Shaft Producing Fate/Extra The Last Encore Anime Series

Written By Samantha Ferreira March 27, 2016

The Grail War will begin anew with familiar, yet very different faces.

Yesterday, at AnimeJapan 2016, the The Fate Project panel announced that Fate/Extra is getting a televised anime adaptation. The series, which is titled Fate/Extra Last Encore, is scheduled for a 2017 première. Studio Shaft (Bakemonogatari, Puella Magi Madoka Magica) will produce the adaptation.

Series creator Kinoko Nasu is in charge of series composition on the project.

The project’s official website also opened yesterday with a teaser trailer and a visual, which you can check out below. Red Saber takes center stage in both features:
