Fate/Zero Teaser From 13 Years Ago Shared For Anniversary

The ufotable X (formerly known as Twitter) account has posted a video to celebrate the 13-year anniversary of the Fate/Zero anime adaptation. The show stared airing on October 1, 2011.

The video in question is actually the teaser from that faraway time known as 2011. You can watch it both on YouTube and on X. It starts with a voiceover of Saber asking if Kiritsugu is her master, before a rather long sequence of credits and the 3D animation of the summoning circle being drawn. Then, it shows clips of the main characters, both Servants and Masters. Even Rin, who only made a brief cameo in the show, appeared, likely due to fans already being familiar with her from Fate/stay night.

Here is the teaser for Fate/Zero, which aired thirteen years ago to promote the anime:

Fate/Zero is a prequel to the original Fate/stay night visual novel, with Gen Urobuchi as the writer. Urobuchi’s known for his work on Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Saya no Uta, and Psycho-Pass. He’s also working on upcoming platformer Rusty Rabbit. The story takes place during the Fourth Holy Grail War and focuses heavily on both Kiritsugu and Kirei, as well as their Servants Saber and Archer. Iskandar and Waver are also major players, though they’re mostly separate from Kiritsugu and Kirei’s drama. Many fans and critics enjoyed Fate/Zero for its story and characters, and it’s one of the more popular series in the Fate franchise.

Fate/Zero is available to stream on Crunchyroll. At the end of the Tweet, ufotable also reminds viewers that Japanese television is re-running Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, which is available to stream via Crunchyroll.
