still... for those who never played the game... something like that doesn't tell u much... some could just say... Rin gave Archer that amulet as well?Originally Posted by LaZyKiD

Seriously, the foreshadowing was obvious enough to get a pretty good idea of who it was. The amulet is what confirms it was Shirou.
Hey guys I'm new here but I was wondering is there more to Fate/Stay Night because I don't want it to end at episodes 24 and Saber dieng...T_T
I'm pretty sure there won't be any follow-up stuff.
Most likely they won't. But I'm still hoping that they do the other two scenarios.

Huu...Final ep from AonE is out!
/me looks at all the "Die" signs...
Damn, just finished this series and i gotta say, it was awesome. I didn't realize who archer was while watching the series. I guess it does make a lot of sense now that I've read most of the comments here and the whole wikipedia article on him. As for it being obvious, a lot of it could have been attributed to coincidence ...###
scratch that i just looked back at how he got his weapons and it should have been apparent (at least a few episodes later that is). He uses the EXACT same method that shiro uses and we know that Servants, nor anyone else we know of, are not supposed to be able to do that. Furthermore, he uses a Reality Marble something which it said only magicians were able to do (none of the Servants were magicians except Caster). His comment to Ilya shows that he has had prior knowledge of her character.
As for archers personality check out the wikipedia article - it explains it completely.
I'd have to say that this had the best ending out of all the anime's that i can recall. Normally there would have been a way for Shiro and Saber to be together which would have been extremely corny. I especially liked how they showed his thoughts at the end where he wanted to be with her but knew that it was ultimately the wrong thing to do. I guess it shows him getting over the selfish quality of his that prevailed throughout the anime of wanting to be with Saber no matter what. This is also evident in the way (his explanation) of how he will deal with her loss. The ending's lyrics make sense when compared to the overall feel of the anime and the mood created by the last few minutes, however, i do not think that the music should have been so cheery. It kinda downplayed and contradicted everything that had happened in that last episode.
I also think that knowing Shiro's future (from wikipedia) made it all the better. Knowing that he would finally realize that his ideal wasn't all the he thought it was (not that I'm being sadistic, but it was an ideal that could only realistically lead to that painful discovery) makes it more realistic and therefore better, even if it is only in my eyes.

Sorry for bringing up a dead thread, but I just finished this series so I thought I would make a comment =]. I hope this doesn't cause problems.
Ahh I wish I knew archer was shiro in the beginning of the series. Now I am smacking myself in the head saying "Why didn't I notice that!"
Anyways, this was a fantastic series, and I wish they made it longer or had some sequals. I never played the games, but read I wikipedia on how there are different endings and how archer has his own storyline. I think it would be really cool if they made a sequal of how shiro develops into archer, and maybe have the end of the that series be the same as the beginning of the first series, with archer appearing as Rin's servant.
The ending really displays the highest of human selflessness. If I loved someone that much I would definately try a lot harder to convince them to say. I may have even used a command spell to make her stay...
I am also wondering, why is the show called Fate/Stay Night?
Other than that, fantastic anime, fanstastic sound track (downloading the OST right now). =]
Bah, servants don't have memory of their past summonings - its explained in game - they are outside cycle of time, and only copies are summoned to world without memory of other copies. This topic was necromanced arleady so don't warn me for it please :]

Anyone who has played the UBW route of the game knows Archer's story is very morbid and dispirited. Hardly one that would make a very nice anime. The FSN anime doesn't really touch his character deep enough to let you know.
There are lots of people in the audience who hate Shirou, and while I didn't exactly enjoy him as a main character, you have to admit his one-sidedness is actually deeper than great many better developed and more believable ordinary characters. Gross flaws can give enormous potential.
And, Xelbair, this forum has no such necromancy rules. Only useless necromancy is ill tolerated. Otherwise it's the contrary: If a thread exists already, no matter how old, you may not make a new one for the same series.
They dislike shirou because they only know his idealistic side, the one that was presented to them in the Fate route and the anime.
I disagree with you, i think a UBW based anime would do very well, not only would it already have a fan base it would present many of the character in a new and, in my opinion, better way. Of all the routes, it's the one that feels more real to me.
The one route that will never be passed to anime will probably be HF, but for different reasons.
Actually you don't disagree with me. I said "a very nice" in the sense it wouldn't be quite as clean, friendly, and smooth as the Fate route. It would make a good anime, of course, just not a very nice one compared to the existing mostly Fate based one. Kind of grisly. I'd love it, naturally. But who knows, we have shows like Ga-Rei Zero already so the UBW atmosphere wouldn't be anything new in the end.
I'm also pretty sure that a seperate thread was created to discuss the game... so lets keep those borderline game spoilers in that thread. Don't want them here on the off chance that a sequel for this series is made.
Its immposible to make sequel - all routes in game are other storylines and the anime combined them all(which is bad compared to game)... well its possible but that would be based on another game Fate\Hollow Ataraxia.
p.s.
Munsu - i really cant belive in your post counter - over 10k posts in 5 years. Awesome.

Oh course it's possible to have a "sequel", they just need to do an alternate retelling.
Such thing is not unusual.
Heck, the non-existent Tsukihime anime would need that too.
If they ever tried to make a Tsukihime anime, I would think it would be a lot harder. Didn't the Tsukihime game have a lot more story paths than the 3 of F/SN? I don't think that Satsuki really got her own storyline, though she is in several other ones. I haven't played it, but I believe that both Hisui and Kohaku had their own separate endings. That's two not including Arcueid and the main heroine, Akiha.
Arc, Ciel, Akiha, Hisui, Kohaku for a total of 9 endings.
It's more like two complete storylines. The Arc/Ciel storyline is quite different from the Akiha/Hisui/Kohaku storyline and if they want, they can make an anime purely based on the latter one. IMO, it's not as good as the Arc/Ciel storyline.
Well, considering there's a Remake of Tsukihime (Visual Novel) due for 2009 (or 2010? I'm not sure) We can hope a new anime based on that one. And from the current information, it should also have the missing Sacchin route.
Only on episode 7 but loving it. So far the story seems thought out, good characterization, can't wait for some of the larger battles.
