Does the ending of UBW with Shirou and Rin living in London get followed up on in anything else?

There is exactly one drama CD set post-UBW true end, in which Tohsaka buys a car and Waver helps teach her to drive.

Nasu has also made references to a Grail Disassembly War that takes place 10 years later, in which Rin and Waver team up to return to Fuyuki and destroy the greater grail in a battle on the same scale as a grail war. Maybe someday they'll decide to write about it instead of just giving mysterious references in interviews.

It's not quite the same, but you might also check out Lord El Melloi II Case Files. It's a series of mystery novels set in and around Clock Tower set just before the FSN grail war, following Waver and his students.

Thanks! I also found the UFOtable UBW anime has a 15 minute epilogue of them in England. I checked out the manga for the Lord El Melloi II Case Files and it was an impenetrable wall of Nasu :words:

, does that work any better in the novels? Or maybe the translation for the Manga was just not so good.

I'm surprised Kamehameha hasn't already been added.

I'm watching the Kara no Kyoukai movies at the moment and Shiki's boyfriend is a very bland young man.

Yeah, that is his whole theme. That and "very good at finding things"

I think there's bits of him that I do like, like his developing skills as a detective, and how good he is with people, and his role in Shiki's life. He just never seems to have a clear motivation in the OVAs which makes him feel very flat. We get told he's estranged from his parents after dropping out of university but not the reason why he did that, or why he chose to work for Shouko, or even what he likes about Shiki. Is he better in the novels?

It's fun to see these movies and see where things were developed into Tsukihime, too.

I only just found out the first half of the Tsukihime remake came out, I had no idea it even had a release date. I guess all the info atm is just coming from people who can read Japanese who have played it, but is it an improvement on the original? I read the LP of the original probably a decade ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy on it, but I remember it being a mix of really good weird horror, and some very not-great 90s dating sim sexual politics.
