>>3584765I'm still bitter about being so disappointed with the VN. Went into it expecting something more serious, less shouneny. Even after being spoiled on all the plot twists, it still felt really kiddy
>>3584887Absolutely not. My main problem with Zero is that it didn't take itself seriously enough in a few instances. Some plot points were pretty lazily tossed together, and their relative dubiousness and plotwise convenience undermined the otherwise engaging suspense and drama. And everything related to team caster was quite boring and irrelevant. Great Saber.jpg by the way
>>3584894Kiritsugu's melodrama was one of the weaker scenes. I mentioned dubiousness earlier. I see what you mean about its feeling more "cinematic," but comparing it to Gayme of Drones is excessive. At least Zero, apart from team caster filler, has a consistent story with a purpose and meaning.
