It can be rather violent at times - the inherent violence of the main plot is one of the themes of the story. It’s not gory, though.

I don’t remember any objectionable sexual content aside from a scene or two of classic anime misunderstandings. No nudity that I recall.

I thought the series was fairly decent – worth watching.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

If you have any objections, let's just put it this way--skip episode 15. You can do so and not miss a beat. Also, there's this... dragon. So yeah. Um, just skip episode 15.

For that matter, skip episode 18 as well. There are actually some good scenes and plot relevant stuff there but there's just some visually objectionable (like, borderline NC-17ish) stuff that pretty much ruins the whole episode.

I liked the show very much, but for young viewers it might be a little much as the others have stated in those later episodes. But the objectional stuff isn't that bad if you can overlook it or skip over those parts (There really isn't any full blown nudity, they are covered by their hair or some elses body.). But the suggestiveness is somewhat high at times.). Its a good anime, I own all dvds. But the main focus of the story is on the Holy Grail war. And from seeing all episodes I trust you it is good except for those suggestive parts and partial nudity. And this is not some anime chock full of fanservice like others so there's still a good story, but there are specks of it in the show though.

Remember the reason why there this stuff in it is because it originally game from a computer game, Im not going into specifics because for one I don't think it should be discussed here and two I don't know much about it.

Probably the highest level of bad language is maybe a few D's. In this type of anime do you rarely see anything worse in language as that. Well let me rephrase, bad language in this type of anime is not that prevalent. Its PG, so the bad language can only go so far.

Its a good series overall but its almost like saying everyone should watch Elfein leid because the story's good.....(WHICH NO ONE SHOULD WATCH IT THAT'S a CHRISTIAN) in Fate Stay night's case its the content in the end episodes that really bugs me. I wouldn't recommend it.
Dont ever doubt God. He can help when thing even are impossible for a Human to work out.God can help us with everything, no matter how long it takes, how much it may seem he's not doing, never doubt God.
