| An alright episode. There were some parts I didn't like, like the changes to the Assassin battle and how pitifully short it was. Also the lack of Rin fighting against the curse was pretty lame. I do like the change with Ea. In the VN he casually uses it against Shirou, but it never made sense how he would use it against a mongrel, so having him use it against the grail was a pretty decent change and The music in this episode was actually really good. Set the mood really well. |

I thought it was an above average episode but people are seriously giving it a 2/10? Wow. This is the start of one of the most OMFG EPIC scenes in the VN.You yourself stated...it lacked ...something....people will be dissapointed as they really have high expectations for this one.. |

Eylandos said: KamiCity said: In the anime we can just say He was gaining skills from Archer, since saber even said he was reaching Archers level already while they were fighting. In the VN there is a different and better explanation, but you said your going to read it so i'll leave it at that for now. Well here is the thing, I get he gained skills with his fight with Archer but are you saying his powers rose to a level where he can trace on a dozen weapons at the same time? He never used it before and he not only projected the weapons but perfectly aimed them at Gil's opposing projections. He got Archer's memories/skills when he was fighting him, it was said in episode 20. And he got Rin's mana in episode 22 to use UBW like she said. If he plan to use Archer's ultimate power, him using swordrain isn't surprising. |

| @laidellent Honestly this anime will be a lot better if you watch the entire adaptation in one go. Everything will flow a lot better and you will be catching a lot of things you missed if you watch it weekly. When you watch a weekly episode, people will overanalyze every difference from LN and nitpick every small thing. @Guilek I understand how he got the power but I was just surprised he can pull it off and match him blow for blow. Thought it take at least another trace one to try to match him but it was still good regardless. |

| I don't get why so many people got mad. The original content wasn't that bad and Saber vs Assassin fight was great. Also, Fukasawa made me cum again. Can't wait for the 2nd OST disc. 4.5/5 Compared to the previous two episodes, this one is amazing. It's hard to believe Miura did the job this time. |
| My complaints about the episode: After talking about how Shirou would have taken care of Gilgamesh last week, they go with the Saber Vs Gil plan. Literally wtf. Gilgamesh spends minutes talking about things he already said in the other episodes. Rin goes through the mud like it's nothing, the grail doesn't even feel like a threat. She also stands around doing nothing after rescuing Shinji. There's literally no reason to care for the Saber Vs Assassin fight, since it doesn't really seem like Saber should be in a hurry to save anyone (it's hard to convey urgency when all the villain does is monologue about his evil plan). Those 2 characters have almost 0 relevance to the story/themes/whatever and the only thing left to do for saber is destroying the grail. The fight itself also sucked. Gil's laughs were teeeeeeerrible. |

| That episode was amazing. Gil smacking eva grail was cool. Assassin vs saber wasn't that epic and din't have much fighting but the TB bit was smooth which is more important. Yay on shirou finally doing sword rain. I hope they fix the CGI swords from episode 18 on the BDs. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| 30 sec. Saber vs. Assassin? Wth? Welp, i was pretty hyped for this. I am really dissapointed now. And is it me, or did they mix the events somehow..? I need to reread day 16 ubw... And lol @ Shirou's Sword-hameha. |

This was so underwhelming to watch but very exciting to read (VN). Basically, everything you feel after watching this is the exact opposite one felt when going through the actual story. Thus....the well rooted complaints. |

| One would probably think UBW is a bad series with so many people complaining, yet UBW is still one of the best anime this season. I think this episode didn't lack in quality in what it did show by any means. The thing it lacked was time. They decided to focus on Gilgamesh vs Shirou, so the battle between Assassin and Saber ended up being a little too short. Maybe Gil talked a bit too much at times, but I don't think that was bad - there was just not enough time for his talk and a longer fight against Assassin. So perhaps they could have managed the time spent on each scene slightly better, yeah. A 30-35 min episode would have been ideal, but that's not feasible. A 40 min episode? Probably too long. Even if they have released a handful to double length episodes, that's not something anybody can demand of Ufotable anyway. |
Shrimperor said: And lol @ Shirou's Sword-hameha. Well tbh at least UFO is staying consistent in portraying Shirou as Naruto-clone~ |
|
| VN reader summary: Almost everyone agrees that Saber vs Assassin could have been bette (or at least longer), while the other content is "hype vs salt round 2" it seems. |

black1blade said: I think they only had extra scene for the blu ray for the first 3 episodes they showed as promotional stuff. This episode was great though, miura doing his good directing. According to my calculations, if we do NOT get a double length episode anymore, then there is a surplus of 30 minutes between TV airing and BD runtime. It's too short to be "OST runtime" again, so it's most likely real content this time. |

The poll is positive here, the show is in the top 100. 5 out of 5: Loved it!: 42 54.55% 4 out of 5: Liked it: 12 15.58% 3 out of 5: It was OK: 9 11.69% The vocal minority is loud with popular thing, it could be way way worse Arslan Seiki is ranked 1000 something. But anyways, the poll, the rank don't matter, what matters it is if you like personally. |

It's too short to be "OST runtime" again, so it's most likely real content this time. That would be good. Saber vs assassin just had to be a few exchanges of blows. A bit like how KNK7 had 4 or so cuts of the knife fighting, saber vs koijiro could have been 1 worth's of those. |

Shrimperor said: Non-existant Saber vs. Assassin aside, didn'T they also rush to much (again)? Not really. It is quite different from the VN but I thought it was done pretty well. I hope they show some of the curses effecting rin next episode (as her gem wears off) |

Shrimperor said: Non-existant Saber vs. Assassin aside, didn'T they also rush to much (again)? Yeah. Last episodes were rushed as hell, including answer, which shows piss poor time management. |

One coudl think that Saber REKT Kojiro so hard that she broke his sword. Especially since they showed it broken after he actually performs Tsubame Gaeshi |
