Honest Review Of Fate/Stay Night (2006) 

"Limited budget works" is the perfect description of this show lol

in mexico the scene "people die when they are killed" was translated as "people should die when they are killed" wich made a lot more sense since shirou has basically died a lot before

Caster does indeed in the visual novel go out that easily. Granted at that point in the story nothing is accurate to the visual novel anymore since it now has elements of every route that are not even mentioned in that route show up. I mean every time Gilgamesh shows up in the visual novel he dunks on someone. The only time that wasn't the case was in heaven's feel and unironically that was because shirou sexed sakura.

This is the most based shiro of them all. - Believes all women are weak - Refuses to commit premarital sex unless it's an emergency - Still such a huge simp that he would literally get smacked in the face by heracles to protect his girl Sleeping in the same house as a maiden is haram and shirou knows it

Many have waited for a remake so that we could see the beautiful ending but for it to happen two miracles must occur

It was my first Fate series and as a Saber simper ...It is personally my favourite route..😁

Fun Fact: Saber despite physically being younger than Shirou is actually 35 due to Excalibur stopping her aging. Funnily enough this wasn’t revealed in the VN. I think it was F/GO which would explain why The Lion King looks more mature. Note: This make Ilya and Saber the only members of Shirou’s harem in this show 18 and older. Since Ilya is 18.

The CGI dragon as you can guess was actually taken from the censored version. Rin straight up forced Shirou into a threesome in order to replenish Saber’s magic reserves. I should also mention that was the first NSFW scene in Fate.

Illya acted in this anime like she usually does, she's acting out of character in the ufotable adaptations also that "small movie" is just straight up Kaleid's continuation

i feel the need to point out that shirou was only using the "women shouldn't fight" thing as a VERY thinly veiled excuse, he never believed that, he just didn't want anyone other than himself to fight because of that whole "hero of justice" thing.

Fun fact: I think the only reason why Shirou lived was because of Avalon since it heals all wounds no matter how dangerous it was. That was also how Saber tanked Ea to the face, yeah it’s basically True magic with how broken it is {Crazy since she rarely uses it BECAUSE SHE NEVER HAS IT}

Rider had an actual boss fight in this route. I don't know how it's handled in the anime, but it was something I wanted to point out. I enjoyed everyone of your reviews, it's nice ho watch this content once in a while. I promote the A Certain Series next (Index + Railgun + Accelererator), which should give you at least 8 videos of content for now, with content ranging from very good to somewhat ok.

I do believe you have reviewed almost all the animated Shinji's. Only the bad UBW movie to go and the Shinjiverse will be completed. Good luck watching that rushed film though. Not even Shinji Matou can save the movie from being as cramped and rushed as it is. They stuffed 24 episodes into a bit over an hour and a half. Also, Shinji x Shirou Podcast ship is the only correct outcome.

The healing shirou has is from the scaburd which was also the Catilyst for saber

Oh god! He did it... he finally watched the Beginning of the "Murder-Death-Kill" Now... Let's him suffer by recommending "Tsukihime" (The Anime Version)

3:54 it was also 6 in the anime for some reason the specific sentence where illya says 6 is mistranslated in the anime its possible its a mistake of the japanese voice actress since in later episodes its stated to be 6(when illya explains heracles abillity to rin and when heracles dies) also i just wanted to mention that even tho this fight is great it was actually offscreen in the visuel novel and we dont know how archer took 6 of heracles lives

the main reason this anime isn't watch first is because it spoils heavens feel and UBW Kuzuki wasn't meant to be revealed until UBW Archer used UBW against Berserker (his battle was offscreen in the VN) That whole sakura caster thing is anime only and was basically the end of HF Also Gil killing Caster was way for violent in the VN because she had regeneration, so he just kept spamming and she kept regenerating until she broke into insane laughs and ran out of mana (she had a lot of mana) EDIT you should check out garden of sinners

Thank you for you hard work on this series. I really enjoyed everyone of it.

Thank you for covering this anime as it is undeservingly not being recommended by "veterans" and as a result it is skipped by a lot of new fans who should in all honesty start with it. Sure it has it's flaws, but so does every other Fate anime. What I will say about this one - it has best girl at a spotlight and best OST out of all of them (Kawai Kenji really nailed Fate music here).

This series in particular was meant to touch on all three routes for whatever reason. It has its flaws to be sure, but overall I think the bad rep it gets is over-dramatized. I do think it's unfortunate that they chose to completely re-write the Heavens Feel stuff though. I suppose that was meant to be some sort of compromise that allowed them to include it while still maintaining some semblance of continuity with the rest of the series. Illya's creepiness is actually how she's supposed to be. It doesn't show up in UBW since she's not a big part of that route and unfortunately the anime adaptation of the Heavens Feel route sacrificed a lot of her screen time in order to make more room for Sakura. Illya fans got the short end of the stick when it comes to anime adaptations unfortunately; Sure there's Prisma Illya (Nasu said he considers that to be the Illya route. What a cop out.), but it just isn't the same. Originally, Illya was supposed to have her own route but it was ultimately merged with Heavens Feel in order to save time, so by cutting her content we Illya fans were just left out in the cold.

To be honest, i dislike to see how much overlooked is the Fate route, as even many people are unaware from its existence, to the point that when its talked about Fate Stay Night, it always mentions only UBW and Heaven's Feels, but rarely its mentioned the Fate route. Its truly sad, especially as i am fan from Shirou x Saber ❤

How about doing the Index series? Because of how many protagonists it has, it's like the MCU, but anime. Though, in my opinion, I prefer Index over the MCU.

Now that you mentioned Kara no Kyoukai, I gotta request that you watch it all. The visuals and audio are great for a series that had the first few films released in 2007. Just make sure you watch it in release order and not chronological order otherwise it'll ruin the entire experience

I feel like when they made saber in the first fate and zero they were like yep we perfected it no need to expand on her character in future series just make her do cute things lol. This one back when it came out just hit that right niche for me because I was obsessed with Arthurian lore back when I was younger I love the tragic elements, flaws and character of saber

When it comes to the Fate anime adaptations, to me this is still the best to start (at least FSN). You get the simplest plot even with the filler from other Routes, presents the basic concepts and worldbuilding knowledge for the rest of the series that after that should only work as a reminder, and the most general (still somehow falwed) version of the charcaters, like Shirou who gives plenty of monologues that perfectly detail how his sense of justice works and his general feeling, only for other works to build up on that or present it in other light, even if it's just a bit compared to the VN, also Saber gets a lot of focus and is the closest we get to experience more of how her rule was as King and how she felt about it. If your gonna keep with the series I hope you have as much fun as you have until now, and it'd be great if you could peep the VN if you're interested, it gives more details in the character's mentality and their arcs (especially Shirou and Saber, but quite others too like Kirei in HF) and of course the themes of the story, I'd say it's worth it and it may help you see many characters that while you seem to enjoy still have your gripes, under a different light.

So glad you did this one. I think the most surprising part of the anime for me when I watched it was CGI dragon. Also Saber getting folded as much as she did.

Bro you very quickly became one of my favourite channels, your satire is amazing

I loved this series luna. Thank you for covering all the fates. Now its time for the visual novels, game, mangas and then to create new entries of fate yourself

Awesome review series collection you've piled up, I can tell you had a fun yet challenging time with it. Thanx for the effort. As infamous as the Deen studio adaptation was, I enjoyed the old school anime art-style and your comments about each character here specifically voiced all my thoughts to a T.

It sucks that such a powerful line was ruined cause it was mistranslated in this anime so it says "people die if they are killed" instead of "when". When Shirou says "People die when they are killed, it should remain that way" it's just really sad cause you see him get hurt a lot and experience stuff that would kill even the strongest irl human and he's now taking away the ability to survive that kind of stuff willingly just to help Saber, but now it's just treated like a joke. 10/10 has a little something for everyone.

Finally caught up with Lunar's Fate videos. I love your vids so much!!!

THANK YOU for doing all the current Fate series!

This is the anime where I truly fell in love with fictional character Saber. Man did Nasu wrote Saber beautifully. Well, Sakura from Naruto might also be reason where Saber strike harder as female heroine

I love your alternate titles for this series. As for the next series I think Zetsuen no Tempest would be a fun one.

Great review as always, one I'd like to see is FMA 2003 followed by FMA brotherhood, i never get tired of people bringing other people to the classic 03 anime, and talk about how brotherhood feels like a complementary experience rather than one great anime

The fact that you finished most of fate series is a achievement on it's own,congrats man. Also I would want to recommend code geass for the next anime but it's somewhat long(25eposide with2 season)but hey it has it's own shinji and shiro.

Man I can't wait to see you explaining Kara no Kyoukai

I'm surprised you liked it so much with such complaints 😂 well I'm glad. Shirous character is definitely much more grating without knowing context behind his actions like in the vn, definitely. Put me on the list as someone who wants to see you review Kara no kyoukai next! Also check out the tsukihime manga whenever you have time!

You thought Illya was weird on Shirou on the Saber route? She transferred Shirou's consciousness into one of her dolls in one of the bad endings.

In all seriouness, I'm going to miss your Fate reviews. In the beggining I thought you were going to review only Zero, UBW and the HF trillogy, but now you have watched more Fate than I. You have witnessed the highs and lows of the franchise and, as a Fate fan myself, I can only hope you enjoyed your stay.

Recommend Senki Zesshou Symphogear for the next review video :D Selling point: 'the space shuttle scene' that opens season 3 (Symphogear GX) being just the tip of the iceberg for the craziness of this series.

You included one of my favorite clips. It’s the one where Shirou is trying to be all romantic and Saber is so into the movie fight scene that she punching the air. 😭

Did you watch the Kara no Kyoukai movies? They were great and are also part of the Nasuverse.

Love your videos! Give Made in Abyss a shot. There’s 3 movies and a season ongoing. It’s a great show about kids

Loved your series, thanks for everything.

When i was a newbie in anime i watched fsn 2006 but dropped it after 2-3 episodes Then after years i thought let's start fate series then i watched fsn 2006 and i loved it ...osts were sweet then i completed every fate anime then reed the source material..and now m a typemoon fan....

Saber and shiro's relationship be like : Saber: I'm a strong independent woman Shiro:yeah ,but ur a woman Artoria:BUT I'M A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN WHO WAS FORCED TO BE A MAN shiro: but ur... a woman Saber:.....I'm hungy, cook dinner Shiro:yes ma'am

You should do rakudai kishi no cavalry. Oh and amazing video!

Please review Garden of Sinners. It has the best main character in the entire Nasuverse, the animation is gorgeous, the story is compelling, the other characters are compelling and it has one of, if not the best soundtracks of any anime.

You are supposed to star with the Fate route, but showing the events of other routes to combine into a single one was not met positively in hindsight, with the only Nasuverse adaptation that is less popular is Tsukihime's except it doesn't exist.

You want a recomendation: do the toaru series!!

Oh no dude even I didn't watch this one, respect for dedication

i loved this anime because it had the best romance i have ever seen, until i read the visual novel, i cried at least 3 times near the end of the route.😭😭😭😭 {SPOILER} It's really a shame they didn't animated gilgamesh cutting shirou in half...🤧🤧🤧🤧

Wooo Finally finished with all the Fate Animes. Might i recommend Utawarerumono and Tears To Tiara ? They are pretty good anime adapted from VN like fate

Garden of sinners/kara no kyoukai is pretty good, but pretty enigmatic, sometimes is hard to keep track of things. I will recommend it tho.

Christ bless you, i would like a remake of this ngl

Please watch the Unlimited blade works movie and the Tsukehime anime so I don't have to. If you want a serious suggestion, watch Kara No Kyohai. I'm watching those movies and they are amazing.

these are ust some anime which you can do a video on, i hope you consider them, i personally enjoyed all of them: danmachi, engage kiss, the yakuza's guide for babysitting, summer time rendering, darwins game, and gleipnir

The Budget was spent on the music, is extremely gud

Ay! Yo did it Lunar. I'll wait eagerly for your Garden of Sinners review. Get a spare brain for some extra Nasu bs processing lol

W btw U shoud try Goblin Slayer,its a good anime with little sus moments but action and plot are amazing

Although the animation was subpar and some scenes were inserted despite making 0 since within the context of the route I genuinely enjoyed deen and glad it started me on my fate path. Also you should definitely check out Kara no Kyoukai although there's a lot of info dumping and explanations Shiki's character is absolutely worth it

10:12 Man, you aren't the only one. I started with this version and even I zoned out whenever he said anything.

I am not a fan of the fate series but I really enjoy your video. May I humbly recommend a few of my favorite anime that you might find worthy of a video in the future. Fullmetal Alchemist, Violet Evergarden, Cowboy Bebop.

you should do one for "Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru" and maybe also "redo of a healer", same author.

I love this adaptation. I know that it was not faithful to his novel since I mix things from the 3 routes, however I don't know how to explain it, but it has something that touches my soul, I don't know if it is its soundtrack or the character designs. Maybe its animation is so pure and made 100% by hand, I don't know but it has something of those animations from that time between the 2000-2010 decade that transmit a lot of melancholy to me... This is the only route that I have cried out of the 3 What is important to keep in mind is that this adaptation was made so that the novel would sell more, for that reason they mixed things from the 3 routes to attract the attention of the Japanese viewer (not the Western one) and encourage them to buy the VN What I want to get at with this is that it was never intended to be a masterpiece of animation. They did not mix those 3 routes out of malice or because they did not know how to adapt it, this decision was made to make the novel popular and sell more. I mention this because the most common criticism made of it is from many people saying things like: "It's bad because it adapted terribly." But people don't realize that it was adapted this way on purpose, which means that it is not bad, at no time was it intended to be a faithful adaptation. It's like I say I'm going to draw the Mona Lisa painting, but my goal is simply to draw attention with my poorly done, handmade drawing, making it clear that I don't take it seriously. But people attack me because I didn't get close to the perfection of that painting, the same thing happened with this Ruta Saber 2006, it never pretended to be faithful as if it intended and made it ufotable XD Type Moon later saw the international success that Ruta Saber had in 2006, and they changed studios to ufotable to this time get serious about making a faithful adaptation, as if they achieved it with Ruta Rin and Sakura So I hope that in the year 2026 on the 20th anniversary of the release of this anime, ufotable will faithfully adapt the best route of all

The dragon scene is a reference to Artoria's second Excalibur, which she received from Merlin. That's why Shirou looks being in so much pain. 😂😂😂

This route ought to be readapted one day. It’s pretty epic.

I hold a bias this was my introduction to Fate following zero. Which lead me to the visual novel. Deen stay night by far has the best osts amongst the adaptations imo.

After Garden of Sinners you can check out the special episode of Lord El-melloi II Case Files, since there's a guest character from the movie series. We also can look forward to Fate/Strange Fake anime adaptation and Mahoutsukai no Yoru movie project by Ufotable. The Type-moon hype train won't stop!

This was overall a good anime yet confusing and weird, therefore it's best to watch it first when you start the fate series. Amazing soundtracks though ngl. Also Rin in this series had some class and didn't act as over-tsundere.

U should cover the alternate ending to ubw that nvr got a dub where Rin creates a contract with saber just like how the priest did with Gil to keep them. Saber shiro and rin go to king Arthur's grave, picnic and look at the sea and finally go to the college. It's 10 to 15 mins, perfect 10/10 Excaliburs

Dont stop! Just do all Type-moon universe!

Hey man, you should try march comes in like a lion. The most wholesome thing there is.

God I missed this. It was my first intro bootleg subs I bought from Honk Kong Market.

Please do a video about Gate Jietai It's AWESOME!

You the REALIST for watching this. I will remain subbed... FOR NOW

I recommend the all time classic and beloved series of.... Ex-Arm. No really. I think it would turn out great to hear you ran... talk. Yeah. Talk about it.

1 day isnt really a hiatus just take a rest yes i did read the description

9:24 this wasnt even the craziest shit he said in that scene

You have got to do Kakegurui

Please do the detective is already dead next

7:29 Saber: "I will become no one's property." (Meanwhile in Unlimited Blade Works) Caster Medea: "I'm about to end this man's whole career." (Meanwhile in Heaven's Feels) Angra Mainyu: "Hold my Grail."

Garden of sinners is a must watch, I will be looking forward to those reviews

The reason this should be watched frist is because of all the secrets and twists that are built up here but are just casually reviled in the other routes.

Make a Psycho-Pass review next.

I prefer my personal altered version of "people die when they're killed" "People die when they die" xd

Limited Budget Works got a laugh out of me :D

Can't wait for the review of Fate/Grand Carnival, considering you already in the path of gacha hell.

Fairy tail should be fun for you to do a arc by arc review! Dragon Ball would be funny as hell too.

okay, I have a question. I watched The OG Fate Years ago. But there is one thing I can't get. What's the sword shirou projected? if it is Caliburn, it shouldn't be stronger than Excalibur in any way to kill herc multiple times. Excalibur is far superior. and Caliburn will disintegrate if saber used it to her full capability. And if he projected Excalibur and saber had been using Caliburn from the start. well, That will explain how she killed herc, But won't explain how shirou projected it in the first place because it is a Divine Construct forged by the planet itself etc.

Not even one minute into the video and i hit sub lol

When lancer start fight gilgamesh, in the visual novel says he fight him until sunrise

Best apology 👏 👌

Philosiphers for years have been having a heated debate over the deeper meaning in the dialogue of this anime, and to this day, the debate has not ended, showing how deep it truly must be. As nobody has always said "Aristotle could never". Btw the only time i remember shirou winning something was that one fight in unlimited blade works, maybe it's just because i am forgetful but it must have been damn rare that i don't remember any other time.

I like this Fate more then the rest, but I don't like how it was adapted, it felt repetitive, and not so well executed, especially Shiro, I actually like his character(well because I've read the Manga and some of the graphic Novel) they Don't really capture who he truly is, besides that, great video👍

Garden of Sinners is really good, highly recommend it

You did it!

do Garden, its great tho confusing af at first

Great review, lol
