While I liked and could recognize one or two tracks from Fate/Zero, that was about the extent of my engagement with it until I came across this interview with composer Yuki Kajiura. There were a few interesting points in it, the first being that the anime's main theme revolved around one frame-matched track: "the beginning… Continue reading OST Spotlight: “the beginning of the end” of Fate/Zero
