I thought that metaphoric rape and the doujin dreams my dirty mind was having didn't hurt in the slightest...

:lol:

However, it's quite obvious that not only is Gilgamesh going to get his ass handed to him [Saber has the 'complete' excalibur now buddy! ^_^] BUT I'm sure that Shirou will be the one to get her pregnant... :shock:

Then again, it'll most likely end up like Tsukihime in my prediction as well.

Shall there be an Ataraxia follow up?! OH SAY IT IS SO!!!

Also, it should be noted that Arthur had Bedeviere return Excalibur to the Lady of the Lake (AKA Watery Tart) when Arthur was on his deathbed. So that scene is Arthur dying. I guess Saber came to terms with what happened in her life, and decided that she really didn't need to do it all over again.

Clearly Studio DEEN dumped their budget on this final episode; the battles were awesomely dynamic. Even when they got to the epilouge, the little moments and backgrounds were done really well.
Fuji-nee and Ilya definetely became comedy duo in the end. I can't wait to see those omake specials (assuming Geneon is going to release them).

And I probably said it once, and I'll say it again. Saber looks REALLY cute with her hair down. :cool:

It's a bittersweet farewell as I predicted; I basically got the same feeling when Tsukihime ended, but Fate/stay night made a bit more hopeful. Execution-wise was really good so the ending didn't seemed to contrived.


Overall in my opinion, this was an awesome series and automatically became my Top 10 favorite. Though I do take note that there were a few hiccups along the way (though according to the original gamers, rather big ones :roll:). Especially when we got some of the side-characters' backstory and having that rushed and/or unexplained. And there few animation spots where they're obviously reused scenes, or instances where character designs were off-modeled. But I'm pretty forgiving. :D

If Geneon plays their cards right, they could make Fate/stay night a "gateway" series for peeps who like your usual shounen action series to get into the realm of cutesy bishoujo series (like you know, air it on Adult Swim). Now we wait for the English DVD release. I wonder if whoever dubs this will give Saber a cute British accent. :roll: :oops:

she better have a brit voice... that'd make her uber sexy...

Anyways, regards to the ending. I don't hate it as much as Tsukihime, but I can say I can turn my back on this series and just admit, it wasn't THAT good, but it's not Eva/dbz trash either...

This is one of the RARE tragic endings I too would forgive... :cry:

Agreed. I liked the bittersweet ending of it and almost cried a little. It gives a sense of finality to her character, I think.

was kinda hoping she'd pop upa gain at the end ;p But awell, it was a great series anyway while it lasted. Maybe she'll see the continuation of the "dream" and be reborn somewhere.... just to be with shirou ;p

Actually I was constantly praying for the opposite... to me it was mildly salvaged by this kind of ending, so at least they didn't make it cheesy by bringing her back to Shirou's world.

I'm ambivalent. There are much more to be desired, but alas, desire is the cause of pain and suffering.

Regardless, I enjoyed the series for its drama, light action, and beautiful artistry.

Mmmmm, listening to the Fate/stay night OST, and I have to say Kenji Kawai is freakin' awesome! 8-)

The songs "Emiya" and "Tenchi Hou Take" were powerful and upbeat while "Gunyuu Shissou" is upbeat and fun. "La Sola" was very beautiful yet very depressing. I pretty much liked the last two songs I mentioned.

Now that's hardcore! :shock:

Man, I need to find more translated versions of the Fate/stay night doujin made by the Crazy Clover Club. The ones starring chibi-Saber is freakin' cute! 8-)
