New Fate/Stay Night Anime Announced!

Yeah, what I mean is that the actual sex scenes theirselves do contain some important character development in HF.

Shirou's dick is an important supporting character.

It soothes all emotional scars.

Well, it's not like they'll do every character development scene in an anime anyways.
Besides, I pretty much prefer this to "No, nii-san can't drink my blood because senpai already accepted me!".

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, definitely.

It's not ideal, but it's the best they're likely to get without adding the porn, which would lose them a lot of viewers.

[Elf]

The KnK movies had the rape scene in it.

Theoretically it could be done, they'd just have to be really creative about it.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, there's no reason why they can't get across the importance of the sex scenes to Sakura's mental state without actually showing the details. They managed to get across "God, what are they doing to poor Sakura!" in the Zero anime (although they made a bit of a mess of the ending with Kariya, IMO)....

Honestly the best way to handle it is skipping over the actual sex. Really, you aren't missing much from HF if you take out the H - scenes

Well, the sex itself isn't important, but the fact that it happened is, and I recall there being some important plot elements in those scenes (although not during the sex itself).

Well, while I have no idea about the route still, apparently we might finally find out the 30th of this month (likely in Volume 9 of Type Moon Ace, to be precise):

The trailer remains vague on that, as a lot of that footage is just from the vita opening. But still, dat Emiya. We may be getting a remix after all if this trailer is to be trusted.

[Cherry Lover]

Lol, that's the same link Nerroth posted.

We can't tell an awful lot from it, honestly, but I suspect they're going to do either some sort of mix or all three routes. They're focussing too much on Saber for it to be pure HF, but it seems odd to me to make another Fate adaptation (which would have to compete with the existing one) when they could adapt HF and have no competition at all. Even with Saber's extra popularity that's surely got to be a factor.

[Alice]

...Oops. Sorry Nerroth. I'm an idiot, and this is why I shouldn't look at this stuff at 4-5 in the morning.

But like I said, I'm hoping for all three routes to be adapted. I don't know about it being a HF adaptation for sure, however; while all the footage from the Vita openers is there, I think I remember one of the new Saber scenes being specifically from Fate. I could be remembering wrong though. Though the part with Rin summoning Archer and Archer sitting on the couch could technically make it any route, considering the prologue was technically separate from any specific route, if I remember right. So really, it could be anything.

I guess we'll find out on January 30th though.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, is the Saber stuff the only thing that is new?

If so then that makes it look like it might be a Fate adapation, which would be really shit. We already have a Fate adaptation (albeit not a brilliant one)....

[Alice]

Nah, if I recall correctly, the Rin summoning scene and the Archer on the couch scene might also be new. ...I could be remembering all this wrong though.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, those could both also be from Fate, though....

[Nerroth]

It'll air in the Autumn 2014 season. (Still no outright confirmation route-wise.)
