Currently watching Fate/Stay Night for the first time (lol, guess I'm really slow). I was distressed after watching this episode. Regarding the bathing scene, how could Shirou not say any words of comfort to Saber~!!! Clearly she seemed on the verge of tears about her body uncomparable to Rin and too muscular and the like. I just wished Shirou would have told her body is beautiful (my opinion) or at least all right, instead of just walking out, like passively agreeing with Saber's (wrong) view. Shirou is really a bastard for this lol.

Welcome on AnimeSuki.

I think Shirou is just shy.

Great episode again. I laughed at the scene with Llya in the bed. Yeah shyness is a given for Shirou but still, say something to her, she has a great body. at least what we've been shown of it.

Also I think it's a drawback for watching subs, that I'm mostly focused on reading the words that fine details of a scene might be overlooked, like picking out moments of poor animation and like.

also something I noticed is it a coincidence that all the masters have servents of the opposite gender, or is that some kind of rule?

Coincidence.

Spoiler for Fate:

During the 4th and 5th grail wars, servants get summoned or bound to masters of the same gender more often than not.

Lord El Melloi gets a Male Lancer
Tokiomi Tohsaka gets a Male Archer
Kotomine gets a Male Assassin (sort of)
Kariya Matou gets a Male Berzerker
Weaver Velvet gets a Male Rider
Ryuunosuke gets a Male Caster

I was starting to wonder about that, so good to know it's a coincidence, also this episode was pretty good, though one seemed a bit inconsistent:

Spoiler for math fails:

If Berserker had 12 lives and Archer killed him 5 times, and Rin killed him once then shouldn't he only have 6 lives left, not 7 left like Ilya was saying?

Then again she looks like an elementary school kid, so maybe she's bad a counting?

1) Ilya, not Llya
2) The anime was bad at math (among other things). If I recall, the game was not bad a math.

Oops my mistake on her name, and ah so was just something messed with the lines in the anime then?

Spoiler for HF, Rider, anime ending:

You also forgot Rider's true master, Sakura. Oh, and True Assassin, who was a male servant with a male master (Zouken). Also, Kuzuki isn't Caster's original master, although IIRC her original master was male anyway. You also forgot Kotomine and his two servants Gil and Lancer (although Lancer's original master was female, so...).

Sleeping with the enemy, huh? Ok, technically she's harmless right now, but...

It just looked extremely wrong, lol. And Saber doesn't like it either!
