![]() A bit of a no-frills spinoff short show, and precious little to write home about. The other members of the cast all drop by to chat, help prepare and enjoy some home cooking, and any other events, so this is all one basic affair. In this show, Shirou lives with his Servant Saber and Taiga Fujimura, who, in the main story, is his English teacher (but is referred to as Fuji-nee by Shirou). Themes for each episode range from New Years’ celebration to Girls’ Day, and a lot of the main Fate characters all play their part in this large family unit, despite all living in separate homes. There is no linear story here, but there doesn’t need to be – this is a short show after all, and so each 12-13 minute episode can operate on their own. His approach looks pretty much like any other cooking program, going through every ingredient, telling us when to heat up things and for how long, and so on. Shirou himself does the majority of the cooking in, with others helping him. In this short show, we get to see a total of 13 dishes being made, from New Years’ soba to omelet rice, from foil-baked salmon to hamburger steaks. ![]() Here for this show, we see the Fate universe isn’t all epic fighting, detailed plots and seeing “people die if they are killed”…and that they enjoy good food too. I know that’s it’s good to see a lot of big anime franchises poke fun at each other and not take each other too seriously, as it can sometimes alienate audiences. This short show is apparently set in an alternate universe that’s set around the time of the Fate/hollow ataraxia game, where Shirou Emiya lives peacefully with the rest of the main Fate cast. I am surprised that Netflix didn’t jump onto this, considering they have quite a big monopoly of shows in the Fate universe, including exclusivity to Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Extra: Last Encore. I later learned that Today’s Menu For The Emiya Family was in fact an original net animation…Crunchyroll only licensed it for the West. ![]() ![]() Back to the anime review grind after a short break with what I originally thought was just a regular short show. ![]()
