Both 'Seasons' of Fate/Grand Carnival Anime Now Available on Crunchyroll

Aniplex of America announced at Anime Expo on Sunday that Fate/Grand Carnival, the two-volume original video anime project for the Fate/Grand Order game, is now available with both "seasons" subtitled and dubbed on Crunchyroll. Aniplex of America will also release the anime on Blu-ray Disc on October 11, with the subtitles and dub available in the release. Right Stuf is now taking pre-orders for the Blu-ray Disc.

Aniplex of America is streaming an English-subtitled trailer.

The anime's 30-minute "1st Season" Blu-ray Disc and DVD went on sale in Japan in June 2021. The 30-minute "2nd Season" Blu-ray Disc and DVD was originally slated to ship in August 2021, but was delayed twice due to production issues, and eventually shipped in October 2021.
