Oh Gawd, that was some nice anime.
Really, more anime series should stick to their plot like Fate / Stay Night. I mean, how often did I feel the urge to slam my head against the wall in frustration as some Deus Ex Machina hops across the screen and twists the events so that everyone "lives happily ever after".
It's not like I'm against happy endings, but far too often they're absolutely irrational and forced. You can't go all the way towards a sad ending and then lack the balls to take the goddamn final step, it's unsightly. If there's supposed to be an end the plot should lead up towards it, not away from it to make a U turn at the very last moment.
Though what really impressed me about the ending was that Shirou wasn't made into the fan-girl-magnet mental-brainwreck-emo-boy(*cough*Sasuke*cough*) after Saber's gone back to her time, but stays true to his ideals. It shows that Type moon doesn't discard Plot-Devices (In this case Shirou's idealism) convinently once they are not needed any longer, ...
'nuff ranting, time for a confession. I did cry a little in the end, ...
..., what's up with that satisfied smirk? *cracks his knuckles*

So true. Shirou is one of my favorite fictional characters - the final battle of the Fate route was perfect. It gave me the feeling of, "Well, they did what they had to do, knew what was coming, and accepted it" which I appreciated, especially since a lot of the story involved Shirou trying to fool himself into thinking that Saber should stay with him.
I didn't cry, though, probably for those reasons. Of course, Archer's storyline is a different story...
