Praise for the original
Fate/Zero manga:
"It has dynamic, multifaceted characters, explores great philosophies and themes, and tops it off with large helpings of action. It also has the will to go deep into dark, psychological territory to improve both its characters and story."
-Kotaku "As both a standalone project and a prequel, the series is an unqualified success."
-Anime News Network "The time and effort that Urobuchi puts into the majority of the characters. Motivations are explored and contrasted, relationships grow and are expanded upon and all this gives the superb action context and meaning."
-T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews
