When you talk to someone and they seem boring as fuck. It’s not that they are one dimensional, you just don’t have the right personality to unlock the multitude of layers they may have.

Fate/Grand Order -First Order- was Horrible

(Spoilers for Fate/Grand Order -First Order-. Don’t watch it.)

I love the Fate series, both Zero and Stay Night, so when this came out I was pumped. I knew it was based on the game, but even so I was confident considering Fate/Stay Night was based on a eroge for crying out loud. Boy was I disappointed. This has got to be the worst 72 minutes of anime I’ve watched in a long time. I know its not finished, so I’ll count this almost as I would a first episode to an anime. Obviously, this doesn’t excuse some of the blatant problems with it.

This is a staple case of shitty generic protagonist. Many people also hate on Shirou from Stay Night for this, and they’re not entirely wrong, but at least I got some semblance of personality from Shirou. The same cannot be said for - hold on let me look up the name of the protagonist - Fujimaru. The extent of his character development is that Mash gives him a boner. Notice how during the entire episode he doesn’t act for himself and instead acts for Mash. When he runs into the burning building, he’s not doing it because he is a hero, he’s doing it to save Mash. He doesn’t even try to help anyone else. His peek character moment is being told (yes he doesn’t come to this conclusion himself) that he shouldn’t look away (symbolizing abandoning Mash) and should instead support her. Then he goes and literally just offers moral support. The key is his entire character is reliant on Mash.

Just a quick side note, Mash isn’t a bad character I actually liked her. She didn’t blow me away or anything but she didn’t really have any big character moments either. I think she could be a solid character to follow through a series.

While Mash was at least interesting and one-dimensional, all other character shown were purely one-dimensional tropes. That one girl is the bitch student council president. The doctor guy is the quirky scientist / guy who enjoys food and slacking off but shows up when it counts. The mascot character, which literally just exists to show the character where the other character is (clearly a game mechanic that they directly incorporated when they shouldn’t have). The bad guy had a random-ass reveal and a generic destroy the world plan. Why? Well humans are waste and blah blah blah. 

Finally, I just want to say that the exposition in this show was the absolute worst. I understand that this is a very complicated futuristic sciency facility and so exposition will naturally be horrible, but don’t bullshit me and tell me no one has briefed this fucking teenage about the facility they took him too. I know you want ultimate waifu to tell us a story, but it really makes no sense. The worst bit, though is that I believe they continued to deliver exposition after everything made sense. The doctor dude asked if him and main character could be friends, and then immediately started spewing exposition. Maybe if these characters had any personality at all they could talk about something other than the setting? It also infuriated me when Caster spelled out bit by bit why it was logical for them to team up even though its plainly obvious to anyone past the third grade that if you have a common enemy you team up.

Don’t watch this anime, even if you are a fan of the Fate series. It is not at all worth your time.

TLDR:

The main character personality is that he wants to mash Mash. All character are one-dimensional and Mash is the only one with a somewhat interesting personality. The exposition is painful, and it continues past the point where we know whats going on. This anime was garbage. Don’t let your kids watch it.

I don’t really understand how something can be 4th dimensional. Cause when I envision the 1st dimension, I see it as existing on the x axis. When something becomes 2 dimensional, it exists on both the x And y axis. It’s able to be more than just a line, it can be circles and squares and triangles and curves.

When it gains the 3rd dimension, you add the z axis. Now you can be more than just a square, you can be a cube. You could be a flat circle, or you could be a sphere. You can be pyramids and all sorts of unthinkable shapes. You can be a complex amalgamation of circles and triangles and ovals and cubes and cylinders. And we can break and stretch our entrails out from ourselves and unravel. We are swirling clay and sinew roiling skyward and braiding into beings that the one dimensional likes can never comprehend. We can change it ways that second dimensional shapes can begin to comprehend, in the way that they can comprehend the changing of their colors or the way they morph and slide along their axis, while one dimensional dots and lines would break before they ever understood what we are like, only able to exist as Morse code. We are dust that bends and bleeds and opens and then folds back into ourselves to heal. We are what happens when the earth kisses the sky and electric passion sparks and strikes between them. We grow and twist and sing of ourselves as we sing of our dreams.

All of this is to say my only chance of surviving staring into the face of a lovecraftian horror is my unconcerned and blasé nature.
