This scene was godlike. They really nailed it.



I had almost no complains aside from the fact that Doctor Gilgamesh wasn't nearly as funny here as in the DEEN version, but otherwise the chapter was really good. Waiting warmly for Lancer vs Archer next week.

Really really disappointed by surgery. It was nothing. No emotional impact whatsoever. I can't believe I'm saying this but Deen did it better than Ufo.
Well the difference is that one is a movie and one is a TV series. Also is it really that important?
Even though I didn't feel much for illya when she died, it was still quite a shocking moment. Deen at least did justice to that aspect. Here it just happens casually. Its a missed opportunity.

Lancer should have taken a seat and some popcorn, enjoying that scuffle between Rin and Emiya some more.

She's already dead at the time, unlike with Deen's version(which is incorrect).

And the best character of the show has finally returned again, can't wait to see him fight against Archer in the next episode.

Other than Dr Gilgamesh, it was a decent episode, although a rushed one. Distortion was okayish. I'm personally excited for the rematch since their first fight was the best of the show. 3.5/5

It does not matter if she is alive or dead. It is still a shocking brutal moment that shakes SHirou to his very Core.

Quick thoughts before I head off to work....

24 minutes on record, thumbs up

Great episode overall, Shirou has his priorities straight. (That scene is everything I hoped it would be) Lancer's a bro, 10/10 would fistbump. Can't wait for fight next week.



Edit: and yes I'm a visual novel player, so there you go.
I'll change this as soon as I think of something clever.

5/5 for well adapted Lancer scenes and awesome Lancer faces.

4/5 when I'm sober in the morning

Then 5/5 again when I start making Lancer Gifs sometime in the afternoon.

I think in this case, its that archer gave up the master Cu said he would have preferred to have instead of his own right now. Hence Grass is always greener on other side of fence.

I didn't rewatch the episode but if i'm not wrong:
Lancer said + or - that he would have like having Rin as master then Archer said the expression because Lancer is thinking that Rin is perfect as a Master from his outside point of view.

This was the best and most important episode so far, so much development.
Gil picking up the lesser Grail, glad they didn't omit the heart surgery scene.
We get to know more about Shirou and his ideal in this route "even if I can't save them, I'm gonna try anyway"
True end is set in stone with the Lancer Rin scene, not that anyone expected otherwise.
More hints as to Archer's identity and agenda.
I liked the filler with Kuzuki, more development for him as well
Archer vs Lancer round 2 go.

Didn't miss anything from the VN.
Shirou PTSD expression was good addition.
Archer + Kuzuki conversation was a nice addition as well.
This ep was better than the same part of the VN in my opinion.

No scene with the best girl is filler.
The reason this ep isn't getting 5/5 from everyone is because Saber didn't have any screen time this week. People try to come up with other reasons but they know this deep inside.

Lancer is actually really cool I don't know where he stands against Archer but they should have a good fight

The Shirou and Rin scene was so cute it's amazing how this anime can still make me laugh after gut wrenching me last episode with Illyas death

Hopefully Saber will appear next episode

Looks like Rin might be figuring out who Archer is I can't wait for the next episode

I was expecting a fountain of blood flowing out of Illya like in the Deen version (jk) or at the very least for him to do the surgery while she was still alive.

They didn't even emphasize on that scene, like it was no big deal. I demand BD fixes of this.

The scene takes place when the climax is already over and Illya is already dead. Then Gil does his business like he's brushing his teeth or something completely irrelevant and that's it. After what happened last episode, that was bound to happen. I won't say her death didn't look good in ep 3, but it turned one of the most shocking scenes in F/SN into crap. Disappointing.

I am okay with Your Distortion, since I wasn't expecting as much as it included. Definitely a step in the right direction, I just hope they give even more focus to this when the time comes. Also teased Rin/10, that scene was perfect.

A godlike episode to redeem the show from the garbage that was last week's battle.
Lancer makes every scene instantly better, but even just the Rin x Shirou moments were adorable.
The scene between Archer and Kuzuki could have gotten its point across better, and faster.
A lot of gorgeous scenery porn, but some of the characters' faces were even more derpy than usual.
Next week I'll probably scream like a little girl for most of the episode.
