It's fanart by some Japanese guy. He also seems to really like Nanaya and Kouma. I'd get you the website where he posts all his stuff, but I can't find the link. Somebody'll come by with it sooner or later, I'm sure.

And Altrouge doesn't have an official design, but I heard some rumors saying that Type-Moon was working on another Character Material book, so who knows? I would give my left arm to see Crimson Moon's characters design though, my dreams will come true one day, I hope...

If your body is compatibile to Archer's then who knows? Maybe you'll have your left arm back in no-time. <snicker>

>but I heard some rumors saying that Type-Moon was working on another Character Material book, so who knows?

Isn't that the "Fate/Complete Material II Character Material" which is just FSN and follows the Complete Material I Art Material? There shouldn't be anything about the Tsukihime side of the Nasuverse. Or do you actually mean a new Character Material like the well known one?

occupation : shadow puppets?

Shiki can kill Berserker.

And that same series gave us Garcher/Garcueid.

Tsuki cast:
Shiki: Guitar/Harmonica. Can you not see him playing his own themesong?
Ciel: Piano. Ciel because it's the church's de facto instument.
Akiha: Violin. It's canon.

Fate:
Shirou: Drums. He can beat things and not much else.
Saber: Bagpipes. British, yes?
Archer: Project electric guitar, transfer GAR into musical format. Project awesome. Lancer is his bassist, Rin is on vocals, and Shirou's already on drums.

With an electric guitar, right?

His N.O Channel is beyond comprehension.

Okay, I REALLY like this one. Is this the same artist who does the One Day series?

>>98968
It certainly looks like something Fue did.

Because it is, guys :)

Sakura Thread Revival!
featuring Pokémon!

Glasses on or off?

Whichever you prefer, random Ragnarok Online girl!

(...Wrong thread?)

>>102801

No, just a mistaken identity is all. Mistakes happen.

>>102801

I thought it was Sakura. I've never even played Ragnarok Online, so yeah. My fault.

>>102818

Well, to be fair to you, it does look like Sakura. And the pink ribbon is usually a pretty big giveaway....

Oh, you silly people! It's obvious that Sakura likes cosplaying, so that is her RO cosplay outfit/appearance! :D

>>102839
>>102814
Riveting tale, chap. Do continue.

>But your original statement was "Sakura is bland", not "Sakura is bland prior to HF".

Again. I was not being specific because I had no reason to be specific. For one, she was not the focus of what I was talking about, and for two, I figured that anyone would understand what I was talking about, just as it was very obvious I wasn't saying Hisui goes insane or Shiki has no personnality at all through the whole game (that would be ridiculous since he's the protagonist). You're still the only one who figured that I meant that in general, and demanded that I explain that one particular bit. I still stand by how there was no need to be any more specific, just as there was no need to point out that Hisui doesn't actually go insane. ANYONE WHO PLAYED THE GAME INSTANTLY UNDERSTANDS THAT. You say people can't read my mind, but they did read my mind when Hisui did not actually go insane. Why is it only you who can't see it at the mere mention of Sakura's name?

>Because you did. Or, at least, it seemed that way to me at the time

I said something that didn't properly got conveyed to you (for the above reason), and I immediately clarified it when you made a comment on it. This is not backtracking. This is explaining things more clearly to a baby who didn't understand it the first time around.

>>102844

Shirou specifically states that he's not very good at alcohol in the beginning of Fate. Shiki's also a lightweight, and gets dizzy easily, although this is mainly due to his anemia.

Alright folks! Pick whichever T-M characters you'd like, as many as you want. And list what their favourite videogame genres would be.

in the meantime...
<Shirou, Saber and Rin were enjoying the beautiful sunset standing on the walkway of the Shinto Bridge, leaning against the railings>
Shirou: <looked to his left and saw Saber's calm expression with a small smile painted on her face> Did you have fun today, Saber?
Saber: <turned to face him, still smiling and feeling the warm breeze on her golden hair> Yes, today was very fun.
Shirou: <suddenly leaned in and kissed her on the lips, though it was more of a peck than a kiss> I'm glad you liked it. <he replied to her burning red face>
Rin: <who was watching from the right felt a pang on the back of her head> Hey, it was my idea to get you out of the house all along, you know? <she humphed and turned away from them, crossing her arms on her chest and making the face of a sore loser>
Shirou and Saber: <they looked at her antics and couldn't help but chuckle>
Shirou: <approached her from behind> Yes, yes, we appreciate your care, Tohsaka. <and hugged her from behind>
Rin: <jumped at first, her cheeks flushing><she looked aside, flustered> Well.. if you understand, it's fine. <and suddenly felt a peck on her left cheek> Hee? <she turned around and started waving her hands furiously at a running away Shirou> DON'T GET ANY FUNNY IDEAS, YOU...!!

Blaaaaaaaand. They are bland characters.

> Again. I was not being specific because I had no reason to be specific.

I know that now. If you'd just explained this to me, rather than spending ten posts flaming me for not being able to read your mind and then explaining it, there wouldn't have been an argument.

> For one, she was not the focus of what I was talking about, and for two, I figured that anyone would understand what I was talking about

The thing is, there are many people who do consider Sakura to be bland even including HF, so to say that no-one could possibly think you were claiming that based on your statement (which called 'non-Dark' Sakura bland) is utterly fucking ridiculous.

> just as it was very obvious I wasn't saying Hisui goes insane or Shiki has no personnality at all through the whole game (that would be ridiculous since he's the protagonist).

>If you'd just explained this to me, rather than spending ten posts flaming me for not being able to read your mind and then explaining it, there wouldn't have been an argument.

..... I repeated that explanation in nearly every single reply I made to you... I even quoted them one by one halfway through this discussion. I said it as soon as my first reply to you after your initial reaction. Don't you dare say I didn't explain it clearly enough or often enough.

>Actually, neither of those were obvious to me, because I've not played Tsukihime yet, and your argument about Shiki certainly seemed to be that he's bland in general (given that the entire game is about him, you can't really claim "I meant he's only bland in his route" like you are with Sakura, because every route is his route)

But... That's precisely why you should play the thing before making assumptions like that that turn into flamewars like this. With this, it makes perfect sense when I say "this should have been obvious to anyone who played the game." And I did say "anyone who played the game" so don't start saying I'm backtracking.

>Except that I haven't played Tsukihime, and there certainly exist people who would claim that Sakura is bland even during HF, so there was no way for me to tell that you were being 'generic'.

Yes, yes you did. In the form of "you're such a fucking dumbass you can't even read my mind".

Oddly enough, I don't like being called a dumbass....

>But... That's precisely why you should play the thing before making assumptions like that that turn into flamewars like this. With this, it makes perfect sense when I say "this should have been obvious to anyone who played the game."

Except that my response had precisely fuck all to do with Tsukihime. If I'd started making assumptions about that then, yes, you'd be justified in making that statement, but everything I said was about FSN, which I have played. Other than that, I just took everything you said about Tsukihime at face value, since I didn't think it mattered to the discussion, which was about Sakura.

You didn't know that?

>I'm listening.

It's not just the crusades they took part in, it's how they were hunted down, torched to death, tortured to hell and back for years until they admitted they adored some devil goat icon, and all those things that look exactly like a witch hunt. When mentionning them, I was thinking of how the Church turned against them and all the things they did to them.

>>102843
That's the joke! Moron.

>>102841
What ? Since when are we talking about religious freedom ?

We were talking about that I thought that they disappointed me with simplifying the whole persecution over the burning of Rome and how the the other guy was fine with that because of his own reasons. Religion came up for a different reason.

Also, I'm a moral relativists and I always ask people to see it from perspective of the people they're judging, but there is stuff that you know is universally bad, no matter the times or traditions, like persecutions and killing.

Hell, if you argue that what Nero did wasn't evil, how about we celebrate the Crusades and the Holocaust ? There are no grey areas there. There was no motivation with tradition or religion to do something morally ambiguous. There wasn't a war based on complicated and ancient animosities between two nations with culture different than ours. He was simply throwing people to lions to save his own ass.

Why do I even have to explain this to you ? The guy behind mini-holocaust = bad.

Except that we don't know why he persecuted the Christians. Hell, I'm not even sure if we know that he did. It could be that he was indeed doing it to save his own ass, or it could be that he did it because he saw them as a genuine threat, which whilst not good, is hardly unusual for his time. Or, it could be that the public essentially forced him into it, giving him little choice but to do it or be overthrown by an angry mob.

>So your point was... what exactly ? They weren't a part of the Church and turned on them, went against its will etc. And the church of the middle ages what we were discussing at the moment.

Eh, you mentionned how there wasn't actually all that much persecution by Christians and they really did not support torture and only locked you for a while until you renounced your heresy. I just pointed out that, if looking at the example of what they did to the Templars (only an example) saying torture had enemies within the Church is pushing it just a little bit. Just a comment in passing, don't look too much into it.

>>102850

>Except that we don't know why he persecuted the Christians.

Actually, we do know why: to kill two birds with one stone. He could get rid of the blame AND a quickly expanding sect that supposedly practised cannibalism.

>Hell, I'm not even sure if we know that he did.

Umm... what ? Did you miss a history class or what ?

>which whilst not good, is hardly unusual for his time.

We weren't talking whether or not it was unusal. For that matter we weren't talking about religious freedoms. Do you write random things that come into your head ? I said it was bad. You just admitted that it was bad. Why can't you say that instead of running in circles.

>King Philip IV of France. Read about him yourself. Sorry but I don't have any more strength to explain this.

... Dude, I don't care, you were saying the Church counted enemies of torture and just locked you down for a while, and that's false. The templars are an example.
It'd be nice if you stopped actig like Christians were saints, be it in Nero's time or in the Templars's time.

>>102857

>Did you miss a history class or what?

Nero is a emperor without contemporary historical sources, so that was his point.

>>102857
I don't think that the holocaust happened in this Nero's story. Seems like all the evil deeds, like she causing Rome's fire was fabricated by her haters years later.

GALLONS OF SPERM

>>102508
Sir,you really REALLY REALLY made my day,
Thank you so much.

From Takeuchi's blog. Dude improved.

>>102508
Awesome.

Still, shouldn't it be

Duas tantum res
Anxius optat
Panem et circenses

?

BTW, What does that latin text mean??

>>102592
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

Duas got replaced with Vas (vase ?) and circenses was replaced with curseses (curses).

Direct translation would;

two only occurrence uneasy longed for, bread and circuses.

Anyone know the correct sentence structure/grammer?

I would guess
"The only two occurrences I uneasily longed for were bread and circuses"

>>102621
See >>102597 It has it.

>>102623
Ahh, I see. Thanks, I guess I wasn't far off. haha

>>102621

Well yours might not be too far off either. Seeing her personality, but since it is a japanese game one might not be sure if it was intented or not. Sure love me some ratin though

>>102660

Sir, you made my day. Thanks.

does the soundtrack include scans?

>>102629
Any high quality image of this? thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

Was kind of wondering that too. I have the box, and she's not mouthless on mine.

There. Now no one has mouths. Balance is restored.

<cough> your Fate/Tsuki waifu thread <cough>

Fate: Holy shit! Im sad but this stroy seems fuckwin. Roll on next routes.
UBW True: This is the best ending ever.
UBW Good: Kinda feels a bit forced but hey I'll roll with it.
HF True: Meh...
HF Norm: Meh....should have gone with Mind Of Steel.

>>102656

>UBW Good: Kinda feels a bit forced but hey I'll roll with it.
>HF True: Meh...

Seriously? Everyone knows that HF's True is alot better than UBW Good.

>>102724

Did you not read this bit?

>HF Norm: Meh....should have gone with Mind Of Steel.

I think his attitude towards Sakura and HF in general should probably be pretty damn clear from that statement, really. He's one of the people who went "oh, Shirou wants to save everyone, so obviously he's going to jump at the chance to sacrifice Sakura because she might kill innocents at a later date"....

Anyone who considers MoS to be a better ending than the HF endings isn't likely to consider HF True better than UBW Good either....

Arc Normal: "hmmmm. I guess I should feel sad?"
Arc Good: "Meh"
Ciel True: "Yes, a Heroine I actually can care about! It turns out Arc is much better as a supporting character/rival! This route kicks ass!"
Ciel Good: "Not this bullshit!"
Akiha True: ;_;
Ahiha Normal: "and I thought the True ending was sad..."
Hisui True: "Wow...just wow..."
Hisui Good: "A (semi)happy end I can support!"
Kohaku: "a bit anti-climactic for the last route..."
Eclipse: "Wait who? Oh yeah. Well that sucks I guess."

Fate: ";_; That was awesome, great route, great heroine, great ending. Now onto the good end...wait what?!"
UBW true: "FUCK YEAH route! They could've done a better job developing Rin as a love interest though..."
UBW good: "I'll forgive them because Saber didn't get a good end"

Actually, it does have sense if you think about it deeply, though that only my reasoning. But enough of that.
Let's continue with the feelings.

False. (HE'S A TRAP)

He's a pretty boy. Nasu didn't make that up himself, either.

Maybe they gave him a hair style comparable to Saber to make it seem more natural that people wouldn't realize Saber is a girl, if that hair style can be worn by a guy like Bedivere? And in backlash, people here thought the hair style made him a woman?

I never once believed that the Bedivere who showed up at the end of Fate (and the series) was a woman. Specifically, the facial structure gave it away that he was a man, not to mention his height and seeming build. The only thing feminine about him is his hair, really.

And the fact that he was originally voiced by Mamiko Noto.

But yes, man. They even changed his voice actor in Realta Nua to an actual male to help people along with that fact.

>>102694

Probably because Deen knew no better lol

>>102695
Nasu and Takeuchi chose the voice cast.

>>102694

Is Bediveres voice actor the same in the VN's Fate Rout Ending and Realta Nua? And if yes who is he? (I couldn't find any references)

>>102704
See >>102694

>They even changed his voice actor in Realta Nua to an actual male

Japanese wikipedia says Miki Shinichiro did Bedivere in Realta Nua (He's the voice actor for Sasaki). Haven't played it in a while, but that does seem to be pretty accurate from what my memories tell me.
