Spoiler:

Yes, to end the cycle, and either becomes a Heroic Spirit afterwards, or according other legends, her body is taken to Avalon and she goes into eternal sleep.

I do wonder if fans of anime can accept this ending.

It's the most likely ending, since it's probably the most "drama-movie-like" out of all 5 endings (+ it's the main heroine's ending). The others are all either too happy or lack the right kind of punch.

Heavens Feel's true ending is nice, but the problem is directing the story there, which seems a little hard with where the anime is right now.

Or they might just make up an original ending, you never know.

Hmmm..... okay, thanks for the help.

[stormy001_M1A2]

Spoiler:

One thing for sure, Rider fans will not be happy.

i have a question, when Rin was using magic on berserker, she says the words in *German*. Why use German? she can use french, spanish or something else, any significance behind the use of using German in saying the magic words?

[fict_ticious]

My explination^: German for the Japanese is like French for the Canadians.

[stormy001_M1A2]

The writer likes German culture, I guess.

[roan]

because kishua zelretch schweinorg is german.

Shirou's Reality Marble is the power of Imaging, which is basically to create anything he can imagine, up to the limit of his willpower. (he normally Traces because making a copy of an object is easier than inventing something entirely new.).

Basically, Archer is telling Shirou, that since humans normally doesn't stand a chance against a Servant, that instead, he should imagine something using UBW that he can use to defeat his opponent.

Spoiler:

so we should expect to see something where Shirou uses his UBW on the stage against Gil perhaps =P. So, not only does Shirou will show his tracing talent but will use his UBW to kick some butty mun xP

I have some questions regarding episode 10.
1) Ilya and Shirou mentioned some kind of magic mark , which is given to the successor by the parents (and I 'm sure I've also heard this "magic mark" in earlier episodes ) . So , how does it look like and what exactly does it do ?
2) I heard there was MUCH more to Rin and Shinji conversation in the game. Can someone tell me in a few words what did they talk about besides what was shown in anime?

1. Majutsu Kokuin 魔術刻印. I'd just call them Magic Seals. They are usually tattoo-like markings that are "carved" onto the successor of a family of magicians. Within them contains the lifeworks of every previous magicians within the family. The longer the family history, the more information is contained within them. Besides serving as the "proof" of a legitimate successor, the information contained within them often include various one-of-a-kind spells unique to the family. The succesors of the family, rather than learning them one by one from scratch, simply has to supply the seal with magic power (odo, not necessarily mana) through their magic circuits, combined with a set keyword, and the spell could be activated.

Every family's seals are different, so there are no set designs on what they look like. The green markings shown on Rin's left forearm during the school chase are her magic seals.

2. There was? I don't really remember, except the part where she punched him in the face.

[Incoan]

1) Thanks for the answer
2) Ok, then nvm that. :P

Okay here goes. What makes anime based off Hentai games so popular and inevitable hits. I've seen a bit of Shuffle and some Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Green Green among others and from what I can tell they often feature a cookie cutter plot of a male who is surrounded by women who are desperate to take care of him and constantly fawn over him. Stock Characters abound and confused sexual inneundo's and light hearted comedic moments ensue for much of the series while each character gets an arc. Then fans speculate over who he will choose and who is the least annoying as it gears up to an ending which always seems to be some tragic event that injures a major character. I am just trying to understand why this genre is growing so rapidly and enjoys such popularity over other genres such as Mecha, Action and Slice Of Life stories, and why they can't do something with it other than the plot I have previously mentioned. Some have their charm but the genre of Hentai-To Anime can only go so far in my opinion. Sound off on this if you'd like. I wanted to create a new topic for this but for some reason I'm restricted for doing so in this forum.

Kaioshin_Sama,

Lots of people like typical. Though I would hardly call F/SN a typical HentaiGame->Anime, it does have some symptoms of the genre.

Mecha, Action and Slice Of Life stories are often just as typical. Almost all of anime and fiction in general follows one pattern or another because those patterns appeal to us on a subconcious level. It's not something you can escape completely. But what the best series do is go deeper than the formula. Some might call Haibane Renmei a slice of life anime, but it has very little to do with something like Sister Princess. And this is just my personal opinion, but the former is infinately better than the latter.

I think F/SN has that deeper element to it. But again this is all my opinion.
