Vexper said: That scene where they dive down the side of the house to hide and Rin insists on pushing up against Shirou... why? She could have just stood alongside him, there was plenty of room O__o I don't know, in the VN I think it was a smaller alley but even then I didn't care for that at all there and don't here. In the VN, though, they were facing one another. |

Shirou's monologue at the end was pretty cool, though. But, holy shit, when did this fanbase get so pessimistic? I think its because some people are just not used to being so optimistic all the time, that they feel they have to add some negativity for the sake of it. I think it will be like this: Anime only viewer: Whaaat? Asspull. VN readers: No, this is foreshadowed in Fate route which you are supposed to know before UBW route. Anime only viewer: But this is anime not VN. Sure, it doesn't matter to us because we have read Fate route, but most of those who haven't probably won't like it. Objectively it's not needed since UBW route isn't standalone and builds up on what you know from Fate, but unfortunately I doubt things will be this simple next week. |

kokusho36 said: All we said was asspull, we didn't say who we didn't say what and we didn't say how. For all they know we could be talking about something different.BotatoPriest said: Preview's hint is already way more spoilery than anything we said. And here I was, thinking that he may have just been looking for a weapon that was lying around, like when Lancer tried to kill him. Thank you guys for clearing my doubts, then. -.- And for the record 3 things could count as asspulls next episode. Luckily though, Nasuverse explains everything so for those willing to sit through long ass magical explanation bullshit it's no problem. |

kokusho36 said: [ btw, good joob spoiling the next ep, VN readers. anyone can tell that spoiler will happen just by reading this topic. ^This. Can you not talk about this here? There's a general discussion thread for a reason. At this point I think this thread foreshadows it more than the Fate route would. >.> |
| 'asspulls' |

nocorras said: It's only upsetting because there is no way to defend what happens. Why explain after the fact when you can foreshadow it properly anyway? THIS. VN might have fate route,but this DOES NOT. THis episode had multiple places to place foreshadowing. Instead they gave us THREE eating scenes. |
 |
| Ahh, the last scene about Shirou's mentality was very much needed. I'm liking where this is going. |

| Pretty weird episode. It was good but a bit disturbing. So there'll be an asspull powerup next week? Nice job spoilerpriests |
ZeroDragon said: The sad part is it could have been easily avoided by, literally, a 2 minute long scene in one of the earlier episodes. I was hoping they'd do that since they added small details from Fate, but eh..

Shh you nitpicker ;) I guess on the bright side, we won't get more of that "TOTALLY F/Z SEQUEL" bullshit, if they continue making it pure UBW route. |

| This episode was pretty good. Everything chugs along, and at the end we even get a tiny Shirou monologue, which felt well done. You'd figure this would be a place where the air would be generally positive, but the actual air over almost every discussion topic is incredibly negative. Never disappoint, MAL. |

Agafin said: No. There will be no asspulls. There are no asspulls in the material that will be covered this cour.So there'll be an asspull powerup next week? Nice job spoilerpriests |
|
| Well uh, I dunno for sure, but we may have to hope that people watched DEEN/stay night before this to prevent asspull cries. Just sayin', this might be bad, but not as bad as Fai is putting it. |
| And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible. |

Most of my complaints/concerns would have existed if they had spent probably a total of five minutes portraying or conveying certain scenes/information better than they did. But overall, this anime is still amazing. |
   |
| This isnt even a long running series with 300+ chapters/eps where it's obvious that the author drove himself to a corner and needs to add an asspull. We already know that Shirou tried other magecraft before and there is always spoiler to explain it.If they call next ep an asspull then that spoiler will look like an asspull as well. Dont forget that his healing abilities arent properly explained either. People bring doomsday for no god damn reason. |
JabonHR said: I don't care.Well uh, I dunno for sure, but we may have to hope that people watched DEEN/stay night before this to prevent asspull cries. Just sayin', this might be bad, but not as bad as Fai is putting it. This is why people should have just read Fate route at least like we've been saying for the past 5 months or so. |

y123y said: Because he's blond and not Japanese looking, like Saber (which was why Shirou didn't let her follow her as a non-transfer student foreigner just walking around would draw too much unwanted attention).Wait, how could Rin and Shirou they tell if *MYSTERIOUS BLOND MAN* was a foreigner? |

Do you not see how that can be lost on most people looking in at the forums when almost all they see out of these topics are wars and constant nitpicking which is presented as the WORST POSSIBLE THING, coupled with continual posting of comments from outside of these forums from people who clearly have no understanding and sometimes even outright hatred of the source material? |

Let's be honest, the problem with lack of foreshadowing this episode CAN Blossom out into MAJOR problems for the whole rest of the show considering what goes on and how much it is reliant on build up. Rin and Shirou dynamics is a major complaint on other hand because their relationship is what DRIVES this show and ufotable so far can't manage to capture Shirou's snark/trolling and tend to overblow Rin's tsun... THe fac that those are the ONLY complaints people are having should tell you a lot. |

I had SIX adaptations shit themselves this year alone (Vanadis, Grisaia, Sailor Moon Crystal, Tokyo Ghoul, Akame Ga Kill and one i can't remember right now). I have damn right to be suspicious of everything, especially with Miura in charge. |

RinArcher said: I am sure the only one exaggerating is Fai.I am pretty sure we're all over-exaggerating this one scene in here for the sake of discussion. I only mentioned it once but Fai is being Fai about the whole thing. Meh at least no one is trying to troll VN readers this week since we are doing that to each other already. Just like we do in spoiler threads. |

THe fac that those are the ONLY complaints people are having should tell you a lot. The current complaint, may be a problem. May. As in might. As in could be. I'm not convinced that it will be a MAJOR ISSUE. It has an explanation, the explanation is well done, and it connects to Shirou pretty well when you consider other things he's done. I doubt they will go the whole anime without explaining it in the slightest. As for your complaints on the Rin/Shirou relationship, if that's the way you see it, then that's too bad I guess. I'm liking their show dynamic. I know other people who are liking it too. I know people who aren't liking it either. It's great that those are the only complaints, but do you think perhaps you bringing the air of doom and gloom to every discussion topic and responding in such an overbearing way against anyone who disagrees with your current criticisms might be sending the wrong tone? |

| Good episode, but were some things i didnt like. the Issei Striptease, Rin miniskirt and Kirei part were awesome tho |

| So priests, mind fully spoilering your posts especially my quote? I already did. I'm sorry for triggering something, anime watcher. I'll reflect on it. |
| Fai before episode 9: Perfect adaption so far. Fai after episode 9: They forgot to add one scene about projection. This will be the flop of the year. |

These complaints I stated in Ep1 and Ep0 threads already, you can check. |
|
| That interrogation was hilarious! |
 |
| Yeah I can't find the room to care too much potential asspull perceptions, all capacity spent rejoicing in the presence of monologues and Shirou character probing. I'm more worried about how the exploration of Shirou's character will be executed than anything, and so far I feel like a lot of steps are being carefully taken to set up some really great second cour episodes. The slight flaws are popping up a bit more frequently, but just imagine the payoff we're going to get once things culminate.
