Next two episodes. I have HOPES on them NOT fucking up the next ep, but the hour long one is where my hopes for salvation lie. |

| Rin is soooooooo cute.. oh my god what is she trying to seduce me ?? I find it so funny when Mr.Bastard was explaining the grail war stuff to Shirou. Illya WOOHHHHHH my favorite girl spotted !!!! |
| Does anyone know what happened with the pendant? I mean, in episode 0 it was shown that Archer retrieved it and gave it back to Rin, but in episode 1 Shirou picked it up. And then he put it in a drawer in episode 2. Does this hold any meaning that will be explained later or was it a minor mistake? |

Man i'm so glad someone actually noticed it lol, I'm surprised so many people miss this. Keep it in mind, it's pretty important. |

I'm amazed you picked it up, just remember where the pendant is for later because most people have forgotten about it post Ep2. considering it is shown a lot in the ending also... i don't even understand why so few people did not mention it ... so people do forget the previous episodes right ? |

I think it has something to do with the weekly showings. It was much easier for my friend to remember the pendant when he watched the first two episodes consecutively. |
| As SwordHand said, I remembered it because i watched them the same day( I was actually waiting for the whole season to finish in order to watch it in a few days). Thanks a lot for all your answers, I will bear it in mind. |
| I didn't see anyone mention it on reddit either in the discussion thread for ep 12 |

nocorras said: I didn't see anyone mention it on reddit either in the discussion thread for ep 12 Clearly they forgot all about what happened in previous episodes. And another result is bitching that Shirou is useless. |
| Yay for the incredible slow pacing.......... seriously though it was an okay episode. |

RafaelDeJongh said: Yay for the incredible slow pacing.......... seriously though it was an okay episode. Let's make it clear. FSN is NOT an action show. So don't expect battle in every episode. If you come here to watch an action-oriented show, you are in the wrong place. |
| Slow pacing doesn't mean he expects action, as evident by his comment on episode 3. A heavy action show can still be slow paced, the two words are not mutually exclusive. |
 |
| DBZ is the perfect case in point. |

Mickdrew said: DBZ is the perfect case in point. 15 min. flashbacks from last episode. 5 min. powering up. 1:30 min. Fighting 30 sec. To be continued... Yup, perfect. |
| Pacing also is matter of perception and what the viewer expects to be the main "point" of the show. Because everything but that would be interpreted as "slow pacing". Action in itself can have different "pacing perception" depending on onto what the action itself is focusing on. In EP3 case it was on character reactions to what is going on, so for those who think characters are not the focus of the show, it would look slow paced. Getting the focus of the show correctly is VERY important in comprehending "pacing". |

| Well, I could see that ep3 was slow, not because of the character interactions, but because the action itself was excessive without progression, as in they just clash into each other over and over for a while, before a development or a revelation happened. Character interactions in ep3 was few and far between compared to the action. |

Character interactions in ep3 was few and far between compared to the action. I thought this too until I rewatched it, and it's actually not the case. The development and progression is just more subdued compared to other shows.

Without DBZ, I would've never gotten into anime. |

And i will never forgive Naruto for turning shitty after the Time-skip DC's filler is actually mildly entertaining, which is more than i can say about the others. Are you implying that Naruto wasn't always shitty? It had it's moments, but that's all they were. Moments. |

And i will never forgive Naruto for turning shitty after the Time-skip For starters, I never really saw ninjas in Naruto. Well, they dress with the most bizarre uniforms possible for the "profession" (red, blue, gaudy ORANGE) and invoked giant animals (as a manga / anime can be bad, if you have a Giant Toad?). |

It had it's moments, but that's all they were. Moments. It was entertaining, but it got boring after 800+ chapters where only 5% of the Chapters are Black Org.-Realted. I liked Naruto before the Timeskip tbh, but after that, it got gradually worse... tsudecimo said: You people sure know how to quickly get off topic.. Oh you. |
| This episode was a nice refresher on the rules for me as I haven't watched a Fate series in a while. Rin is reaffirming my love for tsunderes haha. And I love the OST when Berserker came in. Can't wait for that epic ufotable animation<3 |
| Got around to watch this. Great episode. I like it when exposition and infodumps aret handled in a way that can generate interest. This also helped me, as it refreshed some concepts which I had forgotten of. |

For more info of character or story, recommend the VN. |

| I find it a bit funny how Saber seems to be finally content with being assigned a Master who's a simpleton in terms of honesty, just like her. Rin and Archer bad-assing around. Kotomine Kirei finally grew his head to a state where he can be physically qualified as the bastard he is. Wonder where the golden bitch is hiding. Wow. That Ilya girl is a real monster, isn't she? And that Berserker... X_X |

You can summon heroic spirits from the past, but you totally cannot have your wish granted. Shirou is so smart to be able to figure it out. |

HungryPriest said: kokusho36 said: ...or you can or countless other examples Grail can't do that. My point was: is it so unreasonable for Shirou (or any other magus, or the viewer) to believe that the grail is an omnipotent wish-granting device? Especially when, in the same universe, people try to reach the Origin, or do what I put in my previous spoiler tag? |
