Archer: This is Shirō Emiya's limit. It's fitting for someone like you who has tried so hard.

Text: The second season begins

Emiya: He did say it... The same words as me!



Emiya: Don't you screw with me!!

Emiya: Faster...! Better...! Stronger...!!

Rin: Shirō, your way of doing this is crooked.



The season will premiere on TV at midnight on April 4 (technically, April 5). Seattle's Sakura-Con will host the U.S. premiere. at the same time.

The Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works television anime follows the original game's 'Unlimited Blade Works' route.

Aniplex will release the first Blu-ray box set simultaneously in Japan and North America on March 25.

Kalafina will return to perform the second season's ending theme.

Studio DEEN's earlier film adaptation of the 'Unlimited Blade Works' route premiered in Japan in 2010. Sentai Filmworks released the film in North America in 2012. An anime film of the original game's 'Heaven's Feel' route has also been green-lit.
