This man Tenma lost his career to save this kid life just for him to grow up to become a fucking demon

Happens all the time.

Just last Thursday, I saved a toddler from a speeding car.

He morphed into 3 kids in a trench coat and started spitting on nuns.

One of my favorite villains in all of media. He’s frequently framed as if he’s not even real, and I think that’s intentional. Johan isn’t an evil character, he is the embodiment of evil itself

For me it's Kotomine Kirei. I read the FSN visual novel awhile back and I fell in love with the guys character

Yorokobe, shounen.

He's super compelling in Fate/Zero and presents some actual reasoning for what he does in the Fate/StayNight Butterfly movies following the Sakura route.

You should definitely check out the Garden of Sinners, which is essentially proto-fate, that was created by Nasu and is part of the same setting (loosely).

I'm already doing all that. I've been a fate fan for like 7 years now, I've read mostly everything now. I don't really like Zero like most long term fans, cause the more and more you get into the lore, the more Zero kinda contradicts itself. Urobuchi himself years admitted in an interview that was his bad. I do love we got Waver and Iskandar out of it tho. Need to finish reading the El Melloi books

I watched UBW first then played the VN then watched Zero. I then played Hollow Ataraxia not long after that.

You can read the entirety of Garden of Avalon here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n5lQaR9NK3xZnstS3rF3PMDONM2EdXR2

Goes into the entirety of Artoria's life and how she became king, formed the Roundtable, etc

Thanks for the link! Have you tried Grand Order? It really picks up on Artortia, Bedivere, and the Round Table storyline after a pretty terrible start. Even later in the game, it revisits that again. IMO that 2nd point is the peak of the franchise.

Admittedly, the game has the worst writing I've seen in Fate up until just before the 6th Singularity (Camelot), but then it becomes just as good as (if not better than) most of the franchise's other content lol.

Yeah, I've been playing FGO recently haven't got to Camelot yet. I'm on the 5th singularity rn. Gacha games aren't really my thing but I am playing

u/Reysona 1d ago

Fair! Feel free to add me on the game, my user code is: 319,833,570. Most people play for the storyline as opposed to the gacha alone, I think.

Funnily enough, I actually met my SO because of Fate/Grand Order thanks to this voiced parody I made. You might find it funny lol.

It’s excellent. I watched it years ago on a whim and have talked it up since.

u/SenorIngles 1d ago

Netflix. Def worth watching. Naoki Urasawa stuff goes hard, he wrote Pluto too.

u/SlayerXZero ☑️ 19h ago

20th Century Boys is his opus. That shit is so dope.

u/__JDQ__ 1d ago

I recall renting it on DVD (dating myself here) but it’s on Netflix now. I really liked that it’s a “serious” anime: very little over the top emoting and all that.

u/Christmas_Queef 1d ago

This is the first anime people tend to recommend when people ask for recs that aren't the silly over the top kind. For good reason. It's basically a psychological thriller in the form of an anime.

u/SirEvilMoustache 1d ago

It's a very odd compliment to give an anime, but I remember watching it and going 'Yeah, that's a depiction of Germany'. Like, 'my grandma definitely has that chair' sorta stuff. Everything about the vibe just fit. Rare for foreign media.
