Synopsis

After a mysterious inferno kills his family, Shirou is saved and adopted by Kiritsugu Emiya, who teaches him the ways of magic and justice.

One night, years after Kiritsugu's death, Shirou is cleaning at school, when he finds himself caught in the middle of a deadly encounter between two superhumans known as Servants. During his attempt to escape, the boy is caught by one of the Servants and receives a life-threatening injury. Miraculously, he survives, but the same Servant returns to finish what he started. In desperation, Shirou summons a Servant of his own, a knight named Saber. The two must now participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, a battle royale of seven Servants and the mages who summoned them, with the grand prize being none other than the omnipotent Holy Grail itself.

Fate/stay night follows Shirou as he struggles to find the fine line between a hero and a killer, his ideals clashing with the harsh reality around him. Will the boy become a hero like his foster father, or die trying?

This is the canon route (Fate Route), I wish they would remake this route with the same quality as Unlimited Blade Works Route / Heaven's feel Route. Some would advise you to skip this one and jump straight to UBW then Heaven's feel, don't listen to those retards. Fate route is required before you unlock Unlimited Blade works route, then Heaven's Feel in the VN. You are MISSING OUT if you skip this series. I know the animation is not that great, and dialogues seem kinda dry "People die if they are killed" still gets me rofl but hear me out.

This is essential to the ...

Mixed Feelings
This TV series is an attempt at adapting the [Fate] route from the visual novel Fate/Stay Night, the beginning of the Fate franchise as a whole. Overall, this project does a good job adapting elements from this route when it chooses to do so. Unfortunately, it does not always stay true to the plot of [Fate], occasionally bringing in storylines from the [Unlimited Blade Works] route and introducing new scenes detrimental to the experience.

It is hard to recommend this as someone's first experience with the Fate franchise, not because of the dated 2006-era production, but because of the flaws in the presentation of this story, ...

Shirou Emiya. Never in my life have I hated the protagonist of a story more than this. Never before have I felt so much secondhand cringe from one character, not even while watching RE:Zero. If you ever wondered what happens when you take the ever so honorable women protecting protagonist of a flat isekai anime, take away all his powers, and give him a woman sidekick who's many times stronger than he is, you've got Shirou. This boy caused me physical pain every episode, and every episode I would keep watching, hoping beyond hope that the next one would be better, there's so many good ...
