Not sure if this thread is considered vn spoiler territory so I'll use it anyway It felt random and out of character for Rin. I guess the point was that she wanted to help the two novices do what had to be done. But joining in is a bit over the top - that was supposed to be her first foray into sex as well? Would have made more sense if it were Sakura lol |

As awful as the writing was inscenes,those two scenes (RIN-Fate and Rin-UBW) felt the most "in-character forme, mainly becuase of the Rin as character herself. Shirou is literally a huge weak point for her, sex or not. So it would make sense that her behavior is entirely different from when with Saber. |

I suppose that's true. I'll try to look at that scene differently when I get to it in UBW. |

Does she want Shirou to see her as some sort of a slut in heat? The contrast is too huge and one of the reasons why I think that those must have been written by random unrelated people or something. Considering context that is the worst sex scene I've ever seen(Standalone it can be pretty hot, sure) |

You could argue it's precisely because he's the first to see her as a woman in a very long time. A fact which he often and loudly proclaims the Fate route lol.

There's no "empathic/emotional" connection. In second case its especially because its Shirou, all of her confidence vanishes. Because he is someone in front of whom she feels naked, both psychologically and literally. [/spoiler] |

Not everything in the VN was literary masterpiece-level. I think I buy what you said regarding the second scene, the "nakedness' theme goes well with her insisting on keeping her stockings on but I still think the first was one of the low points. |

The sex scenes in Fate and UBW were mostly just plot devices while in HF they were a natural part of the story. The scenes being plot devices don't really bother me though because I felt they doubled as consensual sex between lovers as opposed to sex simply out of lust (like in your typical trashy VN). The sex scenes did add to the character's respective relationships aswell which I think is important to note. I think Nasu himself has admitted that he doesn't like writing H-scenes so I am sure he felt obligated to put them in simply because it was an eroge. In that respect I give him a pass for his awkwardly written H-scenes. They served their purpose and at least he tried. Thankfully he seems to be giving up on that sort of thing with Mahoyo not having any romance at all, lets hope he just sticks to what he's good at. As for the new series, it should be handled like the sex scene in the Berserk anime (and I don't mean during the eclipse). In other words, just show that they're having sex without going into any actual detail, that should be perfectly acceptable. |

It doesn't necessarily have to be 'sex' but in that case it was her best way to show Shirou her love :3 Hence why she treated him to some eyecandy in Fate. I'm actually preferring the dragon scene to the firs h-scene. Lol, this, or I'm getting 'plot device' definition wrong >.< |

The second sex scene in Fate was so that Saber could get some mana before the final battle. As for the ones in HF, I dunno if I would call them that because I don't feel they move forward or maintain the plot. I also want to clarify that just because something is a "plot device" it's not inherently a bad thing, it all comes down to how well it's used and how well it's integrated into the plot. Also, there was no orgy with the goat demon in the anime, I was referring moreso to the sex scene between: Spoiler for Berserk anime/ Manga during the Golden Age arc: Griffith and the princess after Guts defeats Griffith and leaves the band of the hawk. Griffith then tries to use sex with the princess to get over the trauma of losing Guts |

Energy Transfer via Sex is just about the cheapest excuse for sex scenes you could ever come up with. Saying that it moves the plot is ridiculous. Sex scenes in HF move the plot because the characters having sex means something.... How, you know, sex scenes are actually supposed to be. |

-_- You are actually arguing against that? I do think that it's ridiculous to have sex for reasons other than having sex, yes. That same thing could be accomplished with drinking blood or even with dolphins and dragons. It doesn't matter what it is. The sex scene itself has no relevance in it. I'm amazed that I actually encounter someone who doesn't think that's just an excuse to have sex scenes. |

Like if there was a sex scene during which they buy a house, it wouldn't be the sex scene moving the plot forward but the act of buying the house. I guess it happens during the sex scene, though. Well, let me change it from "the sex scene moving the story forward" to "the act of sex itself moving the story forward" |

The sex scenes did add to the character's respective relationships aswell which I think is important to note. I think Nasu himself has admitted that he doesn't like writing H-scenes so I am sure he felt obligated to put them in simply because it was an eroge. In that respect I give him a pass for his awkwardly written H-scenes. They served their purpose and at least he tried. Thankfully he seems to be giving up on that sort of thing with Mahoyo not having any romance at all, lets hope he just sticks to what he's good at. As for the new series, it should be handled like the sex scene in the Berserk anime (and I don't mean during the eclipse). In other words, just show that they're having sex without going into any actual detail, that should be perfectly acceptable. The HF scenes are 'plot devices' as well. They have to be added to prove Sakura's past as well as the lust she feels. The second Fate H-scene was a natural part of the story. It doesn't necessarily have to be 'sex' but in that case it was her best way to show Shirou her love :3 Hence why she treated him to some eyecandy in Fate. I'm actually preferring the dragon scene to the firs h-scene. Lol, this, or I'm getting 'plot device' definition wrong >.< A plot device is typically something that can exist to move the plot forward or maintain it. The second sex scene in Fate was so that Saber could get some mana before the final battle. As for the ones in HF, I dunno if I would call them that because I don't feel they move forward or maintain the plot. Oh, come on. Energy Transfer via Sex is just about the cheapest excuse for sex scenes you could ever come up with. Saying that it moves the plot is ridiculous. Sex scenes in HF move the plot because the characters having sex means something.... How, you know, sex scenes are actually supposed to be. The sex scenes in HF were to satisfy Sakura. They had nothing to do with love, just lust. Ofc toward the end, their meaning began to change. Lol, you believe Saber's lie? After the events of the H-scene, you think it was just a mana transfer? |

Shintai said: @mirakura I would agree that with the sex scenes in HF it wasn't about love, that comment was moreso directed at the other sex scenes. Also gimme a break, it's been like 4 years since I read the VN, I don't remember if it was was a lie or not. =/ XD Don't worry, friendly laughter. |

Quite frankly, I find it doubtful. I think they might be definitely going the RN way, what with them already showing us those fishes/dolphins/whale sperm/whathaveyou in the prologue. Plus, in the RN h-alt scene, during the transferring of the crest, Shirou sees some of Rin's memories, and there's this really important, foreshadowy one with Rin and Sakura's farewell before Sakura goes to the Matou house To be honest, I like neither the h-scene nor the alt scene for this route, so I think maybe a kiss followed by a fade to black would be ideal. Failing that, if they somehow managed to make the alt-scene show us that they're actually in love with each other and not let it completely devolve into feeling all business like, Rin having to sacrifice part of her Magic Crest |
UBW is basically a route about three tsunderes constantly bashing their heads against one another. |

I hope not. From what I remember Shirou's...not the gentlest of lovers, to put it mildly. Yeah, I know Rin said to go in before she was wet, but you'd think after the fifth cry of "It hurts," Shirou's response would be to pull out and give the foreplay another shot, not ram it in at mach speed. Also "I cover her mouth. I don't want to hear her complain." The scariest part to me is that Shiki is apparently worse. |

God dammit, I forgot that line. I don't like being in Shirou's head sometimes. And then he commits the sin of complaining that Rin kept her stockings on. |

And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible. |
