She's just misunderstood. How many episodes have you gotten through now?
I was actually surprised by that, but the way it was shown
makes it feel naturally part of the tragedy-drama theme that the entire episode had going for it. She survived the encounter in ep21, but this is more like a fate worse than death. A further testament to the cruelty of this world.

Why must you insist on torturing yourself.
Those F/SN images look really, really bad. Any minor curious desire I might have had to check out the TV series again is completely gone now.
It's like a civic duty. My sacrifice has helped Duckroll save hours!

Tell me that this is a toy bus on a toy bridge with other toy cars.

For me
it felt like a mixture of an extremely transparent piece of writing combined with a humorously over-the-top 'dark' twist that I'd expect some of the worst elements of the show. She can't just be disabled and in a wheelchair, but she has to be brain damaged. Heck, every line she has is also super-tragic as well, just in case you didn't realise that her fate was cruel. Way to hit me over the head.

Minor detail from the novels:
Kirei saved her shortly after Kariya left (being a naturally talented healer and all that). While he has no problem with people killing each other, he wouldn't leave a person to die in his own church. Although Gen probably could've left her to die there anyway, since she's never talked of or heard from again in any other work.
I can't speak for Type-Moon, but âge and 0verflow's stuff are mostly multi-ending, so even for people who only like good endings, the bad endings give meaning to achieving the good ones.

They need to make a couple of OVAs showingdevolving into their FSN versions.Sakura, Rin, Ilya, Shirou, and Saber
Bwahahaha.
Don't talk about such things. The only thing that exists is Fate/Zero.
I'm not sure why people want this, since although Ufotable could certainly improve the art direction, they can't really fix the characters or nasu writing without practically making a different series.
So, this is the commercial Katsushi Ōta was talking about some time ago, right? Here:
『栗山千明の新月朗読館』 | 最前線

You were right, duckroll!
『栗山千明の新月朗読館』 | 最前線
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HOQZmY6p-E
You were right, duckroll!
But at least ufotable really is implicated on this.
There is certainly a disconnect between what the show sells itself in its marketing and what it becomes. The early episode's seemingly shoe-horned and flat humor don't exactly help either before the tone becomes much more consistent and focused later on.
I'm just starting episode 10. "A Stormy Night"
They explained her back story in the last episode and apparently everything is honky dorey now, but we'll see.
I don't see a problem with that.
When I say "please remake FSN", I'm talking about actually remaking the thing. Like, creating a fourth route.

It's kinda funny that they'd bother to "fix" the ED but not even spend and relatively infinitesimal amount of time touching up the OP which is rather unnerving at times:
Then again, it's not like this series is known for its production values as this gif will clearly show:
Is it a sin for a man to dream?
Do these characters have the same expression on at all times? Every shot I've seen of this show, they're always sporting the same smile.
This thread is going to get more and more depressing with each passing day now.
They have their smile face and their "worried about Rick's Bread" face.
But that's it.

Jesus Christ, what the hell was that ending.
On another note, I find all the children's cartoon tropes almost charming. The fact that they have to show how every single bad guy manages to survive when
their planes get blown up

You know, after 10 episodes this was the first time I could tell this anime was a JRPG adaptation.
So uh, recaps everywhere. Not actual flashbacks but instead toss in grayed out recaps for everyone to see. They also finally explained why the preferred method of arriving on the island is via washing up on shore.
The music was pretty nice at one point of the episode.
And at least Rick finally found his true self. And, I liked it better when this was a bread baking anime.

It's okay guys at least we still have this to look forward to!
At least it's going to be classy, right?

A terrible manga? why would people look forward to it?
Jexhius, if by classy, you mean it has naked lolis, a brocon main character, and offensively poor writing (and that's all in only the first chapter) then yes!

If you finished watching Yuu's mother's backstory I am certain
that her craziness has past
Are you watching it sub or dub?

It was BAD. I still can't believe dumb that last episode was. :/
But episode 11 is so good. That background story was boss.
Fate/Stay Night 2
Terrible action aside, I was surprised to see
Shinji Matou looks so familiar as if he'd fit right in between Gargantua's different ages from Yami to Bōshi to Hon no Tabibito.
Maybe the F/SN VN is in Lilith's library too.

Shirou get killed off so early even if it was temporary. :lol Saber's already more likeable in this than she was in F/Z too.

Haru gets some development in his relationship with Yuki and
This paired with some fishing progress and terminology makes for a pretty nice episode.

I didn't actually play the games, I only know 0verflow from the School Days anime, and that... yeah. And what I've read about Muv-Luv made sure I'll stay very far away from Muv-Luv Total Eclipse - action, mecha and cute girls be damned.

Isn't that every day?
Saber is more likeable in FSN because of the contrast with Shirou, and not necessarily by own merits, though.
The best School Days ending is just as absurd as the worst ending. They balance each other out.

Guess who directed Fate/Stay Night.
I'm worried where this is headed. Kiritsugu was so dismissive of her in F/Z meanwhile this ep ends with the equivalent of:
Saber is summoned
Shirou: Hot.
Saber is summoned
Shirou: Hot.
Oh boy.

You mean the unnecessary info dump?
Just wait until you finish 12.
Fate Zero has nothing on Family Guy though!
FSN spoilers:
Shirou definitely falls in love with her by the end. They even go on a date together. Then the grail war ends and she returns to her own time and... Shirou's left alone while she finishes out the last moments of her life.
I thought the ending was pretty sad, myself.
Don't read this, Narag.
Too late! It was more or less expected though.
Why, 1stStrike? ._.
