Fate/stay night - 2: Night of Fate

Title:Fate/stay night
Episode:2: Night of Fate
Synopsis
Shirou is working at the Archery club late at night after being conned by his best friend Shinji Matou to clean it up. What he doesn't know is that Archer and a servant Lancer are fighting outside (With Rin nearby). Shirou goes out to investigate and Lancer sees him. Lancer immediately breaks off the fight and goes after Shirou stabbing him in the heart and killing him (Damn the main character bites it fast!). Lancer takes off and Archer goes off in pursuit.

Here we learn that the 7 Warriors are great warriors of the past. They are summoned here just for the purpose of fighting this war. Archer (which is a class but he uses sabers) cannot remember who he was in life. He blames Rin for her imperfect summoning.

Rin goes to the body thinking about how during this war some people are going to get killed. Too sad. Until she finds out it is Shirou. She goes 'Oh no! Anyone but him' (I guess she likes him?) She pulls out a jewel that her father gave her 10 years ago and casts a spell (remember she is a magician) and brings Shirou back to life. She flees leaving the jewel behind. Shirou wakes up in a pool of blood and wonders who saved him, he heads home.

Archer is telling Rin about how she wasted her jewel. She replies she has lots of jewels. Archer points out that it was wasted because Lancer is just going to kill Shirou again. She and Archer fly off to Shirou's house to stop Lancer.

Too late, Lancer is at Shirou's house. Shirou powers up a steel rod that Fuji-nee left and tries to defend himself but Lancer is too powerful. Lancer knocks him into a building that Shirou uses to fix stuff. As Lancer prepares the fatal blow (again) Shirou's left hand starts glowing and behind him a magic circle forms (Like the one Rin used on Archer). A girl shoots out of the circle and with a giant sword (The one Shirou has been dreaming about) kicks Lancers ass and he runs off. She turns to Shirou (who's entranced by her beauty) and says 'I'm Saber, are you my master?'

What a nice episode. Battles, Girls, Possible Romance, baka friends. It has it all. And saber at the end but if she isn't going to let her hair down I can't see if she is that good looking. Rin is better IMHO.
