Not when the anime-only viewers don't get to know anything about the FSN Rider. Appears in an episode, dies in a couple of weeks later with less than 5 minutes of screen-time. For those who just watch the anime, she is nothing more than a Tottemo-sekushi-senshi. Until HF, for anime-only viewers, that's the only reason I think they will consider her to be better than FZ Rider. But you have every right to disagree. For me, FSN Rider is better than F/Z Rider. To be honest, most of the servants in FSN are better than those in F/Z except for Saber. I like my pouting saber version more. |

Most likely not, Deen's adaptation was still mainly the Fate route. We have already seen in the remake that execution makes a huge difference. They said they respect Deen's adaptation of Fate It wouldn't make much sense for them to do UBW then HF And then go back to the "tutorial" route. It doesn't make sense to adapt Fate/Zero first. DEEN had an adaptation of UBW too, so that's just BS. Not to mention that they say they "Respect" that adaptation and then every.single.interview afterward takes shots at that adaptation. You know where I could find a transcript of these interviews? |

Well no one actually said you have to like F/SN Rider better, and most of us agree that with just UBW, she's gonna get a lot of shit. What we said is what we think, that F/SN Rider is better than F/Z Rider, which is of course due to knowledge of HF, so I really wouldn't expect F/SN anime only viewers to have the same feelings. Saber's the same, though. |

TBH, the UBW movie was marginally better than the Fate tv series, at least it had (halfway) decent animation (at times) and didn't merge in other routes and anime original nonsense (just cut out 80% of detailed content). |

They removed a lot of the scenes that should be in the route though. Honestly they were just skipping right to the fight scenes most of the time and half of them ended up making no sense as a result of that. Fine, fine, they're both shit. There. |

Why did Caster appear as Rider after she died? Was it like a philosophical scene about reincarnation or something? |
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Epicenter said: Alright, alright, I'll wait for the Heaven's feel movie. But based on Fate Zero and UBW Rider of UBW sucks multiple levels compared to Zero's and I agreed with Blood Requiem. I didn't watch the Fate series though, people shit on it so much I assumed I shouldn't// Like I said before, most masters and servants who don't get "the exposure they deserve" in one route get a whole lot more exposure in the other routes. It's not unusual for a character to get reasonable exposure in one of the routes, be under the spotlight in another one, and play a much less relevant role in one of them (e.g. they die pretty early, or get badly injured, etc). This is actually very nice because it keeps things fresh. There's no need to be pitiful since pretty much everyone gets a chance to shine in the novel. If you disregard the existence of the other routes, you'll get the wrong idea about several characters. Blood Requiem is constantly being sarcastic and impersonating secondaries. A lot of what he says around here is just the likely reaction of secondary. |

In fact keeping her in spirit form would preserve mana under a normal contract. 4.Because she's confident she doesn't need him? Or that she can summon him in time? What dumb choices?

This englobes the gratuitous ass-shots of both Rider and Rin. Harem undertones - the teacher, sakura, rin and saber, all hanging around him.

Great episode again. This time is the highlight of my week. Welp, gotta go play more FHA to give Rider the attention she deserves. r3birth said: Dumb choices - So many from the beginning of the show, like Shirou trying to fight a Servant alone, or going about is life as if his life is not in danger, putting himself in harm's way instead of being calculating, etc. Shirou doesn't know how powerful servants are at the beginning. Or even what he is in. It's foolish to fight a servant, not dumb. Wait, so you want him to be Lelouche or something??? Realistic people aren't calculating everything. |

r3birth said: So right the next day after his nearly fatal injury (guessing by the amount of blood he lost) he's healed, I'm guessing this is because of [removed] but neither Shirou, Saber nor the show itself explained any of that, someone who doesn't know about that must find his quick recovery ridiculously stupid. Shirou - "Were you holding back on me today?" Saber - "No" Shirou - "You didn't seem as hard on me as you did yesterday" Saber - "Because your abilities have improved" Shirou must be a genius to be improving so fast, not genius enough to stop living a normal life as if he's not an untrained mage in a deadly battle royale though. So... The reason Shirou doesn't have Saber with him invisible all the time is because he doesn't have all that much mana, so why was Rin's Servant not with her? So much tsundere, dumb choices, high-school romance and a bit of fan-service, the harem undertones... At least there's less bs slice-of-life and we got a death but the act wasn't even animated, disappointed. How is this better than Fate/Zero? Agreed. How dare the show not explain things to us that we were clearly not supposed to know as of yet? Did they honestly believe that we would be patient enough to wait for our questions to be answered later rather than sooner? It's stupid that we're already 1/3 of the way into the show and they've yet to tell us everything. It was also definitely stupid of Rin not to have Archer with her. Not allowing him to get close to her ally that he nearly killed and had to be restrained through the use of a command spell, just what was she thinking? It's a terrible abomination, how different F/SN is compared to its prequel F/Z which was written after it. I expected F/SN to be just like F/Z, an it's an objective crime that it isn't. I wanted more darkness and maturity like F/Z, not some harem with annoying generic shounen protagonists. They also don't give us enough details. Sure this anime is an adaptation of one of three routes in the VN where different information and characters are given different amounts of spotlight and there will also be an adaptation of another route that will provide some of the info this route is lacking in, but it is an objective crime that Ufotable didn't think about cramming all routes into this one 25/26 episode anime. I watched all nine episodes that have aired thus far expecting an F/Z 2, but clearly it's not a successor nor does it cater to my personal tastes. Therefore, as a result the show is an objective failure and clearly F/Z > F/SN. Rating: 1/5 |

So cringy, sakura always doing the senpai thing, rin always doing the tsundere thing, even saber acted tsundere this episode. Let's see; 1.Referring to the Lancer fight? Or the Rider one? If it's the former, he didn't know wtf a servant was so why wouldn't he try to defend his life? Rider? He sensed the whole set up was a trap to get him to use a command seal, and in one of the bad ends of the VN Rider cuts off his arm the moment he does so. 2.He doesn't go about his life like that. He's just confident he'll be safe around other people, which he mostly is. As for putting himself in harms way, that has to do with aspects of his personality that have yet to be touched on. Though at this rate I have a feeling they'll go over your head. 3.Once for Rin. For Rider, huh? She barely appeared to get any fanservice. And I can call a certain someone being nude at one point in Zero fanservice, doesn't mean it's fanservice. 4.Wow, his guardian and mother/older-sister figure hangs around him, and his servant, look at that, what a shock and twist, what a harem. Saber's a little miffed he's copying someone who's not his own teachers style, she doesn't see it in a romantic light. Sakura and Rin do, the latter less so, which isn't a harem at all. Besides Sakura will be mostly irrelevant in this route. |

But then again the writing isn't Stay Night forte. Shirou vs Lancer - he was just running around... Shirou vs Rider - charging forward alone against an unknown enemy. |

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Why people think Saber has a thing for Shirou in that brief exchange? I mean who wouldn't be annoyed that you're asked to teach someone only to find out the guy is learning from another? |

r3birth said: It would be logical to either go with Rin and support her, seeing as how she's the more experienced mage, or run away with Rin, since he's completely exposed running towards a hidden Servant. But then again the writing isn't Stay Night forte. Shirou vs Lancer - he was just running around... Shirou vs Rider - charging forward alone against an unknown enemy. Are you making up scenes in your head? 1. Rin was immediately treating the student. Shirou wanted to distract the unknown attacker. He had no idea it was a Servant. 2. No he was not. The first scene with him and Lancer was not the fight everyone means. It's when Lancer ambushes Shirou at home and Shirou was doing better than people give him credit for. 3. He never charged forward once he saw Rider, what the hell did you watch? |

Yeah, just leave that girl to die. Or turn their back on a servant and get killed instantly. Writing isn't Stay Night's forte? Pls. Shirou vs Lancer? No, really, you expect him to beat Lancer? And he did more than run around; he deflected two of Lancers attacks and blocked his third with an improvised shield. Shirou Vs Rider: Only option. Can't turn his back, and standing there would allow her to snipe them from afar, which is even worse. And trying to use his command spell would have gotten him killed, as I said before. |

r3birth said: InsertPriestHere said: ´r3birth said: Insertgarbagehere Let's see; 1.Yes, because they're keeping the reveal for later and because it was already revealed in the Fate route at this point in the VN. That is also a spoiler and should be in tags. And they already said he has healing abilities, so no, not stupid. 2.There is a reason for it, maybe? He was clearly copying Archers technique, which they said in the episode itself. 3.It's because Saber can't turn into spirit form, even with a good master. In fact keeping her in spirit form would preserve mana under a normal contract. 4.Because she's confident she doesn't need him? Or that she can summon him in time? What dumb choices? Fanservice where? Harem undertones where? Oh no, they didn't show people dying, not enough grimderp and edgy for me, wah wah. Dumb choices - So many from the beginning of the show, like Shirou trying to fight a Servant alone, or going about is life as if his life is not in danger, putting himself in harm's way instead of being calculating, etc. Fanservice - Notice I've written "a bit of fan-service", not flat-out fan-service. This englobes the gratuitous ass-shots of both Rider and Rin. Harem undertones - the teacher, sakura, rin and saber, all hanging around him. So cringy, sakura always doing the senpai thing, rin always doing the tsundere thing, even saber acted tsundere this episode. The dumb choices you mentioned are all purposeful, I'm guessing you haven't figured it out. The guy is suicidal and is essentially an emotionless robot he doesn't consider his own life as worthwhile in comparison to another so in the smallest chance of saving he'd gladly sacrifice his life. It's literally his version of Kiritsugu's ideal if it's impossible to save everyone then he will be that sacrifice. They skipped it over but it should have been revealed early that's he's not simply good at Archery he's completely mastered because he is an embodiement of the ancient Japanese art of Archery which is to have no sense of self and become nothingless, which is literally what he is. He has one real goal purpose or emotion apart from to save lives, you find out why later on. Basically Shirou, is crazy with a capital C, it would have been more obvious had they shown him do doing the procedure that could kill him every day so just he can use magic. |

But then again the writing isn't Stay Night forte. Shirou vs Lancer - he was just running around... Shirou vs Rider - charging forward alone against an unknown enemy. It LOOKED like that, but really, he was thinking. Hence why most of the VN readers are complaining for the lack of monologues. In the VN, we know what's happening, and that he's calculating what he does. fateoffate said: Why people think Saber has a thing for Shirou in that brief exchange?

So you clearly ignore that there is a girl that needs further treatment OR that running away together would make them easy targets. He made a weapon out of a poster and defended against his first attack, run away(which is why you criticize the Rider scene),then defended himself again with the poster using a different method.Clearly he was only running around using luck. I already explained the Rider fight.Common sense and paying attention isnt your forte. |

Shirou was an idiot thinking he could take on a servant alone. It wasn't like that servant would have continued nearly killing other people without someone to intervene in any way they could. You're right that keeps going about his life as if there was no danger. |
