Summary:
Shirou Emiya lost his parents in a fire when he was young and was later adopted by a sorceror by the name of Kiritsugu Emiya. Although he was full of admiration for his adopted father and yearns to become an ally of justice, Shirou has limited powers and was unable to become a strong sorceror like his father. That is until one fateful day, he was drawn into the Holy Grail War and had to summon a female "Servant" known as Saber in order to protect himself. It turns out that the Holy Grail War involves a series of battles among powerful sorcerors to fight for the possession of a relic that will grant one's wishes, the Holy Grail. There are altogether seven "Masters" who can summon their respective "Servants" from different classes known as Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Caster and Assasin. These "Servants" have to hide their names in order not to reveal their weaknesses to the enemies. The story revolves around Shirou and his entanglement in the Holy Grail War.
Two words Capcom and Type moon (enough said)
An underrated signature masterpiece you don't see everyday
enough said but I'll say more =)
It is fairly old but in my opinion, this was arguably THE best and most underrated anime out there at the time
and it still manages to significantly outclass many of those painstakingly long anime like bleach, one piece, gintama etc...etc.... (i didnt say naruto but i was tempted to LoL. If this ever hit the ps4 I'd buy it immediately )
....This got me into the whole anime scene actually. It's the first real anime i've ever seen. I watched this anime twice (once in english & once in japanese). I bought the ps2 release (unlimited codes) after watching
FSN followed by the F-ZERO arcs ....NB ...Please Ignore the Fate Kaleid anime arc...it is an UNRELATED parody so i don't recommend it. It may ruin the series' reputation if anything LoL. I haven't watched Kaleid and never will haha.
I am just writing this review to credit Type moon for introducing me to the anime scene and setting an insane standard of what anime should be like in the future.
Believe it or not the Fate Stay night intro; is itself, a sequel, which was released first without confirmation of a Fate Zero Arc. That being said, you may proceed to watch the prequel arc ( Fate zero) spanning 25 episodes AFTER you're done with the Fate Stay Night Arc.
So basically the watching order is [Fate Stay Night] >>> [Fate Zero] >>> Other Related(optional)
It may be old but still very much in the game
NOT for kids or anyone looking for the comedy/ecchi genre haha.
(I definitely wouldn't recommend this to young children though :p )
Other related :: shingetsutan tsukihime / kara no kyoukai (those are the next best thing after you watch this)
