AXS TV’s Anime.com Hour continues its magical mayhem this Thursday with a new episode of Fate/Stay Night [Unlimited Blade Works]. “The Princess of Colchis” airs June 5 at 10:00 PM ET, with another round of heroic clashes and high-stakes sorcery for anime fans.
The series follows Shirou Emiya, a high school student pulled into a deadly tournament where mages summon legendary heroes to fight on their behalf. The prize: the Holy Grail, a wish-granting artifact capable of reshaping reality. This week’s episode keeps the action at a fever pitch, as Shirou and his summoned servant, Saber, face new threats in their quest for victory.
The English dub features a solid voice cast, including Bryce Papenbrook, Mela Lee, and Kari Wahlgren, bringing a welcome level of polish to the series. Anime.com Hour itself marks an interesting partnership between AXS TV and anime company Azuki, aiming to give action-packed series like Fate/Stay Night a wider broadcast platform.
For those unfamiliar with the Fate franchise, Unlimited Blade Works offers a decent entry point, though its sprawling mythology and intricate character relationships may take a few episodes to fully grasp. Still, the series’ core appeal—epic magical battles and stylized fight choreography—is readily apparent.
Fate/Stay Night [Unlimited Blade Works] airs Thursday at 10:00 PM ET on AXS TV.
