Why does it feel like everyone except spiky hair and mashed potatoes is getting character development? Spiky is always like, I’ll do it and potatoes is always like haaaaai. Can the two of you have any other personality traits than that for fucks sake? I mean, if every other character were as depthless as those two I would be satisfied calling this a shitty show but that isn’t the case. The goddesses and even Gilgamesh are amazingly written characters filled with personality. then we have those two abominations. This just doesn’t freaking add up.
Why does Fate always have this problem with its primary character? Here it’s the pointy-haired kid. In Stay Night it was Shirou. Both of these guys share the same sense of bland idiotism of saying yes to everything. Just try harder, do better, blah, blah. It’s always more talk while everyone else does the work. I can’t stand these types of characters.
As much as I like this series, I just wish I got to see the whole picture. The story really has a lot of potential that feels underutilized. The worldbuilding alone is enough to house so much more, alas we get confusion-inducing shows like this. I wonder if I’d ever go down to the visual novels…
