* Based on a game It is said that the Holy Grail grants wishes to he who wields it. To materialise the Holy Grail, a ritual is about to be held. The Holy Grail will choose seven wizards (masters) and give them seven familiar spirits (servants). Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker. More most likey to come. The master contracts with one of seven familiar spirits that plays one of the above roles (classes). The master must prove that he is qualified to have the Holy Grail, meaning that he must eliminate other masters to show he is the strongest. This ritual is called "The Holy Grail War". The story takes place in Fuyuki City. It is a city surrounded by the sea and mountains. In this common city, a shadow encroaches. The main character had lost his parents in a fire when he was a child. He was adopted by a person who called himself a wizard. Disobeying his father-in-law, the main character has studied magic. However, because he lacked talent, he could obtain only one magic spell despite several years' training. One day, the main character is accidently involved in a fight between two opposing masters. As he is dying, a girl suddenly appears and saves him. "...Now, I ask you. Are you my master?" He contracts with one of the seven servants, Saber. Willingly or not, he becomes a master, and plunges into a war over the Holy Grail...

Its one of the "above" average ones just watch it and like it. if you complain here and/or keep on thinking about the bad points of the anime, its just going to make things worse. bottom line, watch it and enjoy it

Everything's all nice and stuff but this story seems a little boring....like the story's getting no where...so far he just find out about his friend andlearns a little more about everything else...some battle scenes...but what's the main point. I know they have to get the holy grail but ...come on , get on with the story already.... Too much kept in the dark, so much secretcy...i don't even know what the character's personality is or what they're trying to do....they keep changing every ten mins.. But base story and music still good!

This is an Oh So Sweet Anime with fighting scenes that baffel the mind! This is a crazy show!

Visually amazing but a bit too paced. It's been about 10 episodes and there's very little plot progression, not to mention the fact that the main character has almost gotten killed 3 times and is still as weak as he was in the first episode. I'm all for crafting a story over time to weave a better tale, but they need to pick this one up a bit in my opinion.

I like that Ishida/Souske is the main character for this anime his voice acting seemed like it would fir a main character instead of 2ndary main. Also the drawings are very clean!! ~Bird
