----------------------------------------

Whoa quite an episode. Looks like Saber is introduced to Shirou's friends.

Rin tests her abilities a bit against some adversaries as well. Not bad. Still, with the strange events happening around town, there's always danger lurking like with Berserker.

Kuzuki's new VA is going to irk me forever.
Dem CG dinosaurs

Its good to see that they are adding int he things they did not adapt in the prologue into episodes(like Shirou's backstory).Means we are getting Rin's information in there too when it comes up again and they are simply removing stuff that gets repeated again.

Also yay for the actual psychologically-fit trigger scenes for his ptsd. SO far they are representing Shirou very well.

Ended at a bit earlier point than I expected, but the predictions for what will be adapted in next episode will mostly be the same as they stick to a sensible pacing.

Otherwise yet another pretty much 1 by 1 adaptation episode albeit with a bit of expansions there and there that explain some of character decisions.


5/5

It aired?I thought it needed another 20 mins.

Holy shit at the naked Illya.

Good to see that the aren't rushing stuff just to get to the action scenes. Pretty entertaining episode on the whole and Ayako scenes were the best.

This?

NSFW:

Perhaps they will add some Ayako scenes, I like her.

It finished seconds ago

It ends on

??How're you watching this? Still about 25 mins till it airs ?.?

It already finished airing in japan.

It airs half a hour latter on CR.

No I mean, isnt it 30 mins early for the TV broadcast??

wth quotes?

Daylight saving time is over, mira. It airs one hour earlier for you.

Btw, Ilya said that Berserker needs three days to recover one life.

Uguu, thought so. Completely forgot about that :3

Based nasu adding additional exposition into stuff.

So this officially

Finally can use that instead of trying to explain that a wound doesnt need DAYS to be healed.

We actually already knew Berserker can regenerate lives since 2004. It was again mentioned in CM 3 I think.

You forget

Fate/Kaleid sequel confirmed. :D

Not how fast.

THere were people claiming "whole holy grail war would not be enough"



Actually that has been already confirmed instantly after the last ep of 2wei. Second half of 2wei is airing in 2015

Six lives in three days is what we already knew (probably me just misinterpreting that sentence in the novel). Three days for one life now it is, officially and everyone who objects to this can keep quiet.

Bahsaka survives on 1 life, regenerates all of them, weapons used against him first time are useless now, repeat until he is immune to everything.

Yup, definitely most haxx so far.

It was a joke about the guys who said "Fate/Zero sequel confirmed" last episode.

You literally seek out the strongest servant in first day. Then hide for three days. GG you won.

Thanks god he is a Berserker and he can't control his ability

It's a shame that it failed

It would work completely .

I'd think that's what Illya was trying to do even, apart from greeting Tohsaka family and that boy.

If F/SN Berserker was summoned as an Archer then he would have just one shot every other Servant and ended the war on the first day.

Seeing her like this always makes me wish we got an Ayako route. She looks gorgeous in this episode.

Oh pls, we all know she has hots for Rin. Everyone has hots for rin

ONLY IF that involves changing protagonist to Issei.

HOLY SHIT.. I just saw the Teiba gifs on Avalon and dammit I'm missing so much nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Missing my unlimited moe works ;_;

+1...Her scenes were really nice this ep. Hope she gets more screen time. She's gorgeous indeed :3

Anyway, another great ep. Dat Jelly Sakura was fun to see XD Esp at the archery dojo staring at Saber like that lol

Cute Saber was adorable <3 Loved how she was looking at Shiro when Taiga and Sakura decided to stay :3

Loved her stare out with Kuzuki. Nice stuff there ^^

Bahsaka is really the most HAX creature in existence XD And Dat Illya *A*

Caster is almost here...but I can't wait for the fun Shiro will be having at school nxt ep first XD Should be fun seeing his first fight ^^

Rin being tsundere as usual at the end and start of the ep <3 XD Yep u'll definitely kill him :P

So did we get a glimpse of

Well not really.

She looks like Shiki so much. The star of this ep btw. :))

Aww, wasn't it supposed to be in this ep? oh well T.T

I thought so too ^^;

Well I'm not sure...we did see

Plot hole! Why is Shirou bandaged up!!!??? Lol, jks. Probs one of the extra scenes of Fate, that they originally planned to do :3

Looks like they failed or mixed the routes, in Fate Rin doesn't stay on his room

Again, adding a new layer of clothing changes a lot in appearance. Saber looks fantastic with that jacket. Too bad she's missing the scarf from the OP.

Basically a reset of Shirou's daily life after a rough night but with the addition of a freeloaderguest. Sakura and Taiga are not amused. Though it's just a temporary peace that he needs to savor.
I enjoy these kinds of moments in the VN but I guess people will complain about how boring it is. I can also see people complaining about how they already know those details about Servants but it's necessary for Shirou and not them. Plus if anyone began from here and not from F/Z you wouldn't know these things yet so it's necessary information. Ah well.

It's already that part next week huh. Should be starting to get rough for Shirou from here on.
And Ayako is seriously underrated. She looked pretty nice there when she was spinning the keys.

Cute Shirou is cute
Sexy Shirou is sexy


Saber, it's a feast! ENJOY!

instead of the good ol' cards, damnit ufo!

And new casual clothes for Seiba, intriguing

Well, looking forward to next week as usual :P

More badass than the cards

glorious Ayako is glorious
Surprised Sakura is hilarious.

Another interpretation of the final scene:

Archer: Rin, he is flirting with other girls, what will you do?

Rin: I will kill him.

Lol.

If the girl is Sakura then Rin can't say anything, she helped him for her(?)

Rin takes Shirou in UBW. So why should she care?

Doesn't change the initial reasons

I would say half of the reason is her own feeling for Shirou.

Half sounds too much, I don't think she would be using her trump card just for that
