This is something I can't get my head around, isn't Fate Stay Night really popular or something? couldn't they have made more movies? I mean, Kara no whatever got like seven.
Heaven's Feel plz.

It might have something to do with the fact that Kara No Kyoukai is seen as being a little bit more highbrow than FSN, owing to its roots as a series of novels.

Also, week after next is Chinese New Year.

Which is, in fact, The Year Of The Taiga. waii

From what I've seen, Heaven's Feel is quite disliked. Or rather, Sakura is quite disliked.

It's Sakura, not the route that's disliked. Might be because she kinda, you know, eats everyone.

Also, each novel of KNK is standalone, which is easier to translate to the big screen (each novel was made into a separate film).

To break one continuous narrative into several smaller bits would be box-office poison, I would have thought: you couldn't guarantee that the punters will come back for the second, third, or fourth instalments.

Someone once said it's annoying that Shirou gives up his ideal for a girl nobody gave a fuck about.

She struck me more as a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.

That being said, other backdraft happy things... I've mentioned Kampfer. What do you people think?

It still doesn't explain the logic for having only one UBW movie. More UBW movies = better adaption = happier fans = more money and More UBW movies = people paying to see several movies instead of one = people buying more DV Ds = more money.

Shirou and Rin cared about her, even if nobody else did; that's part of the point of HF.

My God, especially Rin. Then there's that infamous Bad End where Rin gets a taste of what Sakura went through. That was something that really freaked me out.

Haven't seen it yet. Can't really judge...

^To be crueler, it was save Rin or kill Saber.

The manga is better, but I watched the anime for the voice acting. Really.

Am I the only one who likes V Ns because they exist primarily in text? Being inside the head of someone who sees the world in a different way is the primary appeal, as far as I can tell, and the best V Ns take advantage of this. Fate Stay Night in particular likes to describe things in rather absurd ways to emphasize the supernaturalness of the characters. I can't but think that it would lose something in any sort of anime adaptation.

Re HF: It's not so much that he sacrificed his ideal for her, but the fact that it is presented as the only possibly right choice, the bad end when you have to choose Sakura or ideal, made me bump my head to a desk repeatedly.

It's only a bad end in the sense that that path isn't the story we're being told. Yeah, it might've been kind of cool to see what happens after that, but I don't think cutting it off there is making any kind of moral claim like you imply.

Not quite what I meant, but I'll explain in the other thread because otherwise Wicked will hate me.

You have a point. The corruption did make her more or less undead. It's still painful as hell to go through with it.

The Good-Times Montage afterwards and the FSN signature "sadness" leitmotif (I can't remember what it's called). Way to twist the knife there, Nasu.

Maybe I'm a cold unfeeling robot, but I didn't feel anything in particular about that scene. Mostly I thought it was somewhat odd since they hadn't really gotten to know each other very well in that route.

the only thing that's redeeming about Haruhi is that episode referencing Legend of Galactic Heroes and Crest of the Stars and Space Battleship Yamato [read: space opera anime and RTS space strategy games]

You know guys, the Fate Stay Night liveblog hasn't been abandoned.

I didnt actuallly read any of those spoilers, but I could've.
