About Shirou's chant, it's nice once in a while when someone explains what they're thinking of the situation as they use their special powers. |

Aww I was expecting the fight to be something more..... I know shirou is going to own, but one poke die 7 times already, that's so cheeesy...
Luckily the rest of the ep saved it. Gave it a 7 based on the rest.

Though I really wasn't expecting that much in the unquie/different character development in the way the character directly develops ( e.g Shirou growing stronger; who would of though that.. ). With the boy meets girl type story, but I was hoping that it would of been a little better in the way they do it ^^; Not to say its Bad, because I like Fate/stay night ^^ but alot of the Character development isn't something I'm really going to remember the anime for. I really hope that they dont just dump Sakura character around for just to move the story would be nice if she has more of part to play in it, mabye not just one incident then thats.. all.. they are leaving hints and crap around but so far nothing really has come from it, looking forward to see how it pans out even if in ends up being simple I wont really mind as long as its interesting! |

Or it simply could have been that Saber's emotions were pent up all this time and now the transfer has caused them to come crashing down.
Then there is the sex analogy, many people can't seperate their emotions from sex. While it is easy to argue that they didn't have sex, the transfer was shown to be an intimate experience that gave them a supernatural bond. From what we've been shown, every Servant/Master pair except Rider/Shinji has had some sort of emotional bond. |

A 7 .. while there is a lot of fanservice action even if its just Saber .. the drawing put me off a bit.
And after that epic fight with Archer, that stab is just On the remaining episodes ... I couldnt resist imagining Saber's (and Sakura) reaction on each other ... Definitely something I LOL. And deep down, Saber must be very thankful that Rider is no longer around... with the body complex against Rin, she have a hell lot of complex if she start compairing with that goddess

Seven out of ten. Berserker's speech was the highlight of this episode, nice to hear the guy do something other than roar in a gutteral fashion. Some fanservice (which got a bit too over the top), and some nice imaging going on.
Detractors for me were Saber (almost the entire episode, actually), and Rin's little spiel about the Excalibur's sheath. Rin talking (though I do love to see her have her go at exposition) was too... contrived? Perhaps it was just the translation I was watching, but it seemed like she was saying, effectively "Hey, by the way, here's an explanation of a plot point! Wasn't that cool!" Believability, Studio Deen. Believability. And that brings me to the first (though treated second) problem I had with this episode, and that is Saber. It is quite enjoyable to watch her changing into a human being with feelings and emotions. Very nice and all that. But happening over the course of twenty four hours? She has been showing some minor (very minor) feelings since the incident in the park (which was in itself highly contrived, I can't be bothered finding where I wrote that right now), but since the transfer of Shirou's magic circuit, she has become... girlish. Which happened, Fate time, the night before last. And it probably happened in early morning, etc, so in total, it's been only a day or two since she decided that she would develop feelings at all. Saber's character before that in the series has been very resolute and very unemotional - or perhaps more detached than unemotional. It's all well and good to say that there is now an emotional bond between them that is strengthened (which Saber does say when she mentions spiritual links), but it should not happen this fast. The amusing thing for me here is that in terms of anything actually going anywhere - almost the entire thing is rather one sided. Saber is the one who is getting 'emotionally attached,' far more so than Shirou. He is still acting in friend-mode, where he has been the entire show, though there have been murky and oblique references either way. But regardless of the relationships unfolding in the show (which I will be elaborating on again in the near future, as I did eight or so episodes ago) the evolution of Saber as an emotional 'female' character is too fast. Reminds me of some rather silly arguments I've had over evolutionary biology with various devout religious people, who seem to think that evolution is claimed to be an 'instantaneous' process. It definitely isn't - and neither is the development of emotions in a real sense. And it shouldn't be shown as such. Oh, one final thing: Spoiler for Rider:

@ archer
I'm not complaining at what it is, I'm complaining about how it was done. Perhaps a better word would have been 'exposition' instead of 'explanation' - though she is indeed explaining about Excalibur and its sheath. I'm quite aware of what is coming up in regards to Saber and Shirou - I'm just somewhat disappointed in the way that the writers are choosing to bring some of the material across -Andiyar

I still give you a rep point if Suki lets me, just for saying what I have been saying about Saber's little change in emotions.

this episode sucked. heck every ep sucked except the archer one.
the problem was lack of funding. - and also lack of fappable rori material. i'm sure the studio could have done a good battle scene but i think they ran out of money. the gay one hit kill was worse than anything in GGXX. i mean come on ... there wasn't even a SET UP. IMO they should have had saber and shirou kill berserker 7 times over. together. e.g. Shirou images a couple swords - throws one to saber - and they both attack. that would have actually made some sense. the second problem with the episode was the screen time ilya got. she needed more. the thing i didn't believe was shirou not realizing that ilya was sleeping with him. i mean how can you NOT KNOW a loli is right on top of you? wtf. anyways props to shirou for added any bitch to his harem |
