Review by Bonnydoax |
Fate/zero takes place 10 years prior to the events of Fate/stay night, detailing the events of the 4th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. The War of the Holy Grail is a contest in which seven magi summon seven Heroic Spirits to compete to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail," which grants a miracle. After three inconclusive wars for the elusive Holy Grail, the Fourth War commences.
The anime tells the story of the Fourth Holy Grail War, a secret magical tournament held in Fuyuki City, Japan where seven magicians known as Masters summoned Servants, reincarnations of legendary souls and heroes from all across time, where they fight in a deadly battle royale where the winner obtains the Holy Grail, a magical legendary chalice capable of granting wishes. Many of Fate/zero characters are related in some ways to the characters of Fate/stay night particularly Fate/zero's main protagonist, Kiritsugu Emiya, foster father of Fate/stay night's protagonist, Shirō Emiya, a infamous assassin known for being a merciless mage killer who joins the tournament on behalf of his wife's family, the Einzberns.
Founded by the Einzbern, Matō, and Tōsaka families centuries ago, the Einzbern family is determined to achieve success after three successive failures, no matter the cost. As a result, they have elected to bring the hated magus killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, into their ranks, despite his methods and reputation as a skilled mercenary and a hitman who employs whatever he can use to accomplish his goals. Though Kiritsugu had once wanted to become a hero who could save everyone, he has long since abandoned this ideal upon realizing that saving one person comes at the cost of another's life. For the sake of humanity, he will ruthlessly destroy anything and anyone who threatens the peace of others.
However, Kiritsugu finds himself deeply torn between the love he has found for his new family - his wife Irisviel and their daughter Illya and what he must do to obtain the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu's greatest opponent appears in the form of Kirei Kotomine, a priest who cannot find any sense of fulfillment in his life and sets his sights on Kiritsugu as the possible answer to the emptiness he feels.
The anime is jointly produced by Aniplex, Nitroplus, Notes, Seikaisha and Ufotable and directed by Ei Aoki, produced by Atsuhiro Iwakami, music by Yuki Kajiura, character design by Atsushi Ikariya and Tomonori Sudou, and Art, 3D and Photography directions by Koji Eto, Kōjirō Shishido and Yuichi Terao respectively.
