well, those ppl who forget about saber seriously do not deserve to be anime otakus...afterall...who would forget about someone as unique as saber? those ppl are honestly dumb***

@ sharingan

Possibly because not everyone is enraptured by Saber's character? That's why games (and their adaptations) such as Fate/stay night often have several different types (or perhaps, archetypes) of female/male characters present - so that the player/reader/watcher is able to relate to their own personal favourites, and can safely ignore those they don't like as much.

This is slightly different in terms of Fate, of course, due to the multi-layered plotlines that require multiple playthrough. But regardless, claiming that people who don't care much for a particular character in any medium are "insertyourfavouriteinsulthere", is quite frankly a bit shortsighted.

and it is apparent that you did not catch my sarcasm in the last post.
lol, it k
i just really want to see more of her, so that's why i go around saying stuff about her, but after i played the game and saw the H-pics of her, i really lost my respect for her

mlai · 2007-05-10, 10:45

iamandragon · 2007-05-10, 15:01

i bet u even play them yurself...echii girl...
well, i still have respect for saber, i understand that they were just trying to attain mana, but i don't know why rin gotta be in there too.

iamandragon · 2007-05-10, 21:35

She just happens to be there

Nonono just joking--Rin's there to monitor the situation and to guide Shirou through the mana transfer process, as Shirou lacks the knowledge to connect the his magic circuits and Saber's.

And I admit I play erogames myself, got a problem with it?

no no no, i don't have any problems with anything, was just kinda surprised cuz its usually the girls who go "ewwww! u play hentai games?" so w/e, u said rin was just there? well if she was just "there" then why was she trying to "connect" to saber also? shouldn't it just be shirou?

iamandragon · 2007-05-11, 12:17

That reaction usually comes from guys(I still remember the shocked look on my first boyfriend when I told him about hentai)

Because she's not Saber's master--only a master can grant their own servant mana...(I guess)
The problem with Shirou is that he is not a full fledged magician, so he doesn't know how to switch on his magic circuit--every time he uses magic he has to generate a new one until later in the story, which partially explains the huge amount of magic circuits he has even though he's not from a magical family. (Mahou Shounen Shirou anyone?)

Anyways, because Shirou's magic circuits are half-developed, it cannot be connected to Saber's magic circuits, which results in the incapability of mana transfer normally.

And the alternative method of mana transfer is the exchange of body fluid, which means, sex. yum.

sharingan0619 · 2007-05-13, 07:11

alright, so shirou "exchange" body fluids with saber, but does tha explain why rin os there to exchange stuff too? i think shirou knows how to f*** already without rin's guidance, i think rin was just there for show as the japanese artists are perverted and echii

iamandragon · 2007-05-13, 12:19

Just exchanging body fluid is not enough in Shirou's case, since he doesn't know how to turn on his magic circuit properly, Rin has to be there to keep Shirou's magic circuit on in order for his and Saber's magic circuit to be connected in order for the possibility of mana transfer.

sharingan0619 · 2007-05-14, 16:18

in other words, she gotta join in the three some...just shut up...yur making a totally inrelevant sintuation with a complex solution just to make it sound valid, we all no the h-scenes were there cuz fsn was a part hentai game

iamandragon · 2007-05-14, 18:19

It's because of all the settings of the mana transfer...blame Nasu for that...

Though i admit I was (at least half) looking forward to the H-scenes.

And to add: she didn't join in--she was just by the side all the time, and spent a little time teasing the two of them in the beginning.

What are you, 10? Get over it.

I personally wouldn't consider this the "best anime ever". The animation was average, the storyline was good but lacking (anime wise), and the whole thing felt rushed. There are so many things going on at once and felt like an "enemy of the day" robot anime until the very end; it really didn't give me enough time to digest and grasp the situation.The anime also did a really poor job with background explanation for characters other than Shirou & Saber.

I still think it was pretty good but definitely not something I'd rewatch again.

iamandragon · 2007-05-18, 00:56

Apart from the scene where Saber first unleashes Excalibur...

I showed it to a few guys who watches gundam

That was great...(their expression it is)

mlai · 2007-05-23, 05:47

I agree with Hoon to an extent. I think it was pitiful that the director's attitude was "we don't have to explain everything in the anime, because you should play th game."

ametaratsu · 2007-05-28, 02:47

damn the show was really good at the start but the ending what the heck it's somewhat neglecting so lonely and pretty bad.. wish they have another part or an alternate ending!!!!

You want an alternate neding? Play the game. 40+ brand new endings (including the dead ends, lol)
