Review of Fate/Zero
NO SPOILERS REVIEW :-) This series I've been wanting to watch for a long time but never did because I could never figure out the order from start to finish. Some people say start at Fate/Stay Night, others say Fate/Zero, I wasn't really sure so I watched 1 episode from both series and Fate/Stay Night seems like a sequel to Fate/Zero so I recommend watching Fate/Zero first if you want to get into the fate series, anyway onto the review. Story: 7/10 The story is basically a battle royale in the real world, six competitors summon warriors from their time which are referred to as servants tofight each other for a prize known as the grail which can is an omnipotent object where you can ask/wish for whatever you desire and it shall happen. The concept itself seems basic but it's not as simple as just look for people and kill them, this requires strategy and knowledge of your opponents. You get a few on everyone's perspective of why they're in the it for the grail and they always focus on one group of people so you're not really sure who you would want to win at all, they even got other stuff going on that they have to deal with like side quests while they're fighting each other. So yeah, I give the story a 7/10
Art: 9/10
I don't think I have to say much, lets be real. Just looking at the cover itself shows you how the art of the series is, not to mention the animation is absolutely beautiful. Amazing how a 2011 anime can look this good, so I'm giving it a 9/10
Sound: 8/10
They know when to use OST when they're needed, that's for sure. Sounds used in the anime are really good, the OP is great especially since it was sang by LiSA (ED is also a vibe). So I giving sound a 8/10
Character: 8/10
The characters used in fate as servants are based from people you may know from history, like Alexander the great or King Arthur etc. They're all known as kings of their times and all have shared a tragedy in their lifetime, and they portray themselves very well (I recommend researching these people just so it'll help understand them a little more: Alexander the Great, King Arthur and Joan of arc). Besides from the legends, the ordinary people who serve as their masters each have different motives for what they seek, some are basic, some are not interested and some are for the greater good. The match ups seem to fit everyone so it's pretty nice watching people using their servants and all that so yeah, I give character a 8/10
Enjoyment: 7/10
I actually enjoyed the series once I realised what was going on, I like how they balanced the action and information given during the first season. They're some gruesome scenes I must say which are extremely messed up cause of some maniacs, but besides from that I have no complaints so I'll give this a 7/10
Overall: 8/10
Overall is a 8 out of 10, so far so good and I have high expectations of what I will see in the future for this series, so yeah that's my review. Thanks for reading ;-)
