As an anti-fan of the entire Visual Novel format, maybe I'm not qualified to review this. But Fate/Stay Night had stunningly hooked me and didn't let go, so I gave this a try.
But it was lacking the combination of elements that kept me completely involved; the art was bland, the characters didn't spring to life as boldly, the music was lacking, and the remaining sound was downright annoying. I just couldn't tolerate it for more than 1/10th of the story.
HOWEVER -- I've gotten the story through secondary sources, and it is such a very good story to tell that I regret not being able to stay with it. The anime has failed to do it justice, so all I can do is await the remake with the same anticipation as other Lunatics.
