Exactly. I was excited by the annoucement, then let down. Blah.

[FUNiOP]

That's really great. I really hope this ends up happening more in the future. Yet another move by Aniplex I greatly approve of. Hopefully it makes its way to Crunchyroll though, because for as little as I watched on Niconico in this one season of simulcasts on it, I am pretty damn fed up with it and I was hoping to not have to use it anymore unless/until they fix a lot of problems.

Oh wait... I probably have to watch Fate/stay night first anyway, don't I? I should probably get on that...

[HitokiriShadow]

Yeah, not going to watch anything on NicoNico until I hear they have non-atrocious video resolution.

Not really, Fate/Zero is a prequel. The show and/or the discussion threads may spoil some things from F/SN though.

Are you ready to witness Ufotable's highly detailed art and animation in 360p?

I sure am not.

[Draneor]

Eh. NicoNico. I'll probably pass then. Well, being a prequel, it's not like the ending is a mystery or anything.

Yeah, pretty much. It shouldn't require any F/SN prior-knowledge to follow, but Zero will blow things that F/SN held back a major reveals right from the outset. If anyone has ever had any intention to watch the anime or (probably more significantly) play the VN, now is probably the time to do it.
