What is the appeal of this confusing mess?  For years I have tried to comprehend the enormous popularity of this franchise and it has always eluded me.  It's not particularly well written, yet the anime industry seems willing to spend endless sums of cash adapting every possible route of a visual novel into any number of series and movies.  Who is the audience for this, and what do they like about it so much?

I want quality yuri kissing like this back in anime. It's so rare in general.
What's the appeal of any fictional story? If I wanted a story I'd read or watch documentaries about something real.

For me it's the catharsis: a shift in emotional state after a compelling conflict and resolution.  Unfortunately this can be a bit hard to achieve when your characters and plot are poorly written.

I like the one with the lolis

Shirou cool. Swords! SWORDS!
God, he's so GAR
Tohsaka a cute. Illyasviel a cute. Irisviel cute. Saber a cute. Sakura a cutie.
>comprehend the enormous popularity of this franchise 
that was your mistake. The franchise sucks. There's very little actually good about really anything in fate/. The only thing that it's got going for it is the occasional cool moment (usually involving Shirou. God he's so GAR.) and cute girls. Its all surface level appeal whose discussion is fueled by the influx of newfags and gacha-tards. The mistake I had when getting into the franchise was assuming any of the stories actually mattered to each other or even themselves.

Only time I felt that in the entire series is in fate/stay night. Shirou versus Gilgamesh works very well, if you can ignore some shit.

It's interesting that compared to the other two franchises that started in the same company (those both with a protag named Shiki), this one spawned undeniably more memes along the way. Why?
>>104897
How much yuri does it have? Considering watching Fate right now.

This place is dead and shit. Even cuckchan is better at this point.

there are multiple small imageboards with anime discussion and with their power combined they are far better than cuckchan.

watch just fate/prisma illya, other fate/ shows do not have the quality yuri it has.

It's about a 35 point IQ drop compared to here. There is frequent nigger ghetto babble that gets no pushback from other anons and there is no substantive discussion in any thread, every post is just memes, insults or variations of "imagine sex with X".

I miss the several years of most artists drawing Fate and Azur Lane girls instead of Blue Archive. Fate had the best gacha girl designs next to Kancolle.

Anyway I'm looking forward to Fate/Strange Fake. The ep0/movie made for an interesting start and I really want to see Waver meet up with Ishkander/Rider again. I wonder if Shirou and Rin will get involved in this incident too.

4chan now is Reddit's old userbase. 4chan's anons who cared about anonymity went to 8chan and were scattered post that collapse. So now there's no centralized place for smarter anons.

Being 35 IQ points higher than a 35 IQ still puts you in retard territory, don't pretend the webring is a shining beacon of intelligence when most of it is barely any better than 4chan.

You say this a lot anon.  Perhaps you'd like to contribute to the discussion?  Then it won't be so dead.
>>104937
yeah the webring sucks, good thing there's lots of better small imageboards outside of it (and no I'm not talking about 8kun or 8moe, they're even worse)
