About Fate/Zero:

The story starts from zero, a beginning…

The Holy Grail War - in this ultimate battle field, in order to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail" that makes
one's any unattainable wish, seven "masters" summon "servants" and fight against each other until the last
one survives….

After three inconclusive Holy Grail Wars, the fourth battle has finally started.

Hoping to win the battle, each master is heading to the new battlefield called "Fuyuki". However, there is a
man who is confused and struggling being unable to find a meaning of the war -- his name is Kirei Kotomine.
He wonders why he is appointed to this task, but without any answer, he encounters his archrival - his name
is Kiritsugu Emiya, a master who craves for the miracle Holy Grail most of all.

The untold truth of "the Fourth Holy Grail War" that had occurred 10 years before "Fate/stay night" --- the
truth about the battle fought by Shiro's adopted father, Rin's father and young Kirei Kotomine is about to
reveal!!

Very awesome of Aniplex to simulcast Fate/Zero, I was hoping they would!

Take notes Crunchyroll, I'm sorry to be mean, but yeah, take notes.

:-/ why dont you support the art you love and PAY FOR STUFF. CR is amazing, they need to take no notes.

unless ur saying CR. GET MOAR SIMULCAST

He's probably talking about the subtitling in 8 languages. Crunchyroll has the right idea, unlike sites like JManga.

Anime is taking over the world.

I just wish nico wasn't so poor quality wise. It is a waste of time to watch anything there. From low res, to stupid framing. Hulu is better, and CR is way better.

Well, I am happy, this is the second Fall 2011 anime series that I will be watching.

I'm going to have to support this effort since they've exhibited such kindness. But if they have the resources to handle so many languages at once, I wish they would have worked with CR so they could receive a portion of the money I gave for such cause.

Looks like I get to watch F/S Z!

This is great

YEAH FATE/ZERO LANCER! WOOT!

Too bad NicoNico's video quality is--not so nice. Hopefully some other places can stream this too (even at a later date with better video quality would be better than watching something in such low quality). If NicoNico had better video quality, I'd consider watching, but I guess it is not meant to be (for now).

I'll watch streams pretty much anywhere BUT NicoNico. It's the worst streaming service to exist with it's horrible quality, no free full screen, questionable subs. I'll watch this fansubed before I watch it on NN.

Not really a huge fan of NicoNico... only show I've really watched there was Blood-C but that's because that show was exclusive there and not too amazing... I signed up for their 25 cent beta thing, still don't like that full screen isn't completely full screen, and their video encode quality leaves a lot to be desired. The US site is still in beta testing so I can understand why it is the way it is, but this is a show you're going to want 720p to view it in. MAYBE, just maybe they will do the same thing they did last season and have CR air it a week late in higher quality as they did with 4 of the shows on NicoNico for the Summer season.

9/20/11 by dokudokugwo

On their video quality, I not only mean the fact that it isn't HD, but the on recent episodes of blood-c that I have seen... there is this horrid problem of when things move the video gets really choppy... for an action show like that one and fate/zero... gonna suck.... bad. So CR please do something to get this show, even if it's a week late, since Aniplex and Nico don't quite seem to realize yet that crappy video quality makes people go to fansubs, even if they normally support simulcasts. Even Funimations streams look better than NicoNico's....

You can set it to be full-screen; it just doesn't default to working that way. You have to change the NicoNico option for how full-screen works.

Worldwide and in 8 languages. This is awesome! Way to go Aniplex!

9/20/11 by yuyah

wooooahhhh...^^

What is with Aniplex and their fascination with niconico. Ugh. Niconico is the worst. I may have checked out this show otherwise, but will hold off on it until it streams somewhere, anywhere else. Terrible quality. No full screen. etc. -same complaints as others here.
