Another two:
1. F/GO designs are a disgrace to most of the characters (dressing ancient heroes, who either dressed modestly or bared everything in non glamorous ways, like beef and cheese cakes and pole dancers? Really. I was willing to allow leeway for Scath, since her outfit was still somewhat modest, but when they started going full on anachronistic or just plain silly, like Captain Leomerica, they crossed the line) and should be redesigned to be somewhat more serious.
2. Nasu should Westernize and not pander to the Sankaku-otaku crew obsessed with t's, a's, h's and yuri. FSN was a novel with mature content, not effing nukige... pandering to Otaku's will only lead to most of the world seeing the few of us who like it for what it could've been rather than what it is look as bad as the people who go "Seiba Nero waifu best girl"...
Seriously, am I the only one Nasu had the potential to go full Harry Potter with this if he had opted to sell movie rights in the West and gone with a more serious, yet ironically less somber, setting?
It's basically a Nitro themed verse as it is (basically, a bloody awful horror setting with cutesy moeblob characters acting silly in between destroying abominations with overpowered SRW ripoff attacks, jokes and themes, with the occasional serious subplot or figure getting leftover attention rather than being the main plot of the story). There's a reason most fiction is HFY material in the Western world: we don't want to effing die, and fiction writers should ultimately keep the future of civilization being secured in mind as the one "unforgivable" goal even when they are writing horror. Case in point: Call of Cthulhu did not end with the world destroyed, even if the heroes had to give up their own lives for the greater good.
Well, this also reminded me of one thing: that RWBY skipped a bullet when Monty died, because the work was heading down the same "otaku fuel" path he often praised, and his death meant the story would have to take itself more seriously from there on in.
