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.

I didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed with this anime. Fate/ Stay Night was in my opinion rather cliche and since this is the supposed sequel to Fate/ Zero it spoils quite a lot of what one would expect out of its sequel. At least more character development was expected for this one. To be honest Fate/ Zero seems to have more of that attractive complication than Fate/ Stay Night does. This is more like an anime of teenagers playing with rather dangerous toys. The suspense is thrilling however I will give it that, the story itself is not all that bad but an anime like this would have done better without the silly romance and sexual innuendos - it seemed far to forced to begin with. I suggest that if you want to enjoy Fate/ Zero to its fullest then don't watch Fate / Stay Night first however if you feel you do want to spoil it for yourself then you may watch this BUT you will be all the more disappointed for it. 4/5 stars simply because the animation and story was rather good however the dialogue left a lot to be desired.
