Finally, Sakura makes her appearance. No Tiger Dojo at the end and Taiga is pissed, lol!

This episode was kind of a spoiler for those who haven't played HF route in FSN. Poor Sakura :

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I'm not so sure about trying to make Sakura's repeated beatings and rapes into comedy...

Who raped Sakura? Only shinji or multiple people?

Btw is Gilgamesh in this episode?

Shinji, unless you count the Crest Worms. Zouken did mention them "taking her innocence".

This episode was cringeworthy in several scenes. Trying to make comedy out of domestic abuse and rape is pretty trashy. And that's not just a complaint from a Sakura fan, it genuinely wasn't funny.

After awesome ep5 we get this? I'm utterly dissapointed, and i was so looking forward to a great laugh again. ;___;
The best was Magical Ruby and Caren i guess. Also nice seeing the epilogue CG from HF modified.

That was pretty brutal with Sakura's treatment especially as the start, and yeah that's kind of messed up to try and make a comedy out of it. Although I did like the part with Shinji trolling online. I haven't played the VN although I still know the jist of the HF route, but I think it needs an adaption pronto.

Wasn't funny? Did you miss Rider beating up Shinji, nearly killing him, acting like it was because she was just clumsy? Douchbag Shinji getting hurt and facing death is always funny.

so much lols. So they made the Sakura bit all a J-drama/comedy/parody hybrid? Brilliant. Although I do agree the domestic violence and attempted rape wasn't funny.

Poor Sakura I'm just glad rider was there to rescue her.
Rider forgot to use breaks even with A+ riding skills
Rider really loves Sakura to help her even if sakura is against it
lol caster leaving her rule breaker.

not really a good episode because of the abuse to sakura.
looking forward on the next ep

Only people who played the game would get this, like me, but even then it's not really that funny considering this was about the cruel beatings of Sakura. Rider did make an attempt to make this funny(lol at flashing) but overall it wasn't funny.
Wish this episode was that Phantasmoon segment. Kaleido Ruby, Magical Caren and Magical Amber <3

- Rider being awesome
- Taiga jobbing to the budget again

So... am I the only one who felt really awkward watching this? I mean, especially the start of the Sakura segment was really... cruel. The comedy didn't make it better for me because well... I know that in canon, there was only abuse, no comedy.

There were some funny parts but the punching and the attempted rape was just going a wee little too far considering it's "comedy".

That said, I didn't expect Magical Caren, Magical Amber and Kaleido Ruby to fight Phantas-Moon during her skit (complete with an image of an evil Shirou, I think, in the background). All we were missing was Prisma Ilya (and perhaps the rest of the magical girls from Fate/Kaleido Liner).

Lol, I noticed it too. Well, both are voiced by the same seiyuu.

Didn't expect Tokiomi to appear although I would have wanted this studio to animate his face.

And for ppl who didn't like this episode, at least look the bright side: Rider almost killed Shinji. I would have wanted her to actually kill him though.

what i like about Sakura segments is how Sakura is so full of herself.. i laugh at how she laments on her beauty, figure, devotion, kindness, etc. (even though she is well aware that Rider is more popular than her) and blaming them for all her misfortunes.. i'm glad i activated my filter negative emotions skill in those segments.. really, she got it hard and i should pity her just like the rest of these guys.. but i was only laughing..

Don't get why so many people have problem with the episode. Yeh seeing Sakura constantly abused is not funny but seeing Shinji abused by Rider definitively was. Besides it is nice to see Rider's carrying side. The only problem was that Sakura didn't appreciate all the effort =/

This pretty much sums up the episode for me. Sakura and Rider's antics made the episode comedy gold imo.

The segments with Shinji the scum abusing Sakura weren´t funny at all. More less after you watch Fate/Zero. And I´m a Sakura fan. And in the end, when Sakura didn´t appreciate Rider´s help and said that she prefered the abusive Shinji....that ruined it all.

The funniest thing was that Lancer died again and Rider abusing Shinji (I might hate him, but then I remember that he was just being used by Zouken like his dad, who is another scum...Yeah, definetely Zouken is the most detestable character and being a Matou is suffering). The cutest part was the flashback with Loli Sakura and Shota Shinji (to think that this cute boy ended up becoming a bastard....)

Was I the only one who found funny the scene when Archer and Nanako were talking nasty things about Rin and Ciel only to be ownd by them in the end?
