| Rin's reaction to Shirou saying he wanted to take Saber on a date was just priceless. Mine was more like "wait, what?" I can't say I disagree with Saber's rant. Shirou's the exact same way. |
| That was a pretty funny episode...though I found Rin's hysterical laugh quite grating. Best part: Rin TAKING OUT Ilya. Its about time somebody hit her. |
| My reaction to Shirou asking Saber out was pretty much identical to Rin's. The date itself was fairly entertaining with Saber's hilarious actions and reactions to sometimes the most mundane things. It's a shame Shirou botched it. One problem though, as others have already mentioned, is that there is barely any chemistry between the two. The second half was alright. It's nice Shirou found Saber again. I do hope that Saber stays in the end. Shirou's definitely right with regards to how she should live in the present and change her person to indirectly correct her past. Hopefully, the golden prick gets his ass handed to him soon. He's pissing me off more and more with every appearance. |

| boooooring!!! |
| lol @saber in the movie theater |
 |
| What little there is to like about Shirou disappeared without a trace after this episode. Honestly, I'm sick and tired of his ever conceited tirades towards Saber. What responsibilities had this kid had in his life that would justify his calling other people naive? Saber, while still a bland character like most of the cast that's not named Tousaka, deserves better than to be paired with this travesty of a human character. |
AirStyles said: Tohsaka's laughter basically have made the episode worth while for me ^_^. I just can't stop smiling when she's laughing at Shiroe, her actions and gestures makes her look really cute ^_^. qft. rin ftw! also, loved the whole movie theater scene. |
 |
| Toshaka FTW for hitting Illya unconcious! Date was pretty hilarious. :D |
| And the action anime turns into a romance... |
CanAPanda said: I think I've said this several times but Fate route is the Romance portion of Fate/Stay night. Nothing you can do about that. UBW is the more pure-action part of the story.And the action anime turns into a romance... |
 |
| And, Fate/stay continues to not transfer well over to the TV screen. All sense of chemistry, which is certainly there in the VN, is completely gone in this anime adaptation. For about the millionth time since re-watching this series I'm going to curse Deen. Oh, and despite what Leon-Gun says there IS romance in the UBW route it just isn't quite as pronounced. |

| It was really boring. And even some funny moments can`t help it... I`m expecting more drama in the next episodes... |
| Why the hell would Saber now die when she obtains the Holy Grail, the reasoning is sometimes plain stupid. Why is she often blushing with Shirou around, she suddenly started doing that? |
| That was a horrible episode. Shirou is so annoying. It pisses me off how selfish his character is. Everything must happen how he wants it to be and he's willing to completely ignore people's decisions and even make plans on how to betray them behind their back while being so self-righteous that he doesn't even see the flaw in his doing but thinks he is doing great things and is being generous. Saber is getting more plain every episode... The only reason that I'm still watching this are some side characters. I also hate how this turned out to be some harem/dating anime disguised as action. I wish someone would've told me beforehand. But now that I'm this far I will just see through this till the end. |
 |
| The best part in this whole episode is when Shiro tells Rin he wants to go on a date with Saber and she busts up laughing. It was hilarious. That made this whole episode worthwhile for me. The date was boring except for when Saber tore the shirt and when she got involved in the movie. Shiro was a real ass hat. You dont patronize someone on your first date. As someone said above they really dont have any chemistry. Rin is way better for Shiro, shes HUMAN for one. I cant really take Gilgamesh seriously at all. He just... i dont know but i cant take him seriously. All in all, boring episode saved once again by Rin Tohsaka :) |
| I feels like they keep changing the rules about how the Holy Grail works. I'm kind of confused lol. |

insan3soldiern said: The problem I have with the romance portion of the series is that there isn't any chemistry between Saber and Shirou at all. Lol thats exactly how I feel it just seemed stupid and Saber changed so much its like forced romance they could have left it out. Hey at least Gilgamesh showed up to the party Zhou said: Why the hell would Saber now die when she obtains the Holy Grail, the reasoning is sometimes plain stupid. Why is she often blushing with Shirou around, she suddenly started doing that? I just want to move on to fate/zero Also I bet Shirou dad was much more serious about the holy grail war not asking for a date. |

| Hmm okey going on a date with your servant... well not all to bad but rather pointless... the ending was rather interesting though! Lol @ dat sweater scene! |
 |
| HOLY SHIT, DEM PREVIEWS!!!!!! SABER NOOOO |
| A date huh? Well it kind of ended well, but now goldilocks has shown up again. |
 |
| I really expected more from that date. |
 |
| It feels like Shirou is duty bound to protect Saber, nothing really romantic about it. Where's the passion? |
 |
| I don't like Shirou! Saber belongs to Gil!!! |
| annddd finally he actually say it in the beginning of this episode "I'm falling in love with saber" chuu chuu~~ lol its kinda of funny when shirou talk with rin if he going to date with saber.. XD why rin is laughing that hard anyway.. XD dont make me laugh rin XDD btw the date just like I expected.. especially in the movie scene -_- damn I was so facepalming in that scene -_- btw in the end gilgamesh show up damn its gonna be more hot XD |
| That was a terrible date. |
 |
wailofthebanshee said: Honestly, I'm not watching this for the plot anymore and shirou and saber can just fuck off. I'm watching this for Rin. Second this. And ofc Gilgamesh too! WTF is with this stupid plot?! I thought I'm watching the Holy Grail War, but what I get? A lame romance and a servant turning red whenever she hears sth from a boy and couldn't defeat anyone without his help. Oh, and in addition a date in the middle of a war XD Just great, that was exactly sth I was looking for... _^_ Rin's reaction tells everything <3 Too bad she has to like them.. |
YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... |
| But Rin goes on a date too.... |
| The more I am watching this series the more I want to play Fate route again. Don't get me wrong first half of this series is pretty good up to episode 13 or so but after that it lacks emotions in the moments where there should be ones. This episode was somehow true to the game and I was glad they brought up some of Shirou's thougths again but in VN that bridge scene with Saber and Shirou had much bigger impact in terms of emotions. For some reason I didn't see any affection or love between those two in this anime. And this episode even failed to explain that reason why Shirou took Saber on this date in the first place - to show her she can live in this world, to let her know he cares for her, to have some fun at least, to recognize her as human being. It saddens me because in the game those characters had their very reason to act this way but sadly this reason is almost nonexistent here. ssjokg said: But Rin goes on a date too.... I still think that Rin's date during UBW is lot better because both of them goes with him. Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Rin's reaction mirrored my own, hahahahaha. Shirou's really selfish and naive, but he sucks at talk no jutsu so he really fails at the end of the day. He and Saber are a horrible match anyway, imo. I still can't perceive how he . StardustReverie said: This, lol.Honestly, I'm not watching this for the plot anymore and shirou and saber can just fuck off. I'm watching this for Rin. |

It's easier to understand in the VN why Shirou acts the way he does in Fate/the anime series, but even Nasu admitted he made a mistake with all the "but Saber is a girl" crap, since he feared people wouldn't believe that she really is. |

C-Core said: [spoiler]That isnt necessary since HS/CG exist out of time and space axis(or whatever, too lazy to look up the actual term).I cant imagine Rin NOT using the pendant to summon "the best Servant".Archer-origins route must be a Fate like route(maybe with a little bit HF in it).Archer knew about Saber's wish and had a certain attitude towards it and in Fate, the only thing that Shirou learned was how to trace and it was nowhere near UBW route level. The RM is what it takes years to learn. |

| [spoiler]I used to think that way when I learned his identity,before reading the VN, but after that I came to the conclusion that such a start isnt needed. Sure a timeline where Rin summons a different HS may be possible(by some kind of miracle(or curse) she didnt use the pendant) but it doesnt have to be EMIYA's origin. I mean, I find it very weird for Shirou to be saved by the pendant but then for that to result to nothing, because she somehow didnt use it for the summoning. |
| It looks like heavy stuff is going down in the next episode. hype |
 |
| If a woman is staring void on the top of a bridge for hours, no wonder, she is going to suicide! People must have reported this situation to police in real life. People must have... WHAT PEOPLE? WHY ISN'T THERE ANYONE AROUND? WHY IS THE CITY EMPTY ALL THE TIME?? |
| Thought this episode would be funnier than that, Shirou doesn't really know how to date huh? |
