No, Orlando and his police force are not working to keep normal people safe, for all his talk about 'justice' in the Whisper of Dawn OVA; he has his own agenda.

I'm already shipping AyakaxSaber. I mean, nothing is more romantic than one half wanting nothing to do with the other and getting arrested together, right?

I'm a long time Type Moon fan, and admittedly exhausted of all things Fate at this point. Although, disclaimer, I've preferred Tsukihime over Fate in general.

That said...I have to admit everything I've heard about this version is intriguing, and I'll be there for the full series. Although, uhh, this time I think I'll wait until we're sure it's actually running...

I've long stopped being excited by Fate stuff, but I also can't help but wonder what a Ryohgo Narita take on it all would be like. Having dozens of unusual characters all getting caught up in crazy shenanigans is kinda his forte.

With production and style THIS GOOD, especially the dub, I'll come back for Fate/Anything EVERYTHING!

I particularly like it when it's more dark and edgy and badass.

Grand Order was much lighter compared to Zero, Heaven's Feel, and even UBW. Even the El Melloi spin-off was cool. So I guess I prefer when the Grail Wars are set in contemporary settings rather than fantasy ones.

Fake so far hits everything I like!

Too bad the actual season's start is far away... I honestly wouldn't mind if they released an episode monthly.

Believe me. I'm going to be waiting for this show. This looks interesting and I think I'm going to like it a lot. I hope we see it soon. It looks like it's going to be a good one,but as Levar Burton said on "Reading Rainbow,""Don't take my word for it." Go and see it for yourself. I think I'm going to like this one a whole lot.

I think you think Saber is the male version of King Arthur, since you called his weapon Excalibur. Just to come out and say it and prevent a misunderstanding to readers, Saber is Richard the First of England, Richard the Lionheart. Maybe I should also mention vampires dont exist in Fate works, no Dead Apostles Ancestors and vampires exist in the same capacity, numbers and strength, as Tsukihime. Without going too deep in it, Human Order is weak in Tsukihime and allows vampires to be as rampant as they are in that universe while with Fate, Human Order is strong and allows for Heroic spirits and the Throne of Heroes to exist. FSF is odd since it does have Tsukihime lore and mechanics in here.

You have no idea. Even as a consumer of Fate, boy, Nartia is bonkers with this story and really expanded the lore of, not just Fate, TYPEMOON works in general.

So in the fateverse there are many versions of King Arthur? I remember Shirou faces one in the Snow movie who even had the Excalibur but he dies after a clash the Shirou who used the power of Archer.

He is talking about the Saber from Fate/Protoype. Narita is obviously referencing that work with his MCs in Strange Fake, since the FMC of Prototype was also Ayaka. Fate/Grand Order declared Prototype to be an alternative universe to get an excuse to add Proto!Saber.

Also, Oath Snow has nothing to do with any of that. Because in the kaleid verse people get the power of servants by using the cards, even in a world where King Arthur is a woman a man can use her card.

No, having read the light novels, they definitely are trying to keep civiilians safe in all this. That's a huge part of where there agenda differs from Faldeus

As interesting as this seems, Narita's ineptitude with romance makes me dread whatever pairings the series might have later on.

I've read 8 of the 9 volumes and there is no canon romance to speak of. Just fan shipping

Isaac and Miria are an inept romance?
