Recommended Type-Moon Fanfics Discussion II: Electric Boogaloo

[shiningphoenix]

How in the world do you com to the conclusion that Eva is gritty

Because 'gritty' is a word that gets attached to 'grim'.

[SeiKeo]

Yes and that's retarded and shows you aren't actually using the words to mean anything.

[Ergast]

how is he potentially dangerous, 0% sync ratio

Because he was the last guy who caused an impact (well, a pseudo-impact) and the Eva only he can sync with (Yui is picky like that) is, at that moment, the only awakened Eva. Also what eddyak said. If he isn't dangerous... why put him an explosive collar?

If he is dangerous, you want for him to like you. And if he isn't, you don't have any reason to do it. But if you do, at least give the freaking trigger to someone who can actually pull it.

"Shinji's misery must always increase" is the EVA-equivalent of the second law of thermodynamics.

[Rgal]

"Shinji's misery must always increase" is the EVA-equivalent of the second law of thermodynamics.

That somehow doesn't sound so different from Fate/Stay Night.

[SeiKeo]

Because he was the last guy who caused an impact (well, a pseudo-impact)

by sycing with eva

and the Eva only he can sync with

the thing that he can do right now

Also what eddyak said. If he isn't dangerous... why put him an explosive collar?

because misato has a crippling guilt complex regarding her complicity in egging shinji on into 3rd impact and wants to show everyone that she's totally over it and is willing to do anything to stop it from happening again, as is the stated goal of her organization.

But if you do, at least give the freaking trigger to someone who can actually pull it.

except for eps 25, 26, and also the ending of end of eva, all of in which he does not get more miserable.

[shiningphoenix]

The difference is the third law of EVAdynamics: "There is no Shirou, there is no Rin, there is no Saber, etc."

hahahah I went back to rewatch a few parts of 3.33 and when he's in flying ship thing WILLE made Shinji wear Crocs

I'm going to rebuke all your arguments with one of mine, then. Seeing how he definitely syncs with an Eva later, he can sync. So yeah, he was potentially dangerous, and yeah, Wille fucked it big time.

Hey, the crocs are cool, if only because Caim wear them, too (given, it may be that Caim makes them look good while mass murdering armies)

[Kuradora]

Well, one can't make fun of Caim's fashion when he can drown people in dragon's breath.

[ItsaRandomUsername]

Not enough fanfic recommendations going on here now, guys. Hint, hint.

Crocs are terrible, it's just that no-one has the courage to tell him after what happened to the last guy's to mock his fashion sense:

So, I think people should read that Prisma Illya thing. It even got an anime that one time!

+1 The Hearts of Suffering, by Arashi Leonhart.

A 6th War fic, featuring Waver, Rin, and Shirou. By the time of writing this review, only four chapters have been written so far, but that's still about 14k words.

It's yet another well-written fic by Arashi, so I'll skip over the usual "good writing/dialogue/character interactions/etc." and move onto the details. The Shirou/Saber interactions are interesting to say the least, and the Clocktower politics are done realistically and in a way better than I've seen in most other fics. Clocktower politics are always fun. So far, the story seems quite well thought-out, and it's one of the more promising fics in recent memory.

[Christemo]

Whatever happened to Tainted Ideals? Coz I'd give like +111 to that shit. Even if it killed my husbando.

[Kirby]

Stormedge hasn't been on for a while. Consider it comatose.

[Imperial]

Meh, pretty sure Karna was bound to return in some way. The story didn't seem to be finished with him yet.

Aside from that I don't think Edge is going to update anymore. But what do I know, his fic had died and come back to life more than once.

Still, give it a +1. The story deserves it. But his other idea for the story was better :P

What other idea? That offhand mention of a nightmarish parallel world where Shirou K. teams up with Gilgamesh for maximum evil?

[Rafflesiac]

But still makes sure to have tea with Rin and Saegusa.

[Imperial]

Maximum "flesh" and "entertainment", but yes.
I liked his idea of perpetual summonings of Saibah just to make Goldie happy.
That was bona fide evil genius.

That was too much for my taste.

It's a very thin line, but I will hold up stories that deal with dark themes while disparaging anything that goes too far. Stormedge's Shirou-and-Gilgamesh bit sounded more like a morbid joke than anything else.

A recommendation for Tomb of the Sun God by Bloble

It's the midst of World War 2, and a ancient disaster buried deep in Egypt is ready to go off, changing the fate of magic, and the world! Our protaganist, a "Scribe" who's duty is to record such ventures, is taken off to Egypt. Where he, an Archibald, and an Atlas Alchemist have to find the source before it's too late. All while dealing with curses, church zealots, and good old fashioned traps.

It's Indiana Jones in the Nasuverse. What's not to like. Fun two-fisted pulp action with a sufficiently entertaining nameless narrator. Action, wit, danger and all that.
