Prequels are presented with the daunting task of living up to the hype of the main series while trying to expand its lore. While most prequel series fail in one of these tasks, a few prequels are balanced perfectly. Furuhashi’s My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is one such prequel that builds its world while enriching the pre-established lore of My Hero Academia. The series is a masterclass in storytelling that has both quality and emotional resonance.

If you agree with us and want to see more such prequels that are just as good as My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, then fear not, because We Are Here! Here are 5 prequels that are just as good as Vigilantes, in no particular order.

There’s a reason The Beginning After the End fans are upset and it’s not just about the bad animation that Studio A-Cat delivered (though that is the root of the cause). It’s the long-term damage the horrible anime adaptation can do to the series itself.

Next month, a major fan-favorite anime title is leaving Netflix's anime library. Isekai fans only have a little while longer to enjoy Season 1 of KonoSuba: God's Blessings on This Wonderful World via the world's largest streaming platform.

According to What's On Netflix, Konosuba Season 1 will be removed from Netflix's anime catalog on April 15, 2025. Initially released in 2016, the popular isekai series has been available on the site since November 2019. KonoSuba is one of two extremely prominent anime titles slated to leave Netflix next month, the other being the classic '90s supernatural action series Yu Yu Hakusho.

Getting spin-off material is nothing new for a large anime franchise like Dragon Ball or the Fate series. These spin-offs can be fun for fans who want to see different perspectives on the same world. A spin-off could also allow for some fun comedic moments where the cast can relax and not have to deal with world-ending apocalypses. But a truly great spin-off anime can stand on its own and introduce new people into anime.

These spin-off titles match and even surpass the quality of their source material. A new spin on the status quo of an anime could bring in a legion of new fans who wouldn't be interested otherwise. The best spin-offs are so good that viewers will likely forget that they're based on another anime altogether. That's exactly what these titles accomplish, and they do it with flying colors.

The Fate series is notorious for its complex timeline, multiple routes, and alternate universes, all of which are considered canon. With various adaptations and spin-offs, it can be a confusing and daunting task for newcomers to decide where to start.

However, by following a structured watch order, you can ease into the wonderful world of Fate. Here is the watch list-

1. Fate/Zero (2011-2012) Fate/Zero | Credits: Ufotable

The best place to start watching from is Fate/Zero. It serves as a prequel to Fate/Stay Night. This series explores the Fourth Holy Grail War, setting the stage for later events and essentially building a base for what is to come.

With a darker setting, it delves into the minds of participants like Kiritsugu Emiya, Kirei Kotomine, and others, forming an emotional impact that will resonate throughout the series.

2. Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014-2015) Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works | Credits: Ufotable

Once Fate/Zero...

From time to time, an anime series will release a spin-off. These anime tackle familiar characters from a new angle. Sometimes this places beloved characters in a darker universe, while other times characters are given a much needed break from the chaos their canon universe puts them through.

Several of these anime, such as Isekai Quartet, have become quite popular with fans. However, some of these anime that deserve to be well-loved have unfortunately slipped under the radar. These unique takes on popular anime deserve the chance to finally shine brighter than the original without slipping into obscurity.

The anime and manga industry is notorious for its grueling work schedules, which force the employees into physical and mental exhaustion every single day. It is no joke that even famed mangakas have many chronic illnesses that lead to them not being able to enjoy their successes.

In this harsh and callous industry, Studio Deen brings a light of hope. The studio, which is known for its classics like Konosuba and Ranma ½, has been taking a bold stance against the norm.

Under CEO Shinichiro Ikeda, the studio has prioritized the work-life balance over profit by enforcing strict working hours even at the risk of financial loss.

A brave fight against the industry norms

This seems like a ridiculous thing to do, especially in an industry that is highly competitive and has a different set of working norms.

Although...

Since the anime industry’s quick growth in popularity and prominence, it has received criticism for one cause that has had a significant impact on the community. This criticism stemmed from the lengthy working hours that animators and other employees from multiple animation studios were required to put in to produce anime series of the best quality in terms of animation.

Konosuba Anime Series | Credit: Studio Deen

And while this criticism was witnessed by almost every other animation studio, the one that constantly stayed out of it was Studio Deen. Studio Deen is one of the most prominent names in the anime industry, known for animating series like Rurouni Kenshin, Konosuba, Seven Deadly Sins, Fate/Stay Night, Fruits Basket, Code-e, Kokoro Library, Hell Girl, etc.

The CEO of Studio Deen, Shinichiro Ikeda, recently revealed his secret for avoiding the criticism against the long working hours. He even pointed out the importance...

The anime industry is relatively notorious for being one of Japan's most physically exhausting work environments. This is a reality that Shinichiro Ikeda, the current president and CEO of Studio Deen, had to confront immediately after assuming control of the company.

In a recent interview conducted by Comic Natalie, Ikeda discussed his early years as CEO of Studio Deen, the company behind highly successful anime works such as Fate/Stay Night, Ranma 1/2 (1989) and Junji Ito Collection. Prior to Ikeda's work as head of Studio Deen, he worked primarily as a manager for Ima Group, a company specializing in collectible capsule toys, trading cards and other types of anime-themed merchandise. In order to expand Ima Group, Ikeda turned Studio Deen into an official subsidiary in 2008 with the idea of eventually creating tie-in shows and films for his company's products.

From Fate/Stay Night to Demon Slayer, Ufotable has produced some of the most high-end anime in the industry. As an esteemed studio, it has earned accolades and awards for its brilliant and impeccable animation.

On top of that, it has set a precedent for other animation studios in more ways than one. But most specifically, it pertains to its finesse and quality, which could amp up Genshin Impact anime. But there’s a caveat to that as well.

The success and popularity of any anime series depend on a number of aspects. These aspects range from the storyline to the visual representation of the characters. However, the one thing that probably matters the most in today’s era is the animation quality of the series, which enhances the ongoing narrative to the next level.

A new teaser just proved that Fate/stay night's most interesting offshoot is closer to the screen than ever. Fate/strange Fake is a heavily anticipated adaptation of a light novel series that, as the title indicates, branched off from the Fate universe. Fate/strange Fake is a vast tale woven by mastermind Ryogo Narita, whose city-slicking sensibilities also brought about Baccano! and Durarara!!.

The series has one of the most intriguing origin stories of any Fate media, originally being an elaborate April Fool's joke which blossomed into a full-light novel series. Published by Type-moon, the fanbase considered Fate/Strange fake as canonical as any other entry in the series. The follow-up will be the first Fate anime in a while to fully feature the universe's violent brand of political intrigue, so fans have been impatiently waiting for more information. Now, a new teaser has brought the unique series to life.

2025 is in full swing, and with it comes a brand-new anime season. Plenty of anime are continuing their runs from the fall season and beyond, but as is always the case, the season is filled mostly with anime that are either returning from extended breaks or new shows to watch, entirely.

The winter 2025 anime season is another one filled with plenty of new anime, and it’s already easy for fans to plan around them. At this point, every anime in the winter 2025 season has already confirmed its premiere dates and times, so anime fans can already plan out a schedule for every new anime premiering in the winter 2025 season. There are dozens of anime to keep track of from new releases alone, and with so many titles, someone is bound to find at least one series they want to watch.

This list will focus primarily on anime premiering in...

The Fate series by Type-Moon is built around the dramatic Holy Grail Wars. These intense battles bring together Masters, skilled wizards, and Servants, who are the spirits of legendary heroes. Under the creative direction of Takashi Takeuchi and writer Kinoko Nasu, the franchise began with the visual novel Fate/Stay Night.

Since then, it has expanded into prequels, sequels, parodies, and adaptations, all connected by the iconic ‘Fate’ name. Anime has become the most popular way to experience this franchise, and it’s exciting to report about a new addition to the Fate anime world.

The next chapter, Fate/strange Fake, will soon join the lineup, as the anime is going to continue in January 2025, as we have already reported. Now, ahead of the release, a new trailer has been released and you will be able to see it below.

The new trailer is heating us up for the second episode of the series,...

The Fate franchise is Type-moon's multimedia collection that covers stories centered around events called The Holy Grail Wars, where mages summon magical familiars in order to battle each other for the wish-granting relic known as the Holy Grail. The most well-known series in the Fate franchise are Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, both of which concluded over 10 years ago. However, Fate fans have been eagerly waiting for the premiere of a new installment animated by A-1 Pictures—Fate/strange Fake, which airs this week on Dec. 31.

Fate/strange Fake is based on the light novel collaboration between Type-moon and Durarara!! author, Ryogo Narita. It is said to take place in the late 2000s, set in the city of Snowfield, Nevada, and revolves around a "fake" Holy Grail War produced by an organization of magi that are based in the United States.

Anime can be based on many things. Some are based on light novels or manga series. Others are adapted versions of western shows or books. However, plenty of anime are based on video games, including light novels.

Video games can come in plenty of different genres, from romantic visual novels to action-packed RPGs, making for a wide range of games that can be turned into anime. The early 2000s were an excellent time for video games to be adapted into anime, as video games became more advanced and popular.

Goku was already a wanted man (or child) back when he stopped Gomah’s men from draining the lives out of helpless civilians. This latest incident now makes it impossible for Goku, Glorio and Panzy to continue their search for the remaining Dragon Balls without making a scene.

The main focus of Type-Moon’s Fate series is the Holy Grail Wars, which are battles for the Holy Grail between Masters (talented wizards) and Servants (incarnations of called-upon heroic spirits). The series was developed under the artistic supervision of Takashi Takeuchi and guided by Kinoko Nasu.

The visual novel Fate/Stay Night served as the inspiration for the franchise, which includes prequels, sequels, parodies, and adaptations, all connected by the prefix “Fate.” Due to its enormous popularity, the franchise has spawned numerous well-known anime adaptations and developed into successful video games.

The anime adaptation is the most famous iteration of the original works, and we are happy to report that a new addition to the anime canon is coming later this year. There is also a free surprise for all the lucky viewers who are inside the region-locked release of the free episode of the latest Fate anime series, Fate/strange Fake.

For a limited time, Crunchyroll's official YouTube channel will be streaming the first episode of Fate/strange Fake for free. Fate/strange Fake is an adaptation of the light novel series by the same name, penned by Ryogo Narita (of Durarara!! and Baccano! fame). Its full adaptation has been anticipated for years following the release of its first episode as an Ova, Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-.

As an April Fool's joke which blossomed out into an entire light novel series, Fate/strange Fake has one of the strangest origins in the entire Fate universe spinning off of the iconic visual novel and anime Fate/stay night. Its bizarre reimagining of Fate mainstays like Servants and Grail Wars follows suit. Despite its odd presentation, it has become a beloved entry in the franchise with the new anime being hotly anticipated by fansand thanks to Crunchyroll, the Ova is available to stream, free of charge.

Mari Okada is an award-winning filmmaker and writer who is famous for her hand in creating emotional pieces like Anohana as well as weaving together the stunning tale of Maquia. She also contributed to a handful of writing and diecting jobs, having worked on the writing staff for popular anime like Basilisk, Black Butler, and Fate/Stay Night. Most recently, she wrote the screenplay for the new 2024 film, Fureru, which was released in Japan earlier this year.

Okada possesses a talent for tugging at her audiences' heartstrings, crafting stories that leave fans sobbing by the time the credits start rolling. Her work consists of deeply flawed, realistic characters who overcome their obstacles with the help of love, friendship, and self-actualization. Many of her works are perfect for anime fans who love a good story about the strong bonds built between imperfect people as well as a good cry.
