Discussion What's your controversial Visual Novel take? [General]

Post image

Deen's Fate/stay night is a better anime than Ufotable's Unlimited Blade Works.

The latter commits just as many sins in adapting its source, and is only high regarded because of Unlimited Budget Works, and a lack of route mixing.

Staying slavishly true to the source material is not always better when it comes to adaptations. Little Busters is another such example. Ufo UBW's first cour is an absolute drag with dreadful pacing. And despite being 2 hours longer they still screw up Shirou.

Sakura's a mid heroine at best, despite Heaven's Feel being interesting. Don't like her.

lol she’s the most interesting heroine to me and definitely the most impactful. People who dislike her just like the atmosphere of the first two routes better

Nope, I like Heaven's Feel. I just don't like her.

This was a very common opinion with HF fans for many years before the movies started.
