Fate/Stay night UBW (Unlimited Blade Works) is a re-run of the original TV series Fate/Stay Night aired in 2006 with a total of 24 episodes. Fate/Stay Night is a Japanese visual model developed by type moon which was originally released as an adult game for Windows.
Fate/Stay night UBW is a story about Shiro Emiya a boy adopted who becomes a Master of the Holly Grail war. Masters use their seal to command Heroic Spirits as servants to protect and fight during battle. In the fifth holy grail war Rin Tosaka, one of Shiro’s classmates also becomes a competitor in the holy grail war.
What I like about Shiro’s character is that no matter how many time he falls he puts in his all and gets back up without hesitating as he is considered to be a inexperienced weakling. Rin is a typical straight A high school student who is the daughter of a previous competitor in the fourth holly grail wall. The fourth holly grail wall is what caused her family to perish. Rin being really smart from a young age knew that her Father was murdered out of greed and power.
What got me hooked was the animation, graphics and use of magic in this series. I also like the characters. Shiro never treated his spirit as a slave but as a comrade in battle. Rin being the ‘tough competitor’ has a soft spot for Shiro and became friends with a possible romance and enemies on the field.
Even though I prefer sub because I’m learning Japanese. I totally flipped when I realized Bryce Papenbrooke is the dub voice of Shiro so I watched it dub. I didn’t mind the dub version of this anime.
