  1. has anyone forgotten that durarara's continuing though

    it gave us a glorious 13th episode last saturday where everyone found out izaya got stabbed and practically none of them gave a shit

    it was beautiful

  2. Excuse me sir. Please don't generalize the "christian religious community". Firstly, not all christians are the same, many minor confessions that exist in America are WAY more extreme than us catholics (which is saying a lot). Secondly, there are literally millions of people like me in Italy and all around the world. As I once said in another topic, "devout" and "bigot" are two very different things.

    The christian concept of marriage is reserved for heterosexual couples because it is a belief of the curch that the ultimate task of said rite is to promote reproduction (heck the italian word for it, "matrimonio", comes from the latin mater, which means, you guessed it, mother). However, as I clearly said in my quoted post, the religious marriage and the civil marriage are two very different things, so nothing forbids that hetrosexual people getting married in a church and homosexual people getting married in a city hall can coexist peacefully, without interfering with one another.

    This position of mine is shared by what I strongly believe is the majority of the christians all around the world, so again, please don't generalize. Lately badmouthing christians has become some kind of trend, and while I do understand that there are, in many countries (including my own sadly), some very vocal minorities who still think and act like people from the Middle Age, I hate them as much as you do, and I don't want to be confused with them. Thank you very much.

    yo i'm sorry if i didn't make myself completely clear but at what point did i refer to every single christian instead of just "many"

    I understand that the words I used may still be somewhat generalizing, and I do apologize for that, but I have seen religious communities around me abhorring this new practice and I did not intend to address and generalize the religion as a whole in any way. I tried to make it clear that I wasn't referring to absolutely everyone in my post.

  3. When it comes to how the christian religious community are mainly reacting to it, with many against it due to how it defies their beliefs and laws, I'm afraid I honestly can't treat them with due respect. Everyone can have their beliefs and opinions, but when those beliefs start silencing the beliefs of others, I'm not going to give them the time of my day. I'm not going to accept people saying that they and everyone else have the right to express their own opinion when their opinion stops others from giving theirs in the first place.

    On a lighter note, I'm incredibly happy and touched to see how joyous and celebratory many of my friends are; I've been sent pictures from some of my friends at a parade nearby and they just seem so happy to be alive at this time, truly expressing themselves without as much fear of oppression. IMO, there is literally no difference between sexuality and their respective marriages other than the sexes and genders of the people involved, and I'm glad that more people are starting to agree.

  4. Also, the last Fate Ep can be summed up with this really:

    I am the sfw of my H-scene, Censorship is my body, and innuendo is my blood, I have blocked over a thousand nipples, Unknown to Sex, Nor known to BD's, Have withstood ecchi to create many harems, Yet, those eyes will never see anything So as I pray, unlimited dolphin work

    it could also be summed up as "ufotable decided to use the realta nua scene instead of the garbage sex scene in the original VN"

  5. totally amazing spoiler

    oh my god i can't believe archer is shirou what a shock i'm so surprised i definetely actually fell out of my chair honest i didn't know it's not like ufotable wasn't even trying to hide it in some ways like the VN did ;)

  6. Finally I get to see Lancer fighting seriously in beautiful ufotable quality animation. That was the moment I waited for since the show first started airing.

    they made sure to show how he fucked archer up good

    i didn't really think they did much justice for rin kicking the shit out of caster though

  7. unrelated: Been using Gunlance, Dual Blades, SnS, and Switch Axe. Would use Lance but don't have a decent one. How would you rate the Lao set? (Gives Partbreaker. Mind's Eye, and Divine Blessing)

    looks pretty neat to me

    hope you have that handicraft talisman though, sharpness +1 is always a good thing to have

    i can imagine the set being a bit of a pain to get if it requires the horns you need to trade earth dragongems for though

  8. While I can agree with some of what you say here I personally do think of Shirou as a sexist person, so that aspect of his character wasn't so out of place for me. It's one of the many reasons I don't like Shirou. As for the forgiveness of Illya, again it's part of Shirou's character to be that way and if you don't like it blame him. To be fair Sakura's nowhere to be seen in UBW either, she's a completely forgotten character until you get to HF while Fujimura sticks to being Fujimura, a character who isn't entirely necessary in the first place (though I still love her). For me the story was much more about Shirou's ideals than anything else and while none of the three routes managed to make me like him UBW was the only one to make me angry at him.

    I understand that Shirou's character is the reason for Ilya being forgiven, but the fact that his character feels so misrepresented to me in this route is what makes me feel like there isn't really a reason for Ilya being forgiven to begin with. I wouldn't actually blame Shirou for forgiving her, and I can understand why he would, it's just that his writing was done so shoddily there that they didn't give any upfront justification for his actions in the first place, completely failing yet again to portray or develop his character in that particular route.

  9. By comparison in Fate

    even if Shirou doesn't drop his ideals, at least he gets Saber to realize that hers are dumb too.

    So Fate might even be my favorite one of the three. Not really sure, it's hard to argue with the amount of screen time Lancer gets in UBW compared to the other two.

    I have my own opinions regarding shirou's ideals in UBW but can't be asked to debate that so I'm just gonna provide my input on the fate route

    Only about 25% of the fate route actually contains anything I like about fate; the conflicts with Berserker, Emiya's confrontations with Kirei, TYPE-MOON setting up Kirei in a light that makes you underestimate him, Rin in general, and the battles with Rider were the only things I actually liked in the fate route. Everything else, to me, was horrible. To start with, Shirou's character is completely ripped apart and discarded, reducing his ideals to that one lone page in chivalry where girls are treated like shit (the amount of times I hear Shirou essentially stating "stay in the kitchen" in this route makes me cringe legitimately) and completely breaking any sort of like I felt for the romance between him and Saber; the only time Shirou's character felt legitimately portrayed to me was when Kirei made him undergo his "confession". Saber's background was done well here, but I feel as if the route didn't reflect her origins and motivations properly in the present tense of that route. Ilya's character is also horribly misportrayed, discarding her maturity, relationship with Berserker and experience as a homunculus of the Einzbern family and instead simply portraying her as psychopathic child murderer who gets forgiven with no explanation other than Shirou's already misportrayed ideals. Sakura's nowhere to be seen, and Fujimura didn't really have any involvement either. I feel like the only characters who weren't ruined in personality here were Rin, Kirei, Lancer, Shinji and Gilgamesh, and the last 2 are dicks anyway and Lancer barely had any screentime. The ruination of so many characters personalities in this route really dropped any attachment I had to what was going on unless Rin or Kirei was involved, especially since so much of the story is just Shirou being sexist as fuck to Saber without any legitimate backlash from Saber; Shirou's ideals aren't specifically based on the sex of the person he wants to save; him not wanting Saber to fight is legitimately fueled by his ideals, but using the excuse of Saber being a girl feels like TYPE-MOON's shallow blank check.

    Also, the first sex scene was one of the most garbage ones in the VN.

  10. I do now know that Type-moon was notorious for sexually-explicit VNs. Makes me laugh how they came out with Fate tbh.

    Type-MOON do a lot of shit right but their sex scenes are laughably horrible

    they're like the fuckin' birdemic of hentai scenes

    original VN, especially Realta Nua, is fantastic though, even though IMO fate route is far worse than the glory that is UBW and HF
