posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official website for Fate/Grand Carnival, the two-volume original video anime project for the Fate/Grand Order game, began streaming the anime's opening title sequence on Tuesday. The title sequence features the theme song "Super Affection," the same theme song as the earlier Carnival Phantasm comedy anime, now performed by Rie Takahashi, Minami Tanaka, Rumi Okubo, Aoi Yūki, Nao Tōyama, Ayane Sakura, Saori Hayami, Ayako Kawasumi, Kana Ueda, Sakura Tange, and Mai Kadowaki.
The 30-minute "1st Season" Blu-ray Disc and DVD went on sale on Wednesday, and the 30-minute "2nd Season" Blu-ray Disc and DVD will go on sale on August 25.
