Don't see the appeal of Kira or Tatsuya beyond being pretty boys...

Wow, when they said that Saber is stealing the show they were not kidding xD
Additionally, for those who are either too lazy or cannot see the TOP10 rankings (only listing F/sn related ranks):

Male characters:

[...]
2nd place: Archer
3rd place: Emiya Shirou
[...]
8th place: Lancer
[...]


Female characters:

1st place: Saber
2nd place: Tohsaka Rin
[...]


Anime Ranking:

1st place: Fate/stay night
[...]



Some people may have missed the fact that even Lancer made it into the TOP10.
This is also one great thing about F/sn that many other shows massively fail at: It got a quite balanced male/female ratio. Some series have no notable male characters at all and even the main male characters are often just empty shells and more than an excuse to somehow have non-yuri breast groping, sometimes the male characters are even completely removed to have an all-girls show. Other series' only have 1 Gary Stu main male character that is the focus for all girls, while other male characters are only badly written villains or idiots that are just there to make the MC look good.

I wish I could find the rankings from 2006 to see how this compares. Got no luck through google. All I know is that F/SN was voted 9th best anime of all time back then, so Shirou being its main character, he must have been quite popular.

That logic does rarely work. A lot of anime are defined by their main heroines. In the case of the 2006 anime, people probably only liked it for Saber (and maybe Archer), the only character(s) that DEEN even cared to portray correctly at all.

I am quite sure that that and F/Z are the reasons why Saber is so popular.

It was supposed to be a

boy meets girl story

and that was the story of the fate-route from the VN, that even Nasu himself admitted to have made some blunders in it, but in the end the 2006 anime by DEEN became a

boy meets girl story

which was even worse.



Luckily romance is just a minor sub-plot in UBW.

Actually it is the biggest sub-plot.

But oh well... It's ... it's not like I care about what you say.

Putting your Tsundere act aside, let me rephrase it:

In UBW the romance does at least not negatively impact the characterisation (SEIBA! SEIBA! GIrLs DoNt FiGhT! SEIBA! SEIBA!) and the story (Screw you, Shirou, I attack Ryudo temple solo, despite you and your allied master warning me that it would be suicide).

Better?

They improved Rin... but now Shirou looks ugly on that picture.

He's got a point though. It's one thing to call the romance a sub-plot and another to call it a minor sub-plot. Shirou and Rin's relationship may not have been as important to the story as the one between Shirou and Archer (which was the real main plot), but minor it was not. A truly minor sub-plot would be, say,

Oh, please. We know Fate series has a looooong time out there in Japan, even if some dislike DEEN's version it lead fans to the Visual novel games, etc. There is no negative publicity at the end.

The franchise still is alive being a multimedia project.

Look at Toaru series with Mikoto Misaka being stuck at 1st place at light novel rankings and Asuna at 2nd place several times. Of course my comparison might be wrong as Mikoto isn't plot relevant as she is occasional support character and Asuna is... the girlfriend furniture while Saber is central to the plot(on 2/3 routes).

I won't answer to any reply regarding this off topic... better stop it here before the mode comes here.



Here a comparison of heroines:

@Miraluka:
I think you quoted the wrong post, because the one you quoted has no relation to the things you posted.


Also for the games, I think for Sakura Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II would be much more fitting.

It looks like she learned something from Kiritsugu after all
