These types of characters, the type that starts off naive and idealistic generally mature or at least develop but not Shirou. Shirou logic: I have almost been killed multiple times. His special ability is being impervious to anything macabre. Shirou is the naivest and most idealistic cherry boy I have ever seen. The characters that received most of it were abjectly cliche and mundane. Literally nothing is known about them asides from their superficial identities. Most of the characters were scarcely developed and characterised. Upon inspection, these ’slice of life’ moments were just fan service. Trivium for some reason, this anime was revered as a slice of life when it was airing. The most flagrant one is Shirou's plot armour that countlessly saves him. Then she moves to ’cover’ (behind a little gravestone) and wrecks berserker. She then proceeds to 1v1 him as though they are of equal calibre. One being Saber commenting on Berserker’s ability to simultaneously solo all the servants. Due to the complete absence of characterisation, no one cared. The fights are just random clashes with no deciding outcomes and little build-up. The story is littered with pseudo-drama, pseudo-fights, and cliff hangers, which are sometimes intriguing, that evokes utter disappointment and results in pointlessness. The characters are non-progressive as they are constantly engaged in purposeless chatter and dawdling. Progress in this anime is almost non-existent. Not much is done to contribute to the Holy Grail War as apparently-going on a date is more important. For 8 episodes, we are forced to endure Shirou’s petty conversations with Rin inside his home or at school. Most of the anime is focused on the relational struggles of the protagonist and some high school girl. It’s about the harem Shirou obliviously leads. Peril.’ As one may have guessed, this anime isn’t really about the war. ‘I am going to lead my harem life and ignore every This should be a gruesome event with fights to the death, BUT. The story consists of tossing a teenage boy into the Holy Grail war (an Armageddon between masters (contemporary individuals who supposedly command their respective servants) and servants (summoned titans) for the sake of obtaining the Holy Grail). Well move closer to the screen and let senpai explain. If one is expecting a grand follow-up to Fate Zero, one is gravely mistaken. This is the most overrated anime I have ever seen.
