Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- Information
This special will act as the prequel for the upcoming TV anime series, which was confirmed tonight. You can check out a summary of this special below, straight from its Crunchyroll page:
In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire. Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield.
Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather… A missing Servant class… Impossible Servant summonings… A nation shrouded in secrecy… And a city created as a battleground. In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness. Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail.
Fate/strange Fake is a light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Shizuki Morii. It was originally an April Fool’s joke that ended up getting turned into a series.
