| That godlike fluid animation made me weep with joy. |

| Yess the episode I was waiting for. Great ep. The handle the fights well and I got the line from Archer I was waiting for and that close up of when he delivered it. They really handling this well all my worries are finally gone now. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Archer pretty much confirmed as best character... the rest was disappointing. |
| Archer is doing the right thing tho. Isn't this what the Holy Grail war is about? |
| Oh god who are you people? |

| Wow, I didn't even realized it was 30 minutes. I remembered there was a lot of talking in the Archer vs Caster fight, so it's good that it didn't bore me. Really liking where this is going. I can't wait for more Archer and Shirou dialogue; they were the best thing about UBW. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This anime would be better with more Caster |
 |
 BELIEVE THE HYPE |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
Praland said: This anime would be better with more unmasked Caster |
| Damn, I miss Kiritsugu already. Shirou is too nice sometime. Typical epic builder. In reality Archer would just kill Shirou but let Shirou crawl his way to Saber and Assassin. |
| Dat animation. Dat OST. Dat missed opportunities for "Drown in your ideals and die". The bone of my sword can't be more erect. 5/5 |
| Pretty good episode. Not as good as the one vs Berserker, but still great action-filled ep. And Saber is still best girl it seems... |
| Amazing episode! Maybe the best episode so far. Seeing Archer's dark ideals in contrast with Shirou's was great. The way Archer breaks Caster's force field and how he follows it up with Caladbold were moments of outstanding quality. Rin's dream with all the blades was also excellent. And thumbs up for all the glorious gore. I can't quite recall what happens next in the story. Time to go back to the visual novel and see what's to come. |

While I agree with most of what you said, Rider from Fate Zero is superior to all the current servants right now. At least in my view. |

Totally Agree, is the only one from zero that is, at least, equal to the ones in FSN (mayber berseker too) Meh. While I agree with most of what you said, Rider from Fate Zero is superior to all the current servants right now. At least in my view. I dont know, I loved Iskander, but FSN Lancer, Rider, GARCHER and Assassin are awesome as well |

| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Freakin amazing again. Caster and Assassin came across perfectly, and couldn't have had their scenes animated with more (deserved) respect and attention. The clash of ideals was handled brilliantly, I especially loved the emphasis on the allusion to Kerry for what it does to build Shirou's development. Only problem was not with the show but Aniplex taking liberties and changing "Drown in your ideals and die". Also felt like they went out of their way to use the same wording of certain things as FZ which was unnecessary. |

| This episode of F/sN took it to a whole new level of amazingness. |

| It was an ok episode since nothing interesting happened to be honest. Fight was cool but that's all there was. 3/5 |

I know you're not having fun but can you stop ruining other peoples? Shirou's dumb ass ideals will be lamp-shaded in due time, just give it a rest. |

| I watched F/Z first and not the original F/SN and to be honest, I think it's better, or at least for me because I can actually follow what's going on lol |
| not sure if bait or actually srs.... |

If Ufo wants, they could make a gore-fest out of it. Of course that was gory lol. They don't absolutely have to show as much blood as they did, although I do think this is how F/SN should be animated because it's a dark story. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind when I take a look at what happens next since I can't recall it. But even if it can be gory, I don't think it would be gorier - and especially more disturbing - than a particular scene that will take place in the second cour. But we're starting to go off on a tangent, so I'll leave it at that. |

Anyway, really amazing episode. That animation, holy fucking shit. In fact, everything about it was awesome. I wasn't expecting too much of assassin btw, but he's a very nice character. The only thing I hate about this is Shirou, at least until now. I hope some nice development for him, extremely bland and annoying brat so far. Guys, what is "it" here? FZ or FSN? XD |
Kolnikov said: I just said I think it was better to watch F/Z first, I'm appreciating the story now a lot more. And my comment is about the episode 7 of FSN. It's not very evident in UBW, but once the Heaven's Feel movies are released, you will probably understand what the Priests are talking about. And I say that as someone who watched F/Z before reading the F/sn VN. |

| Best episode yet! All of the fights were excellently executed and all of the servant personalities were portrayed accurately. The slow motion dodge and subsequent Caladbolg attack just made me ecstatic. The ambiguous and mysterious nature of Archer's actions and motives are now made apparent with his sparing of Caster and attack against Shirou (they bring up questions as to what he is really after if not looking out for the best interest of his master), and Archer and Shirou's ideals are now starting to be brought up. Though, the line "Drown in your ideals and die" really should have be used instead of the translation they did. Hopefully anime-only viewers will now realize that Shirou's hero complex and naivety are actually intentional plot elements and not unintended results of bad writing. Also, once again some strong foreshadowing appears. The themes of the story are starting to enter and the Holy Grail War is starting to pick up.The introductory phase is now complete.  Also this scene:  Made this come to mind (spoilers regarding Caster's identity and master) |

Kolnikov said: I just said I think it was better to watch F/Z first, I'm appreciating the story now a lot more. That's actually interesting, considering Type-Moon fans like myself would say it's far easier to appreciate Fate/Zero after reading Fate/stay night. I've always been a little resistant to the idea of watching F/Z first, because I imagine it gives you a different idea of Fate from what the original story intended, and that would set up disappointment when F/SN came though, like the complaints of the "high school setting" and Shirou being supposedly generic. I'd like to ask, in your opinion, how does watching F/Z enhance the F/SN experience for you? |
