Localizationing stuff
BOOP
1. Your favourite character and why.
- EMIYA. Pretty cliche and obvious. I don't care. The guy was simply badass. His conflict with his younger self over their ideals was really something.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
- Uryū Ryūnosuke. The guy is basically a serial killer. Fate/Zero manga made it more worse.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
- "But there is no rule that an imitation cannot defeat the original.
If you say you are the original, I shall surpass every one of your weapons and destroy your existence."
Truly epic.
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
- Ciel's ending in her route. To this day I still can't make any sense of it. Wut.
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
- Deermud's stabbing himself and cursing everyone including the grail. He just looks silly while doing it. ^^
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
- None. I'm a cold person. lol
7. Your favourite pairing (canon)
- Shirou x Rin
8. Your least favourite pairing (canon).
- Shirou x Saber (I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense...)
9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon).
- Mhmmm.....so many.... Shirou x Ciel!
10 Your least favorite pairing (noncanon).
- Gilgamesh x Saber (I don't acknowledge it.)
11. A character you can relate to the most.
- Taiga or Leysritt are the closest. I like good food. :3
12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
- The King of Heroes...err.
13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
- Neco Arc...maybe? Wait...
14. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
- Dr. Gil's Heart Surgery
15. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
- Any "calm scene from F/HA
16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
- UBW route. Archer's memories and flashbacks. The guy's fate is really tragic.
17. A character you would fug.
- Astolfo. Uehehehehehe ~ ❤
18. A character you would hug.
- Loli!Illyasviel. She's too adorable not to be hugged.
19. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
- One of my favorites is when Gilgamesh got shot in the head by a Faker.
20. Unpopular opinion.
- "Shirou x Saber is unnecessary in Fate route or in Saber's salvation/acceptance."
21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why?
- Illya. I see UBW and HF as a "mercy kill" because even though she survives the Grail War, she will still die due to her shortened lifespan. Two years...
I just wish she'll live a bit longer...
22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
- Taiga. So I can have someone who prepares me good food. Yum!
1. Your favourite character and why.
Makidera Kaede. Idiot genki-types are funny.
In terms of heroines, I like Arcueid and Rin a lot. There's a lot of characters I like.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
I guess you're supposed to hate Zouken by design, but he gets my vote for least favorite anyway.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
"Alba, please don't say something stupid like 'you're supposed to be dead'".
"BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!"
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
Uh, not sure. Nothing comes to mind.
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
Spoiler:
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
Tsukihime had a lot of sad scenes. Maybe Sacchin's death.
7. Your favourite pairing (canon)
Shiki and Mikiya.
8. Your least favourite pairing (canon).
I can't think of a whole lot. Shirou/Saber is sort of boring. Akiha's fiancee is gross.
9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon).
Mitsuzuri/Rider
Himuro/Issei
10. Your least favorite pairing (noncanon).
Gil/Saber is pretty bad. The idea of Shinji and Rin is also unappetizing.
11. A character you can relate to the most.
I like Tohno Shiki's enjoyment of mundane everyday things.
12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Caster (Medea)
13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
none.

Arceuid's True End.
16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
Isn't this the third time the same question is being asked? :v

Either Touko, Taiga, or Bazett.
18. A character you would hug.
Sacchin ;_;
19. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Pass.
20. Unpopular opinion.
Fate/Stay Night is better than Zero.
21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why?
It would be nice if Bazett didn't die, because I like her a lot.
22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
I'd be Mikiya and superglue Touko's glasses onto her face.

Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
1. Your favourite character and why.
Shirou. He's the best written sword ever. More seriously, it might just be Stockholm Syndrome, but I spent 50+ hours in his head and despite not liking a number of things in it, he stays endearing to me.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
Alba, because his behaviour is completely ridiculous.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
F/SN is the only one where I can remember the lines, so I'll go with
4. Scene or moment that made you think.'I'll make your dream...'
...That's the answer.
Hearing my casual remark, he left the words 'I'm relieved' behind him. And then that man, who was emptier even than me, died.
At that moment, Emiya Shirou had to become a superhero.
Any scene where Nasu spends a paragraph to explain a very simple idea.
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
As long as CP counts, the whole of HGW Grand Prix and Assassin part in particular.
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
Shirou only wanting to become SnM, because Kiritsugu looked happy.
7. Your favourite pairing (canon)
Not into shipping, but Rin/Shirou if I have to think about it.
8. Your least favourite pairing (canon).
Shiki/Akiha, because you know why.
9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon).
Can't think of one.
10 Your least favorite pairing (noncanon).
I don't know who people pair with whom, so I'll leave this blank, because I can imagine a whole lot of ridiculous pairings.
11. A character you can relate to the most.
None really. Out of the more prominent characters Waver if I really have to force myself, because he's relatively normal by Nasuverse standards.
12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Kotomine as the story got to HF.
13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
Gilgamesh as he got wanked more and more and Gilfans became a thing.
14. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
Nope.
15. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
Kokuto and Shiki hugging in Movie 7. Tohno throwing Roa's bragging back in his face.
16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
See 6. Isn't that pretty much the same question anyway?
17. A character you would fug.
A toss up between Sakura (worms be damned) and Blue.
18. A character you would hug.
Kohaku, Ilya.
19. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Answer.
20. Unpopular opinion.
F/Z Rider sucks.
21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why?
Ilya probably, so that she can grow up to have a normal life.
22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Zelretch or Aoko depending on whose time travel can be better utilized to visit different ages. If neither, then Taiga, because that food looks/sounds delicious.
Most of this is going to be Fate related material, as I simply don't remember Tsukihime well enough anymore.
1. Caren, because she's female Kotomine.
2. Saber, for the reasons Chris mentioned.
3. Hard to pick one. Here's an excerpt from F/HA - "Justice and the Kitten" though.
4. F/HA - "Big pursuit! Two teachers, an elf, and an apprentice", as it gave us some really good Kuzuki and Lancer dialogue, as well as Medea being adorable.Archer: "Take for instance, this kitten. It sure is great to be saved by a hero of justice, isn't it? However, inside the rescued creature's mind, a belief is now forming that, should it fall in trouble, a miraculous being will once again come to save it. And don't you think that would impede this creature's growth to adulthood, its evolution? The very idea of a 'hero of justice' being a self-satisfying hypocritical complacency that ignores all but the result, a concept that actually hinders someone, is something you haven't even considered until..."
Saegusa: "Kitty doesn't understand difficult stuff like that. Kitty likes Mr. Hero of Justice now, see?"
5. F/SN - "Rin-sama embarrassed", because of the fight Rin and Shirou have that make them forget Lancer is there, as well as Lancer teasing in general.
6. F/SN - Last Projection / At the end of a miracle, because Illya and Die Lorelei.
7. Kuzuki and Medea after reading F/HA.
8. Kayneth and Sola? Never really thought too hard about pairings I hate.
9. All of the Fate/Touhou pairings in Alexandoria's Touhou x Fate doujin.
10. I don't go out of my way to find pairings I hate.
11. Maki, Yuki, and Himuro, as I have two collegues where the three of us act like that.
12. Shinji, mostly due the RN changes.
13. Saber, if only because she's too in your face in TM product placement. Shame, as she got better overall with each route.
14. F/SN - Lorelei (second half).
15. Too many to list, refer to 4 or 5 for an example.Illya: " That's why it's impossible. You have to use Archer's arm to make what Rin needs. But you already know what that means.
It won't just be partial loss of memory like earlier. If you use it even once, you won't be yourself anymore.
You're just a bit confused because of everything that's happened with you, Sakura, and me.
So I'll forget about your offer. You know it too, right? You can't choose all, and you can only save one."
16. Not sure how this is any different from 14, but F/SN - Distortion (IV) / Winter Forest
17. Saegusa, for much the same reasons that ko-Gil pointed out in F/HA. Failing that, Medusa or Himuro.
18. Illya, for the same reasons as Shirou really.
19. What I said for 6.
20. TM will never release another non-Fate related series again, though it may continue to do oneshots.
21. Illya or Sakura, cause those childhoods were pretty terrible.
22. Not interested.
1. Your favourite character and why.
Kotomine. His entire arc in FSN is amazing, and it has an incredibly satisfying conclusion.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
Dunno, 4th War Hassan? Or maybe Zouken. They're just boring.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
"I don't want to admit it. But it seems... I like Kotomine Kirei."
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
Reverse Moon in HA, maybe. I'm sure there's something else, but nothing really comes to mind.
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
Shinji and Shirou going through Sakura's diary.
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
Illya saying goodbye to Shirou.
7. Your favourite pairing (canon)
Shiki x Mikiya.
8. Your least favourite pairing (canon).
Sieg x Jeanne. But maybe I'll change my mind once I actually read the rest of F/A.
9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon).
Sella x Shirou, probably.
10 Your least favorite pairing (noncanon).
None of them really stick out. There are a bunch of terrible ones, but none in particular that I dislike the most.
11. A character you can relate to the most.
Nobody comes to mind.
12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Surprisingly, Kotomine.
13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but Akiha.
14. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
Kiritsugu celebrating mother's day.
15. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
Shirou taking Illya on a search for walnuts.
16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
Shirou promising to Taiga that he would return when he gets older. (Archer needs more scenes with Taiga.)
17. A character you would fug.
Caren. If only she weren't, like, 14.
18. A character you would hug.
Illya. She's just huggable.
19. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Kirei vs Shirou in HF. It's just incredibly satisfying.
20. Unpopular opinion.
Kohaku End is worse than HF True when it comes to mood-killers.
21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why?
Shinji. Because he was wasted potential.
22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Holy fuck am I terrible at questions like these. I don't know, probably someone in close proximity to a heroine that'd be down for sex. Might as well fuck someone's waifu while I get the chance.
I really like Mordred and most other characters I like have scenes that I dislike, so I suppose Mordred for being a very straightforward person.
That fucking clown.
Limiting it to characters of some relevance, Rin. I was only indifferent at first but hype backlash over time made it worse, and recently rereading the VN made me realize that I really don't like her at all.
I couldn't really tell you why. Ask me in a few days and the answer will probably be different."Give up, you say? What nonsense. Humans have already given up from the very beginning.
Because we are not omnipotent.
We are creatures who can live only in such defeat.
And you, having come all this way, say this now?"
Gilgamesh's entire exchange with Hakuno about poverty was pretty hilarious.One eternally unchanging, or one eternally unending: which drawing deserves to be crowned the concept of "eternity"?
I don't think I literally cried but Julius' death in CCC was probably the moment that I felt the saddest at.
Kiritsugu/Irisviel.
Hard to answer because I don't think about those things much.
Shirou/Rin I guess?
Edit: Nevermind it's Tamamo/Hakuno, I'd just blanked out on Tamamo's existence as a whole.
Don't really have one that I can think of.
I don't read stories involving them so I can't think of any I particularly dislike.
I can't think of an answer right now.
Sakura, rereading Heaven's Feel with a focus on her character instead of getting to cool fight scenes made me appreciate her a lot more.
Probably Iskander, his speeches really don't hold up as well when you stop to think.
Isn't this redundant with 6?
Berserker keeping himself alive through sheer will just so he won't die before Illya finds him.
At the risk of paradox, Julius' death scene in CCC.
Again, isn't this redundant with question 6 and 14?
In the interest of variety, I found Vlad's transformation in Apocrypha to be really depressing even though the following fight was cool.
I don't understand the question.
I don't understand the question.
I couldn't tell you why, I just really like that moment as the beginning of the final battle.The shadow wavers.
In front of the crater, the Great Holy Grail.
Bathed in the ruddy glow, ---------- stands.
"----Kotomine Kirei."
Rin is an uninteresting and unlikeable character that drains the fun out of most scenes she heavily features in.
Vlad because what happened to him was genuinely horrifying and depressing, and unlike most character that get Bad Ends he legitimately didn't do anything that contributed to it.
Assuming we can also choose when, the user of the first True Magic so I can find out what it is.
I mean I could choose someone who's a lot more fun like Gil or whatever, but if it's only for a day I'd rather learn something.

Shiki Tohno - He's the reason I care about the Nasuverse. While reading the manga and later the LP of the VN, he stuck out to me as this incredibly human person who despite killing someone and going insane still values life and loves others. His love of life and his humanity endeared him to me more than his super assassin skills and murder eyes (though those are pretty cool too).1. Your favourite character and why.
Extra!Rin. She takes an originally great character and scoops everything that made her nuanced away to become a flanderized unlikable bitch.2. Your least favourite character and why.
"Hakuno. I told you before that this was your battle, but forget that. Your enemy is my enemy. I will assist you, nameless Master. From now on, I will become your sword!"3. Favourite quote or line(s).
The end of Extra with Twice monologuing about how war is needed for humanity to advance.4. Scene or moment that made you think.
Rin-sama embarrassed.5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
The ending of the Tsukihime manga with one final What If.6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
Shirou/Rin: Cute, sympathetic, and nondestructive. No sacrificing your arm, body, and dreams or living forever chasing after a distant memory, just a sweet and balanced relationship.7. Your favourite pairing (canon)
Hakuno/Nero: No particular hatred, but I've never read through any of Nero's routes, so I can't really support what I don't know.8. Your least favourite pairing (canon).
Shiki/Sion: Sion's first love was supercute. If only she didn't have to bail at the end of MB...9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon).
Shinji/Rin: It's completely illogical, and the two characters are entirely incompatible. Even if you rebuild one or the other from the ground up, it's still thoroughly wrong.10 Your least favorite pairing (noncanon).
Shiki Tohno: His initial focus on death when he first saw the lines is something that really resonated with me, alongside his resolve to keep living anyways as much as he could.11. A character you can relate to the most.
Shirou: Until the UBW elements started seeping into the manga, he was unbearably stupid, and the DEENime didn't help matters at all.12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Saber: I'm at neutral now, but the UBW announcement really did a wonder on me.13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
Roa apparently killing Arc in the school.14. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
The graveyard scene.15. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
Again, the ending of the Tsukihime manga in the classroom.16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
Hmm... Sion?17. A character you would fug.
Assuming I wouldn't get murdered, tortured or otherwise harmed for it, Ciel.18. A character you would hug.
Shiki killing Roa was ridiculously cathartic, but I have to go with Answer. As someone who always finds himself lacking resolve, Shirou's assertion that he'll follow through to the very end, that he'll never look back or regret and that he'll save everyone he can was extraordinary.19. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
The UBW anime is quite good, and ufotable has done a great job with animating most of its scenes thus far. Fate/Apocrypha is an entertaining and fairly good work, and its ending should only be judged after the entirety of the story is translated. Anime is not inherently shit, and liking things other people call terrible does not immediately make you a terrible person. There is more to Prisma than loli fanservice, and the seeds of the plot have been present since the first season.20. Unpopular opinion.
From the point of the works as stories no. But if the original stories could exist alongside the changed fates, then I'd give Fujino a shot with Mikiya. The girl should get a lucky break for once.21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why?
I don't think I would. I've got my hands full here as it is, and the day-to-day stuff of Nasuverse people is either boring or deadly.22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do)?
And terra hasn't participated in awhile in anything :x
The Hall of Selected Cruor Praise
Huh wait was 21 meant to be answered from the POV that the characters are individuals or from a story's perspective?
Because my answer was made from the former, but it's a really great scene from the latter.

O piteous Wanderer.
1. Your favourite character and why.
I don't really feel like I have a favorite. I have ones I most identify with, ones I like the design to, ones I like the power to, ones that make me feel all gooey inside, ones I like the character arc to the most...and they're all different.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
Probably EMIYA, for how much he goes out of his way to be a dick over something he doesn't actually even believe in himself. It's like being a forumite and offending ten people over, say, how complex the Hisui true end is, then saying "but actually I've never played Tsukihime."
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
"You said an older brother protects his younger sister, right? Yeah. I'm the older sister. So I have to protect my younger brother."
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
...does all of Mujun Rasen count?
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
See quote.
7. Your favourite pairing (canon)
Does George x the TM Universe count? No? Saber and Shirou I guess.
8. Your least favourite pairing (canon).
Sieg and Jeanne? It's cute...and that's about it. Does nothing else for me but give a couple of funny scenes.
9. Your favorite pairing (noncanon).
I'm going to address this in a fic at some point after Hidden Option, so I'm not gonna go there.
10 Your least favorite pairing (noncanon).
Gil and anybody. Yes, I know he's hot. No, he is not a nice person underneath it all.
11. A character you can relate to the most.
Tohno's worldview is by far the thing that I get the most. I was also sickly as a teenager. The super assassin and rapey parts, not so much, but yeah, he's probably the closest.
12. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Taiga. I thought she was flat as a character and only there to embody the aging big sis archetype, and it didn't help that Higurashi was on my mind whenever I'd hear her talk in the 2006 anime, but some of the side stuff and glimpses at younger Taiga have warmed me up to her.
13. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
While I wouldn't say I dislike her deep down, certain things have brought Saber down for me.
14. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
This seems redundant to #6, or #6 is redundant to this. If I'm gonna choose another one, Kohaku's reaction when Shiki brings up the ribbon.
15. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
Help, I'm stuck in a trunk with this hot girl and I can't get out.
16. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
Again with the redundancies. Another one? Uh. "...Nii-san, you knew? ...Then, I didn't, have to, hold back."
17. A character you would fug.
Something like,
Jeanne > Rin > Aoko > Arc > Sella > Sakura > Ayako > Alphard > Azaka > Ciel > Saber > Akiha > Liz > Canaan > Medusa > Kojika > Ryougi > Hisui = Kohaku > Touko > Caren > I'm sure I'm missing some oh well
18. A character you would hug.
Kohaku and Fujino.
19. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Probably the part in HF where, as Kotomine is about to punch Shirou's face in, he thinks about why he's fighting, "Get lost, Sakura can't smile if you exist!" and the Hikari to Yami bridge comes in and he screams and fights back and yeah, I just love that shounen shit.
20. Unpopular opinion.
lol I like ufotable anime.
21. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? Why?
No.
22. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Tohno. Hey, the girlfriend is in Japan for a year. I'd have a decent chance of getting laid.

Localizationing stuff
So someone has a persecution complex, because liking and disliking Ufotable have both been listed as unpopular opinions.
Which is it?
Ragnarok, come day of wrath
That fallen souls might bear our plea.
To hasten the Divine's return.
O piteous Wanderer.
Probably depends on which half of the forum you ask.
I say it mostly because the people I tend to respect the most on this forum dislike it.
