About Fate/Prototype

Here is what Fate/Prototype is about, retold in plain terms: an action, fantasy and romance anime by Lerche (2011). In short: Coming from a renowned magus family, Ayaka Sajou is much expected to partake in the Holy Grail War. But ever since her father and sister's demise in the previous fight, she has grown gloomy and unwilling to involve herself in the matters that killed her loved ones.

Along the way, soon, she comes across herself in grave danger at the hands of a knight and ends up summoning her own Servant named Saber. With him by her side, Ayaka ultimately turns into an official participant in the war she initially wanted to avoid so much.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Takahiro Sakurai as Artoria Pendragon and Kazuya Nakai as Cú Chulainn. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Lerche, which means the visual identity of Fate/Prototype follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.3/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Takahiro Sakurai as Artoria Pendragon, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2011, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
