Now the biggest question is if UFO table will give us the DOLPHINS or not

They keep giving us mixed signals. Dolphins were in the first cour prologue and ending, and... not dolphins in this cour's ending.


Maybe they changed their mind half-way.

Yup, pretty much. He enjoys her struggle to get her goal. And, like, in his life time, he only knew women who longed for him.




I wonder what scenes they'll expand on with those five minutes. Glad they nailed Lancer this episode.


I mean the ones part of his harem.
Like, the ones in his time would be too scared to defy him.
Saber, however, whether in his time or not, wouldn't give a damn ~.~

And I frankly don't care enough to change the post :I

Is implied sex allowed in a TV series at this time slot and channel in Japan?

Dunno... there have been quite a few which had implied or even actual "safe-for-work" sex scenes, don't know if it' the same channel and/or same timeslot, but seriously I think there are not much better times than midnight...

The flashback itself was too tame.

We got Children turning into gatorade, Illya chewed by wolves, Meidos being slaughtered, etc, but when it comes to canon material this was very tame.

We literally see nothing beyond fire, few obscured corpses and few alive people.

Nice to hear Shirou talk about his past.
Lancer is awesome, i'm hype for his fight.
I liked too the talk between Archer and Kuzuki

With subs this episode is even more worthless.

Anime Shirou's distortion is literally Generic Shonen Hero Tragic Backstory with none of actually psychological stuff there. "He does not want the tragedy to repeat" that's literally all in here lol.

And The anime Original material was outright pointless chatter that is sure to make people misunderstand Caster's wish.

I don't remember Archer talking to Kuzuki from the VN. Didn't he talk with Caster instead?

Also the animation quality took a little dive for this episode. Understandable since the animation in last ep was good and it's gonna be awesome next week too.

5/5. Not gonna take away a point for the animation. It was suitable for talky ep.

Great to see Lancer again! Didn't quite expect him to offer his help to the OTP though..
Shirou being protective over Rin was pretty funny and cute, especially them Rin's blushes. So adorable. :3

Good episode. Can't wait for Archer vs. Lancer and Shiou & Rin vs. Caster!

Caster talk was cut for bds in Ep14 that was an anime original.

Forgetfulness said:

I liked the distortion bit. At least they have it all explained out explicitly so if people still aren't understanding that part of Shirou, we can conclusively say that it's because they're stupid and not because the show is being too vague about it


They did not?

The show explanation is literally "I felt guilt of unable to save anyone so I decided to get strong like father so if something happens like that again I will save everyone". That's it. There's NO indication at all of how the fire fucked his mind. Just typical shonen hero backstory.

I covered that in "I was unable to save anyone".
That flashback make sit look like SHirou's problem is nothing more than a typical generic survivor's guilt that every recent shonen protag suffers from.

Answer is not expanding. It is concluding. It is the conclusion of SHirou's viewpoint evolution. It is completely worthless without the actual evolution and build up.

Lancer, plz. Be careful with that E luck, you magnificient fuck.

So can they manage to pull it out of that situation without too much damage? I mean, of course they'll survive, there is still 8 episodes left, but will they all makes it out alive? Will Shirou lose an arm and a leg, then become an alchemist?

So Blondie identity is revealed. One would think that Gilgamesh would look a bit more like this, but apparently, he's a hot blond. Well, gotta please the ladies somehow (and now just the ladies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ).

Pfffiou, thank god Ufotable used that option within Tohsaka/Shirou/Lancer discussion. Shirou is already taking the lead in the couple, poor Tohsaka x)
Also, Lancer reactions are priceless.

Shinji doing what is the best he can do : being a useless piece of shit.

Lancer and Archer rematch is gonna be so awesome. There have also been that pendant revealation. You can take the oncoming week to ponder on that.

Y u doin dis to ma loli, ufotable?! This is loli abuse! Where is the police when we need them??!

It ended exactly where expected. Overall it was a good episode, although I thought that Tohsaka threatening Shinji and Gilgamesh giving up happened a bit too fast. Otherwise, I enjoyed the original scene and the pacing was good, comedic moments were funny as well. It's just about as good as I could possibly expect considering the source material and the amount of time they had allocated.

The next episode is going to be awesome~!

e: sigh, people complaining about animation in an episode without action... priorities

Slower episode this week. Shirou's face was creepy as hell. I guess him living the other people there is his problem. I would have thought him waking up to hell on earth would be the cause, but guess I was wrong.

The Rin-teasing was great. So I can amuse they low key going out now. Seems like the fight with Caster is slowly approaching. Will I get to see Saber Alter.... Probably not, but hope to see her soon.

Gligamesh is so op with the basement full of NP. Lol at this guy walking away with the heart like it anit shit.

Agreed. It is a key moment for Shirou's characterization and that and staredown lasted for what? 15 seconds?

Most of historical figures the servants are in nasuverse have backstories ALMOST NOTHING like their "real world" myths(Caster being the best example of that, which is why it makes no sense them removing her backstory).

Gil lived a very different life from the one in the mythos and it shows in his appearance.

Well that's true, the surgery scene was pretty underwhelming overall.

It feels like a waste not to reproduce that CG but it didn't really matter to me.

VN Readers will.
Anime Onlies have absolutely no reason to believe there's something more in his character than what is shown.

Shirou is way too complex of a character to GET with small "easter eggs" like that. It is something you do for a side character, but not the actual CENTERPIECE of the story.

IT is ironic too because in same episode we get anime original characterization for Kuizuki and Archer of all people...
