Synopsis

Coming from a renowned magus family, Ayaka Sajou is much expected to partake in the Holy Grail War. But ever since her father and sister's demise in the previous battle, she has grown gloomy and unwilling to involve herself in the matters that killed her loved ones. Soon, she finds herself in grave danger at the hands of a knight and ends up summoning her own Servant named Saber. With him by her side, Ayaka ultimately becomes an official participant in the war she initially wanted to avoid so much.

This is basically what Fate/staynight could have been. The format is kind of similar to a trailer.

First of all, the animation is absolutely fantastic, and the soundtrack isn't bad either.

In this version of the Holy Grail War, the main character is instead a girl called Ayaka, whose family was involved in the previous war. She doesn't want to get involved in the present war (apparently they take place every 8 years now). However, she gets attacked by Lancer, and ends up summoning Saber. Who is male.

The rest of the OVA is composed of really quick flashes of scenes and battles. It's confusing to watch, and ...

I WISHED THIS WAS TURNED TO A FULL FLEDGED ANIME SERIES for fate's next 10 anniversary.

The other characters aren't explained much in detail so that the end of that . Music was fitting but ...

Fate/Prototype is not a full-fledged series, or even a proper OVA - instead this is more of a trailer/preview, that was released as a bonus segment with the third season of Carnival Phantasm.

Shirou from the original is now a girl named Ayaka Sajyou, and servant Saber is a man (same hero though). There are many commonalities rules-wise towards how the Holy Grail War works, with the main differences being that in this version, the War takes place every 8 years; also, ...
