The date was kinda boring... Nothing much happened except Shiro botching it. Shiro would have gotten better results if he had just confessed straight on.

Looks like that archer guy appeared again... I would love it if he can just stop calling Saber his property.

Shirou is not that cool of a character. He did absolutely mess it up too, him being the king of naivety, yet he was all over Saber when she was being her naive self. I have to say though that this is the first time where I have liked what Shioru has said, he is finally kinda growing up.

OH. MY. GOD. HE REALIZED HIS FEELINGS FOR SABER AND WENT ON A DATE WITH HER which was a pretty awful date if you ask me BUT THEN HE TOTALLY SCREWED IT UP WITH HIS STUBBORN MAN OPINION IS THIS THE ENDING OF THE CONTINUATION OF THE BEGINNING OF LOVE THAT WAS HAPPENING ONLY SEVERAL EPISODES AGO???!!?

The problem I have with the romance portion of the series is that there isn't any chemistry between Saber and Shirou at all.

Tohsaka's laughter basically have made the episode worth while for me ^_^. I just can't stop smiling when she's laughing at Shiroe, her actions and gestures makes her look really cute ^_^. Funny thing is, as soon as she stopped laughing, my expression changes from smiling to "WTF is this crap?" look.

Shirou and Saber's date is really... like what insan3 said. They didn't produce anything too entertaining to watch.

A simple stump(Saber) and a passionate idiot(Shirou)... I can't picture them being together long term at all...

What the fruck was this huh? I never expected this... Lame episode.... I was expecting action but not this kind of things.... Well at least the ending of the episode, the preview and the conversation that Saber and Shiro had since the plushie store wasn't useless... They were completely meaningful... and important IMO... Especially that one on the bridge.... Quite interesting

So then the first half was irregular... started from where we left last epi.... but immediately got spoiled.... with Shirou's idea... and Saber actually taking it serious... What's the point of going out in such situation? I mean.... They're not in a good position to date... first of all she's not human... she was... but is not anymore... what's the point of having a date with a Heroic Soul... in my POV they're not fit for a couple... if only Saber revives as a human then they may be able to be a couple... but since they're not in that case.... they should not do that stuff...

So then we had this talk full of truths.... unspoken truths that hurts the couple... but in the end everything went into some kind of... battle preparation...? I dunno... the point is that they will finally fight Girugamesh alias Archer the Second... How will they defeat him? He's quite powerful... and is unscratchable... Will Saber win again? Will they be able to grant their wish.... Finally?

Boring. But I have to say I'd have been taken aback if a girl would ask me the motive behind my asking her out on a date!

girl: "what is ur in interior motives for asking me out"
boy:"shit! How did u find out I was thinking about it?"

The scene where they had an argument, was beautifull, but was ruined by the fact that he left running. He should have left slowly, maybe even sheding a tear or two.

Rin's reaction to Shirou saying he wanted to take Saber on a date was just priceless. Mine was more like "wait, what?"

I can't say I disagree with Saber's rant. Shirou's the exact same way.

I loved this episode. Which is wired since I'm usually more fond of action.

But this one was great. Really, I loved Rin's laugh and seeing Saber's reaction at the most normal things on the date.

Their argument in the end was actually interesting and I think Shirou is somewhat right because no king would ever be able to please everyone with his choices. Therefore, there is no way to know if whatever king is elected in Saber's place will do better. However, I don't think Saber should stay. She just doesn't belong there. And besides that, Shirou has that stupid ideal and still can't seem to respect Saber's decision.

The preview was... oh... Well, I'm just gonna watch it now.

My reaction to Shirou asking Saber out was pretty much identical to Rin's. The date itself was fairly entertaining with Saber's hilarious actions and reactions to sometimes the most mundane things. It's a shame Shirou botched it. One problem though, as others have already mentioned, is that there is barely any chemistry between the two.

The second half was alright. It's nice Shirou found Saber again. I do hope that Saber stays in the end. Shirou's definitely right with regards to how she should live in the present and change her person to indirectly correct her past.

Hopefully, the golden prick gets his ass handed to him soon. He's pissing me off more and more with every appearance.

What little there is to like about Shirou disappeared without a trace after this episode. Honestly, I'm sick and tired of his ever conceited tirades towards Saber. What responsibilities had this kid had in his life that would justify his calling other people naive? Saber, while still a bland character like most of the cast that's not named Tousaka, deserves better than to be paired with this travesty of a human character.

I think I've said this several times but Fate route is the Romance portion of Fate/Stay night. Nothing you can do about that. UBW is the more pure-action part of the story.

The episode was pretty lame... And Shirou is really pissing me off. I really hope that Saber doesn't "fall in love" in him too in the end. Because that would be soooo wrong. Saber is a mature and full-grown woman with at least some intellect and who also was a king, while Shirou is a whiny, immature and stupid dork who always must have it his way.
However, if Saber left him it wouldn't be that big of a loss for him anyways, since he already have enough girls under his roof to become a pimp and open a pornclub. And Sakura already has a gimp suit from the last episode, how convenient...

And, Fate/stay continues to not transfer well over to the TV screen. All sense of chemistry, which is certainly there in the VN, is completely gone in this anime adaptation. For about the millionth time since re-watching this series I'm going to curse Deen.

Oh, and despite what Leon-Gun says there IS romance in the UBW route it just isn't quite as pronounced.

Why the hell would Saber now die when she obtains the Holy Grail, the reasoning is sometimes plain stupid.
Why is she often blushing with Shirou around, she suddenly started doing that?

That was a horrible episode.
Shirou is so annoying. It pisses me off how selfish his character is.
Everything must happen how he wants it to be and he's willing to completely ignore people's decisions and even make plans on how to betray them behind their back while being so self-righteous that he doesn't even see the flaw in his doing but thinks he is doing great things and is being generous.
Saber is getting more plain every episode...

The only reason that I'm still watching this are some side characters.
I also hate how this turned out to be some harem/dating anime disguised as action. I wish someone would've told me beforehand. But now that I'm this far I will just see through this till the end.

The best part in this whole episode is when Shiro tells Rin he wants to go on a date with Saber and she busts up laughing. It was hilarious. That made this whole episode worthwhile for me.
The date was boring except for when Saber tore the shirt and when she got involved in the movie. Shiro was a real ass hat. You dont patronize someone on your first date.
As someone said above they really dont have any chemistry. Rin is way better for Shiro, shes HUMAN for one.
I cant really take Gilgamesh seriously at all. He just... i dont know but i cant take him seriously.
All in all, boring episode saved once again by Rin Tohsaka :)

Lol thats exactly how I feel it just seemed stupid and Saber changed so much its like forced romance they could have left it out. Hey at least Gilgamesh showed up to the party

I just want to move on to fate/zero

Also I bet Shirou dad was much more serious about the holy grail war not asking for a date.

Second this. And ofc Gilgamesh too!

WTF is with this stupid plot?! I thought I'm watching the Holy Grail War, but what I get? A lame romance and a servant turning red whenever she hears sth from a boy and couldn't defeat anyone without his help. Oh, and in addition a date in the middle of a war XD Just great, that was exactly sth I was looking for... _^_ Rin's reaction tells everything <3 Too bad she has to like them..
