フェイト/ステイナイト has a lot of talking. Shakespeare-level soliloquies - except they are talking to other characters. It's exposition. It was based on a game, so I suppose it's excusable. I should have suspected this when it turned into a harem anime half-way through. There is no reason why I should still enjoy these types of shows. I mean, geez - I'm guessing the target audience is 13 to 17 year olds. Yet I really liked the pangs in my gut when Saber faded away in the rising sunlight as she whispered あなたを...愛してる. All the ridiculous action and dialog I can do without. I kept thinking about Kitty Pride story arcs as a comparison. Duty-Love. Innocence-Wisdom. Which one do we value? Which do we wish for? Which do we end up choosing?
