Having spent the last ten years of his life studying under a mysterious sorcerer, Shiro Emiya has become a Magi, a sorcerer who has summoned a “Servant”, a mystical female warrior of incredible power named Saber, to stand together in the ultimate test of sorcery and magic: the Holy Grail War. But Shiro’s own feelings for Saber may conflict with their goal. For to win the contest means to take the risk of losing everything, even as he also begins to empathize with members of the rival battleteams. For while seven teams will enter the battle, only one will leave, and the winners will receive the prize of the Grail itself and their greatest wish granted. Will that wish be worth the price Shiro must ultimately pay? The battle is on in Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works! (MVM Entertainment)

I guess this show is for me like Avatar. I have also heard that if you ignore the visuals, you get a mediocre narrative, a way too long running time, and nothing but a mediocre show, even though I could not neglect the visuals. I take the fact that Unlimited Blade Works is not even close to Fate/Zero in terms of plot (depth of story) as it is. I will probably prefer the original Fate/stay night route (because of Saber), that is also a fact. However, I enjoyed this show because of the animation and the suitable atmosphere created by the fight scenes. Perhaps one day, when I get into the discerning viewer club, I will take these shortcomings into account, although I am more of an undemanding guy. Even now, I am certain that I have seen something extraordinary. I could not agree that the second half was not as great as the first in terms of the animation because even the final fight scenes were just a blast. Five stars. 9/10.
