ANN Interviews Minagoroshi no Gen Urobuchi

Anime News Network just posted an interview with the author of the original Fate/Zero novels. Gen Urobuchi is probably recently well known for being the writer behind the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the visual novel Saya no Uta. You might notice that the author of most of the questions is a very familiar face. Me! So I got to totally geek out and ask some real “What are these inconsistencies with U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701A Deck Plans” style questions. There are also some more general questions for everyone else who don’t instinctually know which Noble Phantasm has the subtitle of the Golden Sword of the Victorious. The answers are mostly short “polite Japanese industry” style answers but I think there as some great insights to be gained. If nothing else I like finding our more about Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi as well as Gen Urobuchi.

For everyone who assumed this episodes would be non stop fighting you should have known that while Gen Urobuchi wrote the original light novels you should also always remember that Kinoko Nasu’s powers of infinite exposition are invincible. The episode is even called False Start as to warn you that there is going to be some action but not the full throw down you are hoping for. So while I will patently wait for everything to be set up I know a few people are going to hit the ejector seat after the continuing amount  setup in this episode. There is some great payoff coming but not everyone can wait that long. But trust me it is coming.
