Synopsis

The story is mainly about how Shiro­ Emiya, an amateur mechanic who attends school at Homurabara Gakuen in Fuyuki City is thrown into the Holy Grail war.
This war has lasted two centuries and each time seven sorcerers assemble and engage in a Battle Royale, each gambling his or her own life to obtain the Holy Grail, a legendary chalice capable of granting wishes. The past four Holy Grail Wars have typically occurred every sixty years, with the most recent concluding a decade ago, but the fifth war has eerily started prematurely.
These sorcerers, better known as Masters, are aided by spiritual familiars known as Servants, who are the reincarnations of legendary souls from all across time. These resurrected Epic Spirits, possess superhuman characteristics and wield powerful artifacts or abilities called Noble Phantasms. A Noble Phantasm's hidden abilities may be released by invoking its true name, but casual brandishing of a Noble Phantasm is best avoided, for symbolic Noble Phantasms usually belie a Servant's identity, diminishing that Servant's competitive advantage. Specific legends may be summoned with the aid of catalysts, which are artifacts, ideas, or experiences similar or of value to the desired Servant. Only one Servant can be summoned in each war from one of seven classes: Saber, Archer, Lancer, Berserker, Rider, Assassin, and Caster.

Top notch anime, not many anime make my cry at the end of them, but this one did it for me for some reason although sad there wasn't happy ending for our young hero yet it was very good i was drawn by the end of the first episode into watching the whole atime almost at once could not get enough. Tho bit sadening that i ended up watching it so quickly yet i enjoyed every singe bit of it. True there were some beauties as some people say although you shouldnt be concert abotu that the action was fantastic eh what esle i could say execpt i kinda loved this anime =) "Sad ending between our loveley couple Saber and Shiro Emiya" My heart is too soft i guess yet i'm a man whats wrong with me..
