*Note: this a review for the whole series of Fate/Zero.
In a world where there is seven heroes called servants accompanying seven mages called masters in a death battle to obtain an omnipotent wish granting vessel called the holy grail, our story starts.
In a story perspective it's it's one of the best stories I've ever heard. The story evolving one of the most famous legends out there: The King Arthur in an outstanding way, it's a great story and a great adaptation to a story and I can't say anything bad about it.
Well, we have a lot of animes that have a good story ... but f**king stupid character but this isn't the case here, in Fate/Zero on of the major brilliant aspects is the characters, first the show lacks a protagonist they show you the story from all characters perspective without focusing on one or two so you may choose the one you see is right and you mostly won't have any idea who is the winner till the very end of the show, also none of the characters has any relates to high school, moe girls, lolis or any stupid trsundres (Oh God, Finally!!!!) all of them have an interesting personalities and they all (except one) are adults which gives the show an atmosphere of maturity.
Then what about the soundtracks and the music overall? well, all I can say to describe it's awesomeness is what ever a fight you would see while listening to it would seem fantastic even if it's just between to cats, yes it's that awesome.
Next the art and animation, hahahahahaha do you really have to talk about it??it's UFotable. it's just the most awesome, fantastic, great, brilliant animation I've ever seen in my life, I assume that there is not only a geniuses worked on it but a crazy budget too, it's just top-notch crazy beautiful animation.
Now last but not least, my personal enjoyment:
There is nothing perfect as they say and F/Z has its flaws, the start of the show was little slow and somewhat boring and the ending confuse the people who's not familiar to The King Arthur story or the novel the show was built on and it's the most affecting factor to my score of F/Z because any adaptation should stand on its own and it shouldn't acquire a previous knowledge from the viewer at all, oh another thing is the show has almost no fanservice which was a pleasure to me.
With that being said my overall feeling about the show is other than that ending it's a must watch anime and almost a masterpiece and I would recommend it to anybody and I give it a score of 9.7 .

Story: (10/10)
The story talks about a 30-years single who will take care of a child after the death of her father but wait who's her father?! his grandpa? well I don't think that I've heard of a story like this and I think that the idea of this anime (taking care of your 5-years aunt) is unique for me and the story-telling is excellent in the show.

Art: (7/10)
The art in this anime is quite good for me and fits the atmosphere of the show, ... but at the beginning of the episodes the art is different a little bit and I didn't liked that style too much though it's still has a very good art.

Sound: (9/10)
The sound tracks are good and fits the show, though it's not memorable that if here it some where else you would instantly recognize it but it's great and I liked it.

Characters: (10/10)
I think the most strength point of this anime is characters. All characters are unique, each character has it's own personality and ALL of them are lovable. I liked all of them and I'm sure you will do too.

Enjoyment; (10/10)
Great story, very good arts, excellent sounds, great characters and a lot of excellent comedy. Definitely very enjoyable.

Overall: (9/10)
There is really nothing bad in this show for me and I don't see anything that would prevent you from enjoying it. It's a great show and you should definitely check it out.
