| Lots of bonding between Shirou and Rin this episode. Not the most eventful one, but episodes like these are needed in between the more important ones. Next episode should be tanoshii. |

| Ah, being able to watch this beautiful anime everyweek. SUCH a win! |
| Great episode. Love the contrast between Shirou's and Rin's upbringing. While Kiritsugu abandoned his life as a mage to be a father, Tokiomi never did so. Even though Shirou is kinda thick headed, Rin envies him for having a father who didn't but their reputation as a mage ahead of being a parent. |

| My shipping heart can't take anymore of Rin and Shirou interacting. I wait for an episode for a week and it feels like it's 5 minutes, why not. |

He simply is following through with what he stated in previous episodes - he is not counting Rin as an enemy, so he follows through by treating her as NOT an enemy(not to mention proclaiming agency which is normal reaction after he could not do anything in Berserker fight, so in this situation with Rider he is intent at doing SOMETHING), which is what seems to be pissing her off this episode. The whole try at defeating him seems more like a try to prove to herself that she can do that and a big tsun-tsun try to prove to him that this is srs bsns. Which goes bust because Shirou is being Shirou and dere-dere takes over. |

Too many scenes. They waste time, that's all they do. You don't get any extra depth. You just get five minutes dedicated to showing you something they could have done in less than one, with a bunch of "moe" shizzle thrown in to flesh it out. |

On a side note, was Gandr really that powerful? In the VN it just looked like machine gun bullets being fired off at Shirou. If its powerful enough to blow up Skeleton monsters in previous episode on impact, it's sure as hell powerful enough to blow apart concrete. |

I understand Rin's motivation for attacking Shirou, and I understand why he ran after the servant in the forest - both were well foreshadowed. When I say Shirou is a little thick headed, it's because he didn't have the presence of mind to realize Tohsaka is an enemy - even after she stated plainly that they were. I know this is based in Shirou's nature to see the best in her, but he is being somewhat thick to not take her threat seriously. |

| Gandr can do both. It depends on how much mana is put into the shot. In general though, a Gandr just reduces phyisical health, as if you were struck by a cold. |

If Ufotable manages to portray his character for you to feel that he's thickheaded just from the 5th episode, I'd say Ufotable is doing a pretty great job adapting the original material so far. I always thought and I will say it: Shirou is not the best protagonist featured in VNs, to say the least. But it doesn't mean we won't see some pretty bad ass moments of his in UBW and especially Heaven's Feel. |

| Why the fuck is everyone spoiling the identity of the purple haired girl? The anime-only watchers aren't supposed to know she's as of yet. And yes, it is a spoiler. Having seen the prequel, the old anime, and having read the vn, i consider it one. All of these people are so mean. Anyway, amazing episode as usual. I should really marathon this and hold out until everything's out. I keep dying for more after just watching one episode ._. |

| Excellent episode as expected. I love how badass Shirou looked in this episode. The room scene where Shirou turns the desk into a shield was great as well as his serious attitude when talking to Rin afterwards. The moment he defended Rin from the chain attack, his seriousness when he went after the servant, and even him mocking her were all pretty awesome. Then he catches Rin completely off-guard by taking a few steps back with a resolute look and asking her if she wants to continue the fight - thus making her blush yet again lol. He's really an expert at that. Really looking forward to the temple scene in the next episode! |

Ufotable style is slow pacing with extended scenes. They're doing it since Kara no Kyoukai and I'd say they're pretty much great at what they do. It's just you not liking this style specifically. They're doing a seinen take on a somewhat shounenish visual novel, and it only does good to F/sn in my honest opinion. |
|
| Well we know the purple haired girl is not Saber, or Archer or Berserker or Lancer, which leaves Caster unlikely as no magic was used, instead a weapon, Assassin possibly but with there class skill presence concealment would of just stabbed and left without being noticed. Which pretty much leaves Rider. |

| Yeah they definitely exaggerated the Gandr shots just a little bit, but it brought out the intensity of the chase. Like Mickdrew said, I loved the way they handled that last conversation. Its purpose was to flesh out Rin and her upbringing of course, but the emphasis put on last sentence about Kiritsugu being a father over a mage was very nice. Another bone to FZ watchers in a way. Little shadow man running through the forest was lol, but I like the decision to not show him. It prevents people from taking more digs at Shirou's character because Episode did feel a little rushed just because of Tohsakas's 'quick' turnaround. It was bound to happen though and it's not like it isn't perfectly justifiable considering it's in her character and was a smart decision on her part as Shirou showed he is not a thread to her and will even protect her despite the circumstances. Just that there will be those special viewers that look for any little thing to pick at without thinking through it, and that just happens to be an easy target because of the pacing. |
 |
| Why start with that fucking scene ? why do you want so much for me to feel my own feelings, ufotable ? ;_; |
FakePriest said: Even if it doesnt, Shirou clearly states in the episode "i dont know who she was" and so, we're not supposed to know her servant class. Its quite simple. Relevance or not, its morally wrong. Why not spoil RinPriest said: I would say that her class isnt even a spoiler that affects anything.I mean nobody will go "OMG she is ****class?AMAZING!!"This guy is right you know, we aren't supposed to know her Servant class yet. Or are we? servant class then? I know its a huge difference, but the servant class itself doesnt really mean anything? Theres no argument about this. Its a spoiler and people are a little too careless.. |

RinPriest said: CookingPriest said: If its powerful enough to blow up Skeleton monsters in previous episode on impact, it's sure as hell powerful enough to blow apart concrete. But that never happened in the VN. I am just talking about if Gandr was really that powerful because in a bad end it managed to hit Shirou but he turned out be okay. So it can destroy concrete but not blow the shit out of Shirou? It's mentioned in one of the Rin Interludes when she and Archer are rescuing the office workers. It isn't shown in the VN but the information that she had to deal with the bone creatures with her magic is explicitly stated in the narration. Mod Note: And just a reminder while I continue cleaning: Don't Spoil this or any of the other adaptations, and don't bait or bad-mouth other posters. |

Its literally sum up of their VERY different experiences in their respective prologues (EP0 an EP1) and Rin's realization of that. |

| Ahhh, yes, the ''I wanna kill you so don't move, Shiro!'' scene was hilarious in the VN too. ''I-It's not like I wanted to kill you or anything, baka.'' Damnit, Tohsaka, you destroyed an whole classroom! How the school gonna explain to the students that during the night, the whole school have been rampaged?! That opening scene made me sad, with Kiritsugu looking so weak... He looked souless. Saber won't be plaised to learn what happened at school. Especially since she warned him to be careful xD And, well, Tohsaka just couldn't believe it. Love that smug face too. Purple servant (won't say her name since they didn't said it yet) is so awesome. She surely is my third favorite servant after Archer and Saber. Just look at that, can she be more awesaome? The fighting is still very fluid and exciting. Ufotable really want to put to shame Deen... Well, they're right to. Tohsaka is really unimpressed by Shiro... Want some Rin moe? Have some Rin moe.

CookingPriest said: I know it was already in the VN and had an established purpose, that's why I worded it that way. But when you have the episode start off with Kerry being relieved by Shirou's takeaway from his raising him, and then the episode ending emphasizing that aspect while showing Shirou reflecting on it, it's very easy to see it that way.Drake1000 said: Yeah that wasn't any particular reference to FZ that ufotable added, it was already in the VN.

mickdrew_99 said: CookingPriest said: He knows that Rin said that. He simply does not give a fuck about that and follows through with how he said he will view her. That's kind of the definition of "thick headed" You could say Shirou's a little thick-headed, but Rin hadn't made a move at all. He knows there's a huge contradiction between what she says and what she does. He can easily see through Rin and therefore sees no reason to take her as an enemy. While Shirou didn't take her seriously at first until she attacked him, he even caught her off-guard later on by asking if she wanted to resume the fight. He didn't have reason to take her seriously until that moment because he knows deep down Rin's just stubborn and doesn't want to fight him - let alone kill him. Shirou's constantly embarrasing her and exposing her vulnerable side because he knows those things. The things he does are almost like saying "I know you won't admit it, but it's plain obvious you're just trying to put up a front now and you know it!" |
