Rebecca Silverman weighs in on Aniplex's deluxe release.― While Fate/Apocrypha does share some basics with the game that started it all, Type-Moon's Fate/Stay Night, it's really best to think of it as totally separate from the story of Shirou, Rin...
What's the difference between a "union dub" and a "non-union dub" and why does it matter?
