Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Diagonaldi Very well executed
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
grigoryaleksin In my opinion, this is one of the greatest anime's of all time. It combines amazingly detailed battles with an interesting plot at the same time as carrying a deep philosophical meaning.The songs at the beginning and end are beautiful and touching, either making you cry or pulling you into another destruction filled scene.Overall this anime is a "must watch" for all fans but still may be interesting for aspiring philosophers studying examples of nihilism. However for all those, who love action, adventure and a little bit of tragedy, Fate Zero is perfect. I would highly recommend it anyone!At the end, it really makes think about want it means to have a "dream" and questions everything you previously believed in!
emma529 You could watch this anime and never hear of the original Fate/stay night which is a beauty. It pretty much sums everything up in the first episode, it's long and might bore you but it will pay off to understand the rest of the series. If you're into historical subjects then you will enjoy it, however, they do twist it up a bit (not the reason why it's a 8 by the way) Absolutely amazing writing, alike with another anime: Attack On Titan (and all the fangirls flip their shizz) it is very dark, maybe even a bit darker. Unlike AOT it does have lighthearted moments, not many but a few. The characters are also nicely detailed, the fight scenes are great and you fall in love with the characters. Fate/Zero does stay fray of the traditional animes however, it's more realistic than some I've seen. In all honestly, it would be cool to see this as a live action. It is such a great set up for its remake of Fate/stay night.
Asadullah Khan Being a prequel to Fate/Stay night, which I happen to really like, it was a great experience to see what happened in the events mentioned a lot in Fate/stay night. Fate zero is serious, brutal, unapologetic and mature. It is a character driven and dialogue heavy anime. Story is good. I like the whole holy grail war scenario and the idea of using past great heroes to fight in them. Storytelling is AWESOME. There are lots and lots of characters in this anime and it manages to give everyone a fair share of screen time and great character development. Each character is complex, varied and distinct. This is where this anime truly shines. The relationship between the Masters and the servants is great and is distinct as well. Some are easy, some are complex, some are downright weird. The dialogue in it is also really great, and there is a lot of it. Every movie a character makes is a calculated one. There are no pointless fights or stupid decisions. It really goes to show how mature this anime is. The protagonist especially, is really clever and plans out everything with perfection. It, at times, gives Baccano and Death note a run for their money. There is some humour in this anime, although all of it comes from Rider and his master's conversations and scenes. The way they handled them was one of my favourite things in the anime, loved it. Animations/art is without a doubt the best I have seen so far in an anime series. Everything is so detailed, beautiful and fluid. There is a lot of CGI too. Normally, I hate CGI in animes but here, they managed to blend it almost perfectly. On very few occasions did it felt out of place. Watching this anime in HD really just melt your eyes, ITS SO PRETTY!!Soundtrack is amazing as well. From epic battle music too moving sad moments, it has it all. The anime is not perfect however. I really wished there were some more dialogue moments between Saber and Kritsigu other than that one epic one. Would have loved if there was more development between them. Also, there aren't many fight scenes in this anime. I get the reason behind it as its a more mature anime, pointless fighting was not gonna be in it. But still, epic ones are few and far between. Would have loved to see some of the characters go all out against one another especially in the quality of its animation. Overall, it is a great, epic anime which you don't get to see a lot. Its maturity is what sets it apart from other animes like it. It is certainly one of the best anime I have seen in a while and perhaps of all time. Compared to FS, FZ is way way better. Fate/Stay night is like a younger, annoying, often playful brother. Fate Zero is the older, serious, mature, awesome and somewhat dark brother. Highly recommended. 9.5/10
Rey Le Only one word to describe Fate/Zero: AWESOME.I have seen a lot of animes, both movie and series, but Fate/Zero is the best one. The story line was new and totally different from other animes which are usually "fun" and "entertainment". Fate/zero leaves its watchers to think about their dream they are chasing after.All characters are deep and emotional. They are well expressed their characteristics and their personality. The action scene is powerful and well animated with special effects. If you love anime, you must watch it."Dont read the rest if you haven't watch the movie" Three KINGS in the movie is a good story about king's power and their different dream.Gilgamesh- King of kings, king of Babylon, owner of every treasures in ancient world. He is arrogant and powerful.Iskander Alexander- King of Expeditions. The dreamer of Oceanus, he has a strong loyal army follows him to death. But he failed and died before achieving his goal.Arturia Pendragon- King of Knights, King of The Great Britain. The little "girl" ( as two other kings has called)who follows an unreal dream which is bringing justice to her citizens. She gave up everything she has given up friends, family, hometown, comrades to chase after her dream. Emiya Kirisugu- The Knight of Justice, he is cold hearted, great assassin, shooter and husband. He is the main character of the story and well created with impressive life's story and characteristic. Likes Saber, his goal is destroying evil and bringing justice to the world. His story is beautiful and sad. When he realized his sad dream is unreachable, he totally collapse.I actually almost cry at the end of the movie. It left me a lot of thinkings about each character and my "dream" in this world.A must watch anime, one of the best anime ever. ReyNZ
