Is Fate/Stay Night the Harry Potter of Japan?

There are a number of glaring parallels:

>both feature nerdy/dense MCs, who are about to enter a world alien to them
>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in
>both feature magic and the supernatural
>both have crazy, power hungry villains after the MC's life
>both feature highly desired artifacts that can grant wishes
>both have huge nutcase fandoms that churn out an infinite supply of fanfiction and analysis
>both feature main girls with long brown hair who are extremely talented and knowledgeable about magic

Remember when Harry Potter was just an eroge? Boy, I remember those days, back before it all became movies and plays.

You forgot

>both have large young adult fanbases who insist on it's amazing literary value despite having read very little themselves

The moment when Harry got his command seal was the best. Should he go to the depths of hell, he shall never forget that moment.

>both feature main girls with long brown hair who are extremely talented and knowledgeable about magic

they both are cunt bitches with dirty anus by the way

No. Fate is full of shit that has no explanation and gets thrown in for whatever the fuck reason it needs to be in there. oh here's a thousand year old yadda yadda ancient magic muh servants,

My boy Harry is bretty good, though.

Did Harry Potter spawn a ridiculous amount of spin-off garbage money grabs that are only tangentially related to the main series? Did Harry Potter create a whole world that is only told through massive info dump exposition?

Nope...that would be One Piece

>Did Harry Potter spawn a ridiculous amount of spin-off garbage money grabs that are only tangentially related to the main series?
Yes.

>nerdy/dense MCs
Being nerdy isn't the same as being dense and Shirou's not nerdy

>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in

The hell is dangerous about a proper and prestigious school for magic? Especially compared to something literally called a War?

>both feature main girls with long brown hair who are extremely talented and knowledgeable about magic

literally who in fate?

Confirmed for not having read the visual novel.

Why are you people seriously replying to this pasta?

Harry Potter didn't start off life as a shit porn game.

>implying the VN is in any way a decent read
Nigga the only reason the VN was worth anyone's time is because of the voice acting and visual effects. If the Fate route got the ufotable treatment there would be absolutely no reason to ever slog through the VN.

Fuck off secondary casual. The anime was shit.

Aside from some moments the VN is very shitty.

Harry is shit.
Make yourself a favor and read the death of Arthur

The UBW TV series was superior to the VN.

>A bad adaptation of one route was superior

No

Harry isn´t nerdy/dense, he just doesn´t have a personality.

How is that in any way related, brudda

>Minimalistic fights used as metaphors adapted into Michael Bay explosionfest only used to look flashy
>superior

Wrong on all counts except #3.

>Minimalistic fights
Now that's bullshit.

Who is more easily baited, the average Sup Forums user or Donald Trump?

Same difference, same amount of brain cells

You're two months late.

Fate is shit but why do you have to be such a retard?

I know this is bait, but
>both feature nerdy/dense MCs
like most MC is any work of fiction
>who are about to enter a world alien to them
like most young adult stories
>both depict a dangerous, yet exciting setting that pulls the viewer in
like every fantasy setting
>both feature magic and the supernatural
wow
>both have crazy, power hungry villains after the MC's life
like most villains
>both feature highly desired artifacts that can grant wishes
MacGuffins

Sure they are different and the anime has more action (which has a lot to do with action working a lot better in animated than in written form) but I still wouldn't call the VN fights minimalistic by a longshot.

The real answer is Dragon Ball

It's Naruto.

1000 times this.

I think I've heard this before.

Long time didn't see this pasta.

Harry Potter is much better.
