During the Aniplex Online Festival 2024, the company announced that the world premiere of the Fate/strange Fake anime adaptation will occur in Los Angeles at the Fate 20th Anniversary Showcase on November 23, 2024.
Additionally, Saber’s voice actor, Yuko Ono, will attend the event in person. New character key art for Tiné, Archer, Silver Wolf, and Lancer was also revealed.
Fate/strange Fake is a light novel series that began being penned by Ryohgo Narita in 2015, though its actual origins are an April Fool’s joke from the author in 2008. The narrative follows an imperfectly copied version of the Third Holy Grail War called the False Holy Grail War, comprising several Masters and Servants who are either “True” or “False.”

The following cast comments were shared:
Sumire Morohoshi (voice of Tiné Chelc)
This is Sumire Morohoshi, voice of Tiné Chelc. The sheer scale of the story in Episode 0 alone left me reeling and very much looking forward to seeing how the TV series unfolds! I’ll do my best to convey all of Tiné’s charms. Thank you.
Tomokazu Seki (voice of Archer)
I’m delighted to say that I’ve spent quite a long time with Archer. Because of that, I’ve grown comfortable with this character, so I think the recording process was very smooth this time. He tends to appear in high places, but where and how will he show up this time? Keep your eyes peeled!
Yu Kobayashi (voice of Lancer)
Hello, everyone. My name is Yu Kobayashi, and I play the role of Lancer in Fate/strange Fake. I’m so grateful for your continued support of this series, and I’m deeply touched to be a part of bringing Lancer to life in the world of Fate/strange Fake. I love this character, and I’ll take great care in their performance. I hope you enjoy the series once it arrives. Thank you all so much.
