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.

To start things off,i will say that i enjoyed this anime and leaving nice feeling after watching it.It will be one of my favorite of all time anime.It is wonderfully done anime but have some hiccups which prevents it becoming a masterpiece.But in the end it will still be a enjoyable anime.

Firstly Story,To be honest,i expect a deeper complicity of the story as there are great spaces to develop ,although it did not meet my expectation but i still like the story because the story actually makes you be absorb into the anime pretty nicely and be "dissolve" into it,you will feel a urge to continue watching it.But i do have to say it is a slow starting kind.when i truly "dissolve" into this anime was at episode 10.Before episode 10 is kinda like those typical type,enemy come,problem come,solve problem.But after episode 10 things get better and better.Before episode 10 things are hazy for me i cannot really understand the anime well but i assure you after episode 10 things should be better in any aspect,but strangely at episode 2 i accurately predicted somethings about the anime which is about emiya's father past and the father of the Church.
Even though this is a action anime but it will not be like those normal kind of anime that are purely filled with action and high level of intensity but this anime do something more than that.This anime level of intensity does not push you to your edge of chair but you will be concentrated and feeling comfortable at your seat.There are also romance in this anime which makes it more nicer and not purely action.There is some kind of moral of story inside but i do not feel that it is delivered clearly though and it is quite too idealistic .
In the final episode author end it in a good note making things beautiful and nice.I do not know how is the game's story since i have not started playing it but i got great hopes for it .

Secondly dialogue, i do think it is done nicely but it can get quite confusing as well,because they have quite a number of deep dialogue which requires you to think further.i think i need to rewatch the anime to understand it better too.But the dialogue can be intriguing which makes you think about why the character feels that way.

Thirdly animation,i absolutely like its animation,swift and smooth fighting,nice drawing,the fighting is one of my reason why i like this anime,they are really nicely done.Well this category is suppose to be the main star after all right?

Lastly entertainment,well in this anime there are some funny things to see,llya and sensei they action can be funny,well i kinda laugh at gilgamesh too after you watch to that part you will know what i mean ;) but it is really a small part of this anime,so do not expect much.But entertainment also means do you have fun/enjoy the anime,well i guess i do,as it have almost everything.Nice story and great animation and its music really fits the atmosphere it created which help you dissolve into the anime.Nicely done in overall.

I do say there are some hiccup in this anime,these hiccup really makes a different i think,firstly,story and dialogue can be confusing and deep which will make you lost track of what is happening and what are they trying to say.Secondly,Those servant are hero from the past,which will be exciting to the their ultimate strike or power but their past information are not really given which makes it like,who is this hero? which means it will fail terribly for excitement,lastly,and i think is the most fatal disadvantage,this anime lack of a strong point or you may say "chemistry"although it has almost every,romance,nice story,animation,character development,idea,etc.But i cannot seems to find something i truly love about this anime,some may say story i do find that it is done nicely but it has not fully maximize its fullest potential,somehow i feel that the game's story will do a greater job than anime,i really looking forward to it.

Oh well in conclusion,It is a WONDERFUL anime because it has almost every essence and all are done nicely and i can feel the efforts spent in this anime because of its well layout of story but there are some hiccup preventing it from becoming a masterpiece.So much things to say but in the end my final word will be,watch it and you will most likely not regret it.
