The highly anticipated Fate/Strange Fake anime series is finally revealing its secrets! Aniplex has released a new promotional video, showcasing the ending theme song 'Senzaiteki na Ai' by 13.3g. But here's where it gets exciting: the video also includes a sneak peek of the anime's opening theme, 'Provant,' performed by the dynamic duo of SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Jean-Ken Johnny and TAKUMA.
This anime adaptation of Ryohgo Narita's Fate/strange Fake spinoff is a highly anticipated project, especially after its initial premiere was delayed. The series will debut on January 3rd, with a 90-minute special episode, followed by the first episode of the main series. The cast includes renowned voice actors like Kana Hanazawa, Yūki Ono, and Sumire Morohoshi, reprising their roles from the Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- special.
Speaking of the special, it premiered in Japan back in July 2023 and is now available on Crunchyroll with an English dub. The special is based on Narita's original story, which began as an April Fool's joke in 2008 and later evolved into a full-fledged light novel series with illustrations by Shizuki Morii. The ninth volume of the light novel was published in March 2024, and a manga adaptation is also in the works.
The Fate/Strange Fake anime is directed by Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume, with scripts by Daisuke Daitō and character designs by Yūkei Yamada. The music is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, known for his work on Attack on Titan and Mobile Suit Gundam UC. With such a talented team, fans can expect an immersive and captivating anime experience.
And this is the part most people miss: the anime's website also unveiled a 'Night ver.' second key visual, adding to the anticipation. The series will be available on Crunchyroll in various regions, including North America, Europe, and Oceania. The English-subbed version of the first episode was even released at the 'Fate 20th Anniversary Showcase' event, offering a taste of what's to come.
But here's where it gets controversial: some fans might be disappointed that the series is not available on other popular streaming platforms. And with the anime's connection to the Fate franchise, there's sure to be differing opinions on how it compares to other entries in the series. What do you think?
