So just to be clear, this thread is for discussing episode 0, correct?

In what capacity are Fate/Zero spoilers allowed here? Even though Fate/Zero takes place before Fate/Stay Night it was written with the assumption that the reader/vieuwer was familiar with the Fate/Say Night visual novel. It has some events which are spoilers for F/SN, but not everything in it is a spoiler for F/SN.

I think you misunderstood something. The first airing episode of F/SN UBW will be officially numbered as "episode 0" and will last 60 minutes. I think Graskell is referring to that.

Though I wondered about F/Z spoilers in here as well. Or should we have another topic for that?

I was aware of that, I just thought the spoiler policy wasn't clear on Fate/Zero's status.

I would definitely keep Zero spoilers under marked spoiler tags for many of the same reasons you posted. While It's reasonable to assume that a large percentage of the viewer base will have seen Zero, these aren't the Fate/Zero threads and watching Zero isn't a requirement for enjoying the new show.

Edit: I don't see the point in having separate discussion threads so long as people are mindful about tagging things. We already have a general spoiler thread for this show; anything that wouldn't fit here could go there.

That could work.

EDIT:

Spoilers or hints about future events must not be posted in this thread.

Does this include Heaven's Feel spoilers? Heaven's Feel is technically not part of the Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Work TV series, but is getting its own movie adaption after the TV series is done. Can Heaven's Feel spoilers be posted under spoiler tags or are they not allowed to be posted at all? I would assume the latter.

There are two 1-hour-episodes:
"Episode 0" which airs today and "Episode 1" which airs next week. Both have been already shown in a limited amount of theaters world-wide a week ago.

But I'd really like to know about the spoiler policy as well. I already asked about it once but no answer yet.

When exactly does this come out?

[Nayrael]

It will air in Japan in 51 minutes (Source)

It should take a few hours at most for the English episode to be out.

[Theminimanx]

It airs on Crunchyroll in 3.5 hours. No idea about fansubs. (Am I even allowed to ask who's subbing it?)

Posting that this should be named Episode 0 instead of Episode 1 doesn't really solve anything, since the mods likely don't visit the thread after it's created unless they watch it, at which point odds are they'll only look at the more recent posts, which would be content related.

In other words... anyone PM'd a mod yet?

[White Manju Bun]

Thread title fixed.

Edit: For F/Z related stuff, tag it, just make sure your post isnt all F/Z since too much will be considered off topic.

The thread title still seem to be of episode 1 and could you clarify our questions about the spoiler policy?

[White Manju Bun]

I just did in my edit.

[GDB]

Awesome, thanks for the fix.
