Does Nasuverse canon have an explanation for why witches all have misshapen ears? Is it that the character designer just had a thing for elves? It's brought up in story, so it's not even a weird design choice. I don't get it.

It's brought up in story, so it's not even a weird design choice. I don't get it. Elves do exist in the Nasuverse along with other mythical creatures like Dragons. Sadly the whole setting is this weird Low-Urban fantasy mismash so we don't ever seem to see much of it. Like apparently the moon is a huge deal, Gil is apparently so powerful the world has him sleep on the dark side of it where all the demons live.

Again, crossposting form the UBW thread:Myriad Truths posted:Also Caster can do all sorts of weird things, with her being a fake Master and whatever. I think Caster just has a special affinity with cheating. There's all sorts of things she can do against the logic of the War that sound absurd because she's such a good cheater. If you think about it, all the breaches in rules Caster makes make sense. The Holy Grail War, with all of its regulations is, after all, nothing more than an immensely elaborate ritual prepared by a group of magi. Caster, being from the Age of Gods and all, is most likely significantly stronger than any of the magi directly involved in its establishment (welll, not Zelreth, oviously, but from what I remember he mostly just watched.) so it makes sense that she can bend the way it works a little.

That was always my thought as well, the Grail was formed no earlier than a few hundred years in the past right for their to be four Holy Grail War's at the correct 60 year intervals? That's 250 years with the 5th. So circa 1750 though I vaguely recall it being 1550, doesn't matter. I expect a Mage from the Age of Myth/Gods to be powerful enough to glance at the grail and make it do the dance. That's even if Medea/Caster even *is* something resembling a Mage, from what I recall of her myth she's no Raistlin*. So a proper Mage from that time could do whatever hacks he or she wants. *Assuming the origin of the Nasuverse being an RPG system derived from D&D is correct then Medea is probably more of a Bard, but you're still a spellcaster so it counts.

Didn't they have Shirou and Archer compete to make food with the obvious hilarious gags of Rin and Saber tasting it to boot?

Finally have the time to watch this thing, and there is no thread to complain about the Kirei scene... ... and I'll have to wait till April to get more. Oh well, there will be Jojos to fill the gap in my heart.

Right, nothing says modern like putting a slur in your program's name. Thanks for the webm tip, though. I guess I'll look into that!

lovely artwork aside, Waver Solves Magic Mysteries sounded like a neat premise when I first heard about it, I'd like to see it translated at the least so I can read it myself.

The artwork looks fine to me?  As for a Tsukihime anime, I'm sure we'll get one a couple of years after the remake. So 2025 or thereabouts.

I finished reading the Fate route now, interesting bit of irony and foreshadowing at the end there when Shirou goes after Kotomine while Saber fights Gilgamesh, Gil says it would've been better if Saber went after Kotomine while Shirou stayed to face him.
