 An official site opened and revealed that light novel Fate/Apocrypha will be getting a TV anime adaptation for 2017. The staff has also been announced. Synopsis The setting of Fate/Apocrypha is a parallel world to Fate/stay night where the Greater Grail was removed from Fuyuki after the Third Holy Grail War and disappeared for many years. Around the 2000s, around the same time as the Fifth Holy Grail War would have happened, the group that plundered the Grail, Yggdmillennia, openly declares their secession from the Mage's Association and that they are in possession of the Grail. The Association dispatches fifty magi to retrieve it, but all but one are instantly slaughtered by Lancer of Black. The one remaining manages to activate the reserve system of the Greater Grail, allowing for the summoning of fourteen Servants in total. This marks the start of the Great Holy Grail War in Trifas, featuring two different factions, the Black Faction, whose members are part of Yggdramillennia, and the Red Faction, whose members were sent by the Mage's Association with the exception of one from the Church. The Grail itself also summons Ruler to act as a mediator of the Holy Grail War.

Been reading the series for this. I'm pretty excited. 2017 will be year of Fate again! |
Omg look awesome, will watch it for sure.  |
So, in 2017 we will have: -HF movies -Fate/Extra -Prillya movie -And this Apocrypha adaptation Plus Grand Order special. What a time to be a Fatefag. The salt will be delicious. Also expecting the obligatory Nakata role every Fate adaptation has.    |
Whew, here comes the Apo. Hopefully this won't kill the mainstream interest in fate. Because, let's be frank. Apo is baaaaaaad. The first half is half-decent but the last half is the definition of trainwreck ride. It would be awful to fate being bad stigma increasing with this before F/E comes out. At least it is A1, just like I guessed for years, so no actually good studio is bothered to make this.   |
i have mixed opinions with the fate series (loved F/Z but F/SN was meh personally) might give it a shot, depending how its going. Modified by DatRandomDude, Dec 31, 2016 7:59 AM |
pretty Colours will watch. :)  |
I wonder if we will get the same amount of shitstorm like Fate Stay Night.  |
Glad A1 is making this, would've been a shame if a good studio wasted their time with it. Fate in general doesn't deserve anything worthwhile, but the fandom is so inexplicably large, lol.  :3 |
A-1 and LN? well..........wtv will watch for salt I guess.  |
Yes, Yes fucking YES ! sorry for my expression but man i am done, 2017 will be my year :) KaiserNazrin said: I wonder if we will get the same amount of shitstorm like Fate Stay Night. Well, yes im sure we did, because there are fans and "fans" but, some need to understand that "Fate" is no longer just VN(which btw was great thing) but a big franchise with many media and this franchise will only grow.

Hmm,Fate anime with a Saberface I actually like... Christmas Miracle!! ; ) |
Yaaayy more Fate is always welcome!  "If fate is a millstone, then we are the grist...there is nothing we can do. So I wish for strength, if I cannot protect them from the wheel, then give me a strong blade and enough strength...to shatter fate!!" "Sometimes it sucks being the understanding one" |
Nice. Even though Apocrypha's ending is bad, I like all the servants so I'll definitely watch it. Said in the most homosexual way possible |
A-1 pitcures..... uhmmm I don't know 'bout this... at least it's decent.... |
For a second I thought it was Ufotable before reading it's A-1 Pictures, looks like they stepped up their sound and visual design in order to be consistent with Ufotable. That can only be a good thing. "The sea spills over the doorsill into the room, and the cockroaches scramble to escape by crawling up the walls. Those not quick enough are caught in the swirling current and float up with it or lie on their backs pretending to be dead." |
looks good, will watch this for sure since im interested on Joan of Arc as a servant |
More fate always welcome...  |
Glad Fate is going strong as always, even though this specific project looks less exciting than most recent and other upcoming one's. Heard the LN is not so good. Still, Gotta watch em' all. And become the very best Fate Master. Modified by Andralamusia, Dec 31, 2016 8:43 AM |
Dare no me..?So much things going on in this Fate franchise, glad I'm not that much involved in all this mess man. Will probably watch the anime, and that's pretty much it.  |
>Apocrypha adaptation Cool. >A1 Pictures Cold. |
>mfw we got all these fate anime but no new info about Tsukihime Remake I'm starting to think that Nasu is doing this Intentionally to make us angry or something |
I am the ice age sequels of 2017 Fate is my body and ufotable is my blood I have created over a thousand fate adaptations Unknown to the shitposting ahead Nor known to who's gonna bitch about the adaptations this time Have withstood shitstorms to create many installments to the franchise Yet, those hands will never hold anything So as I pray, unlimited Fate threads 2017 looks great  |

Going mainstream and targeting lowest common denominator is not a good thing. A lot of things tend to grow. Not all of them are beneficial for the whole. Like for example cancer. Apo is second worst fate work ever written and it is bound to drive off even more intellectual people from the franchise further installing the idea that its worthless. |
Nice, Fate get a lot of love and I'm gonna be an asshole and say your favorite manga will never get an anime adaption. |

That's your opinion, and i respect it. |
I can't wait to rate another Fate shit 1/10. There’s no freedom quite like the freedom of being constantly underestimated. |
Not a fan of fate Still gonna watch it for the action scenes "Yes, I have no reason to take part in the Absurd and Unreasonable real world" Keima Katsuragi "The real world is scary. It’s pain to deal with other people" Shiori Shiomiya best girl never win .... feelsbadman |
All these haters lol,so lame. Fate is and will always be an awesome franchise,accept it.  |
the pv looks good. and i have red few chapters from the manga and i think it was great. >see another fate getting adapted into tv series >great visual >getting exited >see A-1picture... i don't know how to feel tbh. the pv looks good in my opinion. i mean the visual. it looks badass in my view. but we don't know what will happen in the full tv series....moreover knowing a-1 making it. would be a hit or a miss. i just hope it will be a hit cause there are few badass characters that i want to see in action xD lol so may haters tho. didn't expect that tbh. why always bother the people who are liking the show that they think it's shit tho... i just don't know how they mind works.  |
Uhhh... my big problem isn't A-1 Pictures honestly with this (because A-1 as a studio is just mediocre, they're not bad, at least theyre not Arms bad), moreso the staff is my big problem of mix bag. The director, as far as I am concerned, only directed one series (which is Charlotte), and it kinda feels mixed. It's not merely his fault for the show but the directing for this was... okay at best? At the very least? Not really sure how to even put it correctly. Series Composition is the same author which is a plus I guess from there, so maybe perhaps people will get their adaptation working but then again I remembered last time from someone being part of the script but the series weren't still solid. Music is probably going to be amazing because of the composer, so I'm pretty excited for that honestly. Hopefully this might turn alright or good, who knows.  |

Expect a lot of shitstorms from a lot of people, that can't really be denied (well considering I haven't been into a shit storm here but I have been on Facebook with Fate fans... it's not pretty) |
So many fate anime. I'm happy !! I can't wait to see Rider of Black. She looks so hot ! |
Illyricus said: KaiserNazrin said: It's Fate we talk about. That's pretty much assured.I wonder if we will get the same amount of shitstorm like Fate Stay Night. A "shitstorm" only happens when a good source material gets bad adaptations. In case of Apocrypha, its so low in quality that it can only be improved. The only possible shitstorm will be more of people who never read the rest of nasuverse deciding to use Apo as the basis to shit on it. The very fact that this is directed by the GENIUS who created the messy mess that was Charlotte already speaks miles a bout studio's expectations for quality. Modified by Fai, Dec 31, 2016 10:24 AM |

But it isn't his fault for the directing the show though. Personally I found his okay, but not actually anything amazing for his end. At least "okay" is better than "bad" per say honestly. .-. Also the PV looks nothing spectacular either but it can be more of a fun ride in a sense (by the way I haven't read the source but I'm just looking more at whats showcasing me) |
Ah God, we're living now in the Fate-age... FUCK, this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |
Great. Some characters and the first half of LN is great, so it should have been animated someday. Also, Apo haters never stop amusing me when they say Apocrypha is bad while their favorite F/SN VN is mediocre at best. |
I enjoyed reading F/A even though I generally dislike Fate as a franchise. And I have mixed feelings about this. Obviously A1-Pictures being the choice studio is one problem in mind, but the staff choice is the thing that really bugs me. I am going to have low hopes for this. |
Fai said: Because, let's be frank. Apo is baaaaaaad. The first half is half-decent but the last half is the definition of trainwreck ride. Have you actually tried to read novels, or you simply believe all those slanders around? Apocrypha is decent. And as anime will definitely work much better. |
Even though most of the Fate series are pretty lame, I'm actually really happy about this. Best trap to be animated, PogChamp PogChamp |

There's absolutely nothing decent about second half of apocrypha. Apocrypha is like a train. it takes off well enough for a promising journey and then midway through the train operator takes a brilliant logic jump at trying to fuck the train engine, just as the bridge they are about to go through falls apart resulting in the weirdest and most disjointed trainwreck possible. |
Adapt ALL the Fate series #2017  |
Fate franchise just like Gundam is still going strong. |

Because a lot of people like the premise even for all the flaws of each Fate series well that is how Im a big fan of Fate anyway. Its a fun franchise that always generates discussions and debates that is why up to this day the community is still going strong. |
Really, there are just (from the game area) Fate/hollow Ataraxia, Extalla and CCC (though, basically are CCC and Extella almost the same with Extra) what missing from the Anime-Fate-adaptation list, but we could quiet the tea set and await the announcement for...xD But we didn't spoken about the book area from Type-Moon yet, like about Fate/Prototype (Yeah, I know that even this has been adapted, but not as full adaptation...xD) Hmm... To be honest, I'd really see the announcement: where ufotable finally Mahoutsuaki no Yoru adapting would! Modified by Tenryuu1, Dec 31, 2016 12:18 PM |
>A-1 Pictures. Yeah... Can't wait for some QUALITY animation.  |
But if F/A already a PV with anime-appearance/look has, then we could guess that they already at Spring 2017 this air could, or? |
Fai said: False, most of the fights are still good, the problem is the new harem dynamic and weak leads. Everything outside of them is still fine. v5 is a pretty good show of this, with everything being pretty good until the final fight climax.ukulelembo said: Have you actually tried to read novels, or you simply believe all those slanders around?
