Why look, official animated Fate/Grand Order content where Gudako is the lead! It would be nice if she the lead in more proper animated adaptations and not stuck in comedic ones.

Not like having female Ritsuka would be functionally different in a proper adaptation since there's no difference between the two other than sex.

Ah, the insanity that got me surprisingly hooked, now in FGO focus? call me intrigued.

Honestly, to me this is the best part by far of all things Fate.

That is definitely a Grand Order-esque Carnival Phantasm Op.

From my understanding the female MC has a very exaggerated personality in official media that use her. I don't know if that's just like fanon giving her that personality or just one specific adaption.[/i]

That's just the Learning with Manga version, where she's a sex crazed gambling addict. Male Ritsuka in the same title just wants to flirt with Astolfo all day. It's over the top-ness for comedy's sake.

In the game proper, the gender you set (which you can change at anytime) only results in the occasional minor variation in the dialogue.

She's the protagonist in the Shimousa and Salem manga adaptations where she's just normal.

I was not ready for that Lancelot scene. Moriarty is truly evil.

You are correct the personalities/characters are the same, but it'd still be way better to have her as the lead in a proper/serious adaptation just for that reason. It'd be some variety! And the male protagonist is kind of a big meme as it is, especially with Shimazaki voicing him. It's like if they got Steve Blum to voice the protagonist of every modern day show that went on Toonami or something.

Also the red hair helps her stand out a bit more at least!

If ever there was a cry for a release of Carnival Phantasm stateside...

I enjoyed Ritsuka a lot in the Grand Order anime's I've watched, but I wouldn't mind seeing the female MC show up in animated form in something official and non-parody.

(Maybe then she'd get an official English voice too?).

Saber in that swimsuit. I like they perfectly adapted the Dangan Ronpa artstyle for you know who. Disappointed my waifu Scathach wasn't in this, but Tamamo was.
