The official website of the Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn special anime announced on Wednesday that its broadcast will be postponed due to production issues. The anime was originally scheduled to premiere on December 31.

Shun Enokido (Manga de Wakaru! Fate/Grand Order) and Takahito Sakazume (Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2 episode director) are directing the television anime at A-1 Pictures. Daisuke Oohigashi (Mahoujin Guruguru (2017)) is handling the script, and Yuukei Yamada (Fate/Apocrypha) is designing the characters. Hiroyuki Sawano (86) is composing the music.

Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn adapts Ryohgo Narita's action fantasy light novel, which originally began as an April Fools joke on Narita's homepage, titled Fake/states night. It was presented as a prologue and introduction to a role-playing game. The second volume of TYPE-MOON Ace reissued it as a stand-alone novel form under the title Fate/strange Fake in January 2009.

Kadokawa began publishing it through its Dengeki Bunko imprint in January 2015, featuring illustrations by Shizuki Morii (Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia). The seventh volume went on sale on March 10.

Type-Moon concurrently began releasing a manga adaptation by Narita and Morii digitally under its Type-Moon Books imprint the same month as the light novel, with Kadokawa publishing the print version. The fifth volume was shipped on February 10.

Too bad, that would have been a fun New Years treat.

Apparently one of the staff misplaced the Holy Grail, so it's delayed because of that.

Noo the year won't be good unless there is Fate on December 31st. Next year might be the apocalypse after all.

You get something from Fate, and then it gets delayed.. not the kind of joke anyone would've wanted to turn into reality.

I agree.

Sad news. Hope it is because of the TV series production.

proof that how busy or how much anime projects a studio have determines the production health and quality

im usually hearing this misinformation that every anime has different core staff so it does not matter how many anime projects a studio will have but that is just wrong since the supporting staff which is the majority of an anime staff count plays a bigger role and this supporting staff are mainly part of the anime studio that works on multiple anime projects within the studio for example the production assistants

Just if A-1 do everything alone, without outsorce some parts of the animation to other studios
And we already know that they won't

Is this a result of A1 taking on a bazillion projects all at once?

No, every project has different teams
The fate delay was a fate problem only
