Main Description

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.

Personal Opinions

Moeru

Fate Stay Night TV manages to hit most of the major plot points and cut out the gratitous sex from the original visual novel but seems to just fall flat. Emiya ends up looking even more stupid than he normally does in the visual novel. The voices are good and animation is good in places but it just doesn't invoke the same feelings as the visual novel did. If you want to see some fights animated, this is a good place to go though.
