hey all,

any Fate fans? I came across this anime Carnival Phantasm on YouTube through
it's catchy opening on a "Try Not to Sing or Dance Anime Challenge". the anime
is really cute. basically it's a rip on the Fate series and Tsukihime (I never saw
either one.) there are these catlike beings the Aherene (?) and they own this
shop/pub and "host" the Carnival Phantasm, an event where every ten years
characters from different universes converge to socialize and play in whatever.
one episode is a game show, another is a soap opera, another is a Grand Prix.
the common joke is the character Lancer who is always dying. one YouTuber
made the comment "I watched a back-to-back marathon of Fate/Zero and
Unlimited Blade Works. I needed this SOOOOO bad!" so this is obviously the
cure to a depressing series. anyway, do we watch it and if so, what is our favorite
episode. comments are welcome.

Yo! I used to be big on the Fate/ series back in the day (2005(?)) right before or just as it was being adapted into an anime in Japan. I first found out about it when my dad took my brother, cousins, and I out to lunch at our favorite Japanese restaurant and toy store. I remember seeing a figurine of Saber posing with a sword on one of the shelves. I thought she looked really cool so I made a mental note of her and then found a fan-sub of the anime on Youtube shortly after. xD

I kind of lost touch with the series after Fate/Grand Order became a thing (not a fan of this game, sorry people!), but I am definitely interested in the three-part movie adaptation of the original visual novel, and I would like to see an anime adaptation made for the Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia visual novel.

Carnival Phantasm was pretty entertaining--especially if you were familiar with the visual novels and the original memes. The jokes around Lancer's E-rank luck and Rider's riding skills were A+++. As for favorite skits, I liked the one where Berserker had to go to the store for Illya to get batteries, and the one where the characters had to race each other.
