Thanks to this particuar person (I won't tell you who), I'm so hooked with this anime that I was watching it like there's no tomorrow. Fate/Stay Night is originally a visual novel created by Type-Moon. This anime has 24 episodes altogether.
Synopsis: Shirou Emiya lost his parents in a fire when he was young and was later adopted by a sorceror by the name of Kiritsugu Emiya. Although he was full of admiration for his adopted father and yearns to become an ally of justice, Shirou has limited powers and was unable to become a strong sorceror like his father. That is until one fateful day, he was drawn into the Holy Grail War and had to summon a female "Servant" known as Saber in order to protect himself. It turns out that the Holy Grail War involves a series of battles among powerful sorcerors to fight for the possession of a relic that will grant one's wishes, the Holy Grail. There are altogether seven "Masters" who can summon their respective "Servants" from different classes known as Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Caster and Assasin. These "Servants" have to hide their names in order not to reveal their weaknesses to the enemies. The story revolves around Shirou and his entanglement in the Holy Grail War.

Comment: Since this anime is the adaptation of the visual novel, I'm not really sure the anime really does follow the actual storyline or not because there could be some of the parts in the novel are not included in the anime (it's the same case like Kingdom Hearts novel where there are some of the scenes not in the game are included in the novel) so if you really have a doubt about the anime, then maybe you should read the novel (it's in Japanese, of course). You may feel like the flow of the story is moderate but in anime, waiting for Saber to appear is very long as she appeared in the second episode so I find it rather slow. Maybe there's nothing I can do about it because that's how the storyline suppose to be. There are quite a lot of jargon words here so you really need to pay attention and some facts about the Holy Grail War. These jargons and the facts will keep on repeating so you don't really have to worry about missing some points. The story doesn't just revolve around Holy Grail War all the time so there are also moments where everything is so calm and relax, therefore there's humor to fill the moment to make the story less tense. The scenes can be very violent most of the time with blood splashing so watch with caution. Overall, I find this anime very interesting despite of the serious storyline so it's not surprising if most people like Fate/Stay Night, it doesn't matter the visual novel, anime or the manga. This is an anime that you really must watch.
