  • Continue on with the Fate/Zero story, the reception to the 1hour premier during the secret screening was quite positive. Bloggers cited great visual and music and great handling of the tense atmosphere. [source.JP]
  • Another Fate/Zero story here if you don't mind. The author for the original light novel, Urobuchi Gen (Madoka Magica), has denied to be the screenwriter in this project. However he will be supervising the script and will have the final say on the manuscript for every episode as well as offering input at recording sessions. [twitter.JP]
  • I promise, this will be the last bit of Fate/Zero news. Niconico.com has announced that it will stream the 1 hour premier simultaneously with the Japanese release with subtitles in 8 different languages. The time unfortunately will be around 3am in the Sunday morning. Now who's with me to stay up and embrace the glory that is this potentially awesome series? [source]


  • The character Sakura Kyouko from Puella Magi Madoka Magica was the pin up girl in this fall's promotional poster [image] for the National Federation of All Japan Guide Dog Training Institution, drawn by the anime's character designer Takahiro Kishida. The poster promotes the volunteer "happy walkers" who, in their own homes, raise the guide dogs from 3 months after birth to the dogs' first birthday.
