These will have references to my other work, Fate/Xillia (Look for it in the crossovers section. Explains Fate/stay night basics throughout it. I LOVE Ufotable's Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works and Fate/Zero. If you're going to see them, don't go on Youtube. Episodes aren't their anymore, just clips. And be very careful to specify which route it is, since Deen has made an anime of the Fate route and an Unlimited Blade Works movie. Both are on Youtube and in English. If you're going to watch it, watch it first since it PALES in comparison to Ufotable. Ufotable is the only one the has made an anime of Fate/Zero, so that will be easy to find.)
Both are in English and are 25 episodes long (Deen's has 24). That is how many chapters I plan to make Fate/Xillia.
Both can be found on Netflix.
Watch Unlimited Blade Works first, since in my opinion Fate/Zero is better.
VERY rewatchable. I've seen both like 5 times. (Fate/Zero more.)
Especially with Fate/Zero, VERY dark, disturbing, and gory. It WILL make you cry quite a few times.
For those who don't know, Ufotable has a huge budget and REALLY pushes it, so all their anime is really short, but AWESOME! People like to call Unlimited Blade Works "Unlimited Budget Works" for a reason.
Granted, the first three episodes are pretty slow, but it gets better quickly.
At the end of episode 25 of Unlimited Blade Works, there's a little bit of a scene after the credits.
There are parodies called "Carnival Phantasm" on Youtube.
Here's a brief summary of both: 7 magi called Masters each summon a Heroic Spirit known as a Servant to fight for them. They fight the other six to the death for a wish-granting cup, the Holy Grail.
Holy Grail War
(Xillia cast, plus Ludger, Gaius, and Muzet in beginning. No Rollo, though there's Teepo.)
(Right after Holy and Lancer meet the group.)
Jude: (Head cocked and eyes slightly wider.) Muzet, you and Milla know about the Holy Grail War?
Muzet: Not all, but most of the basics.
Milla: All spirits have at least heard of it. Only a few, such as Muzet and myself, know more about it.
Leia: (Looking up to her right, index finger on her chin.) This is the first I've heard of it.
Milla: Not surprising. Outsiders are kept in the dark on it. Only a few accomplished mages know about it.
Gaius: Apparently. I'm the king of Rieze Maxia, and I've never heard of the Holy Grail War.
Luger: R1: Is it really OK for us to know about it?
L1: We should have known about this sooner! This sounds exciting!
Chose R1
Muzet: (Head straight, looking down and smiling.) It should be fine since we have both spirits and mages in this group.
Alvin: I guess we should be glad Elize is with us.
Teepo: Yeah! You're awesome, Elize!
Elize: (Wide eyes.) R-Really?
Alvin: (Narrowed eyes and frowning.) Don't get too full of yourself! I only said we're lucky you're a mage.
Elize: (Eyes down.) Oh...
Chose L1
Leia: (Half-body of her pumping her fists in the air.) Yeah! That's the spirit, Ludger!
Muzet: (Half-opened eyes.) Talk about wanting to rush into an early grave...
Rowen: (Hand on his chin, eyes closed, big smile.) Hohoho! To be young and full of energy!
Gaius: (Head cocked slightly to his right.) I agree with Muzet. Ludger seems too energetic about this.
Alvin: Or could it be you're too old to feel psyched up about something?
Gaius: (Half-body with his katana out.) Care to repeat that?
Jude: (Eyes wide and hand in front of face.) Gaius! Calm down!
