Last time on this podcast, we were kinda going easy on Shirou. Not so any longer. On this episode, we start getting to the section of the game where Shirou says some really whack shit about women, and he just doesn’t stop being bad.

Our feelings on this visual novel are about to get a whole lot more complex.

Fate/Stay Night Part 1: Prologue + Days 1-3
It begins! Welcome to the first episode of “I Got Sucked Off [By Historic King Arthur]”, an actually-pretty-sincere critical analysis of the works of Kinoko Nasu, cofounder of Type-Moon. Although Tsukihime and its sequel were technically Nasu’s first works, we’ll be starting with his seminal (and most popular) creation: Fate/Stay Night.
