There have been many “casualties” in the medium of anime as a result of the Corona Virus pandemic and it looks like the Fate/Stay series is the next in line as the third film in the trilogy of Fate/Stay Heaven’s Feel has been delayed from its original release later this month. Ufotable, the animation studio responsible for the insanely popular anime series Demon Slayer, have been working on the Fate/Stay series for some time, so we’re definitely crossing our fingers that fans will be able to see the film sooner rather than later!
