This episode sure strayed from the dark style with a lighthearted episode with little Rin. Creepy at nighttime, but Ryunosuke doesn't seem to have anything capable of using magic. I wonder how was he was chosen to get Caster? Kariya did save Rin from those tentacle things. I thought F/Z was suppose to be dark and foreboding. The episode overall was okay, but misplaced.

I'm not convinced that this episode is going to have any impact on the pacing of the series as a whole. Generally you don't start a new arc mid-episode, so they were kind of stuck with using a full episode for the Rin mini-arc regardless of whether they stuck to the book or not.

Uryuu clearing is trying out some cat-and-mouse fun, he didn't expect Rin to deal that much damage to him, even if it's temporary. now the main question is, why is Caster so far away from his master in this episode. Okay guys, the concern for ep's pacing is valid, but before that actually happens, let's not hate on this episode okay? Stop being the naysayers even before it happens. Who knows, Ufotable might be able to actually pull of a great episode in a vital one like the next one. If ep11 does indeed got screwed up, then we can come back and blame this episode, before then, just chill.

Magical Girl Lyrical Rin.
Well, no, even if Rin's VA voiced a character involving another dark book. I was laughing at how Rin was kicking the Ryuunosuke's ass, but good thing Caster wasn't right them with him at the time. Anyhow, Rin is a adorable and badass character that already has outdone her tree of a dad. Of course, the only problem is that this episode just feels out of place except to tell us that the Tohsaka's aren't really the best at being parents. 7/10

I thought the use of horror in this episode to be the best in the series thus far, the lighting and shading for Fuyuki at night really made it seem like you should question the sanity if anyone who actually wanted to live there, or at the very least go out after dark. Contrasting to last week where I felt the "bloody sneaker and retching" was too little to convey the horror of what Caster & Uryuu were doing, the first 2/3 of this episode had the taut suspense of a decent horror film.
Then Rin activated her Super Saiyan Magical Girl Powers and the feelings of "and now for something completely different..." with mood whiplash set in rather swiftly. It was filler, but decent filler that gave Tokiomi and Kariya some badly needed characterization, loli pandering aside. Hoo boy the action and bodycount in the latter half of the series are probably going to be off the charts with every master and servant still standing. |

Rather pointless to discuss the merits of the next episode using what we know from this one in this thread, since if you really knew anything about what the next episode was like you wouldn't be talking about it in this non-spoiler thread.
Anyhow, I feel that for it's own merits, the episode was actually fairly well-done. If I were to rate it separately from the rest of the series, it would've been somewhere around a 8 or a 9 due to how it was able to masterfully weave a standalone story arc with it's own resolution. However, as another episode for the Fate/Zero series, it's not that good since it feels like a complete tangent to the storyline and the character perspective doesn't really mesh with what's already been established. However, it does provide some much needed insight into Tokiomi and Kariya, the former which hasn't seen much action in the series and the latter which hasn't been seen much at all. So, a 7 for the technical aspects. Last edited by Archer; 2011-12-04 at 05:07. Reason: even more emphasis |

Or maybe Kariya wins and makes some complicated wish that brings Rin back to life while saving Sakura (and gets him Aoi and cures his wormrot). It would be a triumphant story of love conquering all. Or maybe Kiritsugu wins, and we cut to a scene of him with Irisviel, Maiya, Illya, Shirou, and Archer all congratulating him. Then they announce movies called End of Fate and Fate/Rebuild. Or maybe Kotomine wins, and he wishes to switch bodies with Kiritsugu. So the Kiritsugu who raised Shirou was actually Kotomine, and the Kotomine in Fate Stay Night is Kiritsugu. Kotomine: Saber never told you what happened to your father. Shirou: She told me enough! She told me you killed him! Kotomine: No. I am your father. Shirou: NOOOOOOOO I'm so sad we don't get to speculate wildly about the plot for this show.
