Under the TM paradigm Amakusa is plain wrong

thats unpopular for a reason
[04:55] Lianru: i3uster is actuallly quite cute
yeah because she makes up for it with anal
Localizationing stuff
Kinda yeah. Amakusa believes that humanity is inherently evil, that no matter the situation they will destroy all the good things they possess and harm themselves, thus he believes of bringing about the salvation prematurely thus take away the option of humans being able to destroy themselves. His views on it is pragmatic and shows his lost of faith in humanity after the betrayals in his life, though I should mention that what he wants to achieve is really a good thing, it’s just humanity must get their through their own effort not anyone elses. Really the end goal for humanity in Fate is a mix between Buddhism Nirvana and Christians idea of the World to Come.
also as for unpopular opinion. I like Scathach. That’s about it. The reason I like has partially I really liked her trial quest and I find it a pity the rest of her writing in GO doesn’t reflect that but I also like her from HA, where you get a better sympathy to her situation when you consider it a parallel to Bazzet’s as Cu hints out.
also I like every Servant and every concept of there’s. I mostly wish that everyone’s concept can get fully explored and realize and only get irritated with Servants when I see them get development for little reason compared to others.
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
Fate route is really good because of its simplicity rather than in spite of it
UBW route isn't very good until you get into the climax of the Emiya stuff
Heaven's Feel has good pacing
the cooking scenes are great
the Moon Cell is a shitty setting and the only time it's really good is CCC
Last Encore wasn't that bad
Rin's adventure in Zero was a good episode
Ciel is best Tsuki girl
mapo tofu is a shitty meme but the CG and the scene in the HF movie are good
Overlooking View is one of the best KnK movies
3rei isn't very good because it's stuck trying to be a mainline entry rather than a spinoff but doesn't have the intrigue to do so and it's just not as entertaining as when it's trying to be a slice of life or a Fate-flavored mahou shoujo, the Oath Under Snow movie is a drag and the arc in general just isn't that interesting, especially compared to the characters at play now in 3rei which, despite my complaints, are more fun to watch than a flashback
the Prillya anime in general doesn't look that good beyond some pretty fight scenes in s1
the CCC OP is the best OP in the entire franchise (I say this because Super Affection, the Vita OPs and the Zero OPs are usually floated around as the best, though I really like them too)
the Tsukihime anime OP is the worst OP in the entire franchise (I say this because right now it's popular to bash on the Last Encore one as the worst), with the Extra game OP as a close second and the PS2 OPs as slightly more distant third/fourth/fifth
Nero's voice is good
Camelot is good but it's not the best thing since CCC and certainly not since HA
All-Around Type-Moon is kinda boring, a far cry from Take Moon and especially Carnival Phantasm
I personally don't even like Amakusa's end goal because as Lelouch from Code Geass put it best, humanity would have no future, and it would simply stagnate. Also, what's the joy in a life where everyone's souls are immortal for eternity? Furthermore, it eliminates any choice to do good, which makes good meaningless.

I too like Rin's Excellent Adventure, and the cooking scenes are definitely popular. I mean why would they have a whole spinoff about Shirou cooking otherwise?
People on anime boards usually praise s1 and zwei as well animated and directed. I differ on both counts, though I do like the fight choreography in the midpoint of s1.
I mean, I don't find them to be particularly lighthearted as the route goes on. I took them more as moments to reflect on what's happened. I also don't think Vento Aureo is particularly frantic beyond the timeframe that doesn't translate very well to manga, even in binge reading and especially compared to 7 and 8.
I find 3rei great outside of the Prillya Shirou flashbacks.
Magni Beatrice stuff actually made me feel like I was reading something with the right flavor of a Nasu fight. Which is more than I can say of almost any other spin off.
But Prillya Shirou is just a watered down Heavens Feel without any of the investment that makes it great. So that stuff was all pretty boring. That’s my unpopular opinion.
Yes humanity would have no future if Amakusa went with what he was planning, but just to note that in the Nasuverse that end goal of his is a universal one. Humanity will reach that state someday, but they can only achieve through their own will and it will be when they have traveled through the stars. That end goal is as I said a mix between Buddhism’s Nirvana(Personal choice brings enlightenment and escape from the cycle of life and death) but applied to a species scale living in a situation similar to the Christian idea of the World to Come(Resurrection of the died, humanity leaving their mortal coils behind becoming purely spiritual and thus living an Eternal Life in Paradise). All of that is really a good end, just Amakusa wanted to do that when no one had actually achieved enlightenment yet and have reached the furthest they could gone thus causing humans to go stagnant.

Humanity will achieve that goal someday but they also have a destined end due to the Sixth. The path to surviving and making it to the next stage seems a bit too hard!
I wonder if we’ll ever actually get more on the Sixth.
Cool. I honestly think Nasu is a little too Enlightenment focused then in that case. Progress is good and all, but I honestly don't believe there is an end goal or a perfect state for humanity.

But wouldn't humanity invent the Sixth Magic in response to it?
Sieg was a good protagonist.
