The movie trilogy is a great adaptation, but you should read the manga too for a more developed story.

Fate based Magical Girls anime. This anime adaptation is ok, but the manga is far better.

Good enough adaptation of the light novels, but the manga is better.
In Apocrypha's alternate timeline the events of Zero and Stay Night didn't happened.

«Through "Last Encore", I tried to make it something that feels different depending on whether you know the premise.
For the people who will watch this anime as their first "EXTRA" experience, I want this to be the starting point where they become interested in the original game and the manga.
For the people familiar with the original game, I want them to go "What...?" at the differences.
So people can have fun playing EXTRA after watching the anime, and people can have fun watching the anime after playing the game.
I hope we made something that can be enjoyed both ways.»
