Fate/stay night Episode 7 Discussion thread

[Mr. Guy]

Not the same town, but relatively close

Looking forward to seeing the Servant of Eating do what she does best.

i would be very disappointed in this series if Sakura doesn't have a bigger role in FS/N. All these wierd little hints they drop with her dead eye look and smelling blood on Rin. And the fact that she stay over that night along with tiger at Shirou's place without having to call for permission form home you gotta wonder what type of familiy she has and havng shinji as her brother, how much does she know and how invole is she in the grail war.

Are we talking about "Angel" here? Periodic magic wars....that would explai some of the kooky things that happens here every once in a while.

That would explain the hollywood special effects and well LA in general.

When you add up all the little hints about Sakura they have drop so far, you realize that she is a more complex character then she seems. And when you add the cliche about the how the quiet ones are always the first to crack. I am getting strong boxcutter vibes form little Miss i smell blood.

The more i analyze Sakura, the more i convince she got Seed Mode and the more i am beginning to like her

Me too, but I doubt there'll be any "boxcutter moment" with Sakura. She just looks sane enough to realize her relationship with Shirou doesn't go that deep.

I agree she wouldn't have the same type of "boxcutter moment" kaede had. But I serious doubt She is anymore sane then kaede, all the signs point toward sakura having more pyschological problems then Kaede.

OK, now, this was somewhat bettah! 8)

Also, Tohsaka and Saber double-teamed Shiro.

Spoiler:

Just kidding. But they did both get on his case in terms of need for safety. Unfortunately, Shiro didn't really listen and in the end fell into the very same trap. It's almost by-the-numbers at this time

1) Shiro senses danger.
2) Shiro goes out alone.
3) Shiro gets ambushed.
4) Shiro gets his ass handed to him.

Fortuanately, this episode showed that Shiro actually considered the danger, as he obviously took a look at his tattoos, thinking about summoning Saber. But he didn't and predictably fell for Shinji's trick.

So, in the end, Shiro is still an idiot. But at least Studio Pierrot is not taking us, the viewers, for idiots and actually shows that Shiro does have common sense. He just chooses to forget about it when necessary. Last episode overlooked that part completely, simply disrespecting the audience.

All in all, I liked this episode mostly because it was more comedy than serious stuff and comedy always works around Rin. It was funny to watch Shiro constantly oggle Rin's ass when she was doing her magic.

Speaking of magic: the technical aspect this time looked a bit worse that usual (charadesigns looks sloppy and off-target at several scenes), but the animation of the magic parts was great. Liked that. The whole thing also looked amazingly blurry, but I think that was not the show's fault, if you know what I mean. 8)

So, the comedy the good and they learned the trick of intermingling funny lines during long and boring talks to make the episode livelier. Considering that there was only one long and boring dialogue this time, I think they did a good job.

Oh, and Saber eats... a LOT. And Taiga's reactions are hilarious as always.

Spoiler:

What I like about the Rin/Shiro teams is that there is no romance involved, despite what Sakura and Issei thought. Purely professional, which allows for better character interaction in my opinion. Brings the tsundere in Rin out, which made for several funny scenes.

Oh, and Rin shot Saber quite a foxy look when she visited Emiya residence. He-he. That alone makes the lack of Rin/Shiro romantic tensions so much more promising. 8)

So, I gave it an 8. Substandard drawing quality killed it a bit, but the comedy was good and pleasant to watch.

Uh... What does Studio Pierrot have to do with this show...?

I agree with your thoughts though. This episode is definitely an improvement over the last couple.

[MrProphet]

Woops, Studio DEEN, of course...

[KiNA]

I love how Rin had to go in the guy's toilet

She sure have some style in walking ^-^

I doubt he need to know.. he already know ^-^

[justinstrife]

More saber eating always a +.

Rin x Shirou moments were very kawaii ^_^ She definetly has some good feelings about him and it shows here(as does the conflict that brings between her and Sakura over Shirou as he tries to balance his new found harem).

Curious to see how Shirou deals with the fact that his 'friend' Shinji is a 'master' who is about ready to do some serious genocide on the school campus. Shinji was a bastard in the game, and he's a bastard in the anime.

But Rider = HAWT. She definetly deserves better.

I gave it an 8

[Pellissier]

Lol, if i just think that Fate/stay night had to be in my intentions my action break from my beloved comedies/romance .. the hell if it was ^^ , yet I'm watching another comedy

But the fact that the anime isn't how I imagined it doesn't mean I dislike it. Actually I like every sequence with Rin (I guess she's my favourite, after all) so this episode was quite funny, overall
Quite haremish at the beginning .. poor Shirou.. having three ultra-cute girls basically fighting for him ^^

So Shinji got Rider (although it was already clear, from previous episode), I personally hope Sakura will get her own servant too, or however a key role in the story because she's an interesting character - let alone her "Kaedeness" - and I don't want her to be out of the spotlights

As usual I'll wait a bit for my final rate, but it will very likely be a 7.

[KiNA]

She better have a servant as well

[Crimen Scythe]

I hope more of the servants get introduced soon...Caster, Assasin...etc.

[ordnance11]

I thought Issei's reaction to both Rin and Shirou being together as being priceless..

Ah..the troubles of a harem master..*snicker*

There were some good scenes..such as Shirou staring up at Rins's butt and the men's toilet scene.

[Shiroth]

Spoiler:

Assassin appears in episode 08.. yay! =D

And good episode all together.. though i can see Saber becoming very angry, maybe she's gonna think twice about her master?

[darkchibi07]

Definetely an enjoyable episode. I really like the BGM that was played when Rin and Shirou were running around destroying magical seals.
