Today's Menu for the Emiya Family

First off, a few words on this show'due south release – it looks like new episodes will be appearing one time a month for about a yr. This lets the show talk well-nigh food on a seasonal footing (it looks like fourth dimension in-show has been progressing at the same rate as real life) and as well explains the four weeks between this writeup and the last one. Now I didn't know about this release schedule until a picayune while ago, so I naturally assumed that they'd cancelled production upon realizing that they couldn't top Cu Chulainn's appearance in the second episode. It's an easy error to make.
In accordance with its March release, this episode is themed around Girls' Day or hinamatsuri, a Japanese holiday dedicated to young girls. It shows upwardly sometimes in anime, and you might recognize it as that affair where people gear up tiered displays of dolls in their houses. Taking place on March 3rd, households tend to throw their trivial girls parties on that day, serving special dishes like chirashizushi. Also called "scattered sushi," chirashizushi seems to be a deconstructed dish of sushi ingredients that can be served in the shape of a cake. I don't actually like sushi myself, so I'm not sure that I'd go for this, but it seems similar a not bad entree for celebrations.
The funny thing nearly this entire situation is that I'thousand pretty certain Illyasviel is in fact older than Shirou. While her growth is permanently stunted due to beingness a homunculus, she was 8 years old during the events of Fate/Nil, which ways that she'd be xviii by Fate/stay nighttime. Shirou is simply 17 at that point, which ways that Ilya is actually the elder sibling. I assume that she acts like a child due to existence raised like a princess by crazy sorcerer hermits who were planning to harvest her flesh for the Grail after on and other blah blah blah magic stuff. I wish that the show had pointed out the age discrepancy, though – it'd have made for a good gag.
Otherwise, the character interactions in this episode were entertaining, and it was overnice to come across Ilya – who went through so much hardship in Fate'southward storyline – feel a happy moment surrounded past people who dear her. Otherwise, this marks the first glimpse nosotros've gotten of Fate's other two heroines, Rin and Sakura, who've been conspicuously missing from the show thus far. It was overnice to see them happy too, and I await forwards to when they get their own spotlight episodes. Rin and Sakura seem to be getting to know each other as sisters (they fifty-fifty refer to each other that way, which is a major development), while Sakura and Medusa live as companions. This is really the idealized happy catastrophe that these characters never got together, non even in Fate/stay nighttime's lighthearted sequel story, Fate/hollow ataraxia.
The 1 thing I didn't like was Rin acting tsundere in a dumb, unnecessary way. Seriously, don't human action like you're also skilful to throw a little kid (or grown adult who you lot call up is a kid) a party. Saber, meanwhile, continues to exist charmingly dead weight in all things culinary. Overall, Today'south Carte du jour for the Emiya Family unit remains an exceedingly pleasant slice-of-life, and I look forrard to what April brings us.
Grade: B+
