friend until Alex started to (let's admit it) get a little too crazy about marching into deserts, but that is the point. If we look it with a romance eye, Cleitus fought with Alex because he didn't understand his dream of grandness and conquering all the world until the army reached its end, so it's weird that he'd follow anime!Iskandar, who dreamt about reaching the sea... Then again, Cleitus was just a good general: the wellness and morale of your troops comes always first IMHO.

Well, Stay Night starred different Servants, so if you wanna know about those in Zero you should stick to Zero, or eventually get to read the novels (Hero linked it in her first comment!).
The onlt recurring Servant is Saber, and you got a bit of Gilgamesh in the movie of Stay Night (which was fucking awesome). --I don't remember if he showed up in Stay Night anime too, but it's probable XD

About Alex an his Army of Awesome, YEAH, I'd gladly watch a 50 episodes series about them ;___;
It'd be particularly COOL because every guy is an independent Servant, so it'd be possible that each Mage could evoke one singularly, and they should fight against each other-- What a wonderfully dramatic scenario ;o; !!!!
(but it'd probably end with the Servants killing their Mages to get drunk with Alex, LOL XD)

I WOULD LOVE TO BE HIS SECRETARY OR SOMETHING. IT'D BE LIKE WORKING AS A PR FOR THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD LOL YOU COULD LITERALLY ORGANIZE THE GRANDEST PARTIES LOLOLOL

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
x'DDDD

But I think that Gilgamesh would have the best parties-- His wine is better XD
(do you know that there's also Enkidu in the Fate's franchise? And Gilgamesh loves him the most?! --But since the guys at Typemoon do hentai only, they turned him into a loli ;_; When I saw pictures on pixiv I wanted to cry ;__; *uses Imagination and turns her into a cute shota instead*)

I don't know anything about Gilga's real story! I saw his book in a bookstore once and put it in my ibs wishlist, but never got to buying it :O
I BET HE HAS MANY SEXY ADVENTURES

But somehow I think that the hellenic culture brought getting drunk to a different level! I see Gilga amusing himself with dangerous games of having people killed by tigers and such, but when it's a matter of getting drunk... >D

Re: these comments reveal my depravity

[identity profile] tomoe-daeva.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Neither I do, but the Wiki reported a summary of his adventures (http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Gilgamesh) :D
Note that this Enkidu loli is not canon/canon (http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Fate/strange_fake), as Enkidu is he name of one of Gilga's favourite weapon.
--STILL, I LIKED THE IDEA OF REFINED GILGAMESH GETTING TO SMEX HIS CUTE SAVAGE FRIEND IN THE FATE FRANCHISE TOO D:

LOL, that's true XDDD ...And now the image of Gilgamesh complaining about the vulgar tastes in wine of both Tokiomi and Iskander is for ever in my mind XD
