Fate/Prototype

   Know that Fate/Prototype; before Fate/Stay Night was around as we know it, the creator Kinoko Nasu had many prior thoughts of what FSN could be like. As a teen in high school this was actually the original concept he came up with before they where entirely reworked for the Visual Novel.

   The Fate/Prototype is the original version of Fate/Stay Night (FSN) before it was completely redone into the FSN Visual Novel as it is today. Substantial changes were made to the script and characters to get the FSN Visual Novel underway. So with that being said all the original characters, and concepts return to before they were either changed completely or altered in some way or another (for instance Saber being a male instead of female). As of now it is still left in an unfinished state, and that no more adaptions other than this 12 minute OVA will be made.

   Once again Type-Moon’s artwork and animation skills are top notch. The character designs are very nice clean, and concise. The backgrounds are very spectacular especially with the city given a more realistic layout and feel. There isn’t as much CGI this time around though, but there is some(as with the Noble Phantasms). The color palate is also great as usual with bright colors being brilliant and dark colors being deep. Everything just looks pretty wonderful. 

   I highly recommend people who are fans of the Fate Franchise to watch Fate/Prototype to see where it all started from. It fascinated me on how much things changed, and it should also do the same for other fans. So just watch it, and see how interesting it can be.

This time, the masters are all females as well as the servants are all males.
