The Fate/strange Fake TV anime adaptation will begin airing sometime in 2025. The announcement comes after the Japanese dub version of its first episode had an advance broadcast during the Fate Project New Year’s Eve TV Special 2024.
There are also character visuals for Hansa Cervantes (Katsuyuki Konishi) and the Quartet, as well as a preview for the show’s second episode.
Crunchyroll previously streamed the dubbed version of the first Fate/strange Fake episode on its YouTube channel for one week.
Fate/strange Fake is based on the Dengeki Bunko light novels written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Shizuki Morii. The Type-Moon wiki describes the light novel series, one of the many titles in the massive Fate multimedia franchise, as:
Fate/strange Fake takes place around 2009. The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London-based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki’s Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which led to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of “hero” being blurred.
The Fate/strange Fake light novels began publication in 2015 and have nine volumes as of March 2024. The books previously received a TV commercial storyboarded and unit directed by the TV series’ co-director Takahito Sakazume.
There was also a TV special titled Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-, which premiered at Anime Expo 2023, Crunchyroll, and Japanese television after missing its original premiere as part of an earlier Fate Project New Year’s Eve TV Special. The TV anime was announced in July 2023.
