Has anyone seen this anime? I have 10 episodes and I have to download more. I think there's 26 episodes and was based on a video game. I also love the opening and ending themes.

Fate is the bestest, its based of a visual novel (ie: Hgame with less H more plot, but multiple arcs and endings) by Typemoon. While it's kinda hard to apreciate the full fandom and depth of the characters and story with just the anime, it none the less a good watch. You wont get a full taste of the characters in the anime which is based of the first story arc and ending in the game with some parts of the third integrated. So if you're still interested about watching it there's a quite alot of additional fan stuff to check out. I think it's 24eps as well not 26. Seems 26 ep shows arent cool anymore.

No idea..havent seen the dub (dont intend to)
I'm almost at the end!! Currently up to episode 21/24..its pretty engaging.
*spoilers*
It's pretty sad that so many characters have to die (i.e servants) but I think it was mainly Archer that had an impact. Its good to see that there's stuff going on between Saber and Shirou which is clearly shown once Saber actually starts getting jealous. She develops more human emotions and starts to become very self-concious. The whole King Arthur thing is weird though..shes a female, but referred to "he" O.o err... ^^;;

*More Spoliers*
The anime is actually based off the first story arc in the game so quite alot of things sorta reminded unexplained. Obviously they've changed alot of traditional legends and decided to up their own spin on things, but in the Fate universe they basically allowed Saber/Arthur to be king at the time as times were so deperate, and she had Excalibur etc, etc. Dont really remeber the 'he' part though. They all 'die' in the first Fate arc, but in the 2nd not as many characters die and in the 3rd arc of the game a different set of characters survive again. Aaaand in the add-on/follow up to the game everyone's alive. So go figure lol. But yeh in the context of the anime you dont really find out much about the other servants except for Saber. Archer is probably the next most important as he's actually Shirou from the future. It's hinted at in the anime but not really stated that clearly. But yah just in case you wanted to know that XD

*spoiler continues from Blox's post*
Woah..I didnt know Archer was Shirou's future self.....where was that hinted?! XD
Maybe it was a dubbing thing that kept writing "He" -.-'' Yup, I finished FSN not long after my previous post and it was pretty cool.. but did anyone find Sakura sorta..pointless? Whats the point of having her? I dont really get the Rin x Sakura relationship.. childhood friends?
I thought "Masters" had to all die..

*yet more spoilage*
Yeh poor Sakura didnt get much screen time or use in the anime. Sakura's past was again hinted at but not revealed but she's Rin's real sister. They were seperated at childhood due to the whole magician thingy. So the wussy Shinji is only her step brother who abused her to boot. Again it doesnt show it at all in the anime but Sakura's got zomg hidden magic powers and can turn into evil Sakura which probably makes her the most powerful master. Also Sakura is Riders real master since she's a birth right magicain. Shinji used that command book to steal her but it also made Rider alot weaker then she would be under Sakura's command. I T__T for Rider in the anime she's my fav character but she got kinda pwnt.
Errr all the master dont have to die. Just all but one servant has to be defeated to get the holy grail. However killing the master is usually easier then killing the servant since the servants have like super powers and all. I mean if you look at it practically it would be so much easier to kill Iliya then Berserker >.>

oh wow............ cool facts ^^ I had no idea they were real sisters o.O How come Sakura and her step bro have the same hair colour? lol.. I thought Rider was pretty awesome, but then she got such a crappy Master (Shinji) which annoyed me.
Oh yeh, I remember now that masters can be defeated instead..just wondered why Illiya killed off Shinji when his servant was already defeated. She's kinda cute..lol...
What also got to me was the fact Shirou would be totally covered in blood one moment..and then not a scratch the next... its sorta dumb.. I know he can heal himself because of Saber but ..err..too fast.
About King Arthur...was Saber a male? lol..or female? Like, was the story of King Arthur real?

Err ok lets see, in the Fate Universe Arthur was real and was female ie Saber, in reality its still legend >.> does that answer your question? ^^;
Shirou's regenerative abilities were due to him having Avalon inside him, not because of Saber, Avalon makes him pretty much immortal as it made Saber near invincible when he gave it back to her.
I guess Illiya didnt have to kill Shinji, but she's more thorough then Shirou is and didnt want to risk him being a threat even without Rider. And he's annoying anyway so yeh..he had it coming lol.

You know the other powerful guy who won the Holy Grail War last time, how come Saber and Shirou have to beat him? He's not even... suppose to be involved in the next war. And, I thought Rin died at the end, but looks like not XD

The 'other power guy' I'm assuming is Gilgamesh. They have to beat since he wants to kill Shirou and literally own Saber...well ya know I supose they could do nothing and die but that wouldn't be fun... And yeh he's not involved in the war but the whole point of it is that the Holy Grail doesnt actually grant wishes the way everyone thinks it does, its been corupted and packed with evil. Which looks like black goop. Though to be honest I think that's probably the weakest part of the story, they Holy Grail war is just kind of a random thing to throw a bunch or superpowered characters together. For me Fate is all about the cool characters and their side stories.
