This is a quick review of Fate/Zero an amazing anime that quickly became a classic of the battle anime genre. What is Fate/Zero about ? In a few words Fate/Zero is about seven Historical Figures whether fictional or not fighting for the Grail a relic which has the ability to fulfill any wish. Therefore their Masters their summoners will use anything that are in their power to obtain it. Violence fight scenes blood everywhere this is definitely not your battle shnen/nekketsu where the teenage boy beats everyone gradually where his enemies becomes his allies and where he doesnt even think before acting. Here characters are adults that have to think about every move they do otherwise they get killed. Enemies cant become allies as it has to be. Trailer : https://www..com/watch?v=n7PFiut1HI Where does Fate/Zero take place in the Fate Timeline ? Fate/Zero is the prequel of Fate/stay night. To sum up Fate/stay night takes place in 2004 but Fate/Zero happens 10 years before the events of the original serie. You get to know some characters that will appear again in Fate/stay night as well as an awesome backstory of what did happen before. Is Fate/Zero a good entry point to the Fate universe ? About the Fate/series watch order this serie is the entry point that gives the more spoilers for the Fate/stay night animes. Considering that the others Fate animes arent from the same timeline not including Todays Menu for Emiya Family and Carnival Phantasm they arent good entry points as they dont really explain the origin of the Original Holy Grail War. Fate/stay night is the main material and the origin of the entire Fate franchise. Therefore the best entry point to the Fate universe is the original material : the Visual Novel. Right now the three animes arent the best way to get into it as each one of them do spoil the others. If you want to watch the series chronologically and you dont mind some major spoilers from the three routes of Fate/stay night then start with Fate/Zero. To be honest I was in that case and it didnt ruin my Fate experience at all. At the time Im writing this review only 2 Heavens feel movies out of 3 are available. So starting with watching all the three routes before Fate/Zero is quite complicated. If you aim to watch every Fate anime including Fate/stay night 2006 then start with the latter. Youll get some spoilers from the other routes but knowing this one is the worst animated Fate anime your experience can only get better and better. Then continue and watch Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2014 not the movie then the Heavens feel movie trilogy. You can watch Fate/Zero after the second movie if the third one isnt available yet as the third movie wouldnt give spoilers for it. Notation Time Here is my personal notation of the anime using the advanced system of Anilist. As I became a big fan of the Fate franchise I might have given too high notes. I gave 99/100 for the main reason that I enjoyed every part of the anime. For a 2011 anime the animation still surpasses most younger shows Ufotable showed that they were ahead of everyone at that time. Usually Im not a huge fan of tragic stories but this one did a really good job to keep me interested as well as making me feel contrasted emotions such as hype anxiety happiness disgust... The Original Soundtrack was amazing and added another dimension to every scene of the anime. Each character has a distinct personality especially the Servants. As it was my first Fate anime I loved their original concept. It gives them an awesome historicalinspired backstory and you can quickly have historical figures that dont even are from the same era fighting each other. And give Gilgamesh an Oscar wait he should already have one in his vault Conclusion This was my first review on Anilist Im considering preparing other reviews of the animes I watched so that people can either watch them or not. In these reviews I dont want to only give my opinion on a serie but I also want people to build their own opinion about it. Thanks for reading and have a good time watching Fate/Zero if youre starting after the review
