Gallery - Fate/complete material IV - Extra Material (Fate/Apocrypha ver.)

With my "review" of Fate/Apocrypha out of the way, I thought I'd update the Gallery with the art in the Fate/complete material IV - Extra Material booklet.

There are a lot of illustrations from many amazing artists, and as these were done as concepts for the canceled MMORPG, some of these characters never saw the light of day...until now. So without further ado, enjoy!

Summer 2015 schedule for Prisma☆Illya Season 3 confirmed!

A tweet from the official Prisma☆Illya Twitter page reveals that the next season of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, titled "2wei! Herz" (2wei, a play on the German word for 'two'; and Herz meaning 'Heart') is all set for Summer of 2015, and even better sporting an awesome new key visual on the website:

It roughly translates to "[Announcement!] Happy New Year! The 2015 summer broadcasting schedule for "Prisma Ilya Zwei Hertz!" is ready! I also put up a new visual to the official website! http://anime.prisma-illya.jp/ Thank you, and give lots more love to Illya this year! #prisma_illya"

 In September of this year, the broadcast of the final episode of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! ended with an announcement that production on a sequel has been green-lit for next year. Hiroshi Hiroyama's original Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya manga re-imagines the Fate/stay night character Illyasviel von Einzbern in an alternate universe as a magical girl. A manga adaptation of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya ran in Comp Ace (a monthly Japanese game and manga magazine) from 2007 to 2008. Hiroyama then launched several sequel manga series. I loved the other two seasons, so I'm really hyped up for this. I've grown a special place for Illya and Magical Ruby in my heart, and it's nice to know that she's not going anywhere anytime soon.
