I agree with you about Fate/Zero, quite good (I’ve watched all but the last episode, saving it for a rainy day), but there is something I just have to say. The Fate/Stay Night ANIME is a horrendous piece of steaming dung, but the Visual Novel is a masterpiece. The anime is one of the worst adaptions that has ever been done, it takes a wonderfully written and executed story and ruins it. If you like the Fate series at all, read the VN.
(I don’t think that Rider is gay. I think that you could interpret it that way, but the entire relationship dynamic with Waver seems more like manly platonic camaraderie.

Complete agreement; the decision to combine different paths of the VN was awful.

This is Alexander the Great we’re talking about; history is unclear about his sexuality. But even if Rider and Waver have a platonic relationship (and I agree that they do), there’s no question that the writers are drawing tropes from bara) in his character design.
I watched the Stay Night anime and although it got bad at the end, on the whole I was happy to have watched it. I was puzzled that it was so highly recommended, but it was still among the better anime I’ve watched. I will check out the comic now, if I can find it.
