I honestly found both of them pretty fun ;< Red saber for her boisterous personality and *spoiler* backstory, and caster for having a sharp tongue and a rather sympathetic backstory.

I'd say can't we all just get along as most of us are just expressing our hopes about the character being used but then i remembered we're talking about waifus here... So I'll lower my request to "don't eat each others heads off".

What about Archer's backstory. How did you feel about that one?

I personally liked all three story lines. The gameplay with Caster however was more challenging than I would've liked. Same with Archer actually. The grinding may have affected my enjoyment of their storylines since I never had to do that with Saber.

Within the context of that quote, i was responding generally to the contention between Caster and Saber arguments. I like archer too, its just, he's never going to get a part here. lol
Saber and Caster were made specifically for this game, and although there were differences between this archer and the uh... "other" one, it's generally similar enough that I don't think he'd ever get the spotlight here.

I just hope for me it won't be Shinbou Akiyuki helming the show, as I am really burnt out of his style right now. I watched Zaregoto's first OVA, it was truly great, but his directing style which I've seen a lot over the years makes it feel much less fresh, and with it, less enjoyable right now.

I see, good point i guess. But does the game offer an alternate main character other than the female one (her name is Hakunon i guess)? Or i'm guessing the game lets you choose gender.

All very exciting until the point in that trailer that says next winter. That's not a 2017 anime...that's 2018!

Guess I might as well shelve the anticipation then. At least until next Christmas.

Not a bad move to go with the female protag. Doesn't make a big difference. You could pick male or female for the MC so...it's not wrong to pick the female MC. Though I did think they would go with the standard male lead.

Don't mean to be the bringer of bad (or perhaps good news to some) but there's a quirk in the newest PV thats very uh, well...
points to the fact that the Male MC exists, and may in fact be Nero's Master. The eyes at the end can't be fem Hakuno's, and there is no other relevant game character with golden eyes like that. It is male Hakuno's look and nothing else. So that means both exist?

It looks like this adaption is retroactively creating the different Extra backstories that Nasu made for the Extella servants. Most importantly, we're going to see a lot of Hakunos. _A lot._

Take that information however you all want. Personally I'm disappointed about potentially having Yuri Snubbed out of me, but it won't ruin it for me. Im quite curious how Nasu is going to tie together these rewrites, or what he might change ontop of it, and the story is still good regardless, the theme of loneliness near death is super on stage here as it makes a stronger parallel and connection between whichever Hakuno is the MC and Nero.

I think I've watched the PV a dozen times to try to make out what is going on. At first, I was so hyped about female Hakuno but then I watched it all the way through and saw male Hakuno's eyes. :s Even though the reviving skeleton looks very feminine, it could just be the art though.

But, it seems like it will be based off of Nasu's Extella Zero idea. I have some theories though if male Hakuno is the protagonist:



But yeah, I'm also hoping it's not based off of the events leading up to Extella and something a little fresher.

I'm not sure why nobody has mentioned this yet about the "male MC eyes" at the end, but they used the exact same shape for the eyes for the Fate Extra CCC opening and I think those were Sakura and Rin's eyes. Just saying, I'm not fully convinced that those are Male MC's eyes, but I'm still being cautiously pessimistic. Plus it would sting fairly hard if it would be Male MC since everywhere I've checked people were ecstatic (almost aggressively so) that it was FeMC this time around, especially after that whole Fate/GO animation. This is becoming dangerously close to bait if they showed Female Hakuno and have it male after all in the end.

I really really agree with you. I want fem!Hakuno to star in Last Encore for a variety of reasons, such as the male protagonist always taking spot-light (FGO, Ayaka in Prototype was scrapped for Shirou in FSN) and my undying love for her. But, unless it's a new character, it can only be male Hakuno since no other character in Extra/CCC has those eyes. Here's a comparison i made with Shaft's OP design for CCC: http://imgur.com/a/FqO7N

Plus, this is based from the same game that had you first play

I see your point, but Fate/Extra already announced beforehand that it would have two protagonists. I also agree with you on the eyes, I'm just saying that it might not be 100% male hakuno's eyes since they used the same kind of eyes for female characters in the past.

I also don't see how it's a good move to show Female Hakuno and then revealing it to be male considering how starved Fate is for female master protagonists. Is the starvation for a female master protagonist in Fate only exclusive to the west? I think not, considering female hakuno is far ahead of male hakuno in popularity polls. Seriously, they released an ova for fate/prototype years ago and now we get a fate/apocrypha anime even before that one. I just...

The eyes in CCC's OP were still larger in size and pupil as compared to the pair in the second PV though.

I don't think it's a good move either because, man I was so hyped when I first watched the PV and then got deflated really fast. But, with the tone of the PV, Shaft is trying to be incredibly mysterious about it (I'm also surprised with how spooky it is compared to the source).

I also realized: the two skeletons are entirely different. Female Hakuno gets almost deleted and is saved by the gold light. The ending revival shows her half-deleted state being reformed. The skeleton Nero talks to is fully formed.

Now, a really awful move would be to make female Hakuno the Extra antagonist in place of the original, due to the dark things reviving her, then I'd be more upset, haha.

Sigh, I'll just take it at face value for now. Hakuno gets deleted, turns into a skellington, nero drops down and asks skeletor if she's her master, she gets reformed in the end (that figure looks feminine). Honestly all these people talking about Extella/Zero just decided to pop up as a reaction to this trailer. All that dark purple stuff is just copied from the deletion effect from the game.

I really like though how cautious everyone is lol. Everyone seems to have this feeling that this is too good to be true, and that it's easier to believe that this is bait rather than her and Nero being the pair for the anime since this kind of pairing is unprecedented.

You gave me quite a good laugh haha. Skeletor confirmed for Nero's master.

The feminine figure is female Hakuno being reformed after almost being deleted, by whoever or whatever the golden light is. I certain hopes for things, but it might not turn out that way...well we'll find out more with PV3. I'm excited to finally hear female Hakuno's voice!

There's a STRONG difference between a "fake-out prologue" with random character and marketing your show by baiting a female protagonist only to fridge her for sake of male choice. VERY different implications and problematic nature. It would be REALLY hard to defend Nasu against claims of misogyny and sexism then.

Also Fate/Extella is called Fate/Extella and not Fate/Extra Extella for a reason. They are entirely separate franchises and entirely separate(thankfully) timelines.
This is called Fate/EXTRA for a reason. Promoting this as Fate/Extra only to bait it out into Extella prequel would be deceptive marketing plain and simple. People do not want to see what led to Fate Mass Extelffect 3. People come to "Fate/Extra adaptation" with expectations of seeing a Fate/Extra story tweaked for tv format(as in without grind or repetitiveness)

This was announced on the 31st of December 2016 and for them to say that this will be airing "this winter" would be false because the Winter Anime season doesn't start until January, thus the term "this winter" would = Winter 2016, hence why the promo said "Next Winter" which would mean Winter 2017

I'm pretty sure they announced that this will be dropping in 2017 a while ago anyway
