The ending is absolutely stunning. I just finished watching the whole series. The Mac broke down again but a while ago it worked yet again so I decided to finish watching the series.
Anyhow, I never did expect that the series would end in such a way. The beginning and middle parts were too dragging, too many terms, explanations, and stuff to remember. The climax and conclusion gave most of everything that I actually wanted to be cleared. It was the drama that I liked, particularly the letting go of the one you love thing.
Good anime to kill time with.
For some reason, I rewatched.
There are many instances in the series were a touch of feminism is presented. "Shiro, you are my sheath". Shiro is incompetent, while Tohsaka, Illya, and Saber excel. Shiro is good at cooking. King Arthur, and also Bedivere, are shown as women. Gilgamesh, king of kings, is unable to get his hands on Saber. It all adds up.
The holy grail, in the context of this anime, is the representation of human desire. It's like, if someone excessively desires to achieve something, it will eventually lead to trouble for others.
"There are things that are beautiful because they are unattainable".
Again, the ending is very good. The art, the script, the music, the animation, everything.
