Fate/zero by ufotable

Aw man... they took down the video, I didn't get to see the opening!

Well, here's a grand idea. Download the episode.

Hey guys, I have great news! Aniplex of America is releasing the first 13-episode Blu-ray box set of Fate/Zero on March 7th in North America (the same date as the Japanese release for the set!) and it comes with such features such as unaired footage and the first original soundtrack!

And all of this is going for only for the small price of $498.98USD - or even better, you can pre-order it from Right Stuff for the cheap, cheap price of $369.98USD!

What a bargain!

Bit pricey, don'tya think? 

I think I'll stick to subs, thanks.

Bit pricey, don'tya think?  

This whole thing already turned into a 15-page discussion over at ANN.

Here's what it boils down to:

The price for this boxset is so high because it is a big premium release. This release, as by Aniplex' train of thought, is only meant for the kind of fan who is willing to pay the extra mile to obtain it. The kind of fan who thinks the series is worth so much, for the collectors out there, not the "casual Anime buyer" who already complains if a complete season set costs more than 60 bucks etc. Hence, you can be pretty sure that this release only has a pretty limited number of copies. The Kara no Kyoukai BD Boxset was similiarily priced and sold-out the day it was officially released at RightStuf. This is a collector's item and hence it is priced the way it is. In the eyes of Aniplex, if it's too expensive, that's too bad for you.

And I somewhat doubt there's going to be a more "standardized" release of this for the US either. I mean, Kara no Kyoukai didn't get another release for the US afterwards, no DVD version, no single BD release, nothing. It's buy it or leave it.

As for me, I am somewhat enticed to buy this, but I'm not sure yet. For one, March is already a pretty expensive month for me given my purchases of games, DVDs and figures and second of all, I haven't found a good store with a somewhat lower price for it yet. So far, RightStuf seems to be the least expensive offer I've managed to find, but the issue is that RightStuf only allows for international customers to pay via credit card, something I do not have. Which pretty much only leaves me with options like CD Japan or AmiAmi.

I personally wouldn't buy it unless it came with a load of limited edition figurines and maybe a signed poster. I mean, come on, half a thousand bucks for 13 episodes and soundtrack. Sorry but, fan or no fan, this thing is twice the amount of a current video game console. And even with that pricing, people complain.

[Gaia]

And I was just getting into this.

Damn. Oh well, at least Prof. Layton will hold me over around until Fate/zero hits eBay. Then again, March is a pretty busy month. I might consider it. Though, it would be nice if they threw in the Fate/Extra demo in as a bonus, would've been a neat touch.

[Phi]

Rider. Why you so GAR.

[Archer]

Unlimited Blade Works is still cooler :v

Ryuunosuke: "COOOOOORURU"

Speaking of our favorite psychopath, have sum uncensored pics from the torturing scenes.

[Archer]

Oh my, that is most definitely an improvement. Hopefully it will go into even more, but we'll see.

I can't wait for the BD.

[Blackhook]

Oh my...


The opening theme is a bit bland though

Also, the second (and first) Einzbern Consultation Room Specials are up on UTW.

[Akamaru]

Has three months already gone by? I really can't wait for the last fight, especially when
[spoiler=For those who haven't read the novels...]Gilgamesh & Rider decide to duke it out. Their final Noble Phantasms and the the results were always hard to imagine it. New heavens and a new earth? I really wanna see how they decided to animate that.[/spoiler]

RIP Ryuunosuke.

It's been fun, you were

[spoiler]cool[/spoiler]

[VirusChris]

Wait... did the second season of Fate/Zero start already?

[Akamaru]

Yesterday, it officially started showing. Crunchyroll better not start it next Saturday though. The anime is the only reason I am going to pay for its membership while it airs.

[Archer]

Crunchyroll

pay for its membership

[Akamaru]

If I regretted my decision, I am certainly not feeling it.

After all this golden brilliance, Rider still doesn't show respect for Saber. Screw you, man.
