This week, on “How to Read Life in Aggro!”—a weekly comment series where I overanalyze a comic everyone says is hard to read, but now seems to be purposefully becoming easier to read in order to make me less ironic!

I more say it’s “bad” because it’s a poor adaptation that confuses spectacle for good storytelling. It has decent-to-great fights, great animation, and a variety of servants and small character arcs I love when taken as separate things—but, in the end, the Light Novel is just a better story.

Also don’t listen to people being overly negative about the series, in any iteration. If you enjoyed a few episodes of Fate, you’ll enjoy most everything about the franchise—Fate fans just love to be hyper-critical of it, and absolutely can’t stand when other people take it less seriously.

Most people dislike the original anime simply because the animation quality is nowhere near as amazing as latter entires into the series.

So, ignoring the extremely negative person who replied above me:

Except:

A+ use of mendacious lmao

Ancient China sure as shit had black people, my man. They just weren’t called *black people*.

Didn’t Utada Hikaru get a bunch of flack, iirc, for cheating on her husband/being cheated on?

Allowing physical confrontation to happen is where you draw the line, obviously. (It’s also probably why winners and losers go to their own separate locker rooms and corners after a match.)

arguing whether or not jargon and language we use to express ourselves is adequate enough to express ideas and whatnot is Peak Academia.

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating a pop-off done right, I think. It’s just that people get caught up in the moment, or think that the ways they celebrate these things at home are equally transferable to the stage.

>> Writes well-argued—if subjective—article on the problems of genre, untranslateable jargon, and portmanteaus that don’t evolve or adequately explain the conventions that define said genres/made up language unless one is already familiar with them.

....Jackass was always filmed live and in person, what are you even on about? They’ve been arrested and banned from places around the world for some of their public skits; they just make sure to get legal permission to show people’s faces AFTER the skits are done, which is why some people are blurred and some aren’t.

Thing is, there’s enough evidence to suggest that (even including the Moors) the idea of a “White Britain” is ahistoric

Why are you replying to me

I am making judicious use of my Dismiss button lmao

I’d rather kowtow to people calling for an end to sexism, racism, and misogyny in my pretendy-funtime games than make a space where fucking racist alt-right neo-nazis feel comfortable, thanks.
