Sakura wears an eroge-conform outfit ~~
I'm really surprised how far the story has developed in the few episodes, and there are still 6 remaining.

To my knowledge there are conflicting sources regarding his identity and that's what's being used for him in Fate/stay night. There have been several people in that period of time thought to be Sasaki Kojiro, but it cannot be said for certain if any of them really were him.

Assassin's identity = lame. If Rin is gone, this show has lost it's best appeal as far as I'm concerned.

Sister like relationship... or real sisters... hmmm

If Rin dies... Then what can I look forward to? She's the one carrying the show so far.

Sasaki Kojiro is fake?!?! Can't be! Well... King Arthur's a girl... Type/Moon verse.

If Rin is purge off the show, The writers needs to come up with something smart to keep this show alive for me... I don't think Rin's dying anytime soon though... I hope.

Totally agreed....

Well the episode stored a lot of surprises for us... I can't believe this actually happened... but first of all... WTF with Sakura's sexy outfit huh?!! LOL... She has anice little booty... and nice... cleavage XD... Yah... whatever... that outfit was quite... revealing XD

Nooooo not Rin..... Please keep hr alive.... NOOOO she an't die!!! What will happen if she dies? To whom will Shiro go and ask for help? Knowledge? Saber + Shirou alone is not a great idea... if they're left alone they might actually lose the Holy Grail War... With Rin.... dead... will Shirou go nuts? I don't wanna see what will he do when he sees Rin heavily wounded... and by no other than his own lover Sakura... Oh hohoho... I knew all along... those two didn't mix a bit... Totally different.... but were they really sisters? I feel that they're more like bff than sis... ne way nice theory

LOL at Assassin... and now we're supposed to believe shuch bull from that guy... yeah right.... You're Kojirou! Nice fights on this epi.... But definitely Assassin versus Saber was the best one!! GOOOO Saber kill him already!!

Signs,
Green

it's gettin' a bit sour. Shirou and Sabre could have been killed easily a couple of times. But the enemy prefers not to kill them to strech the film longer. completely irrealistic if u ask me.

Yeah, I wondered that too. Wired outfit.

This was a great episode. I mean, it had everything. Amazing fights (Saber vs Assassin was great to watch), some info on the characters' past (Sakura is Rin's little sister?) and drama.

But I'm starting to think that this show is getting all the numbers messed up... First it's said that Archer took 5 of Berserker's lives. Then Rin takes one but they say that Shirou's sword kills him 7 times? That makes a total of 13... And now in the preview it seems like another servant is going to appear... And I hope there's a good explanation because Saber + Archer + Lancer + Berserker + Rider + Assassin + Caster = 7. So I don't think there's supposed to be another one right? Well, lets see how they explain it if that guy in gold is in fact a servant.

Finally, this show gives a decent-looking sword fight in Saber vs Assassin. The animation was nice and dynamic, and I think there was minimal use of still frames and action backgrounds. I'm pretty happy :D

Poor Rin. She's ultimately too nice to go all out against her childhood friend/sister (?) and gets stabbed. And going by Caster's words, it seems that she's now gonna be used as the sacrifice? That really does suck. Hopefully Shirou and Saber will start owning things up soon.

Also, what the hell was with Sakura's outfit. That was rather...excessive.

Sakura`s outfit was pretty intresting. :O I wonder if she has that in VN... I ned to play last route and find out!

Good thing they added something for Caster to do, since she was a bit lackluster in Fate route in VN.

No, Sakura doesn't wear anything perverted like that at any point in the VN. Not to mention, this arc is anime-original and heavily influenced by UBW more than HF.

Don't die Rin!
Caster's backstory is rather sad but seeing Rin and Sakura made me forget all about Medea.
So far F/Z hasn't shown how exatly Rin and Sakura were separated (but 1st ep focussing on Kariya was hearbreaking anyway), so I really liked that at least F/SN did that. Watching Sakura to be taken away by Zouken was so sad and made me want to kill that old creepy man!
Anyway, with Sakura's backstory revealed, I don't think there will be explanation about Shinji (since he's dead). Since Sakura is actually Tohsaka, Shinji isn't her brother then...
Oh, and Assasin is such a nice guy. :)

They did "tell you" how and why Sakura and Rin were separated in F/Z episode 1. Zouken wanted a succesor to the Matou family. ZOuken went to Tokiomi, reminded him of their two centuries old pact. Tokiomi gave him his "non-succesor" kid, because her magic was unwieldy. Basically, Rin got lucked out merely because her magic is OP. Also, Rin was told never to go to the Matou family and to treat Sakura as an enemy.

I meant that F/Z never showed the exact separation scene like F/SN did.

I really hope Rin dies in the next episode! I like her as person and her character but this nonsense german annoys me. I accept and expect mistakes from foreigners in a foreign language and I make mistakes, too but sentences like "das Schließen, Vogelkäfig, Echo", "Abzug, Bedienung, Mittelstand", "Stil schießt beschießen Erschießung" (what?) or "sechs, ein Fluss, ein Halt" make NO sense. What do they use? Google Translator? It sounds like a work from amateurs. The only sentence which made sense was "ein Körper ist ein Körper" because it's true that a body is a body. I have no problem with japanese people beeing crazy about german or any other language but they could ask at least one person who can speak the foreign language for help like I do if I don't have a clue. This anime wasn't bad in the past 18 episodes but this is the only thing I really hate (especially in this episode). Well, maybe Rin shouldn't die because I like her but I hope every character stops using foreign languages.

The irony is that, despite being an eroge, the VN never had any sort of costume like that.

It did had Saber in hot Bridal clothing. In fact, it was Caster who put her in said clothing...because yeah, Caster has a Saber fetish.

Saber was beaten because his way of punching is tricky.Even other overpowered normal humans would lose in the first match. Basically the enemy cant dodge(what Saber did and lost) unless he wants to die.Parrying like Shirou using Noble Phantasms and Archer's style did is better.Also if Saber were to fight him again she would win cause she knew the style.That's also one of the reasons he retreated during their first fight.

The eight servant came out of nowhere. At first I thought this was Mordret (lol again). Feels a bit plotdevicy. Hope they make good use of it. The father twist was better though.

Sigh.. It would be better if they hadnt done ANYTHING to Sakura, like it is intended in the Fate route...
Sakura is the VN in HF route is.... awesome. Well..If they did take Caster and Kuzuki scenes here.. I would have liked it better if they had shown how Rin basically kicked Caster's ass.

I was half-expecting

if I am correct... didnt this 'Caster arc' left many people in confusion regarding Sakura's and Rin's relation? I think many mistook them for childhood friends?
