>>4662Hopefully there's fan rips out there for a franchise as big as Fate. It was posted at such a strange time in the week too, the Black Butler musicals were all on the weekends, but this was Wednesday to Friday for some reason.
It's a huge mess with many bad jokes but I collected some of the youtube MTL that made me laugh and finally compiled them into one collage. What you wouldn't get from these is how the music is, it opens with bagpipes and during the curtain call it reveals it's real fucking bagpipes they were blasting during Saber fights. I think the best songs came in the second half, in particular Lancer's brief "I want" song, Rider's army choir, and what my friend called "the surprise NTR duet" between the girls. The first half, nearish the middle I think, had a barely musical ""rap"" between Rider and Waver that was terrible but still made me laugh because of Waver yelling incredulously at Rider's ideas of a good time.
The fighter plane scenes near the end though. Oh my god why did I not try to record them. Kicking myself so badly over that. There were two extras on the top of the stage set holding model fucking planes and going "nyooooowww zooooomm" while a guy dressed as a pilot pretended to steer while sitting on a chair down below. Meanwhile Berserker's actor ran up and did what I could only describe as a spread and ready for breeding pose in front of the guy so he started screaming and the stage lights went red or something. I don't know how you're meant to recreate that sequence on stage, but that had to be the funniest visually.
Now I'm thinking about it, Excalibur got a fairly nice effect in that part. They had a curtain of fabric strips hung down in front of the set, and one strong light shining through between the strips dead center. When Saber let rip the fabric strips fell down starting from the center outwards so that the light spread out in a big beam. I mean, not quite a beam, but it was neat enough. Good job, stage, you did some stagey things that weren't After Effects projections.
