Fate/Apocrypha
Best Summer Anime 2017
If the title looks a bit familiar to you, that’s because this is a spin-off of sorts to the highly popular Fate/Stay Night. In fact, Fate/Apocrypha is set in a parallel world, so these events are happening at the same time, just… differently. In this timeline, a Ruler is called upon by the House of Einzbern instead of an Avenger, which shifts the entire focus to that of the a war between the Red and Black factions.
It’s a nice twist on the original story, showing what could’ve been, had a different decision been made at the start of it all. The two factions rely on mages and magi which lend themselves to beautiful battles and a deep fantasy tale. The best part is you don’t have to wait for the series to come around every week, as the season released on Netflix just this month.
