There are many things I liked about Fate/Zero. But by far my favorite was the protagonist’s willingness to pull a gun. I’d be a happier lad if more anime characters said yes to violence and no to friendship. And with the newest TYPE-MOON addition, Fate/strange Fake, bringing the Holy Grail War to American soil! Can I get a banzai for waifus with AR-15s!? Luckily, the drawn-out wait for the newest Fate anime is short, as Fate/strange Fake premieres January 3, 2026! And the anime’s production team has released a “TRUE” (spelled TRVE if you listen to Black Metal) trailer to stoke the hype. A new key visual has also been released.
13.3g will perform the anime’s ending song, “Senzaiteki na Ai.”

Ryohgo Narita (author) and Shizuki Morii (illustrator) launched the Fate/strange Fake light novel in January 2025. ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko publishes the series. A-1 Pictures will animate the upcoming adaptation.
A-1 Pictures released a prequel TV special, Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn, in 2023. The first Fate/strange Fake episode was released on December 31, 2024. The anime’s voice actors include:
- Kana Hanazawa as Ayaka Sajyo

Taking place decades after the Third Holy Grail War, Fate/strange Fake follows a bastardized American version of the magical conflict. Improperly copied by American mages, this Holy War quickly devolves into a deadly affair.
Crunchyroll will stream Fate/strange Fake.
