![]() Upon the stage in the center there was a golden cup, shining in the light, and she immediately knew what it was – the Holy Grail of Fuyuki, the wish-granting relic that her older sister, Manaka, and their father, Sajyou Hiroki, had been fighting for against six other teams of mages.īut something was terribly wrong. Fighting off her mounting nausea, she fearfully looked around and found herself within a cavernous auditorium. What had happened? Where was she? She instinctively felt an oppressive force in the room, some sort of palpable evil threatening to close in and snuff out her pitiful life, but no matter how her being screamed at her body to run she found she could scarcely move.Īnd then, as her senses returned to her, she heard them, the tortured screams of the dying, and she smelled the stench of the dead all around her. Sajyou Ayaka blinked in disorientation, adjusting her glasses as she tried to clear her vision. This is my first "serious" fanfic, so while it is welcomed please keep any criticism constructive.Īlso, I've included links in the text to music that I listened to while writing the story in links, so if you want you can listen them too and get a better idea of the intended mood.Īnd thanks to NuclearConsensus for the more professional "cover art". The story is being entirely rewritten to correct various issues with detail and pacing, along with some changes to the roster, and I'd highly value it if I could find someone to beta-read the story as I write it. I've since been occupied by the demands of graduate school, but since I'm almost finished with my Master's degree now I have some more time to write again, and I decided to revisit this story. This was a fanfic that I started back in 2014 as part of Arashi's fan fiction contest to write the first chapter or two of a longer story. Ten years later, the 5th War looms over them both, and while Ayaka does not trust the son of the Magus Killer, they will have to work together if they are to keep darkness from overrunning the city… and It feels like friends lovingly nudging each other rather than the sometimes harsh mocking found in other meta anime series.Summary: In a world where the Sajyou fought in the 4th Holy Grail War, two children are rescued from the Great Fuyuki Fire, Emiya Shirou, and Sajyou Ayaka. While it does mock the original shows, it is very soft and playful. This is shown best by the show's meta-comedy. This love is utterly infectious, and you can't help but be carried away by it. You can tell that everyone involved in this series loves TYPE-MOON and its creations. In fact, Carnival Fantasm is a fantastic introduction to many of TYPE-MOON's best characters and acts as a functional (if unusual) jumping on point for their content.īut the best thing about Carnival Fantasm is the love it is made with. The series does a great job at helping newcomers understand the characters, and it has plenty of well-written jokes that work even if you have no idea about the story of each series. But, even if you're not a TYPE-MOON fan, you'll find something to love in Carnival Fantasm. Long-time fans will love that the show gives you the chance to see some dream interactions that could never occur in the regular TYPE-MOON continuity. While the characters are outside of their usual worlds and situations, they still retain the essence of their canon selves, making the jokes all the more satisfying. ![]() How the show uses its characters is also top-notch. You never know what is coming next, and the constantly changing format means that no joke overstays its welcome or gets stale. It is this variety that makes the show so good. These skits are wild, containing everything from a gameshow parody to violent beach volleyball to comedic slice-of-life dramas. When this occurs, many parallel worlds can intersect and cross together, allowing the occupants of these worlds to meet up and interact in strange and unpredictable ways.Ĭarnival Phantasm was released in three seasons of 4 episodes, with each episode being its own collection of short skits, all introduced and set up by the Neco-Arcs. However, once every ten years, the "Carnival Moment" happens. This pub can jump between parallel worlds seemingly at random, allowing it to appear anywhere at any time. ![]() This includes the original Neco-Arc from the Tsukihime series, who often acts as TYPE-MOON's mascot. This pub is staffed by a group of cat spirits called Neco-Arcs. ![]() RELATED: Why Studio DEEN Has Such a Bad Reputation Among Anime FansĬarnival Phantasm is framed around a pub called the Ahnenerbe.
