Glorious Escapism Roleplay

I watched the first episode, and will be watching as many as I can from the boxset this weekend.

I liked it, but I can't make a clear judgement from just one episode.

Saber's hot.

Awesome!

Though it lacks the brilliance of the visual novel, the F/SN anime is a lot of fun.

I hope you enjoy it.

Yep. The anime is a great introduction to an incredible world filled with amazing characters.

Visual novel is better though, because it gives you the full picture and not just parts of it.

Very true. Saber+ Rin = Amazing, even with Shirou there.

Personally, more than anything, I'm excited for the Fate/Zero anime currently in production for probably sometime this year. I always wanted to read that... and now I can watch it instead. Should be so amazing.

Heh, well there's still no release date on it. All we know is it's sometime this year.

But it should be amazing. Prequel to my favorite visual novel. The best part of all is that the Fate/Zero light novel was written by the same guy who wrote Madoka.

Fate/Stay Night world and characters with that mind behind it. It literally cannot not be awesome...

..I agree. Imagine if he did an episode of Bleach or something? o.O

Well, he wouldn't be writing the regular Bleach story (that's Tite Kubo's job). But if he made a filler episode? That might be interesting to see. But then again, I'm not sure they're allowed to do too much in the filler episodes, so he'd probably be restricted from doing anything too great.

It might be more interesting to see how Bleach would turn out directed by Madoka's director. I'm not sure it would fit his style at all though.

Which is why it'd be interesting.

Yeah. That might be interesting to see how the ultra-stylized director Akiyuki Shinbo, famous for his adaptions of Bakemonogatari, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and Puella Magi Madoka Magica tried to direct a conventional shounen action manga.

It'd be like bringing in Tim Burton to direct a generic action movie.

Now that does sound epic.. XD

Then again, he did the best (in my opinion) Batman films.

I rather like the Nolan films better. Christopher Nolan seems to have a definite stylistic flair as a director too. Burton is almost style over substance sometimes.

Nothing generic about Baman though. There's a lot of stylishness to be found there.

Then again, I suppose Bleach has some interesting themes to play around with too. Under Shinbo, I'm sure Ichigo's inner battles would become a lot more interesting for one thing.

Yeah. I have a passion for seeing adaptations of work.

I'd love to see the artists for two so separate series draw each other's work once.
