I think later versions of the game cleaned things up a little, been ages since I played it, shouldn't be in any of the anime or movie versions either

but the point still stands. Matou family: not nice people

please do not accuse me of being one of them again

Wait, legitimate question. What am I supposed to watch / play / eat if I wanted to actually know what the gently caress the flavor from this game is? I thought there was just a 2015 anime series?

Is this all covered in the OP already :v:

To clear up the obvious content Quid stumbled upon, F/SN is and 'erotic visual novel' mostly because at the time, VNs without some sort of sex scene literally don't sell and the writer was pressured into it (and also, if you've ever read them, can't really write sex scenes worth a hill of beans). Literally every adaptation and spinoff has ignored that part since.

Each of the mage families involved in this war have kind of different takes on this whole magic power thing.

The Einzberns specialise in artificial beings like golems and vessels for the holy grail

The Tohsakas are good at storing energy in jewels

The Matous just crank the evil dial straight up to 11 with obscene body horror.

As for what you should watch, the mod would be the best one to ask, I haven't nt kept up with the franchise as well.

So it's a 2014 TV series and it looks like the 2015 is the sequel?

Is the 2014 special before the 2014 TV series necessary viewing?

Why am I spending this much time on this :v:

To very quickly sum it all up:

The game itself from 2004 has three routes, there is an anime of the first route from 2006, and an anime of the second route from 2014-2015, the one from 2006 isn't as good and most people, as is my understanding, will tell you just to watch the 2014-2015 one.

There is a movie adaptation planned for the third and final route but isn't out yet.

There is a 2011-2012 anime that largely serves as a prequel that a lot of people like but you don't need to actually watch.

seriously though, the original game did have dumb erotic content shoved in for marketing purposes, and even without that it's really still just another ridiculous weird anime. It's not like some timeless must-see classic.

But it's an anime I happen to have seen, and that I happen to like, cause the plot twists around my favourite character are especially fascinating. :fsn:

I am at least remotely curious as to what this source material is because I like being informed :v:

So if I'm starting with the 2014 series, do I need to watch the prequel special?

This will also be my ending of commentary on this~

You do not need to watch the prequel special, to my knowledge.

Doesn't Rider normally want to protect Shinji? I thought Shinji and Rider had a Master/Servant relationship.

That one I remember being pretty good. Definitely WAY better than the older anime based on the Fate route. Plus UBW is my favourite route anyway.
