They weren't what they are now, sure, but it doesn't strike me so unbelievably that if Kiritsugu had a nice laptop in 1995, that 2004-2005 people with riches like that to blow couldn't have off-market nice stuff.

    She still did terrible things after the brainwashing weared off.

    I thought it was less "she was brainwashed" and more "the victims were kinda dicks".

    Aphrodite was a bitch in Nasuverse, yes (iirc).

    Also I have to comment on how much better Ilya, Rin and Sakura sound in this anime compared to Realta Nua. It's wonderful what having actually good voice acting direction can do.

    Yeah, that's true. I think it was the overall slick modern look of the whole facility and magi being OK with it that bothered me, but if you have money and no silly reservations you can be on the cutting edge.

    I believe the VN says the Olympians scrambled her brain to make her love Jason and do all of those shifty things to help him win the Fleece, but everything that came afterward was 100% Medea. (Take with salt; haven't read it in a while)

    I take it all as a sign that she doesn't want to be the Witch of Betrayal anymore, but she was backed into a corner and reverted to her horribly vindictive ways.

    Although a lot of the beef with her Master was about how inefficient his methods were and not purely a matter of trying to save the poor little orphans.

    Well, there's also the distinction to be made between having a specific murder done to someone because you hate them specifically and being so morally blinded that you don't even see anything wrong with using children as resources anymore.

    Like even if you did the former, it would be possible to think that murder is wrong and what you did is wrong, just that you hit your breaking point. The latter would be more of a Relius Clover type who just looks at people like objects.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    Not sure what you mean? I mean that Ishtar and Aphrodite set a precedent of Nasuverse love/lust goddesses being bitches.

    Aphrodite brainwashed her into loving Jason without her ever knowing who he was. She only went against Jason when he was going to marry another woman.

    I really want the Blu-rays now. I can't justify spending that kind of money though, stupid Japanese otaku market prices.

    It's Fate. That's enough justification.

    …There is no memory after that.
    After everything was over, the girl, who was a princess, was in an unfamiliar country.
    A girl that betrayed her father, the king, for a man.
    A witch that cut apart her own brother and threw the pieces into the sea to escape her native country.
    And the man who wanted it done cast her aside in order to become king, saying he could not marry a witch.

    @ Bridget: Well, fuck me running. This is at least the third time I've put my foot in my mouth over something HA explained. I need to get off my butt and get on that.

    @ You: Yeah, that's what I was talking about. She fell for Jason, betrayed her father and killed her brother under Olympian control. The way the passage is phrased made me think she came out of the god-funk just in time to get ditched by Jason, at which point all of her evildoings were her own.

    But I was wrong.

    I'd imagine that if Medea got Shirou as a master, they might actually get along until she started mana draining people.

    So what horrible things did Medea do out of her own completely free will? Kill Jason's kids right?

    No, she stole lavish candies from rich children.
