>The whole chant sounds so fucking stupid
Only "I am the bone of my sword" is particularly stupid.
"Steel is my body and fire is my blood" is fine.
"I have created over a thousand blades" is actually catchy.
"Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life" is cliche and rather boring but not that dumb.
And the rest is average, except for the fact that "Unlimited Blade Works" itself is a bizarre combination of words (as it's very awkwardly using "works" as a synonym for "factory" there).
If it were just "Unlimited Blade Creation" it would be perfect.

Works = older word for factory, still pretty widely used

I'm sorry but Tolkein's writing is too long winded and a mouthful. Does he even have an editor? There are moments in the book where he drones on and on on useless shit that doesn't add to the story. He could have gotten to the point in one page but he ends up blowing up to 10+ fucking pages cause he thinks it's interesting to describe whatever damn food Frodo eats.

At least Nasu has the decency to keep his story rolling.
>>
>>142943756

Or, more likely, typed 'factory' into Jap to English Google translate and picked the 3rd or 4th entry to make it something obscure.

Because of Kinoko Nasu's ability to create a strong plot around the setting that builds from small details and individual points into powerful climaxes that thematically pay off the events of his story. Characterization is Nasu's greatest strength and the reason his works are so popular too. They are all top tier, no question in my mind about it.

What writer doesn't have the persistence or The wit to describe a character graphic scene that provides readers with a characters development. Every writer does this even in the fate series dumbass.

>at least Nasu has the decency to keep his story rolling

Do people actually think that Fate speech is good? It reads like a high schooler's creative writing assignment. He looks like he was about to ask what the hell this drivel was and if they were playing a prank on him.

He did the X-men movies and enjoyed them enough to come back for more. Think about how badly that speaks of Fate.

It only makes sense grammatically, the same way the word buffalo eight times forms a grammatically correct sentence.

To an English speaker the whole thing just sounds awkward as fuck and there isn't any pressing reason why it even had to be in English besides making it sound cooler in Nasu's chuuni brain.

As a stand alone chant it's fucking awful, much like all chants. It's terribly cringe inducing as some sort of tryhard "I rule" speech. There's probably some context built up around it that makes it less painful, but to people who don't know it's terrible.

I have 0 knowledge of Fate and I share Magneto's pain.

Maybe artistically, I would agree. Or maybe an author that novelised a title, but comic books against just a part of Tolkien's legendarium still have no chance in the writing department. It's not even fair for comic books.

>>142944854
>how can people who get so upset over small errors even manage to watch something in a different language

Because they don't feel the awkwardness in the sentences? UBW sounds great to me because I really like English, but it's still a cringe-worthy chant given you have no context like in McKellen's case.

Kara no Kyoukai is still impressive, very efficient characterization, since its characters are constructed to mirror each other in so many ways. I finished literature classic The Brothers Karamazov recently, and ot struck me that even though the characterisations in that tier of writing are fantastic, very often they aren’t done with the grace that Kara no Kyoukai does it with, and consist of long periods of ‘characterization time’. I'm not surprised it was popular in Japan literary circles.

Look, I like LOTR, but it isn't some end-all-be-all for stories in general. There's a lot of pretentious shit in there that you would fucking rip the ass out of if it was in a less revered work, and also many inconsistencies. It's a great story, but it's fairly simplistic when you break it down

>No one in the English Type-Moon community knows what they’re talking about.

>Spending my time lurking /vg/’s and Reddit’s Fate/Grand Order threads, as well as seeing various opinions on the recent Unlimited Blade Works anime has only reinforced that opinion. Much of the opinions I’ve seen on Fate/stay night – and by extension, Kinoko Nasu as a writer – are based on horribly twisted “common knowledge” and endlessly-parroted memes on Nasu’s knowledge of sexual intercourse and proper writing – both of which can be blamed on sub-par translations and adaptations of his games. (As a side note: criticism of the original work’s prose based on a poor translation is a whole other can of worms to open, but that requires an entirely different post so I won’t dwell on that here.)

Yes, but there are a lot of manga with better and more intricate story-lines and characters. See, I'm not saying a lot of manga is better than LOTR, but at the end of the day it's just fantasy adventure with no deeper meaning or philosophy besides some psuedo-catholcism and christian references

Thus, his life has no meaning
