NEWS: Fate/Extra Last Encore TV Anime Reveals 3rd Promo Video, Main Cast, New Visual

I don't follow the franchise, however, I do think they could stop making the anime series. Sure, you have plenty of fans.

Shame they went with Male MC again as well, considering they did the same with First Order (which really makes me think it'll be Extella Zero.) Was hoping they'd go with the female MC considering the first trailer and all.

Hmm the fact that these PVs have almost nothing animated on top of the fact that having played Extra, it feels like they're going to need to do some serious work to adapt it into an interesting tv series doesn't inspire a whole lot of faith. Extra is basically the high school magic battle version of Fate, and that is one of the most over used and generic premises. I'm a big fan of Fate and Nero so I'll watch this regardless, but I have serious doubt whether or not it will actually be good.

The fact that we even have PVs this early shows that they are ahead of schedule. PVs dont come out with animation till 1 month to a season before it airs. We had PVs since early 2017. This being the latest. Having this is a sign that animation will be good. Idk where ur basing ur statements from but it sure has hell isnt accurate.

but having a high school setting AND tamamo is overkill; and it does not matter how manby things can go wrong with this, having shinbo there is enough to make me want to watch it.

This was originally intended to be a Fall 2017 show, and was pushed back thanks to SHAFT taking on far too much work for their own good. They aren't really ahead of schedule, and I wouldn't be super confident in this show based on these PVs.

While I'm certain that the female Hakuno is more popular, the story is written where male Hakuno would fit the best. While Saber being bisexual wouldn't be far of stretch since she love beauty in general (and considering which Heroic Spirit she is, it would make sense), but Caster refers even the female Hakuno as her husband. (Well, the main Servant is Saber anyway.)

relyat08, what I stated is what I wish would happen. It's more than likely they will just keep milking it when it already has over 20 anime/manga titles. What have they not animated not besides this?

beside FGO's later arcs and possibly Extella? Fate/Prototype Fragments, Lord El Melloi II Case Files, Fate/Strange Fake.
.
Fragments is probably the next one since it already ended and the main cast already got voice actors (from FGO and the old carnival phantasm OVA). El Melloi and Strange Fake are still ongoing so they'll probably take some time.

Don't forget they also have a second season of 3gatsu to make right now, the Zaregoto OVAs, and they just wrapped up Owari 2, and their Fireworks movie. They have a lot to juggle. And delaying this was absolutely necessary.

I thought it was more widely known by now, considering how much certain circles continue to broadcast it, but Shinbo is NOT directing this. And hasn't directed LITERALLY ANYTHING in over a decade. Miyamoto is directing this. Shinbo is hardly even involved. His only job is to "okay" whatever Miyamoto wants to do. Which, at this point, means he's doing nothing. Miyamoto is more than a competent director though, and you should be reasonably excited based on his previous work, including Madoka Magica and Arakawa.

I guess this is one of those areas of misinformation that will never die thanks, I guess, to credits being the way they are.

Ya thats false. You really think a publisher would have 2 Fate franchises airing at the same time. Both intended to be big hits in their own right. Fate/Apocrypha is 2 cour and will go well into the fall season. All we had was winter 2017 and winter 2017 isnt even a thing winter starts in 2018 for what it was implying when annoucing. And even if it did get pushed back i doubt its SHAFTS fault considering what I stated about Fate/Apocrypha being 2 cour. This being delayed is more speculation rather than actually being delayed. But honestly I doubt it was even inteded for 2017 because all i recalled was them stating "winter 2017"
