New Fate/Stay Night Anime Announced!

[bhl88]

What do you mean?

He meant: How would the Endless Four of an anime work? Will they make short episodes of boring loop?

Yeah, exactly, that's why I don't see it working.

Thus that's why Carnival Phantasm will forevermore be a Fate/Hollow substitute or the first Tsukihime, Melty Blood.....

[The Man With All The Cute Boats]

Fate/Hollow would actually be perfect as a PWP SoL fate anime, with the pilot being plotty and the season end being plotty, but the rest is completely random character stuff.

"Despite the fact we just saw a woman die and come back and some other stuff happen, here's some SoL about Ayako being the man of the relationship and pushing for a date with Shirou! And next episode, we'll forget ALL about that and Shirou will practically be making out with Sakura in the kitchen! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

Perfect, would spend muh bills on.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, I guess that would work, but I'm not sure just how popular that sort of thing would be, especially when the audience might not understand 2/3rds of the set-up (if they don't play VNs). I think you'd need a proper UBW anime and a HF anime first.

[Nerroth]

A new teaser video is up.

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, that's annoyingly lacking in any sort of clues on what route they might be adapting. It does seem worryingly focussed on Saber, though, with Sakura and Rin showing up much less.

I'm just hoping Sakura doesn't get completely forgotten about yet again. The Fate anime treatment of her was a joke, and the UBW movie just follows the route and, thus, ignores her entirely. Hopefully they'll do HF this time, since I'm not remotely convinced any sort of merged route will work.

Keep dreaming.

Look at popularity poll results. That's what's going to guide their show content and merchandising.

It's gonna be a Seiba-centric remake, to capitalize on Stay Night's lingering popularity.

No one is gonna buy the Bluray if their waifu is not the main. And Seiba is the most popular waifu.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, well, that wouldn't shock me, but it would piss me off quite a bit, because I'm bloody sick of everything being Saber-centric, and we already have a Fate route anime. We don't need another one.

If they do Fate again then why are they even bothering, aside from blatant money-grabbing? The story is going to be nigh-on identical to the story from the original anime, just hopefully better presented. Also, wouldn't Deen be a bit pissed-off at their anime being basically thrown out?

[waifu slayer]

It's like why they made Fullmetal Alchemist twice.

The announced reason is to "do it right", but the real reason is "make money off of the almost-same-shit twice".

Type Moon is here to make money, not tailor-make gourmet animu for you personally.

Seiba is most popular waifu, so they make waifu-hay to feed neckbeards.

[Cherry Lover]

It would be nice if they would cater to all of their fandom and not just to the majority, though. Also, I'm not convinced that making another version of Fate would be more popular, because people have already seen it, whereas HF is actually new. Sure hardcore Saber fans would prefer Fate, but I'm not sure the fandom as a whole would.

[waifu slayer]

The fandom as a whole care about Seiba way more than the other waifus. They are giving the fandom what they want.

[Cherry Lover]

They do, yes, but that isn't the same as saying they only want to see stuff with Saber in, even if it's the same stuff they already saw.

[waifu slayer]

You must have not heard of Suzumia Haruhi Season 2.

Neckbeards are willing to watch their waifu doing the same thing, again, again, again, again, again, again...

[Cherry Lover]

I thought that got horribly slated, though....

[waifu slayer]

Still one of the best selling disks of the season.

Neckbeards will bitch, but they still dish out money for merchandise. If they remake Fate, the vocal ones will bitch, but they will still make boatloads of money.

And that is what they want in the end.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, I sure as hell won't be buying any Saber merchandise....
