Summary:
* Based on Urobuchi Gen and Type-Moon's Fate/Zero novel
The Holy Grail War - A death-match between 7 magi (Masters) and their summoned heroic spirits (Servants) in which the prize is the legendary Holy Grail, said to have the power to grant miracles.
This is now the 4th Holy Grail War. The 3 preceding Wars had ended without a victor. In pursuit of their individual goals and ambitions, the magi congregate at a place called Fuyuki. All the magi will do anything, rationalize away any atrocity, in pursuit of the Holy Grail.
All of them, but one...
Kotomine Kirei is a mage, but one without a reason to fight. Unable to release himself from the threads of fate, he is drawn reluctantly into this War.
However, as fate would have it, one of his rival Masters turns out to be an old enemy, Emiya Kiritsugu, a man more severe and merciless than anyone else. A man who desires the miracles offered by the Holy Grail...

This anime is extremely well made. It has me glued to the screen the whole way through. I love every ounce of it. Episode 2 I found quite crazy, I think it was episode 2 or 3. Anyway. Yeah I found either one of those quite crazy, won't give you spoilers. But you'll understand what I'm talking about if you watch this, which you will. >.> Or else. I'll eat you. But seriously 5 stars. I just hope it doesn't get shit on the way through. I also haven't seen Fate Stay Night, I think it's called. But my friend says this kicks FSN's ass. So yeah. I enjoy this, already in my top 10 favourite Animes. You'll be missing out if you don't watch this.
Holy Grail based stuff are always going to be epic. I just love it!
