I assume there's some explanation during the Zero wrapup as to why he never went back for Illya, and maybe her life wasn't quite as directly shitty as Sakura's, but it still seems like the most tragic out of all the characters of the Fifth War.

There's a really good reason

Everything and almost everyone gets fucked in zero. It was written by the same guy that wrote madoka. Ilya has nothing on Kiritsugu as far as tragedy goes.

Fate is not a very happy franchise is it? lol

Any time you guys mention Zero, I think of Re: Zero. A series that's playing (again) RIGHT NOW. So... yeah. It's also not happy.

I mean I don't need all my stories to end with rainbows and sunshine, but the Japanese really do like to tell stories that range anywhere from the grim to outright horrific.

No complaints there. Its nice to see people lose from time to time, versus so many creators putting their Mary Sue's into their story and being god characters.

This is the sole reason to watch anime. Lovable characters die and sometimes the bad guys win. Even when they don't there are usually immense costs for the protagonists.

Trigun was one of the first anime series I ever watched and I will never forget when Nicholas Wolfwood dies.

You know that everyone who died in the fate universe likely got isekai'd? It's like aliens and the US except it's reincarnation and Japan.

Probably one of the weakest episodes of Interspecies Reviewers. It had some laughs, but overall kinda lame.

This week's episode of Dorehedoro was hilarious, really captures what made me read the manga. Shocking!

I mean the 'haha turns out its not sexy at all' was an amusing enough reversal, especially with all the lamia and mermen perving out like crazy. They need to not overuse the 'embarrassed Meidri kicks the crap out of everyone' bit though because that is probably the single most overused trope in all of anime.

Lancer ga shinda is even a meme for TypeMoon themselves at this point.

I'll get bored and binge youtube, and various shit from UBW and Zero is always showing up in top 10 lists, so I figure I've seen at least 50% of the story by now, might as well watch the rest.

Well damn, they nailed the look of the first arc for sure. Guess I should throw some money at CR in thanks. Looks like they also got Noblesse and God of High School?
