The First Thing You'll Realise About Fate/stay Night Is That It's Kind Of Stupid. You Realise This When

the first thing you'll realise about Fate/stay night is that it's kind of stupid. you realise this when someone recommends it to you and explains the premise

what makes this realisation funny is that, after you've read it, you will forget this realisation entirely. you will begin to recommend it to a friend with all the sincerity someone deeply emotionally touched by a work can muster, at which point you'll realise how you sound

because at its core, Fate/stay night is one of the most sickeningly sincere manifestos about love and idealism ever written, but it's also a story about going on dates with genderbent king arthur and being the bone of your sword. you can't have one without the other
