It’s been a while since the TV series, but TYPE-MOON’s Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works takes #1 in Blu-ray charts for Oricon for the week of September 27 through October 3. They sold 44,000 copies, as well as taking #1 in the DVD sales also with 10,997 copies.

The TV series ran back in 2006 and never got past #2 in terms of DVD sales, although it was hailed as one of best anime series to date. Its popularity is pretty apparent, as many spin-off TYPE-MOON productions have followed as well as a huge amount of fanfiction, aka doujinshi.

Though its origins lie in an adult visual novel, Fate/Stay Night is one my favorite series, and this movie is certainly on my watch list for this week/month. I might just have to rewatch the series again to refresh my memory. Here’s also the ending theme to the anime and one of my favorite songs ever.
