Fate/Prototype

I have a distaste for the Fate series overall. Just the premise is a very intriguing idea but most of the series squanders all that potential. Fate/Prototype is what I wish became of the series. Could have produced a show that is objectively far better than all the trash they are making now.

2021 will be the 10 year anniversary of the original release of this OVA.

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.

Story (9/10): The Fate Story remains the same. There are 7 Masters and 7 Servants battling for the Holy Grail, a treasure that can grant any wish. The last Master alive gets the Holy Grail. This story is very greatly executed in this short OVA, which is kind of a trailer or a preview to the world of Fate/Prototype.

Art (10/10): There is nothing bad to say about the art. It is simply outstanding. The characters and their surrounding are drawn amazingly.

Sound (9/10): The sound is very exciting and goes with the whole OVA. The background magic is amazingly composed. The voice actors also ... do an amazing job.

Character (8/10): There are good characters, but once again the main character is sort of lacking in a real distinguished personality. Overwise, the characters are amazing.

Enjoyment (9/10): Very fast-paced and lovely combat. I'm not sure what was, but maybe I wanted this to be a whole series instead of an OVA.

Overall (9/10): Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this OVA and it makes me curious about the world of Fate/Prototype. It has amazing art, an amazingly executed story and great voice acting and background music.
