Then add the girls from FHA too....... Shirou looked at two girls w while walking down the hallway with RIn this episode. OMG TOTALLY A HAREM. |

ZeroDragon said: r3birth said: ´ Dumb choices - So many from the beginning of the show, like Shirou trying to fight a Servant alone, or going about is life as if his life is not in danger, putting himself in harm's way instead of being calculating, etc. Fanservice - Notice I've written "a bit of fan-service", not flat-out fan-service. This englobes the gratuitous ass-shots of both Rider and Rin. Harem undertones - the teacher, sakura, rin and saber, all hanging around him. So cringy, sakura always doing the senpai thing, rin always doing the tsundere thing, even saber acted tsundere this episode. Agreed as well. Shirou was an idiot thinking he could take on a servant alone. It wasn't like that servant would have continued nearly killing other people without someone to intervene in any way they could. You're right that keeps going about his life as if there was no danger. F/Z spoiler Fundamentally insane is what Shirou is. |

Yeah, just leave that girl to die. Or turn their back on a servant and get killed instantly. Writing isn't Stay Night's forte? Pls. Shirou vs Lancer? No, really, you expect him to beat Lancer? And he did more than run around; he deflected two of Lancers attacks and blocked his third with an improvised shield. Shirou Vs Rider: Only option. Can't turn his back, and standing there would allow her to snipe them from afar, which is even worse. And trying to use his command spell would have gotten him killed, as I said before. I didn't expect him to beat Lancer, of course not that's ridiculous, but that one fight he would eventually die had Saber not appeared. Why would using a command seal have gotten him killed? |

| The monologues is one thing about Shiro that annoyed me the most (mostly in the Fate route, but anyway) it's starting to bother me how much they're cutting out. While in animated format it's much easier to understand what a character is thinking from their expressions and tone, not hearing any inner thoughts is....so empty. The scene where Rin wait waiting in the hallway though, I remember reading that in the VN like it was yesterday :3 antonn said: Ah it's always so fun to watch him squirm~Shitji/5  |

Ass shots....Yeah I fap to those all day.....dude seriously? Harem:try harder.If you dont know what harem means then dont use the word.

But then again the writing isn't Stay Night forte. Shirou vs Lancer - he was just running around... Shirou vs Rider - charging forward alone against an unknown enemy. It LOOKED like that, but really, he was thinking. Hence why most of the VN readers are complaining for the lack of monologues. In the VN, we know what's happening, and that he's calculating what he does. ------r3birth (somehow i screwed the format) It looked like he was just running around and got lucky, I mean, he had no idea that Saber was going to appear. In the VN he's thinking during his fight against Lancer? Inner monologues sure would make this way better then. I haven't read any VNs |

r3birth said: You posted about 3 girls and if you had any sense of the characters you would know Saber isn't a part of his 'harem' in this route Ketuekigami said: He already was in calling the anime a harem, when there are basically only 2 girls that like him. And one of them doesn't get screen time this route. Harem undertones == harem. Thanks for sensationalizing in a clickbaiting fashion . And Sakura is the way she is but she is not even a romantic interest in this route, that makes 1 girl. Or are you gonna say that if 2 or more girls like the MC it has harem undertones? Though seeing as to what you changed your signature to your either trolling or a kid who cant take any criticism and immediately blames the fans. So you wont change your mind no matter what. |

| Of course he was quick-thinking in his fight against Lancer. He blocked a few strikes and the paper shield was a clever idea. You don't need inner monologues to see that Shirou is competent in fights, otherwise you are just blind and ignorant. And this I hate dumb/angsty young characters, cuteness, moe, lolis, romance, romantic comedies, slice of life, ecchi, harem, waifus and fan-service. Fate/Zero >>> Fate/Stay Night UBW (too overhype, horrible characters (rin and shirou)) applies to FZ as well, so stop being an ignorant hypocrite. |

| Rin is starting to get really annoying with that tsundere act of hers. And I thought she is the best girl... Also not liking the fact that there are 4 masters in the same school, I mean what a coincidence! I thought this Holy Grail War was supposed to be more vast and the masters could be from all around the world ( at least from whole Japan ). This series' cast needs some adults right away, though it is probably just me, since I liked F/Z a lot because of mainly adult cast and this... is really not it. Kinda starting to get disappointed by it. Still good tho. But I was expecting something else. |
 |
| Rider is not that weak... It's just that Shinji is a useless piece of shit when it comes to being a master. Anyway, good episode, although I felt like the art was a little weird here and there. Otherwise, this is where the plot starts to thicken! |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
r3birth said: Plot Armor 101. Why test your enemy when you could plainly kill him? Is Rider that weak? Do you want the entire thing spoiled for you? Because we are 1/3 into this anime with another piece of supplemental material to come later but you want everything to be transparent. We can all 100% explain why Rider didn't kill him and we have done that in another forum. |

r3birth said: Plot Armor 101. Why test your enemy when you could plainly kill him? Is Rider that weak? Well, as long as you're not implying F/Z doesn't have any plot armor... |
| Regarding Rider, she not only has a terrible Master, but as pointed out earlier she responded to Shirou and talked to him (and called her master a coward), but in this episode, she didn't seem like she gives a shit about Shinji. (Basically she gave enough shits about an enemy Master to respond to him, but she doesn't give her own Master that much attention). It's possible that she wasn't even trying her best, because she doesn't care about her shit Master. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

I know that there is explanation to every single possible thing in Fate franchise, but I just don't like this particular thing. This episode Rin annoyed me the most. |
|
| Another excellent episode, this season has several great anime, but Fate is above average in this season Great battles and a good mystery presented, a great action of Rin and Shirou in this episode too, Saber jealous of Shirou use the Archer techniques, well this is how things should be I'm excited with each episode of this anime .. |

He wasn't lucky. Read between the lines. If you've watched/read Zero, you would know why that magic circle was there, and why Saber didn't need a summoning chant. The only instance he was 'lucky' was being the only one to be saved in the fire =3 |
The sun is a deadly laser |
| Wow this episode was pretty dumb. First of all, no magical bullet shooter... Okay. But then, no both-speaking-over-eachother scene on the rooftop. Really lacked impact! Then, no Rin ":O" scene after Shirou saves him from attacking golems - Actually that part was totally botched AND Shirou was using a broom instead of dual wielding desk legs??? Sakura randomly?! WTF So bad. |
