Here is a scene from Unlimited Blade Works, which is a movie based off a route in one of the Fate/Stay Night visual novels.

Here is the same franchise with one of the leading villains playing a main role:

...just...how?
How do you go from something where fuckers get impaled and killed on screen on a minutely basis...
...to this?

Not to mention that the original games (and to an extent the anime) were all about sex to the point where they went out of their way to make the MC a man whore.

Did I mention I hate the original story? I was really happy when I was convinced they retconned the sex.
Seriously, though. This fucking series hits so many places on the Amazing to Asinine spectrum that I'm not even sure if I like it or not. I love Carnival Phantasm and the story isn't the worst, it's the pointless hentai that puts me off.
Thankfully, searching the internet I'm not the only one that shares the sentiment that Shirou should just fuck off and die.
Smells like Nomura.
