So I will make this quick. Do you like the old myths about mighty heroes like King Arthur, Alexander the Great or stories about Holy Grail or old legends about long forgotten gods? Then this anime is just for you. I started to watch it exactly for that reason and found out that there is much more than that.
After the first episode I was a bit confused about everything. What the hell is this all about? However after some episodes you'll start to love all the characters. You cannot simply say which one is a bad guy and who's a hero. The background of each character is kinda mysterious but eventually you'll discover more about them and find some deep connections and very interesting philosophical problems.
The animation is good enough too. The fights are really dynamic and you can see a combination of a modern style fighting (pistols, explosives, radio etc.) and fantasy style combat (magic, swords,...). But that's not all, now imagine an awesome epic music in the background....oooh my dayum. Yes, truly a masterpiece. (btw the OST contains some songs from a famous amazing Japanese group Kalafina, that just got me)
The most valuable thing for me was the ending. The personal stories of the characters escalates and you look inside the minds of two most badass characters of this anime. The conclusion is truly incredible. Nobody saw it coming I guess. I was just speechless thinking about the point of the whole plot. Don't wanna spoil but this anime has a really deep message for all of us.
Don't live like waiting for a miracle. Don't expect that something will change your entire life, that you can make a light with darkness, that you can sacrifice goodness in your life in order to win a bigger one. Your dreams are not something far away, it is what you are....
PS: Not gonna watch the other Fate anime. This one was written by a different author and animated by a different studio. From what I've read about the rest, they are not worth watching.
