We’ve finally reached the end of the first route of the game, which means it’s finally time to talk about the big picture for a bit. We discuss whether or not the Fate route accomplished what it set out to do, how the ending made us feel, and what we hope to see in the future routes.

We have arrived at the first sex scene of Fate/Stay Night. Is it as bad as we feared? Well…yes and no. It’s complicated. On this episode, we learn Saber’s identity, get kidnapped by Illya, fight Berserker, make a sacrifice, and get our final lesson from Rin.

The Grail War has begun. The main cast has been introduced. The exposition has been dumped. Now it’s time to really get into the thick of it. On this episode: Shirou gets deep into GENDER, Rin defeats her opponents (except Sakura) with facts and logics, Shinji continues to be a creep, and Saber just really wants to kill something, like right now.
