anime - why can't I stop thinking about Arashi?

So I gave up on Fate/Stay Night and Unlimited Blade Works and started on this sports anime called Haikyuu because I wanted to watch a sports anime.

LOL! Arashi everywhere! XD

oh, it seems Fate/stay is very popular but I have never seen it... was it too boring? slow?

I still have to watch the third new movie of Evangelion but I was so confused with the second one!!! the story changes so much compared to the original series, now I'm not sure where all this is going :S

It's exactly because Fate/Stay Unlimited Blade Works is one of 2014's top action anime and popular, that's why I gave it try (and I tried Fate/Stay Night which came out earlier too). The action sequences in Unlimited is absolutely top notch! It's not boring, the opposite actually. But it's based on some game/novel/etc and have three (I repeat, THREE) possibilities and thus makes it so tiring and sad to follow each one which starts off the same but ends differently. The main plot is pretty much the same, masters and their servants fighting for the holy grail, but it's what happens in between and during the story progression that is disheartening because in one (Fate/Stay Night) the protagonist falls in love with a person and in the others (Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel) he falls in love with a different person each. Most of the characters are all there with their backstories which depending on the series gets revealed or not, and their fates in each one differs too. In this case all three possibilities are true, just ( ... )

wow!!!!! that sounds pretty amazing O.O!!! and I'm all into "dark and twisted and disheartening" stories :P I'll give it a try! ^--^b I should start with Stay night, right ( ... )

I finished Haikyuu!! Well, the first season. The second season will be coming out in the fall and I can't wait for it patiently enough T__T. I binged it and it was awesome!

Wow, it's great that you're interested. Yep, Fate/Stay Night, the first path, came out years ago and the animation may be a bit old fashioned. The second path is Unlimited Blade Works and third is Heaven's Feel (which I think is only a movie). There's also Fate/Zero which is the prequel (happens 10 years prior) but I recommend you to only watch this afterwards because it's unnecessary unless you just want to know much more about the previous holy grail war. Do give Fate/Stay series a try in the future when you're in the mood and it'll be fun to know what you think.

I'm surprised about Evangelion. I thought the series was 100+ episodes and while I do love those overly long series its hard to start something that daunting. If the original series is only 26 episodes then I guess I'll give it and a go soon after I stop mourning over Haikyuu not being out soon enoughI ( ... )
