A great ritual that materializes the greatest holy artifact, the Holy Grail. The one who obtains the Holy Grail will have any wish come true.
If we wish to make arguments at all about intent.Fate/Stay Night Free Download PC Game Cracked in Direct Link and Torrent. I did watch Garden of Sinners, and assuming that is from the same people as this show, then it may be safe to argue that they never really intended for any major sexual content to be present in the first place. Political and philosophical content tends to be a much larger issue in the visual media now, as violence and sexual content have become ubiquitous due to their perceived monetary value -real or not. Sometimes to fit the basic form of the medium, such as run-time, sometimes for content.
Really, most TV, in the States as well as Japan, have their content altered by the stations that air them. So, it really does not matter in the end what the artist's intention was, what matters is the ability of the artist to communicate that intention. That is to say: this current animation is actually more likely to represent the artist's vision than a visual novel.Ģ) In the end, text can only be seen as text, and contextual considerations remain just that -outside of the work itself. The work began as a visual novel, yes, but those are rarely products of vision, rather they exist as products of the financial pressures artists face. For the most part, sexual content is added in order to simply add monetary value to the work in question. Uh honestly, I am only vaguely aware of what you are talking about, but there are a few things to consider:ġ) The narrative that sexual content is censored nowadays is usually flatly wrong. If the Japanese PC gaming industry happened to find an audience where viabe mainstream stories can afford to show these things too, then we can either call those works "porn" and conclude that in the Japanese pop-cultural tradition, porn and art arenn't that contradictory, or we can say that "porn" is only a label for works that lack artistic value, therefore F/SN is not porn by definition.īut in either case, simply saying that F/SN can't have artistic value because is porn, is misapplying western labels to Japanese media aesthetics. People usually assume that "porn" and "art" are contradictory, because s they are commnly produced in the modern western tradition, all artistic works intended to be commercially viable have to restrain themselves from certain specific scenes, such as on-screen penetration and ejaculation, so any film that does have those, is assumed to be waiving it's intention to be art, and any that refrains from showing them is assumed to be art, even if it has it's own sex scenes. Having a handful of scenes in a work that's tone you kind of dislike, doesn't have to put the whole work's treatment in an entirely new frame of reference. Yes, Saber is a porn character, and yes, the adult content in the VN is a mistake, and yes, it should be considered canon (for as little as the concept of "canon" is worth anyways). No, the F/SN VN being porn doesn't undermine the value of the franchise, and yes, the adaptations are censored porn. Looking at how Fate/Zero handled itself I honestly think the Fate stuff is better when detached from the original VN which was written by a rookie.Ĭlick to expand.You are not asking mutually exclusive questions. Honestly, I think the story is better without them. The VN's sex scenes were there but besides the mana transfer stuff it was unimportant. The anime and the VN are seperate entities as far as I see it. (I can't wait for that Izanagi guy's thread on the matter if they reveal that in the anime)Īnyway, as for OP's question. In fact, Shinji uses a Command Spell in the VN to force Rider to have sex with him, despite his ability to transfer mana normally and despite it being against her will and it buffs her power quite significantly.
So while a kiss will transfer some, full on sex is the best way. The explanation behind it if I recall is that the more intimate, the more efficient the mana transfer. Because of Shiro being a bad mage he can't supply Saber with mana like normal and so he has to do so physically. The main reason for sex in the VNs is for mana transfer.
