Yo..Anime time. :)
I don’t know why, but I’ve been watching a lot of anime this past few weeks. Law of Ueki, D Gray Man, and others which I probably thought not all people watch it. But, put that issue aside, I want to tell you about this anime, which I loved so much and become attached to it in the short time.
FATE STAY NIGHT.
I know the title sounds weird and have no meaning, but hey, who care? As long as the story is great. But, as they said, title is the basis of all. People usually watch anime with attractive title. Even my friend wants to watch Fairy Tail because she said the title is appealing….? Hurm…
Basically, this anime is about the Holy Grail War. War between 7 magicians, choose by the Holy Grail. Throughout the anime, never once it shows the Holy Grail. Only that it were described as a spiritual thing and can be touch by spiritual thing too. Wicked ea? It claims to possess a power to grant wishes. That’s all this war is all about, getting their wish come true. The Holy Grail chooses the 7 magician and each magician was given a servant, a heroic spirit form past, present or future. So the magicians were called a master to the servant. Servants are divided into 7 classes:

Saber.Hero whose use sword as their weapon.Everyone familiar with Excalibur right? Sword claimed to be the greatest and beautiful of all. Belong to King Arthur Pendragon, a Saber class servant. King Arthur is described as a woman in dress with armor named Arthuria. King Arthur is a girl and a beautiful one too. Very skillful and usually when she fight, she will use an invincible sword in order to hide her true identity from the enemies. Her master is EmiyaShirou.

Lancer. Lance or spear is their main weapon. Maybe anything long and sharp?

Rider. Heroes who has a ride? I couldn’t really tell what kind of ride, but in this anime the rider class hero is a woman use some kind of rope with sharp things attached to it and used by swung it and attack enemies. Her past life is Medusa. I'm quite confuse because as i know, Medusa got something to do with snake and how people will turn into stone seeing her. Which is different as portrayed in this anime.

Berserker. Using strength as their weapon. Their power overcome minds and thus acts without thinking. Magician who has berserker as a servant must have a huge amount of power to control it. Hercules, as shown in this anime.

Caster is a magician, a hero who uses magic as their weapon. Merlin can also be classified as Caster, though in this anime Caster class servant is
Medea.

Assassin is an assassin. Any hero regards to their way of battling in such they attack enemies in silent and move swiftly as they were invincible. Assassin usually portrait as a ninja or samurai. They lurks in shadows to attack.

Archer. Hero who is a master in archery of course. In this anime, archer not only use arch but also swords? And he is a hero form future, which is one of the magicians who involved in this war too. Come from one of the possible future. Did you know that there are many possible futures? Future may be altered just by a single action. Maybe that’s why time travel never success.
The plot is quite simple, action, fighting in order to win the match. Each hero has a heroic talisman related to them. For example, King Arthur’s is Excalibur Sword. The servant usually doesn’t tell their name out loud because just by telling name, opponent can really tell pretty much everything about them, their weaknesses and strength already written in history, of course everyone know.

There is one servant that catches my attention, not because he’s handsome which he is, but because his heroic talisman is endless. Its like he has so many weapons and flawless. Named Gilgamesh. Said to be the King of all King? I couldn’t find a lot of info about him in internet though. Not about Gilgamesh in this anime, but in reality. He is apparently a servant from previous war who survived and stay at current world.
After watching this anime, I find ancient history is very mysterious. Should I just change course to History? I’d love to if I can, but maybe some other time. I recommended watching this anime. Ouh yes, there is a sequel to this anime, Fate-Zero, currently airing. I’ll definitely review if after it finished airing.
p/s: guess what, this post is in draft for almost 2 months. :P
