| Can someone tell me exactly what was so wrong about this episode where some people are disappointed? I have also read the V/N and I thought that this episode was fairly accurate. Someone asked if there was a magic skirmish in the V/N: The answer is Yes, the V/N had a magic battle where Caster was deflecting everything Tohsaka threw at her just like in the Anime. Lancer vs Archer battle was pretty much the same in the V/N. The only part which was lacking (which is kind of unreasonable to add into the Anime anyway) is the monologue of the characters where they show what the characters are thinking during a battle. This of course is an advantage that the V/N has over the Anime and a part of the V/N I enjoyed very much. But on the other hand, you have to realize that adding the monologue to the Anime would be although not impossible, be kind of unreasonable. Other than the monologues and narratives, I don't really see much of a difference in this episode at least when you compare it to the V/N. Some scenes feel a lot shorter when compared the the V/N but that is because there is a lot of monologue in the V/N which they did not include in the Anime. |

If I remember correctly, didn't rin use the 10 gems she had been storing mana in for 10 years to actually do jack shit? Everything in the church was just MEH. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

| Nice,this episode was good. |
DarkShards said: Someone asked if there was a magic skirmish in the V/N: The answer is Yes, the V/N had a magic battle where Caster was deflecting everything Tohsaka threw at her just like in the Anime. Not to make a comparison, but All Rin could do was offset Caster's attacks. And we did not have the previous anime original fight where rin was owning caster with gandrs. Basically a LOT of episode had to do with problems with previous episodes and with what was in the church. Lancer confro was decent even if it missed the point. Lancer vs Archer battle was pretty much the same in the V/N. "Archer barely defending his life" =/= "Archer calmly mocking lancer" Some people now even assume archer was "holding back" lol The only part which was lacking (which is kind of unreasonable to add into the Anime anyway) is the monologue of the characters where they show what the characters are thinking during a battle. This of course is an advantage that the V/N has over the Anime and a part of the V/N I enjoyed very much. But on the other hand, you have to realize that adding the monologue to the Anime would be although not impossible, be kind of unreasonable. Endless monologues are not needed to characterize characters or portray what they are thinking. |

| 1 of the gems but she had 10. Those gems she used against berserker in fate to destroy his arm remember. |
Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
fst said: I thought the gem she stored 10 years of semen mana in was the one she used to save Shirou's ass in episode 0/1? That's the necklace from her father, IIRC there was more than her own mana there. Though I'm not sure on this point. But she has a few other gems of some number I can't recall right now that she saved up for years. In Fate she uses most of them to . |
black1blade said: 1 of the gems but she had 10. Those gems she SPOILAH. Two different gems. The one she save 10yrs worth of prana in is the one Tokiomi gave her The ones she used in Fate and against Caster, are different. |

| The first fight was awesome. The animation and the pace are still impressive. And we finally learn that Archer is Shiro (I suspected it for a while) , very good episode. Rin made a beautiful fight too. I wonder what will happen if Archer kills Shiro. |
| Lancer vs Archer was amazing Shirou was so weak this episode but I know he will get stronger Saber is back <3 Caster was so cute in her final moments which is funny because I hated her before Rin was amazing she is so strong even Caster was no match for her I like Archer a whole lot but it would seem he needs a whole lot of sense beaten into him |

fst said: Rin's pendant that Tokiomi left to her was a century old heirloom that possessed mana equivalent of Rin generating mana for the next ten years.I thought the gem she stored 10 years of semen mana in was the one she used to save Shirou's ass in episode 0/1? In addition to that, Rin possessed 20 A-Rank level jewels before the Grail War started, which she stored for the last ten years. She used ten to summon Archer, used one against Berserker and another in the school, when Rider activated the Bloodfort. The other remaining eight were mostly used in this fight. That's why she started with "Acht!", acht being the German word for eight. |

| 10/10 for ufotable animation. They can turn any average show into an above average anime with their mad skills. Honestly, take away the pretty art and action fights and this show is as mediocre as it gets. Wish the studio would go animate a more worthy series. |
| question from anime only viewer regarding archer's identity- i probably won't get an answer to this that won't be a huge spoiler |

On the contrary some would say that Fate/Stay Night is too good for UFOtable!.... But not me. Fate series is amazing, UFOtable are doing this anime great, and anyone who can still say that this is a mediocre shounen anime hasn't actually been watching. |

| I think I'm going to stop even bothering to look at these episode discussion threads Seriously the shit some people complain at is just laughably pathetic. Stop trying to make the VN seem like the second coming of Jesus in comparison; the difference really isn't that big... >__> This is a great adaptation and it has been from the start. Is it perfect? No, of course not, but dammit it's close enough. Stop acting like spoiled children 24/7 |

You know, the one that doesnt have "This thread is only about this episode / this anime. If you want to discuss (future) events in the VN or Fate/Zero, compare the anime with the VN or Fate/Zero etc. please use separate threads." as the first post. That way they can spray their salt all over the place and leave us alone. |

| So Archer's Noble Phantasm was a layer of shields? 4.5/5 |

heliodor said: Rin calling Caster thrid rate and talking about how she was gonna beat her was really annoying. How about you just go ahead and do it instead of talking. Wasn't it an attempt to rile her up and get her unbalanced? CloudStrifeFFVII said: So Archer's Noble Phantasm was a layer of shields? 4.5/5 Recall ep 7 |

| Rewatching Lancer vs. Archer, can I just say, My greatest disappointment with this series is that all the best fights are too short and all the relatively less good fights are the only ones that last more than 30 seconds. |
| It's because they can't afford to have the really well animated fights to carry on too long. Maybe it's time so that means the HF movies will have awesome fight scenes. |

| Archer, still never fails to surprise. Shirou's skills still suck ass. |
~my list
| Ass shot at the beginning was unnecessary and did they really have to show the kuzuki's flashback now? Its like Akame ga kill again when they show a character's flashback everytime before they kill them off. Lol the fight between archer and lancer was hyped so much yet it lasted only for 4-5 minute and was completely unsatisfying. Regarding caster and his master, I never cared for the both of them since the first cour so the rest of the episode was pretty much a waste of time. |
black1blade said: It's because they can't afford to have the really well animated fights to carry on too long. Maybe it's time so that means the HF movies will have awesome fight scenes. It's not even that. Gay Bulge vs. Raw Ass was way longer than the actual Lancer vs. Archer fight despite being no less budget intensive. The biggest disappointment is actually how short Saber vs Assassin was compared to Archer vs. Caster in the same episode. I mean I suppose there was more exposition to put into that battle and it should be longer but the actual time Saber and Assassin were actually clashing blades was almost ludicrously short by comparison. And it's not like they're saving money animating Caladbolg instead. |
