Re: Anime General Discussion
When the Seagulls Cry was so awesome it was horrible.
Plot makes no sense, but the idea of witches being embodiments of chaos who love killing in the most grotesque and obscure ways is just f---ing amazing.
Plus the protagonist is a total pervert
Insane witches (that are cooler than Madoka), occasional loli, a perverted main character, lots of killing, and a plot that makes no sense especially because it ends in the middle of the story. Yup, it's got it all.

Re: Anime General Discussion
So remember how I said I was watching some series in tandem a while back? One of them was Fate Zero, and I've gotta ask something.
Should I be worried that Caster is my favorite character?

Re: Anime General Discussion
I know I've always liked villainous characters more than heroic ones, and normally I don't think I'd have a problem with it. It just feels like the anime is under the assumption that you wouldn't like him and is trying to kill him off as fast as possible as a plot device for the other characters' growth. Maybe I've just become too self-aware of the tropes and such in media, but in a very roundabout way it feels like the show is kind of chastising me for liking him so much.Soul of Stray Demon wrote:Nope, he's a great character, although I love Berserker the most.

Re: Anime General Discussion
Nah, I think it's more like, he's causing problems, so he needs to be eliminated. Not because he's evil, but because he gets in their way. He was quite expanded on over some of the other characters that made it to the end.Reaperfan wrote:I know I've always liked villainous characters more than heroic ones, and normally I don't think I'd have a problem with it.

Re: Anime General Discussion
Rider, Caster and Archer. In that order, are my favorite servant characters. I hate what they did with Archer though I mean its Gilgamesh the King of Uruk and they made him this evil and really boring... Dbag.

But right now it only feels like you kind of described just now. He's more of a plot device than a character, only there to be a force the main characters must overcome rather than a participant in the story himself. From what I've seen, he's had only one moment of characterization:
- Spoiler:
- When he mistakes Saber for Joan of Ark. And even that hasn't been touched on besides as a reason for him to seek her out and start a fight. A fight which the ultimate point of was a characterization moment between Saber, her master, and Lancer. The only thing Caster got in that whole exchange was an explanation of his powers, which were promptly and literally cut down by Lancer. His only role in that entire exchange was to be the catalyst by which Saber and Lancer deepened their respect for each other.
His only other moment of impact so far has been when Rider and his master discover Caster's sewer hideout, which obviously was a character development point for Rider's master and the catalyst event by which Assassin was discovered by Rider rather than anything to do with Caster himself.
Again, if he lasts long enough to get more actual characterization then that'll be awesome. It just frustrates me to see such a cool character, and as of now the only truly villainous of the servants (Berserker may be another contender, but I haven't been exposed to him much yet), get pushed aside as a plot device.

Oh, If you haven't finished yet, then you're probably haven't seen everything he does. He gets even more development then you even have seen yet.

Anyone here actually see Shugo Chara? It's probably one of the better "standard" magical girl anime's made.

Re: Anime General Discussion
Nononononononononononono I am NOT watching Shugo Chara. My girlfriend likes it and so I checked it out and then realized it's over 50 episodes. Yeah nope
I tend to stray away from longer animes. I'm more easily swayed by the shorter ones, 12-26 episodes.

Re: Anime General Discussion
Ok guys, if you haven't been paying attention to RWBY, go watch up to episode 8. Because Episode 8 is where the entire series shows what it's capable of, AND IT'S AWESOME.
Jaune Arc is very much my favorite character now.

Re: Anime General Discussion
So let's hear all your thoughts. Do you think anime should be mainstream?
