restivesilence said: I gave it a 7, because I thought it was enjoyable overall. I could understand maybe rating it an 8, but I really don't think it deserves anything higher. Character development, plot holes, pacing, those are all very huge things that affect an anime. And I found problems with all of them. I do have to say that the ending surprised me, I expected a highly cliche end. So kudos for not doing that. I can't honestly say I can find myself agreeing with any rating for F/SN beside this one. |

Itsuru said: FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU !!!! EYAAAAA! I so so so so hate endings like this, why can't there be a happy ending? agree :C @ Kamadaki: that's true but still, it's been like 5 months since I have seen an anime with a happy ending -_- Now that I think about it, why the hell did they destroy the holy graill? it's not like the game ended, in about ten years there will be a new one and with some luck shirou will be in the middle of it again. one last thing: SAAAAABEEEEEER!!!!!!!!! edit: it hasn't been that long, Claymore was ok I guess, haven't seen that much happy endings in while is better. |

| There are huge holes in the plot thats true. But only if you played the VN. But if you did you know the answers in that holes.So its basically the same :) The only totaly lame unreasonable thing that happened in the anime is for Caster to control Sakura.If you have played the visual Novel you would have know that its imposible. But still if you havent played it nothing will surprize you there. Also anime gives a lot of hints that you CANT observe if you watched it 1 or 2 times. For example i think at episode 10 it shows Illyas father. Guess who he is :) Also it gives hints about Rin and Sakura relationship. @Turkeimeister: What you say is just Nonsense.Sorry about that.But its true. People rate animes differently.You might thing Fate/Stay Night deserves a 7 but i dont. Its my all time favourite anime and no other anime managed to keep me that "intrigued" in the story for 24 eps.Also the fights were awesome. Anyways i wont argue with you if you think it deserves a 5 or 6.I dont care either.But it common logic for everyone to rate 10 what he likes the most.I have watched over 100 titles and most of the famous out there but still FSN is my only 10/10. |

Metroid_Ex said: good sound, good art, ok character, crappy story. Show just got worse as it went on. Once again I find myself watching an overrated yet enjoyable anime. Final verdict is. 5, no 6, no 5, no 6, I give up, I cant decide. I'm in the same situation as you. == |
 |
| Scored 7 overall By and large a pretty decent anime, taken as 2 halves, the last half of the show was substantially better then the first half, I was getting very annoyed with Emiya for those first episodes as he seemed almost irredeemably stupid, however he sorts himself out towards the end so all is forgiven :-D Far from a perfect anime, however it has made me want to check out the VN, there were lots of hints about peoples backstories thrown around that were rarely explored in any depth, Rins past with Sakura for example, or how (and why!) Caster became so attached to her master after having killed her first one. Action scenes were very good and once things got going there was some good watching to be had. So yeah. a 7. |
 |
| Scored 10. I loved every minute of it. Although this episode made me cry. : ( |
| scored a 9. sad, so sad... ending. perfect though. kinda reminds me of sola. |
  |
| Oh no ,its over ; ( For me the first half of the show was more exciting than the last half. I even would enjoyed this show without that Gilgamesh King. The romance between Saber and Shirou fell a bit short in my opinion. At the End I had nearly wet eyes,but I prefer happy ends. Nevertheless a well made ending even if it made me a bit sad. I expected that one servant would be re-summoned,but that didn't happen. Score will be a 8 of 10 |

| I dont realy liked the ending as i realy like the Saber Charakter, as she progress thru to get her unveal her emotions... man i would love to see a happy ending for her as she realy earned one! but overall iam fine with that ending as it fitted to the plot but still i cant be objective as i said, Saber :3 well i gave it a 9, cause i enjoyed nearly every minute of it! |

Emiya was really annoying for the first half, and generally the show was a bit dragged, average at best. Then with, if I remember right, episode 11 things started to get interesting and ended up Epic as hell. Well ya, it all comes down to bad pacing. Fabienne said: The romance between Saber and Shirou fell a bit short in my opinion. At the End I had nearly wet eyes,but I prefer happy ends. Nevertheless a well made ending even if it made me a bit sad. This too. I hated the ending but found it nice and somewhat beautiful at the same time. If that makes sense. Overall this wasn't anything I originally expected, but it slowly grew on me. With all things considered, I'd give an Enjoyment 9, but a strong 8/10 in total. It won't end up on my favorite list, but a great anime nonetheless. |
| I enjoyed this series so much, but was so sad at the ending. Saber had really grown on me and I just wanted a happier ending for her. It'll take me a while to get over this one. |

RavenDW said: It'll take me a while to get over this one. the same goes for me... |
| Loved the ending. Although the anime couldn't even match half of the effect that the VN left me with, it was good nonetheless. Deserves an 8/10. |
| i've readed a lot about the VN and yet iam going to play it, ill hope to understand some things better and looking forward to other endings i cant think of, for now, ^^ |
Heart_of_Storm said: Scored 7 overall ... or how (and why!) Caster became so attached to her master after having killed her first one. Yeah, that is an interesting question. Could it be that Kazuki was a sort of Jason figure, a benevelont stranger from a distant land? Still, given that Jason did betray her, I think my explanation is a bit weak. I wonder if anyone has any better ideas? |

| Such a sad but heartwarming ending. Love to never be. It just tore my heart in peaces even tho i saw it coming from mile away. |

I always read it as Medea being shocked and grateful at having someone actually extend a helping hand to her, rather than simply seeing her as a beautiful and powerful woman. |

turkeymeister said: I always read it as Medea being shocked and grateful at having someone actually extend a helping hand to her, rather than simply seeing her as a beautiful and powerful woman. That seems like a sensible interpretation. Kazuki, unlike Jason, didn't want anything from her either. I guess even murdering pyschos can fall in love! :) |

| I really loved this series. The first half, as most have said, was soo slow and boring but after about episode 15 I REALLY got into it! I still have a ton of unanswered questions (Sakura and Rin relationship, Emiya's magical abilities..) but as I've read through these posts it looks like most of them are answered in the VN. The ending was great! I figured there wouldn't be a happy ending for Saber anyway but I loved every bit of the last episode! 10/10 from me! |
| Whut. You found F/SN sadder than Planetarian? What *are* you smoking? |

| Both this and Tsukihime had bittersweet endings lol |
| Manly tears were shed! |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| Was a good show, a solid 7/10, Saber was very bad-ass in my opinion, best character in the show. There was a lot that I felt was left out so I'm eventually going to have to play the visual novel and its sequel because I want to see where things go from here. |

| Would have been better if they made the anime follow the unlimited blade works route. I still dun get to see Shiro use it even at the end. The ending battle was just crappy, but im rating it a 9 because for a cliche storyline and stuff it was executed pretty well and the animation aint bad. |
| the series is great...love the storyline. i was really sad when archer died, to the point that i almost cried XD. its a pity that shirou and saber didnt end up together....i wish they end up together.....TT^TT |
Do you know where hell is? Inside your head.  Put your wishes into the memories you do not want to forget. |
| Ending seriously surprised me. Kudos to that |
 |
| Great anime, but a shitty ending. An ending is supposed to make you feel like watching the show was worth the time. This ending had the opposite effect on me. |
| I have mixed feelings about this one. Pace sure was slow.... characters were mediocre aside from a few..... But the ending did make an impact and left alot of sad feelings... Even though it was crystal clear.... |
| I didn't like the ending,it was kinda bad. I was hoping that saber could remain with Shirou,in a perfect happy ending. I''m obsessed with happy endings,if an anime ends bad i'll hate it for the rest of my life.XD |
| Shiro annoyed me enough to downgrade the show from an 8 to a 7 Interesting setting and premises utterly ruined by slow pacing and unreasonable ending. Okay...so Gilgamesh was all powerful and whatnot and seemed like the Father is unbeatable, and all the sudden stab and slash, they are dead...brings back memories of the "You killed berserker 7 times in one blow!" scene, not good. |
| Hmm... So I just finished this anime. I guess it was okay, the animation was good but there was something with the style that I didn't like, it was too clean or something. The story was crap and didn't have me interested at all. Same for most of the characters, especially Shirou. He was so annoying and his voice... I usually don't find his voice actor that annoying in other animes. UGH, I completely hated him. Only characters I really liked were Archer (but he died...) and Gilgamesh. Can't say that I enjoyed the anime too much.. I really don't know if I should give it a score of 5 or 6. But now that I think about it, I guess it was a little above average so I'm gonna give it a 6. |
 |
| I just finished watching the last episode today and I am still darn affected by it. I really hated most animes for their open and tragic endings. Though FSN is not that tragic, its not an ending I was expecting... It made me beg... PLEASE RELEASE A FATE HOLLOW ATARAXIA ANIME!! Oh, btw... would be alright if someone tell me where I can download an English version of FHA? Thanks a lot... Darn, the pain and heaviness is still there... aarrghh.... |
 |
| Just as I thought.. An unhappy happy ending.. Thus, Fate/Stay Night cannot be one of my five favorite animes. |

Kira01 said: Just as I thought.. An unhappy happy ending.. Thus, Fate/Stay Night cannot be one of my five favorite animes. One thing about Shiro and Archer... Archer was keeping eye on him. If u played the VM he wanted to kill him on UBW route. So he saw that he was going in different kind of way, not hero kind of way, and that is why he was decoy on fight with Berserker, bcs it is not needed to babysit him... |

| Fatestay night is my favorite anime for 4 years... Character chose is great, story is connected to Saber more then u know it and I <3 her! In all 10/10... Here is some explanation why did have to be ending like this that I wrote for fans on one site... She died because she wanted. In anime she says that she is alive and wants to die to full became heroic spirit. She doesn't want to be betrayed, again, by her own people... She wanted to die but she couldn't because she had Avalon within her. Than she completed contract with Holy Grail War. She competed with the master Emiya Kiritsugu. After war, when Kiritsugu found Shiro, he saw the poor boy was going to die, so he put Saber's Avalon within him. Saber returned to her real life it didn't pass second she was summoned again by Shiro. For her the time was frozen in her real life. She thought: "I can finally die piecefully", but Shiro summoned her. Than he gave back to Saber Avalon so she can beat Gilgamesh. When she destroyed the Holy Grail she returned to her painful death and in her way back her wish was granted, she could die... So she asks her loyal servant, Bedivere, to take her sword and throw it in lake, the same lake that Excalibur (depicting Arthur receiving his sword from the Lady of the Lake) was given to her... And then when Excalibur was separated from Avalon she died.

| Saber.... TT_TT Took that last shot at the end and made it my desktop. All and all I give this series an 8/10. |
| To be honest though I didn't care at all for the chararacters. Except mabye Archer But still... I'm sick of seeing a ending with a character dieing off/leave while leaving their loved one alive. Sure there some reasoning behind it but I dont care for it while during the show they focus on their relationship in the show and right before said character dies/leave they confess there love, while knowing whats going to happen. Some episodes were done well, (Archers stand off with Berserker, with some great music. But most of it was poor either due poor plot and pacing to crappy dialogue and characters. |

Well I wrote why is it so crappy ending.And u told that anime sux, but u only watched 9 anime. Plot is awesome. It is more connected to Saber more then u know it. Dialogue are boring a little bcs they are explanations. If u want I can explain some stuff about it that u don't get. |
Shwele said: reptilia said: Nah.. I think I've watch quite a bit more than 9 shows ^^ I just dont spend the time with going through lists and adding anime, and I doubt I every will.

Dialogue are boring a little bcs they are explanations. If u want I can explain some stuff about it that u don't get. It not that I dont understand it, more-so I just didn't like how they done alot of things, and while as I said the endings had its reason, I'm just tried of seeing such a simliar type of ending here like in alot of other shows. I find it unsatisfying 95% of the time. Good thing for me this time since i couldn't care less about the main couple in the show. |
| Didn't like this series too much. There were too many times where they learned new techniques to save the day. Also a lot of the reasonings for events and phenomena that occured throughout the series were way too impractical. Overall I gave this series a 6/10, Saber and Tohsaka were the only parts that made this tolerable for me. |
| Overall an Ok anime. I agree with a lot of reviews on the pacing and character development. With 24 episodes you would have hoped for more development, but it just felt shoe-horned in. The ending, however sad (and did suck) is typical in some sense. Asian story-telling has an almost Greek tragedy quality to it, where love loss is the norm. It is American (Western if you will) to want to wrap up everything into happy endings. I for one, would have like to have seen Saber continue her dream. Would it not have rocked at the final shot with the plushie lion, if it fell over and Saber came by and straightened it..fade to black. |

Only once in ep 15 Emiya projecting Excaliburn was the only thing fitting with your description. About the reasonings and events part : It is indeed true that the anime leaves a lot of importand staff from VN. Still if you havent played the VN besides some minor questions you shall have no problem with the way the things moved on. |
