I'm by no means a good writer, but I could take a look at it.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing any image under the spoilers. Maybe it's broken?

Hollow Ataraxia happens after Fate... But that one is a fandisc and story-wise it doesn't have a lot to offer. It will give you more of the FSN characters, though. Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra CCC are PSP games and don't really have anything to do with the main universe of the series, other than having a few cameos... CCC is like the best thing ever if you're a Sakura fan, though. Fate/Zero is a prequel-sequel anime, dealing with the story of Emiya Kiritsugu and the previous holy grail war. The Fate series is generally linked to Tsukihime and Kara no Kyoukai, and people slap them together as the "Nasuverse" - Tsukihime is more dated than Fate and the stories going on are unrelated, but they're of the same type and have the same atmosphere (I'm yet to meet someone who likes one and doesn't like the other, lol.) After you read Tsukihime you can also watch the Carnival Phantasm anime, which is a crossover between Fate and Tsukihime and quite possibly the most rolf thing I've ever watched. Kara no Kyoukai is a great series of anime movies, too. While you'll see very few relations between characters in those series, they all share the same lore, so to speak. If you don't mind older art, I'd definitely start with Tsukihime (the VN. The tsukihime anime is probably one of the worst abominations I've seen, and the fandom has a running gag that "there is no tsukihime anime" because of how bad that was), though the Fate/Zero anime is also a great place to go.

The Fate series is pretty popular. You might want to check out Tsukihime... That one is even more dated than Fate, but together with Kara no Kyoukai, they make the main Nasuverse titles. As for Fate itself, I'd point you to the Fate/Zero anime if you haven't watched it already. Anyway, welcome to the forums. Hope you have fun around. If you ever need recommendations, check out my 50 translated VNs you should read before you die list.

@Ceris Your NepNep 1 party was pretty much the same as mine, except I threw Histoire in some fights because I like her. For NepNep 2... I first ran that setup with Nepgear/Uni/Ram/Rom as well (finishing bosses with Superior Angels was cool) and then when I rescued the older CPUs I ran Neptune/Blanc/Vert/Nepgear while using the other 4 as support for like, one chapter before the conquest route started. When the conquest route started, I was forced to use humans in the team, though. Kinda ironic since I went through the trouble of doing quests to raise the shares of Lastation/Leanbox/Lowee just to recruit the other CPUs. I finished the game using Nepgear/Red/Cave/IF. Also, Vert is stealing my imouto right now. RIP in pieces Nepgear. I've got my Planeptune setup now and don't plan on changing it, though.

Alright. Plutia is great and kinda steals the spotlight from Neptune in the boke/tsukkomi routine they constantly run, which is a bit of a shame. Love her, though. Smaller Histoire is also pretty fun, and I came to the conclusion I like her emote-spamming self more than her being serious. Also, with Plutia, I can finally run a full planeptune tem setup with Neptune, Nepgear, Plutia and Histoire, which is nice, because I always wanted an excuse to throw Histoire in my party and the planeptune CPUs are the best CPUs. Last game I could do a full Lowee team with Ram, Rom, Blanc and Mina, which got me a little salty since I couldn't do the same for Planeptune. Loli Compa/IF are also pretty cute. Here's the highlights of today:

Hey, it's the first time I was negative, for a change. What did you think of it? http://reviews.fuwanovel.net/2016/05/09/gahkthun-of-the-golden-lightning-2/

She's hilarious so far. Plutia, that is. Neptune keeps being as dank as before, which is great. The highlight of the game so far was them meeting. It's like twice the Neptune, lol. The little achievements increasing your stats reminds me of Fairy Fencer F, which is pretty neat, given how I liked that one. Neptune is still my favorite, but Plutia has potential. Well, compared to Nepgear, anyway, who I never came to like at any point in the story. Being able to recruit the entire cast of side characters from the previous games at the start is interesting, too. Your party is huge right off the bat By the way, Noire 2.0 is annoying. I just kinda wish she wasn't there. EDIT: Oh, she's nice again. Noire is at its best when Neptune is making fun of her loneliness, after all.

Yeah, I'm done with it. I liked the ending. That final CG with Nepgear is gorgeous. ...I just wanted to play my old party from Rebirth 1 again, though. RIP in pepperoni me, I wasn't ready for any of it. Guess Rebirth 3 is next, though this ending leaves a bad aftertaste.

Well, damn. This really sucks. No Vert shots because lol I don't care about Vert. This actually gave me the opportunity to play more with the humans, though. Since I always felt the need to have a CPU party for plot-based reasons.

I've been playing Rebirth 2 and damn, this got pretty dark really fast. Neptune is the best girl, by the way.

Not based Joseph/10 All jokes aside, I do like Jotaro. 8/10.

She's from Kakumeiki Valvrave, if I remember correctly. Her name is Shoko.

The third would make a pretty awkward crop no matter how I see it, so you're probably better off with the first, tbh.

Oh, lemme take a shot at this one. People could be better informed, but I'd say that not enough to take political decisions unless we're talking daily hours of mandatory education and forced participation that are completely unrealistic. I dunno. Politicians need to take some really important decisions, and I'd say often enough those decisions involve specific knowledge that people can't just learn from some google searches, and that we're better off letting experts in those fields take them instead. Not to say politicians know about those issues either... But just letting the people decide is a great way to get humanity extinct ASAP, imo. I also think it is more realistic to educate a few hundred politicians on the myriad issues they'll be deciding on than doing it to everyone. I could be wrong or completely crazy, though. This type of thing is too complex and out of my area of expertise.

Tempo mage was what I used to hit legend last year... Though I used a bunch of different decks. I climbed from rank 3 to 2 using a wacky murloc deck that got me like, 30+ friends on my list. People seemed to absolutely love playing against it, even though it was cancer. Probably because I picked it up from an older r/competitiveHS guide and it wasn't in any tier list. I wanna wait a while more before picking up midrange lists. Right now, since things aren't quite settled yet, aggro decks are the strongest, imo.

Neat article, though I'm onlly midway through it. They still need to sell me on Trump being a tyrant-type, but I'm having lots of fun with it so far.

No way. I'm a terrible deck builder. Pretty good at following guides and playing the decks I pick, as well as remembering how to play against all the decks everyone else is playing, so I shine when the meta is settled and not chaotic.

The meta will probably start to settle down soon. Kinda funny that the last month of doing an arena run a day or so set me up this well for competitive play... Back in the beta I was absolutely terrible at the game, even though I played it a lot. It took me like, 2 years to be able to build a good deck. One month of casual play is all that it takes now, though. I'll be playing mostly variations of shaman and paladin, both aggressive (though shaman pulls a bit to the midrange side.) I'll probably push for legend again, just so that I can feel smug about hiting it in a pretty new F2P account. When I hit it last year, I had basically a full collection, after all. Anyone else has plans for this season?

Barry Lyndon, I'd say.

The Overlord LN is a pretty fun experience.

If I don't win, this is rigged.

It's all I got on her after she started whining in the first fight From the previous game, looks-wise, my favorite character would be Blanc (non-transformed) - Her personality doesn't appeal too much to me, though she might stil become my favorite. I'm not really sure how I feel about any of the characters, lol. When we're talking about their transformations, Neptune looks better, though. EDIT: Nevermind, for some reason I completely forgot Histoire existed. She looks better than all of them. By a lot.

So, I just finished Rebirth 1. It was ok, I guess. I liked Fairy Fencer F over it, though I actually liked Fairy Fencer F, unlike most of the people I see talking about it here. Starting out Rebirth 2 now. Nepgear is... Not Neptune. I have absolutely no idea if I liked Neptune or not (well, I liked her over the other CPUs, at the very least, but that isn't much), so feel free to take that statement as you wish. As for @Tyrosyn, this last post of yours got me interested. I'm perfectly fine with the gameplay and the art is nice (I don't really care for comments on the game industry, either, since I don't normally play games and it's just not appealing to me in the first place.), but you got me with the story being less profound. If you'd mind, could you give me some examples of that? It's fine if you don't want to, too. If it looks like the story in MK2 is that much better, I might as well play it instead.
