The latest animated feature of Type Moon's Fate series, Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-, will have a special screening at Anime Expo! In fact, it's going to be the English world premiere, presented specially by Aniplex.

Aniplex has a tradition of bringing big name guests to Anime Expo, and this year is no different.  For 2022, they have Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Sword Art Online, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Disney's Twisted-Wonderland, and Fate/Grand Order on tap.  Even better, they have Japanese guests, which if you've looked at conventions nowadays, have been in short supply due to the state of the world.

Aniplex has just announced that Noriko Shitaya will attend the Fate/Grand Order USA Tour's inaugural Los Angeles stop, which starts in less than a week's time on Saturday the 23rd.  She replaces Kana Ueda who had to unfortunately back out due to an unforeseen bout of sickness. Rest up and be well, Ueda-san! The merchandise list and a stamp rally have also been announced.
