Following the success in the Camelot Singularity, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight are assigned to the last Singularity in the Grand Order initiative. In Ancient Babylonia, 2500 BCE, they embark on a mission to secure humanity's survival. Upon arrival, they learn that three gods have threatened Uruk, the Babylonian city ruled by King Gilgamesh. Ritsuka and Mash must work together to fend off the invasion of mysterious beasts in Uruk under Gilgamesh's orders while investigating the true nature of the three gods' actions against humanity; but unknown to Ritsuka, an ancient entity is slowly rising from its slumber.

Production

Fate/Grand Order: The Absolute Demon Battlefront Babylonia was first announced on July 29, 2018 by Aniplex as an adaptation of the "Order VII: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts: Babylonia" quest from Fate/Grand Order.[1] Aniplex had previously launched a survey in January, asking fans what their favorite quest was, and what kind of future development they'd like to see for the franchise; the "Babylonia" quest and "TV anime" ranked first respectively.[1] The anime will be produced by CloverWorks.[2] Toshifumi Akai is directing the series, while Miyuki Kuroki serves as assistant director, Tomoaki Takase handles character designs, and Ryo Kawasaki composes the series' music.[3] The series is set to premiere in Japan on October 2019.[4][5]

Writing

In an interview for Newtype magazine, CloverWorks producer Yūichi Fukushima stated that while the anime adaptation doesn't cover the beginning the video game, it will be accessible even to those who don't play the game.[6] Shizuka Kurosaki said also that "Think of each adaptation as a different take on Chaldea and the Singularity. You don't need to watch the TV series before the films."[7]
