5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite action animes, October 1, 2010

This review is from: Fate Stay Night (Viridian Collection) (DVD)

I'm an equal opportunity anime watcher kind of gal, and I watch both shojo and shonen anime. I'm also fond of history and mythology. So when an anime combined the two, it was, in a word, brilliant.

Fate/Stay Night is about Shirou Emiya, a naive high school boy with an odd power to intuitively determine the structure of objects and has a dream to become a Hero of Justice and save everyone. He accidently gets roped into a magical battle royale called the Holy Grail Wars in which seven Servants, historical or mythological figures from the past, are magically summoned by magi, given form, and must fight each other to obtain the legendary Holy Grail. Along the way, Shirou falls in love with his Servant, Saber, and must make difficult decisions about his own future, Saber's, and the world's as he and Saber fight to obtain the Holy Grail and thus end the war.

The big joy of this series when you first watch it is playing the guessing game of the identity of each of the Servants (and some are not who you think they are!). The action scenes can be short at times, but what they lack in time they make up in blood (oh there is blood abound). The relationship between Shirou and Saber, while short (only about a couple of weeks) feels natural and sweet and awkward at times, but this aspect of the story makes you care much more about the two of them and the ultimate fate they must face.

An ingenious idea, Fate/Stay Night is definitely for those who like anime and mythology stirred together. It is definitely one of my favorite animes of all time.

This was a good, fun anime.

Great story, amazing animation (some of the best I've seen in recent years), and good comedy.

One thing that is interesting to note is one of the most ironic modern anime tsundere characters, Rin Tohsaka is in this show, so if you're an anime fan and don't know who she is yet, then you need to watch this. And if you don't know that tsundere means, google it.

a bit slow paced but some nice battle towards the second half of the series. some nice character development. for those more interested in character then fighting.
