Every shot in these movies seemed to drip with meaning and was visually interesting. I love the red coloured jacket of Shiki that was always framed off to the side of shots unless it was action, which is an obvious allusion to blood and death. I love the creative use of rain on many occasions to draw out emotion. I love the positioning of Shiki's mystic eyes of death whenever they are in shot and how her dagger is always normally consistently low and off to the side, belying her subtle yet dangerous nature. I loved every camera shot framing Shiki in her apartment with Mikiya and how you could see their relationship shifting depending on their position and how Shiki was positioned on the bed. God it was fantastic. It really helped enhance an already stand-out show and deliver extra meaning above and beyond what was necessary.

Let's have a talk about it.

I'm not sure why the manga is trying to portray Chitoge as selfless and kind soul but it fucking fails. She didn't "give up" Raku because she wanted Onodera to be happy (it was his decision and he chose Kosaki then): she was a coward who was afraid of getting rejected. They don't need her 'permission'. That's why she runs away every time and "hands" out Raku to someone else when she overhears his heart isn't into her. Every time, she dresses that up in a pretense, but she's afraid to be rejected by him. She's still running away now and getting everyone worried to spare nobody else's feelings but her own. She didn't run for their sake, but her own, because she cannot face Onodera and Raku if they become a couple. She's a fucking coward and a child.

Onodera was a coward too. She wanted to avoid confrontation as a child and for Raku to be clear with Chitoge. That's why she danced with her feelings too for the status quo. But now Onodera actually grew up and wants to confront and solve this at fucking once. She acknowledges it's going to hurt them, but she's ready to face it. She's become an adult while Chitoge still acts like a self-absorbed little kid who runs away because things get too tough for her to handle.

~~Didn't even like Onodera but this chapter made her appear a mature adult.~~

>Killed and commited genocide on billions of people during his lifetime
>Indirectly killed the Z-Fighters
>Nearly killed Goku
>Threatened Gohan and Krillin numerous times on Namek
>Allowed Cell to absorb #18
>So far up his ass in trying to surpass Goku that he let himself get caught by Babidi's magic so he indirectly summoned Majin Buu
Why was this faggot even accepted by the Earthlings? No, Goku accepting him doesn't count since he lets everyone go but why did others do the same? The amount of mistakes he does in the series is asinine and got everyone almost killed, twice. Not even Tenshinhan and Piccolo were as bad as this guy.

Fate/stay night is the best-written and most complex anime of all time.

The essential nature of heroic ideals, and an in-depth exploration on what would motivate someone to follow that path. The idea of selfish actions for selfless reasons. A dilemma between logic and emotion (Rin's conflict). The idea of facades and how we hide ourselves within society. Consequentialism and regret; nihilism (Saber's conflict). Existence and individuality (Shirou's "rebirth" following his death in the fire). The meaning of choice. Contrasting of several different philosophies (Pragmatism, Altruism, Idealism, Utilitarianism, etc). Perceptions of people (very overt with the way Shirou perceives his father vs everyone else). Cultural expectations of good and evil (Shirou/Kirei). Consent and fate (Medea and EMIYA). Societal values and morality.

Prove me wrong.

Fate/Stay Night is a visual novel, secondary scum.

I might have agreed with you a few days ago but I recently started watching an anime entitled Pico to Chico, and all I can say is… Wow. Unlike so many modern shows that stumble over every excruciating minutia of their characters, Pico to Chico tastefully crafts a story and leaves the characters to mystery (only a fool would dare call the character development “shallow”). Post-modern existentialism is the soup of the day as we progress through their adventure, only to find that materialism is the only thing that keeps us living, but it’s not in a pompous, pseudo-intellectual style that implies that’s a recent phenomena; it’s handled delicately but will impact you in a way that leaves you asking “Why?” Unlike our hack-ridden film industry, Pico to Chico uses metaphors in an excruciatingly subtle way. Sharp-eyed spectators should be able to spot the humanistic properties Chico’s sister displays. Just when you think all of the questions raised will be answered, the film comes to a halt, leaving you, the viewer, left to ponder the hidden questions scholars have kept to themselves up to their untimely deaths.

I don’t think this film justifies an arbitrary rating of stars; it’s much better than that. It deserves a place among the highest modern philosophical works of our world. Nietzsche, thy name is Pico.
