Also as it pertains to reactions we don’t react to this series in general because the main studio is copyright strict. If we did any more it would have to be a patreon exclusive thing

Quick version (for the skimmers)

  • I keep mentioning Fate and people keep recommending it like we haven’t seen it 😂
  • My wife and I already watched:
    • Fate/Zero
    • Fate/Stay Night
    • Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
  • So yeah — we’re familiar with the classes (Saber/Arthur, etc.). That’s also why I’m a Gilgamesh fan.
  • The issue is we just don’t remember every detail because we watched it casually
  • When we watch TV normally, it’s usually background: talking, chores, bathroom breaks, etc.
  • When we react, we actually lock in, and we enjoy the story more because we pay attention
  • We’ve both done 50+ hour work weeks forever, so there’s not much “sit and study TV” time
  • If we reacted to Fate, it would honestly feel brand new because this time we’d catch the details we missed

TL;DR: We’ve seen it, but we watched it casually — reactions = actually paying attention.

Long version (for the readers)

I keep mentioning The Fates we’ve already seen, and people keep recommending it like it’s brand new to us 😂

My wife and I have already watched Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night, and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works — so yeah, we’re familiar with the classes and all that. Like Saber (Arthur), etc. That’s also why I’m a Gilgamesh fan.

The real issue is… we just don’t remember all the details.

Because when we watch TV on our own, we watch it casually. We’re mainly locked in on the action… and if folks start yapping? We’re yapping too 😭

We’re talking, going to the bathroom, doing chores, whatever — because for us, TV is usually background entertainment.

But when we do reactions? We actually pay attention, and ironically we enjoy the story more because we’re forced to lock in and catch all the details we missed the first time.

And to keep it real… my wife and I have both always worked 50+ hour work weeks. There’s basically no idle time to watch TV like it’s your only job. There’s always something to do.

Some people know every single storyline but their house looks like a hurricane hit it. Shout out to that streamer living in a messy home 😭😭😭

So to my real-life friends, this isn’t a big deal at all. It’s only when I interact with people online that it becomes a whole “HOW DO YOU NOT REMEMBER??” situation.

But here’s the funny part: if we reacted to Fate, it would almost feel like a brand new reaction — because this time we’d actually catch and appreciate the details we missed back then.

TL;DR: Me and my wife watch TV casually, so even if we’ve seen something, we might not remember everything for normal reasons.
