And I still don't have a proper Prototype anime.
To say I'm bitter would be an understatement.
while Fate Prototype definitely has similar themes and ideas that have been already explored in the original Stay Night series, I feel like there is enough difference that Prototype could appeal to a very different and much wider audience than the original Stay Night could (And no, not just because there are quite a few pretty bishounen boys to look at or it might appeal to the shoujo/josei crowd), as while the premise is somewhat the same, there is enough differences between characters like Ayaka to Shirou, Arthur to Arturia, etc. and even the way the rules of this holy grail war is set up that you could tell a much different story.
TM absolutely knows that Prototype has potential, that Arthur and Proto Cu are very popular among fans, and the success of Fate Prototype Fragments as both an LN and drama CD, but also what has been explored of these characters in FGO and the subsequent merchandise that has come shows that they are not blind to knowing that people are curious to this idea.
My only hope is that TM is still trying to figure out how to tell a different story with Prototype and Prototype Fragments than the story that was told in Stay Night, and that the delay of a proper Fate Prototype anime is due to this.
