Gen Urobuchi is a nihilist?[edit]

Well, Gen is one of those kinds of cynics that are so cynical that they consider even happiness alone as unrealistic and meaningless (for Gen, he even says it condradicts the very laws of nature and happy stories are difficult to write and impossible to believe (quote from Gen: "I have nothing but contempt for the deceitful thing men call 'happiness', and find myself with no choice but to push my characters, whom I pour my heart and soul out to create, into the abyss of tragedy").

Shouldn't the number of episodes for Fate/Zero be updated? =[edit]

There are 25 Fate/Zero episodes… so why exactly is only 13 listed in the Table? Did no one update it since the end of "Season 1"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.171.188 (talk) 04:22, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fate/Zero light novels[edit]

Looking up on online sources, there's a discrepancy with regards to the Fate/Zero light novels. Some sources list 4 volumes, self-published & released through 2007. Other sources list 6 volumes, released through 2011. Can anyone clue me up on the matter? Are those two extra volumes additional material written for the reprints? Were they split off from thicker entries of the series? Wunkt2 (talk) 21:09, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think the publisher republished them. From what I get the first original light novel had Kiritsugu but only his background while in the rerelease, Takeuchi drew Kiritsugu's face as an example.Tintor2 (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Add Reception and legacy[edit]

Please create a reception and legacy section for Urobuchi. He is one of the most renowned and prolific writer in the anime industry. His writing was praised by many famous Japanese writers - Kazuo Koike, Toshio Suzuki, Mamoru Oshii and the final fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi etc - praised him. Yoko Taro is also a big fan of his works. Even Gray Haddock, the creator of the american animated series Gen:Lock and producer of RWBY, stated that Urobuchi is an influence on his writing. Please also expand his page, as he has written many works that are popular and well received. And maybe an "Influence" section would also be helpful, as Urobuchi said that his writing is influenced by many writers, such as H.P Lovecraft. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.128.80.233 (talk) 19:54, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
