This is a short description of the anime Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero. There are several Fate series of anime which is utterly confusing since they all have individual names. It's not Fate 1, Fate 2, Fate 3 and 4 but instead random ass names, none of which give an indication of what order they should be watched in. You thus have to do several hours research and a background check if you want the intended experience. Zero is a genuinely suspenseful competition with several unique magi fighting for the Holy Grail. They summon 'heroes', or famous fighters more precisely, from throughout time to fight for them in a servant capacity. Fate/Stay Night has the same story and is set in the competition following the prequel but follows one clear protagonist instead. He's a hero wannabe who won't shut up about doing the right thing, saving people and justice and so it and Zero may as well be two completely different shows. Zero is some of the best anime I have ever witnessed and Fate/Stay Night is one people could survive missing.
