----------------------------------------
New opening... I really liked the atmosphere of the first one, and this one left me with a "...what ?" feeling.
In the first one, Saber appears with the sunlight, it's insanely beautiful.
This one ends with a nice picture of Saber, so it still has some value.

Having seen Gurren Lagann just before, in the middle of the episode I wanted to shout "GATTAI!".
But, alas...

Mmm, shack time. You guys get what went on, no? ;)

The new OP is weird... but I'm sure that I'll grow to like it by the end of the series.

After playing the VN, Saber's "recharge" scene seems like a joke. Oh well, they couldn't have put "that" in anyway. Last episode was much better.

Saber's "Recharge" was just a lame excuse to put
in the story. The same goes for Thosaka & Sakura.... (recharge scenes)

But the whole recharge thing could of just been helped if Rin became Saber master.

Nice !@# scene in the middle. Berserker has a pretty rigged noble phantasm. At least archer did quite a good job ending some of his lives, just 7 or so more to go.

Shiro is starting to be more and more like his future self... soon that bow would be able to shoot holes through ceilings =/

Well, got to put the H-game references in there somewhere I guess...and holy shit kill him 7 more times. I hate Ilya....very much so

OMG DID YOU SEE THAT SABER GOT EMBARRASSED BY SHOWING A BIT OF HER BODY TO EMIYA UNLIKE BEFORE WHERE SHE SAID SHE'S A SERVANT BEFORE SHE IS A WOMAN but that could have just been a plot hole but who cares about those things anyway ALSO SHE TURNED RED WHEN HE GRABBED HER ARM! IS THIS THE CONTINUATION OF THE BEGINNING OF LOVE THAT HAPPENED ONLY A FEW EPISODES AGO?!!!!??1

If he had 12 lives, and archer supposedly ended 5(thought that was said in the archer v berserker ep), and Rin killed him once, wouldn't he only have 6 left and not 7?

They are hopeless... WHA!!!! Well... they had to run at the beginning... and well make up a plan... and looks like the plan may work out if they really give their best... but nope... Ilyasviel and Berserker alias Heracles is too much for them... For real... that's a shame..

Well then we had this Recharge part... or Bonding I may rename it... A way to find a way to get Shirou's mana flow into Saber's mana stocks...Sex scene? Well the foreplay looked like that... Did Shirou had sex with both girls in the game? Now I wonder what happens there XD... Well whatever... the point is that they need to make a physical contact to succeed in the Ritual of Magic Circuit Transference....

Dunno you guys, but I liked how Saber made herself look tougher... but now.. she has completely lost that... "charm"... Looks like this new bond with Shirou changed her a lot... for the bad.... Saber is useless in the battle against Berserker Version Two.... I'm pretty much dissapointed of Saber... she should be more awesome....

And now... it's confirmed!!! Shirou's future is Archer... just as Kira01 has said... Shiro made up the same LongBow that archer used!!!! Ohohohohoho... It's the real thing... We can be certain that this won't end never... that Shirou will live an Infinite Cycle of despair!!! ohohohoho

tutut... Rin is in danger of death... what will happen now? Will Shirou save her for real?

Gatha love Tohsaka Rin... Smart, good looking, Atheletic, got a sense of humor, and most importantly, that nice motto... "If I got time to worry, I'd rather take action."

Why aren't she the main character T_T he's been carrying the show so far, hope she don't get squash or this show will lose 80% of it's attraction.

Saber's fight is rather dull when compared to Archer's... BTW, is Saber really the best class for servants? It seems like Berserker and Archer easily can beat Saber...

Well they did say the strength of the servant was also dependant on the master summoning them, and to add they can have different heroes as different classes i think, i.e hercules as lancer etc, but i guess berserker is the best for him

I liked this episode (though the mana transferring was odd) and as so, I almost felt bad reading all of this posts. I guess people are just comparing this to last one in a way that, in my opinion, they shouldn't.

All the more reason to get the VN.

Good sex is probably the best way to transfer Pranic energy back and forth, although it took a while for Rin to reveal how it is done to Shirou. I suspect she didn't really have to kiss Shirou first in order to initiate the "transfer".

Shirou better come up with a plan on how to save Rin pretty quickly.
Please don't feed the trolls!

So that is another way to transfer mana...
Shirou was meant to lose his possible maximum powers and yet he can now make bows and stuff, which he couldn't easily do before?

Still good to watch though!

That's dialogue that was added into the anime for some reason. Shirou doesn't lose shit by replenishing Saber's mana, there is no "loss of magic circuits" or any of that bullshit.

This show keep getting worse after each episode.
Saber's recharge was a lame, a very lame excuse to put more damn ecchi is this show.

And the new opening sucks.
If I hadn't downloaded all episodes already, I would drop this for sure.

Probably the worst anime I ever watched.
After this, I'll take every single anime I have dropped and give another chance.

I liked the new opening scene i thought it was more interesting then the first one.

I didnt like this episode as much as the last one.

The mana bonding thing was a joke i thought. Why did they have to do it that way? it makes no sense.

Also there was alot of Saber + Shirou moments in this episode.. im still holding strong for him and Rin but theres no way thats gonna happen.

The fight between Saber and Berserker was nothing compared to the fight between him and Archer.

Now poor Rin is getting squashed too death :/

I like the fact that, regardless of the version he ALWAYS gets killed with one more life than needed.

Hahahaha, ok, the mana scene was really interesting. I hope they won't ever do that again... The dragon looked really out of place there... Weird super orgasm shit or something like that. They could have done it without the dragon right? Was there any need for the dragon? Does it have a role later in the story? I hope not...
