Prisma Illya

[Rafflesiac]

Starlog's the name of one of the OPs, I believe.

[naschyamamoto]

Yeah, it's the opening theme for the first Prisma Illya anime.

I'll buy more manga when I has the cash. In fact: I totally regret not buying that copy of Gunslinger Girls when I was in Borders the other day, although that's beside the point.

Has the Starlog been mentioned before? This is the first time I'm seeing it. What is the difference between this and the Moon Cell?

Moon cell is alien recording system it is a super computer.
It is not at all natural. Star log is natural recording system of earth. It records memories of those who died and born on earth. It's probably a new concept will be explored in tsukihime remake which I hope.

Wow, Darius really is an asshole.
I mean. We already knew that. But there's a difference between doing horrible things for supposedly noble reasons and doing those same horrible things with a smile on your face.

Seriously, Darius is fucking insane. Even Roa and Zouken have more humanity than this guy.

[Some Jerk]

Is it a stretch to name Darius the most depraved villain in the franchise? How did this silly parody offshoot of Fate/stay night end up with one of the biggest monsters in the setting anyway?

Unless of course we discover that he has understandable motivations within the next few chapters. Considering his past is tied to Pandora's, it's not impossible.

Even if it turns out he ultimately had good intent originally, I think like Zouken it's not even a distant memory at this point. The Darius of the present is clearly more of a twisted phantom than a human soul.

Because this silly little off-shoot of FSN...is a magical girl spin-off.


Of course it was gonna get dark as hell. That's the price for magical girls these days.

While we wait for the next COMP ACE release on the 26th (or 25th depending on time zones?), the proper 12th volume for Prisma Illya was released:

The tweet also confirms that, yes, the next chapter is coming out on the 26th. There is no surprise break this month.

Raw for this month's chapter

oh no

he's hot

[Quoren]

While this is massively necessary for context of this entire arc, I really hope Hiroyama is a bit more succinct in the flashback department than the Fox Tail author.

[Doti]

Darius definitely doesn't need as much context as Kazuhito but even so I really fail to see the issue since the Kazuhito arc from Foxtail was really good.

[bassgs435]

Oh boy. After Prisma Shirou, it's time for Prisma Darius. I liked Prisma Shirou, so it's fine. But still, this is gonna lead to complaints for all it's duration LMAO

[Some Jerk]

Flashback length after the last one is definitely a valid concern, but I don't think that'll happen. Shirou's flashback was as long as it was because we had to also go through all the AU Holy Grail context too, but in Darius' case all we're really missing is when/how he went cuckoo-bananas and how willing Pandora is in his scheme. I give this two or three more chapters before we get back to business.

[RootoftheDream]

I do love in a annoyed way how ridiculous Prisma Illya keeps getting. We keep thinking this ride will stop getting wilder but it just keeps going.

[Killua]

The chapter is up
https://fny-scantrad.com/manga/fate-...lya/chapter-64

[Some Jerk]

So this chapter is mostly just reestablishing the things about Pandora that we already knew. The only new thing is that we're seeing that Darius wasn't always a dick with an ego the size of Texas, he was a long-lived mage that later deteriorated into a psychopath -- so standard Type Moon evil magus fare.

Strap in next month, because we're probably about to witness Darius' descent into crazy town and it's probably going to be some serious shit.

TIL my ol' gramps was an alchemist


(That's an old-fashioned bookmark if you couldn't tell).

I also find it interesting that Darius apparently decided to dedicate his life, including some grievous bodily harm (don't stick your hands in the fireplace kids) for a girl he's barely exchanged five words with (what language were they speaking, anyway?). Good ol' fashioned Dulcinea effect or something more sinister relating to Pandora's divine origins?

he's a lolicon
