Synopsis

Fuyuki City - a city surrounded by the sea and mountains becomes the setting for an ancient ritual. Seven masters are given control of heroic spirits in order to realize the mythical Holy Grail, which is said to grant its owner any wish. These heroic spirits or servants represent legendary heroes of various classes: "Saber," "Lancer," "Archer," "Rider," "Caster," "Assassin," and "Berserker." Each master will enter into a contract with their chosen servant and battle the others to the death until only one pair remains... This is the "Holy Grail War." The young and capable mage, Rin Tohsaka, prepares for her long-awaited Fifth Holy Grail War to begin... With her servant Archer, Rin enters the Holy Grail War as the sole heir to the prestigious Tohsaka family after her father's death. But when Shirou Emiya, a boy from Rin's school, unwittingly becomes a Master and is fatally wounded in battle, she has no choice but to save him. With Shirou and his servant Saber, Rin sets out to strike down the conspiracies surrounding the Holy Grail War. Will the Holy Grail bless Rin and Shirou's path toward victory or will they be cursed with defeat? (Source: Aniplex of America) Notes: - Includes Prologue. - The first, second and last episodes aired with a runtime of ~48 minutes as opposed to the standard 24 minute long episode. - Based on the second route from TYPE-MOON's visual novel, Fate/stay night.

Fate Stay Night/UBW is a Must watch in anyone's book; Nothing even comes close to competing with the Immersed feeling.

If I'm being honest this has to be one of the best anime I have ever watched if not the best. The only thing that can compete against this anime for me is probably going to have to be Re:ZERO. Not watching the Prequel to this I don't believe was necessary due to the fact both anime spoil each other…

Ufotable's UBW hits it out of the park with its stellar animation and well-written story. A must watch for Fate fans.

**SLIGHT SPOILER WARNING** When I first read the Visual Novel of this route, I fell in love with the main characters and the servants; how could such an action-packed route be this good? For being a game made in 2004, this route became one of my favorites in terms of action, music and story. After…

A great introduction to the fate series, but not the ideal one.

I write my reviews based off 5 elements: Story, Characters, Music, Animation/Production Quality and Impression. All of my reviews are spoiler free. This review is based on the ___subbed___ version. # ___This is a review for both season one and season two and will be posted in both pages.___ _____…

A review of fate stay night/UBW

Now I've been put off watching fate for ages because the watch order appears extremely daunting. And it is and that's why I never knew how to get into it fully. p.s( heres the video i used https://youtu.be/9IIsNMHqwfU) but ultimately I skipped fate/zero and went into the original fate stay/night w…

UBW season 1 was really character orientated and left with lots of mysteries to be uncovered.

Just an honest review from a simple anime enjoyer of a series I recently got into. Shout out to my friend for suggesting and encouraging me to make this review @DaimonR, I recommend checking out his review on [Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- ](https://anilist.co/review/22503) _My, my so you…

Earnest story with an edgy presentation

I have played the VN back when it came out, I watched all the adaptations of it including this one when they came out. My impression for a long time has been, Shirou is an extremely edgy teenager that always conveniently gets saved by plot armour, ends up with the hottest waifu, all while preaching…

Immersive action on top of a hard hitting story.

img1000(https://gonzonyan.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/fate-stay-night-unlimited-blade-works-00-subtitle-indonesia.jpg) Treading on the dark abyss can be an enormous task to take. It is a never-ending ride that can only be described in the most torturous terminology. This abyss that I am telling for…

Un choque ideológico sobre el heroísmo, donde los ideales se enfrentan a sus consecuencias

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works es una confrontación ideológica envuelta en magia y acero. Una obra que utiliza la épica visual como escenario para un conflicto mucho más íntimo: la lucha entre el idealismo absoluto y la realidad implacable. No es una historia sobre ganar una guerra, sino sob…

Great animation and compelling story, entertaining watch with cliffhanger ending

ufotable, as a studio, has done wonders in the animation department regarding demon slayer: kimetsu no yaiba and the fate franchise. Criticize each series all you want, you cannot deny the animation quality. Fate as a series fluctuates between and action/fantasy and a slice-of-life kind of series. A…

A lacking first season, but with some fun moments

# __Overview:__ As someone who came from watching Fate / Zero first, Fate Stay / Night [Ultimate Blade Works] has a very strong start, following grown up characters from the prequel, now seemly being able to shine and fight in the next great holy war to overtake their predecessors. But after the fir…

It focuses on Shirou and Rin a bit too much, but otherwise it's an interesting time!

Despite having the same premise, Fate stay/night: Unlimited Blade Works definitely has a different vibe than its predecessor…somewhat for the worse, I think. I think the tone is so different because, in Fate/Zero, nearly everyone seemed like a Holy Grail War professional. Meanwhile, the masters in…
