Type-Moon works are not made for casual viewers... anime excluded of course, Tsukihime was a nice intro at its time (despite ignoring 99% of the story), F/SN was a decent route combo to introduce middle-schoolers into Nasuverse, as UBW did introduce grade-school-kids into it, while F/Z attempted to attract hipsters and office ladies (cutting out or sweetening taboo scenes)... thus Ilya will try to expand the TM fanbase into mahou-shoujo lolicons (I left Rakkyou out intentionally, since it is the only good adaption to date)

Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA is a really good manga with good action, plot, and humor.
It suffers (depending on point of view) from a bit too much loli fanservice. Escpecially early on. But if one can get past that (or just accept Illya is naked from time to time while talking about important stuff), then you will be fine.

There's a bit more loliciousness at those points than I think may be strictly necessary. But I've found the quite interesting story and rather compelling characters (and good humor, when it feels like being funny rather than serious) can carry it past that.

I only watched Fate/stay night, the others I haven't had time for and what not. I'm gona watch this one because it looks good/fun.
Might become the catalyst that'll have me watching/reading/etc all the other Fate material...

Official website just went through a refresh: http://prisma-illya.jp/
It now lists the stations it's airing on, and also some more character visuals: Last edited by APNki; 2013-05-23 at 04:16. |

I suspect this may be a half length anime.
There's a special screening of episode 1 and 2 going on near the end of June, and it's only a 30 minute event. The length of the event hints at the length of the episodes. Not that this is a bad thing (see: Muromi). |

The story has already been written. While we were not entirely sure there would be enough for twelve normal-length episodes, I am sure there is too much for twelve half-length episodes. They'll end up with the old problem of trying to cram too much into too small a space, which is crazy, because for once they don't have to do that. The first season of the manga is a good length for them to work with for a 1-cour series. Very nearly ideal. Slightly short, perhaps, but not so much that they couldn't work with it, and there were extra chapters that could be slotted in as well. But if you cut it in half, you're going to lose way more than just the small bit of extra space that may be there. You will lose things that actually need to be there, and for no good reason at all.

http://anime.prisma-illya.jp/introduction/
Website confirms the drama cd cast for Illya's friends at school, to the surprise of absolutely no one. Mimi Katsura: Satomi Satou Tatsuko Gakumazawa: Emiri Katou Suzuka Kirihara: Kanae Itou Nanaki Moriyama: Mariya Ise The maids have the same casting as in Carnival Phantasm and whatever other spinoffs they're in that are voiced, Haruhi Terada for Sella and Miho Miyagawa for Leysritt. Shirou and Taiga are played by the usual suspects. |
