I had just recently finished the Carnival Phantasm series and watched the last
episode called "Fate/Prototype". This episode is different b/c it looks to be
about a different Fate universe. If so, is this a different anime in the Fate
series?

What's the last episode of Carnival Phantasm about?


Fate/Prototype is the original story created by Kinoko Nasu which would later
after many changes be published as Fate/stay night. It can be considered as an
alternate universe to the world of Fate/stay night, in a similar way to the
other Fate spinoffs like Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Extra.

The final disc release of the Carnival Phantasm included the Fate/Prototype
OVA, which is an extra (i.e. not directly related to Carnaval Phantasm) short
animation that tastes/showcases off story bits and designs for the original
concept of the Fate/stay night series.
