SirJayce said: why does this have to focus on the two most boring characters (rin and shirou) and their awkward love story instead of keeping the actual story interesting? this does have potential and a few good characters but it keeps getting ruined by unnecessary scenes. thats's like watching fate/zero solely from waver's perspective. Lmao |
damastah said: riku_93 said: Because the story is more about Shirou's growth and not the the war. And boring is subjective. THIS. Shirou is "MC" after all. Given Ufo should have done better job at making people like him tho instead of taking that away. |

OneTrueEmiya said: Why are there so many Shirou-Avatar people trying to copy the One True Emiya? Because who can resist the sexist ginger emiya kun? |
| Damn, both the ending and the Opening were godlike. The budget for this adaptation is truly out of control. Not that I'm complaining, since the 2nd part of UBW is the pinnacle of F/SN. |
| Finally a monologue, I hope there will be more in the following episodes. Kind of disappointed by the OP and ED, neither good nor bad, maybe I was expecting too much. Nice to hear Sorrow, but no Ever-present Feeling. Also I wonder why they were not in the graveyard. The rest is good. |
| Boring episode. Less talk, more action. 4/5 |

| I finally had time to watch this episode. I heard that it was a bit rushed, but this is pretty terrible and is reminiscent of DEEN's atrocious pacing. The Saber dress scene took up much more time than necessary. It's one thing to show its eroge roots, but the way they did it pretty much "confirms" secondary bias that F/SN is just a porn game. Miura's waifu pandering is becoming rather intolerable... Archer was portrayed to be the character to sympathize with rather than hate. It looked like by attacking her in order to give her distance from Kuzuki's punches that he was actually saving her from death instead of betraying her and acting like a gloating asshole, and that's another adaptation fail. Also, Rin actually looked like she was actually going to win against Caster herself. As for Shirou, I can't believe I'm saying this but it looked as bad as people feared. There was absolutely no reason for him to trip like that during such an important moment. It doesn't matter how high he jumped from, just seeing him stumble like that only serves to make him look more like a clumsy idiot and already ruined any possibility of him looking good in his rescue attempt. NO EVER-PRESENT FEELING. Its exclusion removed nearly all of the scene's emotional impact. Rating: 1/5 |

ZeroDragon said: NO EVER-PRESENT FEELING. Its exclusion removed nearly all of the scene's emotional impact. I suppose we can agree on this one thing, King of Heroes. Lack of EPF was the most disappointing element in this episode. Why did we get a Sorrow remix and not an EPF remix? :< |

| Anyway I've now seen / read a lot of discussion along the lines of "Rin should have used her final command seal to get Archer to not join Caster", but what would that have accomplished? First of all, the masters want to always keep at least one command seal as insurance, because after it's gone Archer could just, say, kill Rin if he wanted to. Also, what's the point of having a servant who isn't willingly serving you anyway? So yeah I feel like these people haven't thought this through. |

| Ok episode. Had to skip the last minutes cause it was so dull.

Yea it would be her last command but Caster is the strongest master/servant right now so Archer would probably stay with Rin with the support of Shirou and Saber after Caster is gone. I dont know. I guess he could still betray her and join another master. |

Not saying that Archer wouldn't have been able to(doubt it very much though), but after that Archer could have killed both Rin and Shirou, right?Ok episode.

You do realize that Archer went to the temple without Rin's approval in ep 7.And when he is hell bent on joining her,a single command seal is not going to stop him.Also,Archer's independent action is quite high |

I guess he could still betray her and join another master. It probably wouldn't have worked out. If a Servant resists (and has high enough Magic Resistance), they can hold off a Command Seal for a while. Archer's is Rank D or something like that, so there should be enough time for Caster to stab him regardless of the CS. He also has the Independent Action skill, which gives him more liberties than a Servant usually would. Besides, Rin was frozen in shock anyway. |

I don't agree with this, as a stand-alone the track is very good. I've had people who never have read the VN love the track. For me, it wouldn't even need to be that specific track as long as it was as good. It was nowhere near. |
