| I thought the episode itself was handled very well in terms of pacing. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Well, it was kinda ok, at least they can do action when they are horrible with motivations. That is apart from Assassin who was made look to be defeated too easily. Effects and CG very pretty cool but it's obvious they are dragging the ending right now because they are almost out of content. UBW next time it seems. And the last ep will be probably aftermath mostly. Anyone knows if they are planning one-hour finale? |
| I think the episode was quite good, though I didn't quite catch on to how Saber won that fight, too bad Gilgamesh just went ahead and used EA without saying something epic like he did in F/Z. |

When they where holding their swords against each other, assassin's blade was notched/cracked. This made it so that there was a tiny gap in his Tsubame gaeshi that saber (being the badass she is) could exploit. |

| I won't even bother with the plot conveniences but this episode was plain bad. Not even the fights are exciting anymore. The power levels are so inconsistent. Suddenly shirou is able to copy all those noble phantasms of Gilgamesh? Also why is shinji still alive and what the fuck was that arm?

 All credit goes to Sacred. |

FireEmblemIke24 said: Lollo36 said: About as high as Miura when he was directing this that Kara no Kyoukai movie 6 was his doing, I've lost all faith since then Well he did fate/zero episode 15 and 19 (2 of the best imo). Also vita OPs which where amazing. Finally, he did episode 0 which was arguably the best episode of UBW. |

Z4k said: The power levels are so inconsistent. Suddenly shirou is able to copy all those noble phantasms of Gilgamesh? Why not? Archer already said he can copy every weapon he saw the original of right? Back when Shirou and Archer fought, Shirou was acquiring Archers skills every time their swords clashed, its only natural for Shirou to display some of Archers skills. He also has Rins mana to help him out. |

| I love how, at the start of the episode, Shirou says that NOW he can project 10-20 weapons, while he probably projected just as many times against Archer. Inb4 UBW explaination from VN. |

K&B are C-rank noble phantasms I'm pretty sure. |

Z4k said: Is there even any limit? Aslong as he has mana. Which he is getting from Rin btw. It doesn't explain how he could copy gilgamesh's weapons all at once. He can't copy EA. He can pretty much copy any Sword, even NPs. EA and the like he can't copy. |
| lol that's really mean, I can't believe they remade history turning Sasaki Kojirou into just a fictional character. He actually existed in real life and died in his duel with Miyamoto Musashi. |

But he used them one by one in his hand this time and this was before he gained more archer's memories and before Rin's mana. |

The idea in fate is that the person who was named Sasaki Koijirou and the guy who used the Nodachi (I forget the name) where different. If the sword the real Koijirou used had no renowned, then the heroic spirit couldn't exist either as there would be nothing extraordinary about his existence. |

pkKodama said: Actually, it is precisely because of history that they went with this route, as is is still uncertain if Sasaki Kojirou is real, or if his final duel with Musashi is real or if it really happened the way it supposedly did (with the boat oar and all). There is a lot of conflicting documents on him, but one of the most important elements is the lack of documentation, namely by Musashi himself. The man wrote about much of his life, yet he never mentioned Kojirou at all. lol that's really mean, I can't believe they remade history turning Sasaki Kojirou into just a fictional character. He actually existed in real life and died in his duel with Miyamoto Musashi. The interpretation in FSN is that this Sasaki Kojirou is a composite of several figures, some guy named Kojirou Sasaki, someone who weilded his famous longsword Monohoshizao, and a nameless swordsman with the legendary skill Tsubame Gaeshi associated with the character of Kojirou, the last of which is Fake Assassin's true self. I guess it was probably meant to resonate with Archer also being fameless despite his accomplishments, though they didn't do anything with it in the end. |

I'm guessing that part is far more obvious in the VN than in the anime? |

| That was a massive arm! |

| Less talking, more fighting would benefit this show greatly. Or at least if you're going to have long conversations, do it over a cup of tea and biscuits, and not in the middle of combat. |

FanEu said: black1blade said: That's exactly what some people say about fate. The people who say this is shit because it is different from zero are wrong. Stay night was never meant to be like zero. Yeah but its just very underwhelming if you watch it after F/Z because secondaryfags thinks fate franchise is about the battles and deathgame and that was never the mainpoint of the franchise its about the characters and ideals |

If the sword the real Koijirou used had no renowned, then the heroic spirit couldn't exist either as there would be nothing extraordinary about his existence. Well, if the existence of a man who died in 1612 is so doubtful, I fail to see what makes Gilgamesh and even Hercules(seriously?) genuine. I know this is just a fictional work but still, they could have had more criativity if they wanted to give his character more depth while still being coherent... |

GradationAir said: FanEu said: Well the anime adaption was pretty bad but the manga is great lolno Toyko Ghouls anime is bad simply because the source material is bad. I see. Then the reason F/SN anime is trash simply because the source material is bad. Damn that explains everything. |
