I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'she did nothing' She fought whoever wanted to fight her She killed when ordered to kill From my understanding, as a servant, her freedom is limited. Her goal was to change the past so that the destruction of her country would not occur. To do so, she needed the Grail, and she fought with that in mind. + Show Spoiler [F/Z] + Masters have no real control over their servants outside the threat of the command seals. For the most part, Saber acted as she pleased. If Kiritsugu were really interested in limiting her freedom, he could have forced her to abandon all semblance of honor. But he wants nothing to do with her anyways, so he didn't. The part that gets really me about F/Z saber is how she spends all this time espousing the virtues of honor and whatnot. And then she still kills Lancelot despite how she wronged him (in her mind), and in a dishonorable fashion to boot. In the end, she tries to justify this using Kiritsugu style logic, which she has been hating on for the entirety of the work. And then come F/SN, she's the exact same as before! You would think she'd have thought this stuff through after spending all that time dying after Camlann. In fairness though, the existence of the prequel does muddy the waters somewhat. | ||

You would think she'd have thought this stuff through after spending all that time dying after Camlann. In fairness though, the existence of the prequel does muddy the waters somewhat. F/Z I think kinda clashed with what they presented in SN when it comes to her personality. You bring up Lancelot but he WANTED her to kill him and how was the method she killed him dishonorable? He attacked her and they fought straight up while she was in emotional turmoil because his presence brought up everything Rider was talking about. I agree though that she seemed somewhat UP for what she was hyped to be, but then again her master had an entirely independent and different method of fighting so she devoted much of her time to helping and protecting Iri because she believed in what they fed her "for the greater good" bullshit that they kept going on about. Once she saw his true nature she was pissed (though I agree when that happened IE how he killed Kayneth she probably should of had a stronger reaction). In the end she couldn't do anything because she was forced by command seals. She would have probably been a lot stronger if they didn't take her sheath for themselves since it has OP healing powers. She played a very conservative game and didn't push hard enough for one of her supposedly strong convictions but then again she ended up questioning her ideology for most of the show. | ||

I think you kinda missed the story behind Berserker. + Show Spoiler + Lancelot's whole deal is that he had an affair with Guinevere, but never received an "honourable punishment" from Arthur, all because of Saber's hangups about being a terrible King, a fake "husband", etc. The whole reason he went "berserk" is because he was denied an honourable death for his crimes. If anything, the encounters with Rider and Lancelot just further enforced Saber's belief that knightly honour was important, and that she was a terrible King. | ||

I know the backstory, I don't believe it changes what I said though. She messed up but thats part of the King Arthur legends, trying to be "perfect" and all that but failing because of human nature. I don't think she killed him in a dishonorable way, and infact gave him what he wanted except too late to save his sanity. She was blind to some things because of the burden of her ideology, which she was starting to realize during F/Z. Even before she was questioning things which is why she entered the contest to begin with. | ||

Some of the shows kinda look intriguing to me but I dont wanna waste time watching them just to find out they're bad. Non Non Biyori, Daiya no Ace, Miss Monochrome and Gingitsune. Teekyuu s3 is airing too, so if you haven't seen the previous seasons you should try it (it's 5 min shorts, but really good ones) Ragz already mentioned Golden Time, too. I don't think I can rec much else from this season with good conscience. Edit: Forgot Log Horizon, it's pretty nice and gives big nostalgia feels if you've played MMOs extensively in the past. | ||

Arpeggio 5 + Show Spoiler + Iona is being undersold, Haruna potentially oversold even though she is quite awesome, Inc more Haruna awesomeness next ep at the mansion too. Mini-Takao's should appear next episode I think?maybe ep 7. | ||

To add on: - Nagi no Asukara - White Album 2 Both great shows and art is very well done. Characters are fleshed out as well and unique personalities. | ||
