LiSA, ASCA perform new theme songs

The official website for the Fate/Apocrypha anime began streaming a promotional video on Saturday to preview the anime's second cours. (Note: The video on the show's official website is region-locked to Japan.) The video also reveals and previews the show's new theme songs. LiSA is performing the new opening theme song "ASH," and ASCA is performing the new ending theme song "KOE."


The site also revealed a new key visual.

The anime will have a total of 25 episodes. The anime aired an episode 12.5 recap episode on Saturday to tie together the show's first and second cours.

The series premiered on July 1, and began its exclusive stream on Netflix on July 3. The show will premiere on Netflix outside of Japan on November 7.

In the story, there was once a Holy Grail War waged by seven Mages and Heroic Spirits in a town called Fuyuki. However, a certain Mage took advantage of the chaos of World War II to steal a Holy Grail. Several decades have passed, and the Yggdmillennia family, who took upon the Holy Grail as its symbol, defected from the Mages' Association and declared their independence. Furious, the Association sent a force to deal with the Yggdmillennia, but they were defeated by the summoned Servants. With the Holy Grail War system changed, war at an unprecedented scale, with seven versus seven, breaks out. And so, the curtain rises on the epoch-making Great Holy Grail War.

The anime adapts TYPE-MOON and Yuichiro Higashide's novels of the same name.
