Major Spoilers Ahead, proceed with care or risk decapitation.
Finally continued watching Fate/stay Night, currently on ep12. The only real reason I picked this up again was (a) lack of anime and (b) a friend had conveniently burned most of the eps I lacked onto CD. Oh and (c) time to kill, mid-term holidays started last Friday and I've been taking a break from school. Finished Sousei no Aquarion and Gunparade March too, will blog on those later.
This was one of the better episodes I've seen of fate so far. Shirou's blushes every time Saber looked at him just made my day. Oh mustn't forget the whole "Shirou, you can sleep on my lap if you want". You could almost see Shirou's mind going through "Yes! Maybe I should." and "No, how could I?!" on repeat. The battle at the end was simply spectacular even though the horse (Pegasus?) did not seem to be too happy at its involvement. Fanservice ran rampant through the whole episode, not limited to shots of Rider's butt, which wasn't bad :P.
At the end Sakura mumbles something, I missed it the first time I watched but the second time I watch the scene, she seemed to be saying "Ex-ca-libur". Weird. How would she know? Whoo…possible (and extremely far-fetched) theory:
Sakura is a Master too! (I wonder who her Servant will be? Some sort of magic user perhaps? I really don't see her having a melee-type Slave.)
And screencaps follow.
Saber leans on Shirou..
..and typically Shirou blushes.
C'mon Shirou, is it that hard to say 'ok'?
Looks like someone got off the wrong side of bed.
