SANTA MONICA, CA (December 1, 2011) – Aniplex of America Inc. announced today that the Fate/Zero - Blu-ray Disc Box I will be imported from Japan and released in North America on March 7th, 2012 through anime distributor Right Stuf.com. This highly anticipated release—featuring thirteen episodes with unaired, new footage, all subtitled in English over five Blu-ray discs—is the latest example of the company's objective to expedite its line-up of wildly popular properties to North America. Fans in North America can take comfort in knowing this BD box set will be released simultaneously with Japan's release date, and will mark the first time that Fate/Zero - Blu-ray Disc Box I is officially made available in North America. In addition, Aniplex of America will include an English translation booklet to accompany the featured Production Material booklet in the North American release.

?We're very excited that we can bring this fan-favorite title to North America at the same time it is being released in Japan, says Hideki Goto, the president of Animation Business of Aniplex of America. ?Like our previous releases of The Garden of Sinners and Rurouni Kenshin, this project comes from our continuous challenge to deliver the latest shows as soon as possible.

Aniplex originally simulcasted Fate/Zero worldwide in association with niconico, now I'm glad to announce the BD release date to the North American audience will be the same street date as in Japan. I have no doubt this Fate/Zero - Blu-ray Disc Box I will satisfy not only the Fate/stay night fans who enthusiastically waited for this show, but also all those who want to watch the most recent and sophisticated anime show to date. It's our hope that you'll find this a worthy showpiece to add to your collection to enjoy and treasure repeatedly.
