Nice. I saw the special today and it had solid animation quality so hope they can put their same talent to work on this.

That key visual looks good too.

I'm not sure myself...

Shingetsutan Tsukihime is, AFAIK, first anime adaptation of anything Type-Moon, but considering that famous There is no Tsukihime anime." meme, which mean many VN readers were unhappy with it, I think it would be nice towards those loyal fans to finally get Tsukihime anime that is closer to what they wish it to be.

I will gladly pass on this. I am over with Fate/Type-Moon stuff. They have not really made anything nearly as good as KnK stuff. F/Z was not bad but lost interest in FSN.

Good for fans of the franchise, I guess?

After the latest Fate spin-offs, my expectations are practically zero. I liked FSN/Zero and Prisma Illya but I am starting to get bored of the franchise.

It should be Rail Zeppelin. レール・ツェッペリン. The title is the same title of volumes 4 and 5 of the novel.

Excited for this. The pilot episode was done well, though people may be off put by all the talking. Love the voice cast as well. Two Fate anime in 2019 is a win and something to look forward to.

Hmm another Fate spin-off.Well definitely gonna watch this too.But i hope this will not be an absolute garbage like Fate/Extra boy that was a disaster. By the way like to see a Fate/Grand order TV adaptation as well i kinda liked the movie.In the meantime i'm gonna watch Fate/Apocrypha and Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan.

Hey look, more Fate crap. This time, featuring the obnoxious whiny kid from the prequel as an adult and his team of generic anime side characters. It's also written by the guy behind the universally renown and acclaimed Rental Magica and produced by the studio that brought us the absolutely riveting Aldnoah Zero and Re:Creators. And unsurprisingly, the first episode features a truck load of random magical technobabble that the majority of viewers simply doesn't give a damn about.

Boy, this sure sounds like a recipe for a great anime! /s

It's weird for Waver to still be around without Alexander or without taking part in any more Grail Wars.

What would be cool IMO is to see another mage summon Alexander and in his Ionoi Hetairoi Waver is there as a supporting role, bantering around.

fsn has garbage characters, garbage plot, and the entire thing is a fucking joke,
i dont think i have explain the spinoffs, so only decent adaptation is fate/zero, now if a franchise has 1 good part out of 100, then thats pretty fucking garbage for me

Of course he's trolling. His name is literally AnimeSucks420. And he unironically gave an anime a 1/10 even though it's animation alone should average the score to at least a 3/10. He just wants to trigger people by hating on a popular anime.

And Mahoyo/Tsukihime keep being left behind...at least they are emptying the Fate options so fast. Soon they wont have anything else to adapt sans non-Fate stuf.

What's left, HA, SF, Prototype Fragments and more FGO arcs? SF is not ending anytime soon, Requiem is just begining.

Well, I would not mind Salem and Prototype adaptation, to be honest...


ps: 2006 Fate was not bad, even having low budget and like 4 episodes of filler (so what, nobody misses Caster attack on Emiya house and being killed by Gil in like, 15 minutes...at least Kojirou and Kuzuki did something), it still had more soul than UBW.

They adapted Himuro no Tenchi manga as a special crossoving with FGO.


That's very scrapping the barrel. Expect adaptations of Capsule Servants, Tiger Coliseum, and many things nobody asked for.


Mahouka and Tsukihime will keep being left alone.

It will be the next(In timeline) after Fate/Stay Night: UBW.

You can see Lord El-Melloi II/Waver Velvet in the aftermath of Fate/Stay Night, passing by Shirou.

Waver Velvet was the master of Rider in the Fate/Zero series.

This is actually Fate series that is canon but doesn't use the word "Fate" in it's title.
I think It's because there will be no holy grail and servants involved in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
