I loved it. This is one of the better story lines/ fight scenes i've seen.

If you love fighting with magic then this is a series for you.

This was a great purchase. I'd suggest this series to just about anyone. It is out of production so it is difficult to find now, but the price here was unbeatable.

Archer battles Beserker using all his awsome abilities, again and again Beserker rises from searing explosions and fountains of blood, each time Archer gets more beaten,blooder and weaker from Beserker's sledgehammer blows. As they fight Archer chants;

I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body,and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to Death
Nor known to Life
The mind bores through the Mountain
The sword divides the River
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I Pray, UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS

In a roar of flame the castle disapears and they find themselves on a endless blasted plain.
Uncountable swords of every discription are stuck in the ground all around like gravemarkers streaching off into the distance.
A fog of smoke floats by and sparks drift down like snowflakes.
Overhead in the sullen, overcast sky, gigantic rusty gears turn painfully.
This is Archer's final stand.

WELL THE GRAIL WARS HAVE TAKEN THEIR FIRST CASUALTY....RIDER. BUT THE RESULTS IS THAT SABER IS HANGING ON BY A THREAD BY USING HER NOBLE PHANTASAM, HER MANA NEARLY COMPLETELY GONE. AS SHE TRIES TO RECOVER, REN AND ARCHER TRY TO CONVINCE SHIRO TO HAVE HER ATTACK NORMAL PEOPLE TO REGAIN HER STRENGTH, WHICH HE ADAMANTALY REFUSES TO DO. AT SABER'S BEDSIDE, SHIIRO GETS A GLIMPSE INTO SABER'S MIND AND DISCOVERS HER TRUE IDENTITY (WHICH I WILL NOT SPOIL FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO FIND OUT). THEN HE GET CAPTURES BY ILYA, BERSERKER'S MASTER, LEADING REN, ARCHER AND A WORRIED AND EXHAUSTED SABER TO ILYA MANSION ON A RESCUE MISSION. TO STALL FOR TIME, ARCHER REMAINS BEHIND TO TAKE ON THE BRUTAL HERCULES WHILE THE REST TRY TO ESCAPE, WHICH OF COURSE HE LEARNS WHAT BERSERKER'S WEAKNESS IS. AFTER ARCHER FALLS, REN PROPOSES A TACTIC TO TRANSFER SOME OF SHIIRO'S MANA CIRCUTS TO SABER TO HAVE HER REPLENISH HER MANA ON HER OWN IN A MOST INTERESTING AND COMPROMISING RITUAL. THEN THE TRIO MUST FACE DOWN A ANGRY BERSERKER, WHERE SHIIRO FINALLY STARTS TO USE HIS MAGIC IN A WAY NEVER REALLY BEFORE TRIED, AND CREATES SABER'S NOBLE PHANTASM. MEANWHILE THE REMAINING MASTERS (CASTER, ASSASSIN, AND LANCER) COME UP WITH A WAY TO CHEAT AND CAPTURE THE GRAIL BEFORE THE WAR IS OVER.....AND SHIIRO'S CHILDHOOD FRIEND IS THE KEY.

THE STORY HAS STARTED ITS RUN TO THE EXPLOSIVE CONCLUSION. IT HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED YET AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE END (ESPECIALLY SINCE SABER IS STARTING TO HAVE FEELINGS FOR SHIIRO). UNTIL NEXT TIME.....
