Probably the greatest and most interesting shift from Type-Moon's own style and the main reason why I really like the show is the time and effort that Urobuchi puts into the majority of the characters. The character designs are simple for the most part but still appealing, as a legion of Saber-fanboys will tell you, and they have personalities to match.
#FATE ZERO ANIME SERIES#
For one it looks fantastic, whatever money the franchise has made so far has been well spent in making this one of the most visually impressive TV series to date, smooth animation and consistent artwork coming together to make crisp, evocative action scenes to get the heart racing. To put it simply, Fate/Zero is a very good show and probably the best Type-Moon based TV series around.
That said, let it be my first and last word as a fan that as far as consistency goes, Fate/Zero does very little to upset the canon purist and even more impressively, very little to put-off the layman either. When watching Fate/Zero, I kept my eye on how well it ran with the already established canon because that is what fans do when faced with a show written by someone other than the original creator, Gen Urobuchi (of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom and Madoka fame) in this case. This fandom, however, leaves me in a different situation to those of you who are either ignorant or unfavourable towards Type-Moon properties. I can't help it though, the po-faced seriousness that all of their games, books and subsequent adaptations approach such a ridiculous and convoluted subject matter is something I find incredibly charming and I'll be damned if they don't do a good job of it too. When it comes to reviewing I sometimes wish that I wasn't already a fan of things, Type-Moon being the thing in question this time.
As a result, they have elected to bring the hated magus killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, into their ranks, despite his methods and reputation as a skilled mercenary and a hitman who employs whatever he can use to accomplish his goals. After three inconclusive wars for the elusive Holy Grail, the Fourth War commences.įounded by the Einzbern, Makiri, and Tohsaka families centuries ago, the Einzbern family is determined to achieve success after three successive failures, no matter the cost. The War of the Holy Grail is a contest in which seven mages summon seven Heroic Spirits to compete to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail," which grants a miracle. The show was broadcast over two seasons but it is essentially one show so I will review it as such.įate/Zero takes place 10 years prior to the events of Fate/stay night, detailing the events of the 4th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. Notes: Based on a series of light novels by Gen Urobuchi that act as a prequel to the original Fate/Stay Night, a doujinshi visual novel by Type-Moon. Related Series: Far too many to list here, the more notable ones being the Fate/Stay Night entries, numerous "Fate/Grand Order" entries and the Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya offshoot.Īlso Recommended: Garden of Sinners, The Future Diary, Darker Than Black Length: Television series, 25 episodes, 24 minutes eachĭistributor: Currently licensed by FUNimation.Ĭontent Rating: 15+ (Disturbing themes, Violence)
