Is there an actual date on the HF movies yet, incidentally?

I have basically the exact same opinion as Clarste. I get what UBW is going for, but Shirou is never forced to actually sacrifice anything. His future self just shows up to try and break his spirit. Hell, I actually see him like Rin: he wants to be a superhero, but when the chips are down he honestly cares more about the people in his daily life than some nebulous amount of other people. Like that time in UBW where Taiga getting threatened made Shirou drop everything.

Part of it is probably that I view F/SN as one complete story of Fate > UBW > HF, with HF being the "correct" conclusion, even though I know full well that all three routes are valid in their own way. Meh.

You're missing the point. Shirou would never just let Taiga die if he could prevent it, even if it was the better move. That's one of the things that separates him from Kiritsugu, and kind of the basis of HF.

As a tangent, I love how like 90% of F/SN fanworks are set after Fate or UBW, because there's just nothing you can do with Shirou anymore after HF. He's not traveling the world as a superhero magus, he's not studying in London with Rin, hell he's not even really fit to fight anymore. He's just living a (relatively) regular life in Fuyuki, and it owns.

No that's what you'd think, but apparently it's actually still black. It's why nobody questions Sakura as to why her hair is bright purple.

I check back in on Prism Ilya after remembering it existed and the first thing I see is Sakura infused with Lancelot's class card.

And all I can think of is how hilariously perfect that concept is, on so many levels.

The HF Movie will start with a huge Star Wars title scroll detailing the majority of the events and then immediately segue into Nine Bullet Revolver.

Nah, I like it all too. I enjoy all of HF, and the big scene in the rain is probably one of my favorite parts. Especially since it sounds so goofy out of context.

It probably helps that I like melodrama.

Ea at full power can easily rupture dimensional walls so even Avalon wouldn't work. But Gilgamesh never uses it at full power so the point is moot.

Nine Bullet Revolver is pretty much the gateway to the last stretch of HF.

The main midpoint I can think of for HF is Day 9's big rain scene.

It is a magical girl show, so the protagonist is the strongest when she is trying to Protect Her Friends.

Thinking about it more than that is just :spergin:.

It's not a magical girl show if there aren't a poo poo ton of implied lesbians.

Yeah, not going to lie, Shirou and Rin looked good in their cards but something about Sakura just looks wrong.

Maybe the lack of shading on her face?

Season one of Prism Ilya, which had the Saber fight, was about 60% comedy, 40% action. Season two, which is where the lesbian makeout scene was from, tips the scales to like... 80% comedy, 20% action? A theoretical season three would actually reverse that, but considering the third manga series isn't even done yet it's not getting animated for a while yet.

Most of the non-ecchi appeal of Prism Ilya is watching the cast of F/SN live a generally happier life, so if you're not up for that than don't bother watching the show and just youtube up the fight scenes.

If they bother you at all, skip the show. If you really want to know what happens, just read the manga instead and don't force yourself to sit through crap.

EDIT: The manga is full of fanservice too by the way, but it's a way quicker read.

Takumi's route lets you recruit Satsuki. That's about it.

Only real joke you're missing out is Arcuied assuming Takumi is gay because anyone Shiki fights alongside must be in love with him.

No, but there are two secret bonus scenarios for getting all the battle masteries.

no but don't you see, there's nothing wrong with the anime, you're the problem.

F/SN just really doesn't adapt to an animated adaption all that well. Kind of sucks, but what can you do?
