Fate/Zero TV #001: This Kirei Kotomine Seems Like a Trustworthy Chap

This is not a review. If you want an objective review you can check out ANN or any of several dozen episodic bloggers. This is a love letter to Fate/Zero. I am sure I will complain about one or two things, as is the nature of picky fans, but I’m mostly here to sit back and raise a glass to a series I love.

Saber fandom über alles!

Shance and I will examine each of the episodes of the first season of the show and maybe give some insight to the references for casual Type-Moon fans who can’t name off each of the characters in the Nasuverse with known reality marbles and what they do. The second episode is fun at the beach with Shiki’s innocence on the line. Actually considering his relationship with Jinan Tokie maybe the contestants are too late.
