Reaction shot: Today's Menu for the Emiya Family episode 7 (or, SOMEONE PLEASE RESCUE SHIROU)

[spindizzy]

• Oh it's THIS episode, where all of my whining about Archer not being in the show FINALLY PAYS OFF.


• ... Rin, are you just reading the brochure to everyone because you don't know how to cope with being excited? Because that's adorable.


• Shirou, who can see everything she's describing: ... Thanks Tohsaka.


• ... Saber's first go on a waterslide, omg! And she's so excited!


• Shirou: *gets crashed into at high speeds*


• Saber: *plans out her waterslides like a military campaign*


• Awww, somehow I'm completely unsurprised that Taiga double-booked herself.


• They're having so much fun, bless them, and Rin is THE MOST excited!


• ... How many slides do they HAVE?!


• She's still got her ribbons in! I only just noticed! Bold choice, really.


• "I always do what I'm supposed to do, so you'd better believe I'm gonna have fun at full blast!" BLESS HER FOR BEING SECRETLY EXCITABLE ABOUT EVERYTHING!


• OMG, Rider is here too! Is Sakura co-incidentally here too?


• ... She comes to the waterpark a lot... To get exercise...?


• Rin is SO HYPE for volleyball, apparently? Although I don't know why you'd play volleyball when you're at a waterpark.


• OH NO, EVERYONE IS TOO COMPETITIVE FOR THIS.


• ... OMG, IT'S LANCER AND ARCHER!!! *excited squeaking!* I don't know why they're here! I don't know why they're both wearing their regular clothes! But also: omg!


• "I've seen those hulking guys somewhere before. What are they doing here?" KICKING YOUR ARSE. Also wow, way to refer to people you know by title/name as "those hulking guys." (I think he maybe took too many hits to the head.)


• Pffffft the background music is someone's battle theme, omg!


• "You'd be dissing your opponent if you pulled your punches." REALLY ARCHER. IS THAT ALL THIS IS.


• MAYBE THEY SHOULD TAG SHIROU OUT, JUST SAYING.


• Oh no, they are all too competitive for this, I don't know if I dare watch!


• "Oh, looks like Saber's motivated."
  "Wouldn't have it any other way."
  You do know she's contracted to the protagonist, right, and that gives her extra leeway?


• USING YOUR SERVANT POWERS IS FUCKING CHEATING AND YOU ALL KNOW IT. Although it DOES look cool as hell.


• "Damn, I missed." ARCHER, MURDER IS BAD.


• ... Yeah, ALL OF YOU are too competitive for this, maybe Shirou should just run away.


• They're all so cute, bless them!


• Being so tired that you have no appetite is a state I know well, sigh.


• I love the deflating sound effects that happen every time Rin relaxes, those are cute.


• I do think that this show kinda needs one of those scenes from cooking shows where it shows you everything you'll need up front, because this always seems to miss things from the initial line-up.


• I like that he just understands that he and Saber will need ADDITIONAL FOOD, because I can respect that.


• ? Where did they run off to?


• Awww, they're relaxing on the porch with the barley tea, that's so peaceful.


• Does Rin have her own designated bowl in this house, because if she does that's adorable.


• ... RIN. Asking for a massage is a bit... Forward, isn't it? And Shirou just rolling with it!


• ... I'm distracted from my headshaking over teenagers by the fact that their wind chime IS A FISH BOWL, I love it????


• Thing I just noticed in the credits: Sakura putting a scarf on Rider, omg! Also, Shinji doesn't get to be in the end credit line-up, HA.


• RECIPE: First, you slice some Japanese ginger and carrot as finely as possible. Then, you debone the salmon and shred the flesh. Squeeze some cucumbers you've soaked in salt water. Rinse them off under water. Then, lightly squeeze out the water. Serve with cold rice; you pour cold broth or tea over the cold rice, and use everything else as bonus to the rice. Can also be served with salted kelp and sesame miso.
