Synopsis:
Fourteen Legendary Spirits unite in a clandestine struggle for the Holy Grail. In the tumultuous atmosphere of World War II, a mage flees with the Grail, leaving behind a devastated city called Fuyuki. Decades later, the Yggdmillennia clan, now holders of the chalice, breaks away from the Mage Association, proclaiming its independence. In retaliation, the Association sends assassins, only to encounter fierce resistance from the Yggdmillennia Servants. The decision is made: the Servants' war expands into two factions, each with seven warriors. Thus begins the Great Holy Grail War, an unprecedented battle in Trifas, Romania.
Thus, the anime adaptation of the Fate/Apocrypha novels by TYPE-MOON and Yuichiro Higashide premiered on Japanese television and on Netflix in Japan in July 2017, running for a total of 25 episodes. The anime premiered on Netflix in all other territories outside Japan, the United States, and Canada that December. The second half premiered in the United States in February 2018.
Higashide wrote the script for the anime Tokunana, the anime Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit, and several others. He also wrote the light novel Date A Live Fragment: Date A Bullet, which was adapted into two films in 2020.
Finally, Ishida was the artist behind the manga MAOYU – Archenemy and Hero and the manga Oninagi.
