Shirou/Saber nuff said

Junichi Suwabe... his cynical laughter in UBW had a serious impact for me... It felt like as if he was laughing at me and criticised my life as well...
24. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Emiya Vs King of Heroes... At that time, Shirou matured to be a MAN. He managed to beat the King of Heroes even though he needed CIS and PIS...
25. Most tragic death.
HF Normal End, Shirou's Death after he used his last projection to destroy the grail...
26. Most disturbing scene.
Shinji tried to rape Sakura... fuq u shinji
27. Unpopular opinion.
Hmm... Shirou is not a dumbarse and he's not a sucker even in fate route... He only did what he believed was right. That was simply it. He was not GAR in the beginning but he had proven himself to be worthy... Fate Route is not as bad as it seems... It's not really the weakest route in FSN either... It just suffers to be the first route in the VN so it needs to do several boring introduction and background story... that's all
28. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? How?
None, I like the way FSN it is...
29. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Emiya Shirou definitely... I want to know the burden of a body made out of swords for real... That's going to satisfy me.
30. Unforgettable scene or moment.
Every single scene in FSN is unot unforgettable... however, I believe Archer vs Shirou scene is my most unforgettable scene.
1. Your favourite character and why.
Ryougi Shiki. Her personalities are just really refreshing. Never seen a character like that, plus she is a badass.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
This is a tough one, but probably Zouken, because he is a major asshole. At least you can feel bad for Kotomine, and at least Gilgamesh is cool.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
Azaka: Punchi~
Shirou: Trace On
Archer: UBW chant
Kotomine: Engurish prayer at the end of Fate Zero
Ryougi Shiki: As long as it is alive, I can even kill God.
Araya and Touko's final dialogue.
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
The 8th OVA dialogue of Kara no Kyoukai. It was pretty deep...
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
The scene in Carnival Phantasm when Sasaki appeared in the Fuyuki Grand Prix and kept calling the Ryuudou Temple his bro.
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
Honestly, the last episode of Kara no Kyoukai almost made me tear up, because I didn't really want to finish the whole series up. Thankfully another OVA is coming up.
7. Your favourite pairing(s).
Rider X Sakura
Ryougi X Tomoe
Ryougi X Azaka
8. Your least favourite pairing(s).
Zouken X Tonami
9. A character you can relate to the most.
Enjou Tomoe, mostly because he seems to be the character people can usually relate to.
10. Favourite Command Symbol’s design.
Bazett's Symbol
11. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
It varies, but most probably Kerry. I didn't think I was going to like him much, but season 2 sure changed that around.
12. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
Technically, Archer at a certain point in ubw. (When he captures Rin) But when he comes back and saves Shirou, he redeems himself in my eyes.
13. Favourite Master.
Emiya Shirou
14. Favourite Servant.
This one is a bit tough. A tie between Archer, Sasaki, and Rider.
15. Favourite team.
Enjou Tomoe and Ryougi Shiki
16. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
When Enjou Tomoe died. The Heaven's Feel normal end.
17. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
The final scene in 7th Kara no Kyoukai OVA when Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Mikiya walk away together.
18. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
Pretty much the final scenes of every type-moon story, since I did not want them to end.
19. If you were chosen as a Master, what Class would you like as a Servant and what Heroic Spirit would you like to see to appear.
I would probably want an Archer class servant. Most of them appear pretty OP, plus that far sight. As for heroic spirit, probably Ryougi for the lulz.
20. Favourite Noble Phantasm.
Technically UBW, since it might count as one. Literally, Kanshou & Bakuya
21. A character you would shag.
Ciel/Rider
22. A character you would hug.
Ryougi Shiki
23. A voice actor/actress that made an impression on you. In which scene?
Sakamoto Maaya. The way she changes her voice with each diff Ryougi personality was pretty good.
24. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Various. All of Ryougi Shiki's fights, Emiya Shirou's fights, and Tohno Shiki's fights are all my favorite, usually because they beat pretty difficult odds.
25. Most tragic death.
Definitely Enjou Tomoe for me.
26. Most disturbing scene.
When Diarmuid ends up dying through stabbing himself. I felt pretty bad that he blamed Saber for that.
27. Unpopular opinion.
Archer (EMIYA) could beat Gilgamesh in a straight up fight
28. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? How?
I would probably change the fate of Diarmuid since I honestly feel bad for him having an aweful death. If I had to make it fair, I'll give him a more Cuul (pun intended) death and have him at least go down injuring
someone/respecting Saber again.
29. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Tohno Shiki when he is living his calm, peaceful moments in life with everyone he loves/cares about.
30. Unforgettable scene or moment.
The fight between Ryougi Shiki and Araya Souren. I was just so hyped when the final battle came.

Whoops, sorry about that. I saw quite a few of them on the thread, so I didn't think about it.
-Yet those gems will never roll anything-
1. Your favourite character and why.
Kohaku. Her personality struck every chord in me.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
Hm. Zouken’s an asshole. My least favourite heroine is probably Rin, because I can’t relate to her at all.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
"Yes. I liked this Kohaku the best, too."
Shiki’s speech to Roa in Arcueid’s path.
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
Heaven’s Feel, overall, did this to me. The idea of a selfless hero for everyone, or a selfish hero for one.
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
The time when Akihiko asked Shiki for a sausage roll.
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
Kohaku’s ending tear’d me up. I’m a sucker for broken birds like her and Sakura.
7. Your favourite pairing(s).
Shiki (Tsuki) x Kohaku
Akihiko x Nanako (no known lemons exist!)
Sasaki x Yukika
Kariya x Sakura
8. Your least favourite pairing(s).
Shirou x Rin
9. A character you can relate to the most.
Difficult. Shiki Tohno, probably, because I’m lazy like him and enjoy sleeping in.And I’m a total chick magnet. Actually, how did he get that 8-pack without his anemia kicking in every two seconds.
10. Favourite Command Symbol’s design.
Kariya’s.
11. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Sakura. Till, you know, Heaven’s Feel.
12. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
Rin. Just cause… I dunno, I didn’t find her personality appealing.
13. Favourite Master.
Kariya.
14. Favourite Servant.
Zero Berserker/Avenger, tie.
15. Favourite team.
Kouichiro and Caster.
16. Scene or moment that broke your heart.
Heaven’s Feel Normal End. FML
17. Scene or moment that made you feel happy.
Tsukihime Bad End #39,The secret good end. I mean, uh…
Kohaku’s End.
18. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
Nearly all the Tsukihime normal ends (harem ending excluded). Heaven’s Feel just kept going.
19. If you were chosen as a Master, what Class would you like as a Servant and what Heroic Spirit would you like to see to appear.
I’d like Jeanne D’Arc to appear as Ruler or w/e. Childhood historical crush ftw. Bazett would be proud.
20. Favourite Noble Phantasm.
Berserker’s NP-transformer.
21. A character you would shag.
Uh. Well. The list. Arcueid, Akiha, Hisui, Kohaku,Hisui&Kohaku,Ren, wait, no stop looking at me like that. I won’t mention Miyako either.Riesbyfe, Sakura, Bazett, Yukika, Makidera, Otoko.
22. A character you would hug.
Kohaku, for a long time. ;_;
23. A voice actor/actress that made an impression on you. In which scene?
Just… Tomokazu Seki. 雑種!
24. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Nine Lives Blade Works, “Come on, let’s kill each other!”, This-Is-What-It-Means-To-Kill-Things Time, Tsukihime Bad End #39.
25. Most tragic death.
With Hisui’s normal ending; Akiha’s death.
26. Most disturbing scene.
KIRITSUGU YOU FUCKING BASTARD KILLED THE OLD MAN AND HIS POOR GIRL
27. Unpopular opinion.
Sakura is the best FSN heroine. Shiki is as fast as some Servants(?) but that’s just Nasu trolling me with his Nrvnqsr fight.
28. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? How?
MAKE HEAVEN’S FEEL HAPPIER aka let’s not kill off Saber and other characters, but that would ruin its effect.
29. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Tough. I’d go and hang out with Akihiko as Shiki. That’d be ballsing.
30. Unforgettable scene or moment.
THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO KILL THINGS,BITCH!
1. Your favourite character and why.
Tough choice, since I like a lot of characters, but I'll go with Shirou. He's a refreshing change from the typical bland and uninteresting main character and I find his personality really interesting.
2. Your least favourite character and why.
Kuzuki. Not because I hate him or anything, but because he is the only characer who effectively bored me nearly every time he was on-screen.
3. Favourite quote or line(s).
Shirou: "—I won't lose to you. I don't mind losing to somebody else. But I can't lose against myself!"
4. Scene or moment that made you think.
Kotomine's backstory. About morality, evil and blablabla.
5. Scene or moment that made you laugh.
Rin to Caster: "I thought about it thoroughly, but I've decided to have you eliminated. You're an eyesore, you get in my way, you annoy me, and I hate the way you look. You're like some backwoods hag with that purple robe of yours."
6. Scene or moment that made you cry.
The ending of the Fate route, Archer's backstory and his death in UBW (the latter less out of sadness and more because I found the whole scene touching) and Shirou killing Saber in Heaven's Feel, as well as pretty much everything (Shirou sacrificing himself and "It's spring again.") about the Normal End. Although Ilya's sacrifice in HF's True End was pretty sad too.
... Okay, that wasn't only one moment, but I can't choose! xD
7. Your favourite pairing(s).
Saber x Shirou (canon pairings only, because I'd take all day long to list all of my favourites)
8. Your least favourite pairing(s).
Sakura x Shirou (canon pairings only, because I'd take all day long to list all of the ones I dislike a lot)
9. A character you can relate to the most.
Shirou.
10. Favourite Command Symbol’s design.
Shirou's.
11. A character you disliked at first but grew to like later.
Sakura. Boring in Fate and UBW, one of my favourite characters in Heaven's Feel.
12. A character you liked at first but grew to dislike later.
Rin. Pretty much the opposite of Sakura. One of my favourite characters in Fate and UBW, one of my least favourite characters in Heaven's Feel.
13. Favourite Master.
Shirou
14. Favourite Servant.
Archer
15. Favourite team.
Shirou/Saber
16. Scene or moment that broke your heart.

Both UBW's Good End and HF's True End.
18. Scene or moment that made you feel sad.
The flashback to Shirou's and Kiritsugu's last conversation.
19. If you were chosen as a Master, what Class would you like as a Servant and what Heroic Spirit would you like to see to appear.
Arturia as a Saber-class Servant.
20. Favourite Noble Phantasm.
Ea
21. A character you would shag.
Ayako
22. A character you would hug.
Sakura
23. A voice actor/actress that made an impression on you. In which scene?
Joji Nakata was amazing as Kotomine (and as pretty much everyone else he ever voiced). The Mapo Tofu scene was hilarious.
24. Your favourite scene or moment and why.
Shirou's fight with Archer near the end of UBW. It was exciting, I admired Shirou's resolve and felt bad for both characters. Amazing moment, really.
25. Most tragic death.
Shirou's death in HF's Normal End. It's grating to see how he sacrifices himself, but thinks to himself that he really doesn't want to die and keep his promise.
26. Most disturbing scene.
Zouken devouring that one woman with his worms in HF.
27. Unpopular opinion.
Uh... I don't really know. I like pretty much everyone? xD
28. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? How?
Sakura's backstory, because it's a very horrible one. Not sure how, but I'd say... blowing the Matou mansion up? XD
29. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Kotomine, because I'd make him act like a cheerful Genki Guy for a day. Mostly because I'd find it hilarious.
30. Unforgettable scene or moment.
Shirou using UBW against Gil.

Shinji is the best character, Rin doesn't make a good narrator, female Saber > male Saber, probably more that I'm forgetting
28. If you could change the fate of any character, would you? How?
SEE QUESTION 6 AGAIN
29. If you could change a place with any character for a day, who would it be and why (and what would you do).
Tie Sakura up and stuff her in a closet somewhere, go to Shirou's house and eat her portion of the food. It is a cunning plan that cannot fail.
30. Unforgettable scene or moment.
I forgot. Alternate answer see question 6 again.

"WHY COULDN'T SABER HAVE BEEN A MANLY MAN / KAWAII BISHIE INSTEAD OF A WOMAN" seems to be a common opinion for some bizarre reason.
I don't think that's a popular opinion considering Saberfans are the majority in the fanbase. By a huge margin.
[04:55] Lianru: i3uster is actuallly quite cute
