THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WHAT AN INTENSE FIGHT. Go team~ Rin is funny to watch this episode though. So I guess Saber Alter survived the attack. Am I surprised? Nope. Is I see some wings on Illya, oh snap. OST is pretty decent this episode and I like her new battle outfit. Not bad. ![]() Seriously, what an intense episode. ![]() |
DAT EXCALIBUR(only fitting considering the location :P) DAT ANIMATION QUALITY DAT sword of promised victory-alter ost organ version. DAT FUCKING FORESHADOWING DAT EMIYA OST ILLYA REMIX DAT RHO AIAS EAT YOUR WORDS HATERRRRRRRRS. (although it is depressing that Prisma gets to do justice to EMIYA themesong and build-up first before we get a proper FSN version of it) I dare you to tell you this is not part of fate franchise. I double dare you. This is more in line with fate franchise than DEEN's fsn ever was. Overall this episode is nice taste of things to come in Zwei and Drei :P 9000/5 ![]() Modified by Ahenshihael, Aug 10, 2013 9:03 AM |
It was a bit dragged out in the first half but the second was godly. Emiya ~Install version~.ost confirmed Traced Excalibur with enough mana to overpower Saber Alter's Excliblast.Thats the power of the "Holy Grail" Some technicalFanboy observations: -While it was VERY awesome that they included Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge it would be even more awesome if they had included Archer's version of Crane Wing Three Realm. ![]() -AT 15:31-32 and 15:49(and maybe more) I am sure that it is an animation error since Ilya wasnt using Overedge at that time. -In the manga Ilya uses Hrunting instead of Caladbolg but I prefer it like this since Hrunting seemed pretty weak in the manga,barely scratching Saber and never coming back.Although the explosion from Caladbolg was VERY weak too. -Rho Aias needed to be traced with a deep voice even if it is Ilya.It would make it even better. -Good job at showing the Heroic Spirit's inner world.For a moment I thought they would fight inside Unlimited Blade Works. End Card ![]() You are OP as you are Ilya.You dont need Avalon. ![]() Modified by ssjokg, Aug 10, 2013 9:49 AM |
I will have a lot of work to do with gifs when the HD version comes out next week. I just noticed but in the end card Ilya is standing back to back with Archer.*fangasms* Next time:Ilya coming a bit closer to her FSN self.*wink* ![]() Modified by ssjokg, Aug 10, 2013 9:52 AM |

Dat Excaliblast Dat seal breaking Dat UBW inner world Dat Rho Aias Dat Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge Dat melee exchange Dat Caladbolg Dat double Excaliblast Dat EMIYA OST Dat everything Best episode ever or best episode ever? Shit, that was awesome. People are missing out on a lot here. Again, their loss and our win. And this was so much win. Time to rewatch it again. ![]() |
DAMN. I wasn't expecting that. At all. First I was a little surprised by how dark the battle with Caster was, and then Saber shows up and screws everyone up, making us believe that Rin and Luvia are dead after an Excaliblast, I'm staring in shock as Illya suffers a Madoka-esque breakdown, and then all of a sudden,she's revealed to be not so normal after all (perhaps she's a homunculus in this world as well) and we get to see a totally epic battle WORTHY of Fate/Zero, complete with more EKUSUU-KALIBAAAAAA?! Holy carp. Not only that, but we also got Excalibur and Emiya remixes. What could be more awesome than that?!? I must admit I had my doubts at first, but this episode has definitely changed my mind about that. This isn't just a Cardcaptor or Nanoha ripoff anymore. It's beginning to match the tone of the Fateverse, and from what I've heard about Zwei and Drei, the next two seasons are going to be even more awesome. After this episode, I can't imagine that there'll still be haters moaning about the same things they've been saying since Episode 1. ![]() |

After this episode, I can't imagine that there'll still be haters moaning about the same things they've been saying since Episode 1. I consider Fate/kaleid as a mix between the comedy/parody and the serious battles. It's like epic F/Z-style battles crossed with humor from Carnival Phantasm. An awesome combination in my eyes. Clearly, not everyone agrees... ![]() bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
1.5 minute of recap and so much dragging in the first half. Yet the fight in the second half is awesome. Still I can't help thinking of the word "asspull" when I watched this episode... ![]() So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Which is right in line with how FSN vn handled things as well - highschool clubs and comedy to a bit of mystery to "OH MY GOD ORPHAN SACRIFICES BODY HORROR AND RAPE" symbv said: 1.5 minute of recap and so much dragging in the first half. Yet the fight in the second half is awesome. Still I can't help thinking of the word "asspull" when I watched this episode... plot foreshadowing =/= asspull, especially considering who used it, what she did in FSN itself(like the fact that she summoned Berserker without grail's help and had enough mana to keep him operational AND had pretty much infinite number of command seals being grail(you know, the thing which is responsible for bringing forth servants in the first place) vessel capable of miracles At the same time it was quite well foreshadowed considering about a gazillion times they showcased that Illya was not exactly normal (if we already did not have FSN/F0 knowledge even) , like her being able to outrun Shirou(who is on a freaking bike) and her nigh instant mastery of wand powers. At the same time its not like she just went "oh by the way I have this power too" - the whole scene was handled in "what the hell is going on" kind of fashion with clear intentions to set up mystery in narrative. IF everyone would just forget it happened and act like nothing happened at all, then it would be an asspull, but considering so far they do not, its not. ![]() |

I can't wait to rewatch this fight in HD since it was pretty damn awesome. Fast paced showdown with some crazy action. Can't wait to see where things go from here. ![]() |

This episode was something more than perfect!!!!!!!!!!! maybe the definition of perfection!! Saber will always be my favorite Servant!!!!! i love her nobel phantasm, i love everything about her!!! And damn the scene with the two Excalibur was so good!!!! i hope that someone will upload a video of this fight on youtube *_* ![]() My friend code: 0688 - 6300 - 6898 |
What was that?! I can't even... I was literally tearing up during the fight scene from all that EPICNESS!!! And this is with LQ?!?! How the hell will i feel when watching at HQ???? O_O Like everyone said DAT ANIMATION, DAT OST, DAT ARCHER ILLYA, DAT EVERYTHING!!! I can die in peace now T^T ![]() |
OK WHO SAID DAT THIS SERIES IS RUBBISH?? just cause this series appeared to be bad... dosen't mean the quality itself is bad, i really hope more of u scored after u watched 3/4 of an anime rather than scoring based on ur first assumption. AND FOR THE EPISODE. NO WORD. ![]() |

Elite60 said: Illya Archer > Emiya Archer Silverlink impressed with this episode. QFT!! Damn, for the first time ever (I believe), we get to hear Emiya being played in a Fate anime. And it was awesome! I was kinda hoping for an "I am the bone of my sword" speech when Illya transformed, but this is OK too. This fight really reminded me of a certain ending in HF of FSN. ![]() ![]() Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
Antearion said: Well here is a guy that saw GARcher's powers for the first time(according to his list).This whole episode was just bad ass. My girl Illy is bad ass! She turned a sword into a arrow. She was making weapons with her hands. We need more shit like that to happen. Had to bump up the score. Can't wait for next episode. If Install function gets such reactions from non FSN readers/watchers then good job Silver Link.. ![]() |
Second part from the fight with Saber, I was like Damn, much more excellent then the previous episode. The animation, and the action, just WOW, I was left speechless after Saber was defeated. The OST, can't stop listening to it. I want to give this score as 6/5 ![]() |
I noticed they dragged out Rin and Luvia's screen time a bit, but the fight in the second half made it all worthwhile. Archer-Ilya has some moves and double Excalibur was epic. 10/10 With any luck, someone will have the Emiya theme uploaded before next week. ![]() |
I'm pretty sure this episode vindicated any shortcomings the rest of the series had. Fan service extends beyond bath scenes and nekomimi panty shots -- badassery and the familiar Fate franchise battles are what the fanbase really wanted. I'm glad they finally delivered it in this episode and I hope these kind of dark battles will continue. I expect that the next episode will involve some unwinding, but the promise of more like this will keep us all watching. ![]() |
