What happens

Fate/Extra Last Encore (フェイト／エクストラ ラストアンコール, Feito/Ekusutora Rasuto Ankōru) is a 2018 Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft as part of the Fate franchise by Type-Moon. It aired from January 28 to July 29, 2018 and was directed by Akiyuki Shinbo and Yukihiro Miyamoto, with scripts by Kinoko Nasu and Hikaru Sakurai. The story follows amnesiac protagonist Hakuno Kishinami and his Servant Nero, a female incarnation of the Roman emperor Nero Claudius, as they take part in a deadly tournament and ascend the virtual world of SE.RA.PH in search of wish-granting artefact. Although based on the role-playing video game Fate/Extra from 2010, it is not a faithful adaptation but rather an alternate-history continuation that diverges near the end of the game's narrative and follows a different continuity within the Fate/Extra setting. Critical reception to Fate/Extra Last Encore was mixed. Reviewers consistently praised its ambitious visual presentation and the characterization of Nero, while criticizing its opaque storytelling, heavy fanservice, reliance on prior familiarity with the Fate franchise, and the comparatively subdued characterization of protagonist Hakuno Kishinami.
