Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

A bit late and I apologise but Fate/Zero has already began and currently is at the third episode. Now if one doesn’t know what either Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night or Type-Moon for that matter is, all I can think of saying is…

By the gods man/woman, where in the world have you been? Regardless of the area of interest, as long as one is into the anime/manga community they have to have heard of at least one of the three afore-mentioned terms. No, seriously. Never heard of those? Well how about Saber? Tohsaka Rin? If the answer is still no then may the Lord be with thee.

For those who know, you might remember the days when we shipped Saber with Rin in Fate/Stay Night, right? Please tell me it isn’t only I? Rin x Saber is like one of the must know ships of Anime FCOL.

Now as to why I am bringing this up…kukuku…I am so very pleased to say that Saber returns in the latest Type-Moon Anime adaptation Fate/Zero, which is about the third grail war – the one that came before the one in Fate/Stay Night and it took place 10 years prior (If I am not mistaken) to the happenings of Fate/Stay Night where Rin and Sakura are still kiddies.

Note: It was at this time that Sakura was adapted into the Matou family.

But getting back on track, Saber is back and this time with a vengeance. She is everything that we hoped her to be the first time around. A King, A knight and most of all…Absolutely shippable.

I can assure you that Saber in Fate/Zero will make you wish the other Saber didn’t exist (or Shirou for that matter – Really, fate/Stay Night would’ve made a lot of more sense if it was about Rin since she was there in Fate/Zero and she is a Tohsaka for God’s sakes).

This Saber is to die for and the relationships in fate/Zero are serious business not like the childish/fan servicy/eroge ones in Fate/Stay Night. But more on this later.

Enter the girls that I have my eyes on in Fate/Zero…

Episode 03 has me shipping these two already and completely rooting for them too.

Why?

Well….
