Fate/strange Fake is Getting its Own Anime

By Nick Valdez

One of the oddest and most peculiar Fate/stay night spin-off series has announced that it will be getting an official anime adaptation of its own with a new special hitting later this year! Fate/strange Fake is the notable spin-off that was first crafted as an April Fool's Day joke imagining what a Holy Grail War could look like in the United States (but with many notable details that the Americans get wrong for their own version), but soon became the real thing with fans of its own. But soon a whole new wave of fans will be able to check out this new take on the franchise. 

Originally written by Baccano!! series creator Ryogo Narita, the spin-off series had become such a hit with fans for its left field take on the long running franchise that now it's getting ready to launch a whole new anime of its own. Announced during the Aniplex Online Fest 2022 event this weekend, Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- will be making its TV anime debut on December 31st with a special anime that will be released around the world at the same time in multiple languages. Check out the announcement visual and teaser trailer below as released by Aniplex of America: 

Fate/strange Fake will launch with both a Japanese audio with English subtitled and an English dubbed version produced by Aniplex of America. The first additions to the Japanese voice cast include Kana Hanazawa as Ayaka Sajyo, Yuki Ono as Saber, Tomokazu Seki as Archer, and Yu Kobayashi as Lancer. The English voice cast includes Anjali Kunapaneni as Ayaka Sajyo, Ben Balmaceda as Saber, David Vincent as Archer, and Marin Miller as Lancer. The first additions to the main staff have been revealed too with Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume will be directing the special episode for A-1 Pictures, Yukei Yamada will be designing the characters, and Hiroyuki Sawano will be composing the music. 

Fate/strange Fake has yet to get an official English language release as of this writing, so this will be the first time many fans of the original franchise will get to enjoy the spin-off series. It was originally conceived as an American riff on the Holy Grail War seen in many of the other Fate spin-offs, and will likely be dramatically different from anything fans have seen thus far. But are you curious to check out this new special at the end of the year? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
