11 Episodes in and yet to be impressed.


This mongrel most likely finds true yuetsu not in the suffering of others, but in the suffering of his own self. To trudge through 11 episodes of something that one bestows a rating of 5/10 onto, one must certainly derive pleasure from such a thing.

looooooool couldn't have put it any better

3/5 Pretty average (and not to mention boring) episode imo. It's good to see Shirou and Rin developing their feelings for each other and whatnot. Archer vs Shirou ideal clash was a bit underwhelming compared to the VN, especially Shirou's reaction at the end. Rest is meh.

he's almost always has gotten flustered with Rin the problem that a couple of priests have been complaining aobut is that this anime hasnt been portraying it well for shit. most of it is suppose to come from inner monologues. Several times now Shirou in the source material ahs considered Rin "the perfect girl" but this anime has been shaving a number of things in regards to shirou's character.

I don't understand why some people just want action every episode. What is part of being a good story is the build up and character development. I thought this episode was great and made good progress (although some explanations were kept short for Anime purposes).

It's true that action in this Anime is awesome but if you only want action you might as well just watch Micheal Bay movies.

They don't. They just don't find anything exceptional about these episodes.

Looking it at the VN's perspective, not much really happened in this episode either. But I've already to come enjoying the interactions with Rin and Shirou no matter how minor they are, so I've already fallen to fanboyism.

If you're talking about action junkies in general, you're just going to have to tolerate their existence in general because they're not going anywhere.

Personally I liked 2 scenes out of this episode more that 80% to date. Very Important to me!

UBW TV is the Micheal Bay version of the VN. Grisaia/10 adaptation so far.

I can understand some of his criticisms, but most of his review falls under "Fate/Zero 2" syndrome and complete ignorance of what Fate/Stay Night and particularly Unlimited Blade Works is and what it tries to do.

Very nice, but I was kind of hoping for a fight scene based on what the preview implied last episode. Ah well..A really fun episode though and like the change of the music.

I LOL so hard at this part! XD Rin has the best expressions! And Shirou blushed so hard in this episode too! So kawaii
via Imgflip GIF Maker
Yess! Rin's wearing her old outfit again!

It was so adorable.....and then there was that courtyard seen. And I'm taking Rin's side. Shirou basically told her," Protecting others makes makes me happy, but I don't think I deserve any happiness for myself."
And what Rin was saying might make her seem selfish, but if you re-watch that scene a couple of times, she's trying to explain to Shirou that helping others is fine, but forcing yourself to live up to what everyone wants you to do and never doing what you want to do isn't happiness.
And nice job having Archer make Shirou question his own ideals. My body is so ready next episode!

(Forgive me for being a newb. I've been watching this series since the day it premiered and my friends keep telling me that I should've watched Fate/Zero first to get into the series, but I really wanna finish this show first)

You're doing it right. Fate/Zero is a prequel written with the intention that knowledge from F/SN is already known, though it manages to make itself feel standalone just well enough that people new to the series don't feel like they missed anything although many things go over their head. F/SN UBW doesn't assume knowledge of F/Z.

Fate/stay night's meant to be watched first. The reason is because Fate/Zero spoils most of the plot twists of Heaven's Feel, the 3rd route.

Recommended order is:
Anime-only: UBW anime -> HF movies -> Fate/Zero.
Intended: Fate route of the VN -> UBW anime -> HF movies -> Fate/Zero.
Brave: Entire F/SN visual novel -> Fate/Zero -> UBW anime -> HF movies

I enjoyed this episode, particularly the conversations between Shirou and Rin and Shirou and Archer. The former's most interesting point was about the nature of the houses; Rin's and Shirou's both match their personalities. Shirou lives in a place with a warm, open, and welcoming atmosphere, just like he himself is. Rin, like her home, pushes people away from here, keeps them out. Once those people have broken through that barrier though (i.e. Shirou) she doesn't let them go. Very nice.

With all that said, my only complaint at this point is Saber. She's one of my favorite characters in the Fate universe and was so intriguing in F/Z. Here she's been more or less reduced to a fighter with vaguely noble virtues and a pleasant personality, and pretty much nothing more. I understand that this isn't Saber's story, so I don't expect her to have a major focus, but a bit more of personality and active behavior from her would be appreciated. Her reaction to Shirou and Archer's conversation (nothing, basically) was particularly jarring, because it centered on ideas and beliefs that are very much tied to Saber. Her lack of reaction comes across as very odd and was a blemish on an otherwise excellent scene.

She did react, but only in the VN, sadly. Here, we only see Shirou reacting. Quite subtly, at that. Also, she's supposed to be a side character in this route.

Wonder if they'll add it in the Blu-ray. Wasn't it also like this in Episode 11 of Fate/Zero, where the King's Banquet pretty much became just Saber and Rider dialogue and they cut out most of Archer''s input?

If you want to see Saber and all of the other characters get more development along with fully fleshed out characterization and world building, you should read the visual novel. The F/SN VN = book + character art + background art + music + voice acting + dynamic screen effects.

Less than half the length too. I guess with lower framerate and cutting out Rin opening the door might work..
