Dark Horse To Adapt Fate/Zero Into English, Introducing Saber To The USA

In December, Dark Horse is adapting the Fate/Zero manga into English.

Originally this was a prose prequel to the Fate/Stay Night visual novel – a very popular project itself never translated, though with a popular bootleg subscription.

Fate/Zero was made into a hit anime by Ufotable, and now is available on Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll streaming.

Ufotable are also also adapting Fate/Stay Night's second story pathway Unlimited Blade Works for simulcasting next month.

It's an intriguing situation, the Fate/Stay Night visual novel lets players/readers choose their own story paths and has three completely divergent paths: Fate/Stay Night, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel – and each can be adapted into non-interactive media separately.

Fate/Stay Night was adapted into an anime a few years ago, Unlimited Blade Works had a feature-lengthed adaptation as well, but this new full-length TV series adaptation will be more faithful and less condensed.

Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero star Saber, a medieval English knight as a teenage girl, resurrected to fight in a magical war who turns out to be King Arthur, as the history books were changed to disguise her true gender and age.

Sabre is so popular she's practically production company Type-Moon's official mascot. Sabre statues and action figures are massive sellers in Japan and among anime fans in the West and Fate/ Stay Night has become one of the bigger manga/anime franchises in Japan.

And looks like Dark Horse will be reaping that aplenty!
