What to Expect From The Fate/Strange Fake Source Material Compared to The Anime?

Adapting a five light novels, especially in a story like Fate’s where there are always like a dozen different characters in play, is not very good. The anime, while visually spectacular and captures the core essence of the Strange Fake story, is perhaps not the best adaptation of the light novels.

A lot of little details got cut from the anime. Some of them important for context later and some of them just interesting pieces of world building. While the anime gave you the basic plot and characters enough that you could probably soldier on through the light novel, the Fate/Strange Fake anime is a better companion piece for those already familiar with the light novels than it is a good introduction/exploration of the story.

You should strongly consider reading the Fate/Strange Fake story from the beginning, but its not strictly necessary.
