Yeah. I maintain that Nero is a delightfully endearing character/personality in the show, but I never felt that L/E was eminently about her.

And the idea that Nero must be ridiculous or else the...

Being that I wasn't around when it was released and therefore missed most of the direct responses to it, I can't deny that it may not be as unpopular an opinion as it seems. It's just that, in...

For a real unpopular opinion, I felt that Last Encore was a poorly explained, casual viewer-unfriendly, inconsistently animated mess that was... pretty damn entertaining. There were some beautiful...

I mean, wouldn't it be accurate to say that there hasn't been a "proper HGW" since the second one?

#3: Mucked up by the Einzberns summoning an improper HS, creating an improper class (for the...

It was confirmed that Indian mythology characters are that old in-universe? I know there's multiple—very widely ranged—theories for when the events of those epics took place, but it seems odd to...

I feel like I should have remembered that.

Either way, without a definite outline on whether K&K's defense against similarly absolute effects is dependent on rank, there's no real way to declare...

If we take the NP rank route, Nasu did say that Cu can buff Gae Bolg to A rank with runes, IIRC. Which would certainly help.

But, I mean, are there any NPs we know of other than God Hand that have...

I mean, at a certain point, I think it would honestly come down to authorial fiat due to us not knowing which "absolute" effect takes precedence.

Gae Bolg: Strikes heart and deals damage...

Ah, apologies. I don't follow FGO near close enough to know every confrontation servants have. Especially during events and whatnot (which I guess their canon bout was from).

Just saw two servants...

Beowulf vs Martha in a fistfight.

Yeah, I don't think there's a much of an argument to say that Kayneth didn't get shafted by the narrative insofar as expressing his capabilities. I mean, it's no different than Alba, the super-move...

I've not seen the original japanese mats myself, but looking back at the translation it does seem to be inconsistent. Because before it mentions him as being at the Pride rank, it says that magi were...

Ah, you're right. I suppose I forgot that he jumped two ranks up.

That said, Nasu explicitly states that although prime!Zouken is capable of beating a servant under the right conditions, even he...

Darnic being on the level of Kayneth still kind of implies that he would dominate in a competition with most magi. Especially since part of his danger is his longevity leading to experience that...

For some reason, prime!Zouken being 27DAA-level surprises me. Even though it shouldn't.

Well, I mean, I actually agree with you. But the HF movie trilogy isn't a 1:1 analog to the HF visual novel route. They're different mediums and are consequently made with somewhat different...

In bold is exactly my point. It serves a purpose in context by giving the servants more screentime to showcase their abilities and personalities through combat. Which serves the overall purpose of...

Sorry for taking so long on this. My computer literally crashed while typing this reply.

You shouldn't target first-time viewers with HF. But I don't think that you can't. I honestly don't think...

I get your point. And to an extent I agree with you. I just think your interpretation isn't exactly what he mean when he used the world realism, in that you're talking about the realism of their...

Eh, that's kind of an argument of semantics. Since his point of realism has more to do with making it so that the events of the HGW exist within an actually functioning world with people in it and...

To be honest, I don't even necessarily think the fight needed to be as long as it was. And if they really wanted it to take that much time, then they could've storyboarded it in a more effective way...

Eh, it does do a sort of recap of the prologue though, so I wouldn't say it's actually necessary to watch UBW unless you're looking for the specific interactions involved therein. Not ideal no, but...

I mean, YMMV on the choreography/length, but I find it hard to argue that the scene was entirely superfluous. It serves a pretty clear narrative purpose, especially when taking into account that HF...

Having a contention with the choreography of the fight is also vastly different to taking issue with it's existence (or length, I suppose). And Nasu's statement pretty well sums up why I think it's...

*Raises Hand* I thought the Cu vs Hassan fight was cool, tbh. Generally speaking, I appreciate any servant-on-servant action (take that how you wish) because that's one of the core features of Fate...
