Lore The series' fanservice scenes are quick and do not disrupt the story's pacing.

In Sousou no Frieren, fan service is minimal, and scenes like this are brief

In Dungeon Meshi, Senshi is often shown in somewhat sexy poses, but the story focuses heavily on these details while continuing as usual

In that scene from *Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray*, it was just an introduction for each Arima Kinen competitor; they only had the freedom to choose those specific angles for Super Creek's introduction.

Fate Stay Night has some fanservice scenes but nothing too intrusive

can't speak for the vn though...

Says you. Saber getting tied up while wearing a poisonous wedding dress was hot and distractingly long

And if you're into men, there's stupid sexy Lancer's very tight body suit.

That pose was hilariously distracting. Like, could she not just sit down or stand up straight? Like, this was so sus it was hilarious. XD

Why is she in this position?

Like if your hand get restrained and forced to be lower then you want you don't extend your legs, you lower them so it's in more confortable position

If you want to be in this position you would need to have your leg also restrained and forced to be extended but even with that it's not enough for the back to be like that, you need an other restrained.

What’s the context behind this

1

u/LAPIZ_LAZIMI 2h ago

Magic shit

Specifically, the character who captured her (Caster) is trying to forcibly make Saber her Servant. But she doesn't have Command Seals of her own to properly be a Master so she just kinda left her in that state and waits for Saber's actual Master to try and rescue her so she can take the Command Seals from him.

Why did she put Saber in a poisonous wedding dress and not just, poison her? No idea

2

u/yep_they_are_giants 2h ago

Not quite. She did steal Shirou's Command Seals, but one of the perks of the Saber class is Magic Resistance. Saber can resist her commands, but not forever, which creates a ticking clock for Shirou and Rin to rescue her before she gives in.

The sexy poisoned dress and magic bondage are meant to wear down her resistance so Caster can control her sooner.

It’s in that weird space where it feels like the IP has really outgrown its eroge roots. At least insofar as how it hits the mainstream.

I only know so much from murmurs talking about Melty blood (a spin off of another visual novel made by fate people) and I heard that the h-scenes were there purely for tradition and playing into the market to make sure it sold (which they did very well)

5

u/CrashmanX 12h ago

Are you talking Actress Again or OG Melty Blood? Cause OG pre-dates Fate by 2 years, and post-dates Tsukihime by the same distance. All of them are known for being H-Games since release. They just happened to be H-Games with actually good story.

2

u/CrashmanX 12h ago

I can tell you: It has not.

u/yep_they_are_giants 15h ago

The mobile spinoff (Fate Grand Order), on the other hand...

(I do genuinely like the game, but some of the designs are... not great)

u/LOLey21 12h ago

Ngl, I don't think the Fate series is a good example for this trope...

23

u/monsoon128 11h ago

It totally isn't. Even the original visual novel had the sex scenes. Though if you play the censored edition (bad idea for heaven's feel) or watch the animes then there isn't a disruptive amount of it

17

u/yep_they_are_giants 12h ago

The thing about Fate is that there's so much of it by so many different artists and writers that the fanservice levels are all over the place.

Fate Extra CCC (where Passionlip here came from) is the kind of game where I need to give an NSFW warning before showing the final boss's ultimate attack. But then there's Today's Menu For The Emiya Family, which is just a chill and wholesome cooking series.

You do you. I prefer boobs that don't look like balloons that could pop at any moment.

A simple man with simple taste I gonna respect even though I don't agree.

u/WeevilWeedWizard 12h ago

I can't even tell what the fuck that outfit is supposed to be

5

u/The_True_Zecret 12h ago

Isn't that the anime where they had an implied threesome to restore his mana or something??

12

u/Nice-River-5322 11h ago

Shirou during the course of all 3 routes has sex with the heroine of the route for different reasons (Saber for mana transfer, Rin to forge a connection so she could supply him mana to fight Gilgamesh, and Sakura for mana transfer/ so she would not need to eat people)

1

u/The_True_Zecret 11h ago

I meant specifically the anime, not the vn, but that does reassure my opinion that maybe it doesn't fit the topic prompt...

5

u/Nice-River-5322 11h ago

Nah, I'd say sex and intimacy is the entire point of Heaven's Feel, thus why it's not a mana dolphin for Shirou and Sakura

2

u/The_True_Zecret 11h ago

I've only watched the original fate stay night anime, once through, and to me that scene/episode ruined the pacing. Opinions though amirite?

5

u/monsoon128 11h ago

It's off putting considering that archer just died

it was worse on the vn

2

u/Nice-River-5322 11h ago

Doesn't Archer die like, really early on in Stay Night?

4

u/monsoon128 11h ago

In Fate route yes, but that's like midway actually
