This is Altria Pendragon, masculine and extremely muscular king of the Britons. How do you feel about her?

Her name sucks.

She's a shitty king.

Inarguably the worst Fate girl; just a cash cow, even that fact has been acknowledged by Type-Moon in the Carnival Phantasm Special. I challenge Sup Forums to contest my claim.

Protip: you can't.

Best Fate girl is Rin or Medea.

I didn't vote for her.

>Inarguably the worst Fate girl;
Probably
>Best Fate girl is Rin or Medea.
Spotted the casual fag

Her name is Arturia, fuck alternate romanizations

...

Arturia is an alternative romanization, Altria is the proper one.

>spotted the casual fag
Spotted the worm fucker.

Honestly I much prefer the upgraded version.

>Slim body
>Story says she's somewhat muscular
>Should have a slim body cause she uses prana burst for everything

Do we blame takeuchi or nasu for that?

Did Takeuchi come up with another Saber variant?

>saber with her no name spear performed 100x better than with Excalibur
>butt for a chest
>bigger mary sue than ever.
>Designed by a porn artist
Downgraded, you mean. Loin King's alright though

In what way is Seiba the worst? She isn't the most most boring (Probably goes to someone like Maya or Irisviel who isn't really interesting outside of being a plot device), she isn't the worst in terms of being a cunt (Rin in HF and Medea are cunts). So how can you call her worst girl?
Ilya is clearly best girl.

Basterized to appeal to disgusting Otaku who want to fap to her.
Pandering to the lowest common denominator

Technically this version of Artoria is a Lancer. No magic age halting sword means she grew up nice and healthy.

Arturia- Arthur
Artoria-Artorius
Altria-???

She's an ok character I guess, but all the cashgrab clones that came out are unforgivable.

Back in 2004, Saber topped both nip and western popularity charts, got the most fanart on TM's website, and sold the most merchandise.

When Saber debut genderswapped historical figured wasn't so overused a concept as it is now. And Saber's background was largely vague so readers could interpret her personal struggle between personal feelings and duty any way they wanted to.

Of all the FSN heroes, she was the most believable as a complex historical figure. Medea was simply a vengeful victim. Gilgamesh was arrogant and entitled. Kojiro wanted a good fight, Cu wanted a good master. Emiya was naiive and Heracles was nonexistant.

These days, Saber is pretty vanilla and boring because the franchise has evolved and metafiction has evolved. I think the worst thing that could have happened was TM-ing her history.

Been wanting to get into the Fate series. Do I start with Zero? I'll play the VN after if I enjoy it enough

>Basterized
?

She makes me gay.

THe generally agreed upon viewing order is Melty Blood ----> Re/Zero--->Fate/Apocryha---->Re:Creators---->Read the VN---->English dub of Fate/Zero------>Tsukihime---->Japanese Dub of Fate/Zero----->Fate/HOllow Atraxia

>Nasu we need another seiba with big tits, a blue one
>Ok I'll write it during lunch

That's the best explanation I've read in a long time. Fully agree

Felt pretty stupid since Nasu's understanding of Arthur's character was one of the few bright spots of the entire VN. Wasted it on gurrrl.

Nasu wouldn't even need to write it. Takeuchi probably already had it made.

You should probably skip stay/night altogether. The only reason to watch it is faggot Shiro, Emiya, Ilya being best girl and wormslut being a bitch.

stay/night is like a deconstruction of a formula you've never been exposed to. Most of the servants are uninterested in the war's goals, the war was sabotaged from the start, and the masters are half-assed schoolchildren.

There is an Alter version too.

The blond guy is Alexander the Great.
Saber's true name is Juan of Arc
Sakura is the biological child of Shirou's father (Who fought in the Fourth Holy Grail War.)
Illya is Rin's twin sister, given to the Einzberns because Magi have no use for another child.
Satan is contained within the Holy Grail and he wants to end the world.

There are multiple ways to get into the series. The best are probably either Zero or Extra.

She's a bro.

>Do I start with Zero?
The VN's a better starting point, but suit yourself.

>or Extra
Not sure if serious

I liked her a lot when I first got into the series, I really fucking hate how she became nothing but cloning material. Fuck Type Moon and eveything they do now.

People hype up CCC for a reason, and Last Encore definitely looks a lot more interesting than the other Fate anime

If you want to experience Fate in its purest form, start by buying as many Saber figures as you can while jerking off to all Fate doujins, and then just keep going. You can ignore the rest of the franchise.

She's the best, just
simply the best

Porn artist?

>Last Encore
But we haven't seen anything from it yet.

She is most cute when you add a little red to the mix.

>or Medea.
How did I know it was going to one of you fags with muh "perfect house wife". Terrible character with her only personality being "ara ara" and wanting to be the husband of the stalest character in F/SN.

I wanna cut her ahoge

That's alter.

This is Florence Nightingale

...

best mom

...

Why are her eyes red. Was she a Homunculus?

Are you excited for Apocrypha, Sup Forums?

It's certainly going to be an interesting experience

Only for the shitposting, trapposting and livewatch threads.

Question, what time is it airing and what day? I had to get up at 3AM for UBW episodes and I really hope I don't have to do the same for Apocrypha.

Only looking forward to the action scenes.

My favorite moeblob of the Fate series.

tituria was made by guest artist Raita

Why is it so hard to understand the fate/type-moon/nasu series

Why the Fuck is there some ilya loli prisma anime, why the Fuck is there an acroprypha anime, why the Fuck is there a grand order game/anime, when the Fuck is heaven feel or whatever it was called coming out?


I watched fate/zero > stay night and UBW


Whenever I see people post stuff about fate I don't even recognize some of the characters. And that is not even about the other type-moon/nasuverse stuff

I'm just watching to see my daughteru animated. And Karna.

>Saber with cowtits
This is the only version of Saber I hate.

NOT MY KING

I like her kid.

JANNU!

>I watched fate/zero > stay night and UBW
Here's your first problem.

So why is Jekyll shipped with Mordred?

...

What is wrong with that? Fate/zero was really good. The original fate stay night had imo a better story/setting but UBW had better fights. Anyway I don't want to play the light novel game just for some sex scenes since I feel that fate/stay night was already harem like and childish enough

Read the fucking VN, dork
It's a huge franchise though and most entries exist separate from one another

>I think the worst thing that could have happened was TM-ing her history.

I don't know, almost every exploration of Saber's history as King Arthur has been pretty great, among the best content in the larger franchise IMO. Everyone loved Lancelot in Zero, Gawain really stood out in Extra, Mordred was all anyone wanted to talk about when Apocrypha was coming (and likely will be again when the anime debuts). Then came Garden Of Avalon, which fully delved into the Nasu version of a bunch of Arthurian legends and fleshing out of a bunch more characters we hadn't seen yet, and IMO it was great.

You may have a point about at the time of her popularity peak it would have been a mistake to flesh her out too much, but I think doing it later as the franchise grew is why Saber has had as much staying power as she has. You say in retrospect she's kind of vanilla and boring compared to some of the Fate things that have come after her, but I can't agree because every new bit of the Nasu Matter Of Brittan we've gotten has made her more interesting to me as a figure in the setting.

Pick one for a Girl(Male)

no she wasn't

3am again. Fuck me, those early morning starts are going to kill me.

If you think that the VN adds nothing but sex scenes, I'm afraid you're gravely mistaken. You really should read it.

Given how Nasu has basically milked everything in the arthurian legends, I'm surprised he hasn't done anything with Lucius Artorius Castus, they guy most history agree is one of the most likely to be the historical basis for King Arthur

Do you lose anything if you just read it rather than download and play

Hello australia

Guilty as charged.

What do I gain from reading the light novel. I know it's a huge franschise and I want to understand the entire fate story / even more type moon stuff like that tsukihime but I don't understand where all these fate characters come from if they didn't even have an anime with them in it
Does it have actual fight scenes or moving stuff? Because it seemed to me like some dia powerpoint filled with pictures. What else does it have that the anime didn't include with night or ubw

Stop shitposting on Sup Forums you fucking cunt

You don't vote for kings!

Well how'd you become king then?

Normally I'd explain the benefits of the VN but you seem like a total waste of oxygen, so I'm more inclined to ask what do we gain from adding you to the fanbase for this franchise

I am already part of the fanbase. Well zero that is.

Also

>posting pictures of dead loli's

Not cool man

The basic premise isn't really that complex, and once you understand that, you could literally go with any series in the general universe and ignore the bad stuff (namely, Prisma Illya, Apocrypha, the VN, etc.)

So there is more to the fate series than the 3 bad ones you listed? Apocrypha is about to come out how is it connected to the other fate shows? But most important of all what anime, manga etc can I follow about fate and type-moon/nasu

This sounds like really basic shit you could just google user

For one thing, the VN is written from Shirou's first person perspective rather than the 3rd Person view we have as viewers of an anime. Being inside Shirou's head, hearing his inner monologue, understanding his weird broken self from within, it all adds a very different dimension to the story. There's also a shit ton of details that obviously can't make the transition from book to screen that I think are really worth seeing.

It's not fully animated or anything, but I think it makes good use of the VN medium. The images that go along with the text are iconic shots you'll recognize from the anime and the simple tricks that they used, combining sound effects and the BGM and using simple shit like manga-style SWORD CLASHES and wooshy lines and closeups on individual parts of the pictures and other such things all create a lot of atmosphere and makes the action scenes feel surprisingly kinetic.

Its worth giving it a chance if you liked the anime.

Ehhhh... I would personally say yes, but if you don't have the patience or inclination to do that, the Let's Play of the game at LP Archive is a really good one. You won't miss anything, there are youtube clips of the critical animated scenes and links to the proper background music. You'd get the vast majority of the experience from it.

I didn't vote for her!

Already did it once but it was unclear in what order to watch/read things

You don't vote for kings.

Thanks, I was planning on watching Zero to see if I enjoyed the series and wanted to commit to reading the LN

Ilya isn't dead, silly.

Well I am not really a fan of looking at pictures of characters standing still like that. I might just try it out for the "best" shirou experience and so I know more about the heavens feel route since there is no anime adaption of that one


Thanks for the info
To me zero is better than fate/stay so I think it might give you a wrong impression of the series

Well how did he become king then?

>implying

There is a movie quadrilogy (I think?) adapting the Heaven's Feel route on the way. I think the first one comes out sometime this summer actually.

Anyway, like I said, if the thought of staring at the characters standing still will the text comes up is that unappealing to you, you can always try the LP. Its formatted more like a novel. But I would give the actual VN an earnest try before you do that.

Just remember to save before every decision. F/SN has a surprising number of Dead Ends. The good news about that is that any time you die, you get one of the best things about the VN, a Taiga Dojo where Ms. Fujimura and Illya explain to you how dumb you are for getting brutally murdered.

>implying

Have you ever in your life read a book

She's a Heroic Spirit, she's fine.

She was staying at his place during the London Singularity, and they had a kind of brains+brawn, nerd+delinquent dynamic going.

STOP USING LN AND VN INTERCHANGEABLY, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Just remember to save before every decision.
Just use the flowchart PDF that comes with the translation so you can experience every ending along the way.

Only one version of her is.

Yeah I know about the movie but the ubw movie was very shitty skipping lots of stuff so I expect the same to happen besides flashy fight scenes.

What is the difference between LN and VN? Light novel is a book or something?

That last part about the way you died and why you are dumb sounds good tho.

I just think VN like fate is kinda outdated and hard to enjoy. I never played a visual novel but I have looked on YouTube to see what they were about and the one I remember the most was school days and that one had actual animation. I think I would enjoy visual novels like that more with animation. (would be sick if we ever got a remaster/remake)


But I guess I will go for it and look for a place where I can torrent fate stay night
