ANIME SATURDAY: Fate/stay night


This year I was fishing around for new anime to watch after the under-dramatic and totally unexpected ending of SPIRAL, and kept coming across Fate/stay night. I rented the first dvd from Netflix and became INSTANTLY hooked.

Starting out as just a video game,
Fate/stay night became an anime through the animation of Studio Deen and the production of the Fate Project which included numerous other big-name anime production companies. The show aired on Japanese television between Januay--June 2006 on Saitama TV and Chiba TV. It's popularity spread from Japan to the rest of Asia and then here to America before Geneon could even get it dubbed and produced---thanks to the benefits of Youtube that is! ^-^

Without getting into too much of the plot,
Fate/stay night is a story about the war for the Holy Grail using summoned warriors, known as servants to achieve that victory. The main character, Shirou Emiya is pretty much untalented and clueless to the world of magic and unknowingly summons Servant Saber---one of the most powerful servants of all.

I haven't completely finished watching the series yet. I'm supposed to be on volume 5 but got distracted by
Fushigi Yuugi while waiting for it's availability status to be in my favor. After watching volumes 7 and 8 of Fushigi Yuugi I'll jump back onto Fate/ stay night once more!

Today in honor of how amazing this show is, and in conjunction with

As you can tell, I don't have the b-sides to these singles. If you have them and wanna share them with me, please them to me when you get the chance. I had no idea these singles even had B-sides, especially Sachi's.
