Overall, I think this was a really cool concept. Later online searches tell me she is named Manaka, and she's actually Ayaka's sister and a main villan. The character who stood out to me blonde girl at the very end who seems to be yandere for male!Saber. During the quick flashes, we get a glimpse at the villlains, all of which seem to be very interesting. The protagonist Ayaka seems to be the generic scared & shy girl type, but then again the OVA didn't really give much time to develop anything.
The Servants have been slightly redesigned, including making Saber male. The characters are similar to Fate/staynight, given that this was the prototype for Staynight. Special mention goes to Gilgamesh's new powers.
There are many battle scenes in the OVA, and they all seem to be really epic. I had to go search online for more info about the characters and such in order to fully understand the OVA. The rest of the OVA is composed of really quick flashes of scenes and battles. However, she gets attacked by Lancer, and ends up summoning Saber. She doesn't want to get involved in the present war (apparently they take place every 8 years now). In this version of the Holy Grail War, the main character is instead a girl called Ayaka, whose family was involved in the previous war. The format is kind of similar to a trailer.įirst of all, the animation is absolutely fantastic, and the soundtrack isn't bad either. This is basically what Fate/staynight could have been.
