MVM regularly release high quality anime movies and TV series'. However, I have to admit that none of them have been quite like Fate Stay Night. This new anime TV series is going to be released on the 4th of January 2010 and I've been lucky enough to have a preview of the content. I have to say I'm very impressed and so far I can't wait for the release. But, is it everyone's cup of tea?
The DVD release that I've seen is just the first four episodes of the 24 episode series called Fate Stay Night. It follows the story of a young master named Shirou. He ends up getting involved in a massive war that will determine everyone's fate. The war is fought over the Holy Grail which is said to hold enormous power.
What's cool about this series is that it really builds up the characters and it's not long before you're hooked. However, I will say that it's not for everyone. Most anime series' are very light hearted and fun. Whereas Fate Stay Night is a little more dramatic and is certainly more adventurous.
It'll be rated 15 as well which means that anyone under 15 will be too young to watch it due to violence and the story line, I believe. The first DVD release will include the first four episodes: The First Day; Fateful Night; Opening Act; The Strongest Enemy.
For people who love this sort of thing, it's certainly a great DVD and really worth the purchase. However, if you're not into anime then it's a good idea to avoid this release. MVM are one of the only companies who release DVDs of this nature in the UK and for that reason it's anime at it's best.
The original story is based on the Japanese visual novel game of the same name and is actually a really intense story that gets you very involved. So, if anime is your scene and you like this sort of thing then this DVD will really get you going. Fate Stay Night isn't for everyone though so beware.
