Story Synopsis
A considerably more light-hearted look into the usually serious and dire Fate universe, Today’s MENU for EMIYA Family depicts happier times in Fuyuki city with each episode focusing on protagonist, Emiya Shirou, cooking appetizing meals for those around him. The series also reunites the Fate/stay night series’ popular characters and all-star cast including Noriaki Sugiyama as Shirou Emiya, Ayako Kawasumi as Saber, Kana Ueda as Rin Tohsaka, Noriko Shitaya as Sakura Matou, and Yu Asakawa as Rider. The opening theme is “Apron Boy” by self-proclaimed foodie, hip hop rapper DJ Misoshiru to MC Gohan and ending theme “Collage” is by Sangatsu no Phantasia, who also sings the ending theme for KIZNAIVER.
I do like this softer side of the FATE universe. It really shows the true characteristics of each individual
I don't really follow the whole FATE lore but watching this gives me a great deal of understanding of the characters. It's easier to keep up with.
