Carnival Phantasm (カーニバル・ファンタズム, Kānibaru Fantazumu) is a comedy OVA series based on the Type-Moon gag manga, Take-Moon (テイク・ムーン, Teiku Mūn) by Eri Takenashi, the author of Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens. The OVA series was created by Type-Moon to celebrate the company's 10th anniversary. The series focuses on funny and absurd situations happening to the various characters of the Type-Moon franchises, mostly from Fate/stay night and Tsukihime.
Plot
The Ahnenerbe is a pub/shop that appears and disappears among parallel worlds. Once every ten years, an event called "The Carnival Moment" occurs, where tales from other dimensions and worlds cross paths, allowing characters from various tales to encounter each other. During this particular Carnival Moment, a multitude of characters from Type-Moon works meet, mainly from Fate/stay night and Tsukihime. These characters are then subjected to a series of situations and parodies not seen in their respective works they come from.
