[@lunarSoul0]

Forplay for servants

[@RattledRib]

Your Everyday Protagonist He's not stupid though, just extremely lacking in self-worth.

[@IchCharacter]

@Grass No. He's damn stupid as well. He would rather attack Berserker in melee combat with a strengthened stick to save Rin, something that had 0 chances of success, if Nasu wasn't a hack writer, than attacking Illya, who, as far as he knew it, was a defenseless little girl without her servant. He frequently endangered his own allies with his reckless behaviour, not to mention countless civilians. He is stupid and inconsistent, just like the plot itself, for the most part. Nothing meant shit because Nasu would rewrite the rules of his own damn universe every second turn for Shirou to make it to the end. The thing with Shirou is... he should have died, the end.

[@RattledRib]

IchCharacter He primarily went after Berserker because of his lack of self worth. When Shirou sees someone in danger, he's instinctively compelled to help them. Even if it means endangering or hurting those that care about him, he has a compulsive need to help others. Selfish? Sure, that's something Archer mentioned during their battle in the UBW route. Mentally unstable? Why of course, that's why he has a Reality Marble. I certainly wouldn't call him dumb though. As for Nasu being inconsistent, I've got no rebuttal there. He constantly changes how stuff works, creating literal wars between lore nuts over what's canon and what isn't. The story of Fate/stay night is FAR from being a masterpiece, but I personally really enjoy it for what it is.

[@masterfreeman117]

This dub is absolutely brilliant. I find the writing to be better than in the actual show. You drastically shorten the plot, fill it with comedy while still keeping everything coherent. This abridged series has the Emperors seal of approval.

[@CyanMedic]

The writing is better than in the actual show because they aren't trying to fit in source material with more words than LotR into a two-cour anime. F/SN will NEVER work perfectly as an adaptation, just because of how dense with information the VN is. Instead, they took the entirely sensible approach, worked off the assumption that anyone watching will be at least vaguely familiar with the Nasuverse, and crammed this bitch full of references while keeping to the proper story beats. It was a very smart way of taking on the series.

[@lunarSoul0]

Yep the actual show has to introduce everything. The abridged has the luxury of 8 times out of 10 if your watching it you have basic lore knowledge

[@calr134]

My lord, we really need you to get off the throne. Or at least install a damn text to speech device.

@CyanMedic The source material barely contains actual information either. For the most part, it's just Shirou monologuing about how he must be a hero and how Saber shouldn't fight. If you get down to the bottom of how little development actually happened in F/SN, you'd be shocked.

[@IchCharacter]

@@Mythos66 Yeah, Fate route. Other routes are more tolerable, but still rather lacking, for the most part.

[@0axis771]

Have I mentioned how much I love you guys? Because my most favorite moment for a narrative to this story has to be this moment: *Archer:* I've got a Hitler question for you, Shirou. *Shirou:* Huh? *Archer:* Let's say that right before his death, knowing everything that Adolf Hitler had done, he got a chance to talk to himself in his formative years. He's young, he's naive. Would Hitler try to set himself down a different path? Or kill him to save himself the grief? *Shirou:* What does this have to do with Caster? *Archer:* If Hitler knows his dreams will destroy him, should Hitler kill Hitler? Or, is it important that little Hitler see through his ambitions, consequences be damned? This is a VERY deep question that you had Archer ask Shirou, that I cannot help but feel it's something we all could think about. If our lives went through a very horrible turn where we self-destructed or did terrible things, and had a chance to meet our younger self, we would only feel we had two options. Choose to deviate them from the path they have set themselves to, or kill them so they don't go through with it. And asking it in the way of using Adolf Hitler was a brilliant move that makes you really think. If Hitler is young, naive, even innocent, should he die? His future isn't set in stone, but he may have a drive that might make him set on the path of destruction. It's seriously something else and it's one of the reasons that I love the stuff you guys do.

[@0axis771]

@@michaeldaniels642 I agree. That's a very simple logic, and I would even think that way too. But when I think more about it, I'm killing someone that didn't yet do anything wrong. He could still turn into the monster, but he could end up also being a better person and not that monster. He hasn't yet done anything. But here in the context of what Archer asks Shirou, it's Archer talking to his younger naive self. To him, there are only two options. Either Shirou gives up his dream, or Archer kills Shirou.

I love how they keep foreshadowing the Shiro/Archer connection in this series. And their relationship is just awesome with Shiro idolizing archer, and archer completely despising Shiro. The Hitler analogy makes me wonder how much they altered the the normal Fate/Moon timeline. Did he still just fail horribly at saving some people, or did he go off the rails and do something REALLY bad?
