Fate/Zero hit the net

With a force close to Excalibur itself, Fate/Zero, the sequel to the awesome, but rather dated, Fate/Stay-Night, has hit the internet.



Zero is a prequel story, taking place in the Fourth Holy Grail War, which devastated a large amount of Fuyuki City. Also, unlike Stay-Night, Zero follows most of the Masters, although Emiya Kiritsugu, adoptive father of Stay-Nights protagonist Emiya Shiro, is the central character. Arthuria, the genderbent King Arthur, makes an excellent return(or is it pre-turn?) as Sabre, and Gilgamesh makes a legitimate appearance as Archer, but the other Servants make things interesting enough that it doesn't feel like a rehash(or pre-hash? This prequel business is confusing my sense of proper grammar).

If you'r Japanese is up to scratch, you can check it out on Nico Nico Douga(Japanese YouTube), or if your willing to put up with ads up the butt, or have an account there, you can hit up CrunchyRoll. Failing that, Youtube or torrents are your best bet, and it is very worth looking into.
