Development

Media

Light novels

Fate/Zero began as a light novel series written by Gen Urobuchi with illustrations by Takashi Takeuchi. It is set as a prequel to Type-Moon's visual novel Fate/stay night. The first volume was released on December 12, 2006,[1] and the fourth and final volume was released on December 29, 2007.[2]

Anime

See also: List of Fate/Zero episodes

The 2011 issue of Type-Moon Ace magazine reported that an anime adaption of Fate/Zero was green-lit for production. It is produced by studio Ufotable and began airing in October 2011.[3] This is the third anime production in the Fate series, following the 24-episode 2006 adaptation and the 2010 Unlimited Blade Works film. Nico Nico Douga and Aniplex simulcasted Fate/Zero worldwide with eight different language subtitles, including Korean, Chinese (traditional and simplified), English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.[4]

The anime was originally slated to run continuously for all episodes, but was later given a season break between 13 and 14 to allow for better animation. The first season ran from October 1 to December 24, 2011 and the second season ran from April 7 to June 23, 2012. For the first half, the opening theme is "oath sign" by LiSA[5] whilst the ending theme is Memoria by Aoi Eir.[6] For the second half, the opening theme is "to the beginning" by Kalafina[7] whilst the ending theme is "Up On the Sky, The Wind Sings" (空は高く風は歌う, Sora wa Takaku Kaze wa Utau) by Luna Haruna.[8] The ending theme for episodes 18-19 is "Perfect Sky" (満天, Manten) by Kalafina. The series has been licensed in North America by Aniplex of America and features an English dub which runs on Viz Media's Neon Alley service since April 2013.[9]

Manga

Along with the anime production, a manga adaptation of Fate/Zero illustrated by Shinjirō was serialized in Young Ace magazine between December 29, 2010 and June 2, 2017 and compiled in fourteen volumes with an additional chapter that was released on June 2.[10][11][12] The manga has been licensed in North America by Dark Horse Comics.[13]

Other media

An art book entitled Fate/Zero material was released on August 8, 2008.[14] Published by Type-Moon, the book contains a compilation of the published and promotional art from the novel, detailed character profiles and memo sections, and an overview of the novel's plot. Two videogame adaptations for smartphones, Fate/Zero The Adventure and Fate/Zero Next Encounter, were released in Japan.[15][16]

Four sets of Drama CDs were released from 2008 to 2010.[17][18] A soundtrack entitled Return to Zero was released on December 31, 2007.[19]

Following the airing of the anime adaption, there is also one drama CD per anime box set written by Gen Urobuchi released from 2011 to 2012.[20][21]

In 2016, A special event entitled Fate/Accel Zero Order was held from 27 April to 11 May. The scenario was written by Gen Urobuchi and the animation was produced by ufotable.[22]

Reception

Fate/Zero was released to critical acclaim. Commercially, the anime adaptation has also been very successful.

Aiden Foote of T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews called it as the "best Type-Moon based TV series" and described it as a "very good show".[25] The Staff at Neo stated the show "surpasses its anime progenitor with memorable characters, a generous dose of action laced with a shot of horror, and good pacing."[26] Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku described the series as "an excellent anime" and concluded that it "has dynamic, multifaceted characters, explores great philosophies and themes".[27] Chris Beveridge of The Fandom Post called the series as "the best show of 2011" and described it as "a strikingly beautiful work."[28]

Accolades

Fate/Zero won multiple prizes during the 2nd Newtype Anime Awards, including Title of the Year, Best Studio (for ufotable), Best Soundtrack, and Best CM. It placed second for Best Theme Song ("to the beginning"), Best Director, Best Character Design and Best Script.

WatchMojo.com has also placed Fate/Zero on multiple ranking lists. In 2017, the show ranked #3 on their "Top 10 Best Anime Series Of The 2010s" list.[33] The series was also ranked #5 on their "Top 10 Anime Series to Binge Watch"[34] and #2 on "Top 10 Anime for Fantasy Fans".[35] They also ranked the character Kiritsugu Emiya as #7 on their "Top 10 Badass Anime Gunslinger" list[36] and Gilgamesh as #7 on "Another Top 10 Most Powerful Anime Characters".[37]
