Recently started diving into fate because of the banger OP from Strange/Fake. As someone who literally knew nothing besides Saber = King Arthur and Rin = Tsundere Blueprint, I’m shocked that Shirou is consistently my favorite. Seeing him for the first time I was like “oh there’s the bland MC all the girls will love” I WAS WRONG HE DESERVES EVERYTHING. Only just starting the VN after Fake, UBW, Heavens Feel & Zero I can’t wait to find out all I have missed and all the nuances not in anime. After watching all the Saber suffering I really need her happy end now.
Thank you Strange/Fake for being simultaneously a great and terrible entry point lol. I spent the whole show going “damn I’m definitely missing a lot of stuff”
