Granted F/Z was written after F/SN so the level of development of Saber as a character (esp. given how Nasu's writing wasn't as refined then) is debatable in any case, but the idea is that she has the attitude of some ideal king while wanting to renounce the position. She never really was intent on living on as said ideal. | ||

Interviews that were made with the hypothetical t-m RPG in mind kinda makes it canon enough?

We simply never got anything firm besides the whole idea that she will move on from the past and then continue to behave the exact same way. Saber's character image is honestly just as fucked up as Kohaku's by Melty, and that accomplished even without needing Hollow. | ||

Her emoness just added to the absurdity of what she demanded, given that she wanted to "make it like it all never happened." Destroying the grail to live a normal life doesn't mean anything except that, in a not-so-rosy-glasses view, just means she stopped fretting over the past. Which is fine, people don't need to keep carrying their past. But that doesn't mean she's changed any of her ideals or anything. She's just acting like a king, while no longer claiming to be one. Which, I guess in one way is progress, in another way makes her still insufferable. Granted F/Z was written after F/SN so the level of development of Saber as a character (esp. given how Nasu's writing wasn't as refined then) is debatable in any case, but the idea is that she has the attitude of some ideal king while wanting to renounce the position. She never really was intent on living on as said ideal. And you claim that based on her relationship with Kiritsugu, and the banquet with Rider, right? Because other than those two (one of which is entirely justified because Kiritsugu is a dick), Saber got long with practically everyone she met, other than her enemies (who she is supposed to not get along with). | ||

Anyway, what other parts of nasuverse/the type moon stuff can I watch/read/whatever if I need english translations and only have my PC as a tool? Watched/read: Fate Zero F/SN (still working on HF) Kara no Kyoukai movies Tsukihime anime To do: Tsukihime VN Carnival Phantasm (because seeing Lancer die a terrible death every other episode is fun fun fun) | ||

Problem is you need play a lot version to get all the storyline... not sure if there story translation only. Kagetsu Tohya, which is a fan disk for Tsukihime, not sure if it has eng trans or not though. KnK LN, but movies do a fairly decent job (except Oblivion Recorder... wtf happened there??! They might want avoid the actual story because it was pretty dark, but they already went there with Fujino). | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Not bad, at least we're moving through the "saves" at a decent rate. Keima in pretty good form, still not on-a-horse level though. GE + Show Spoiler + OH SNAP But seriously, I hope they don't try to retcon the rape or something. That dude deserves a punch in the mouth. | ||

I'm sure that most people are used to it by now, but it has that anime dialogue where you think to yourself "I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk like this, and I don't think I ever will", but it's pretty easy to get used to. All in all, it was pretty enjoyable, kinda fun and had some sad moments (the good kind) making it a pretty good anime to watch. | ||

Some things aren't wrapped up in the end, though for some people it could be better if they aren't. It had a few great moments, both funny and dramatic, and the mix gave it a nice feel (at least for a casual anime watcher like me). It brings up some possible "deep" topics, but doesn't really do all that much with them, but that's not really a bad thing, as it instead just continues going along with its story.

Also, most certainly the best thing I've watched that was by J.C Staff. | ||

Azumanga Daioh Honey and Clover Utena Nodame Cantabille (I havent gotten around to seeing it and I dont really care anymore but its pretty popular so Ill throw it in anyway) They have a fair bit of good shows going for them, the just tend to screw up alot of stuff that happens to have really good source which is one of the reasons they get so much hate. Other times they just do bad stuff period. But its not all doom and gloom, although if you go back a few years its all been downhill for the most part. | ||

It's my personal favorite manga of all time, and is the anime and then some. gun frontier is a bit similar. its short and casual but the characters are awesome, like vash ![[image loading]](http://www.animeclick.it/prove/serie/GunFrontier/GunFrontier1.jpg) (desert punk is also cool) | ||
