Well, several weeks ahead of its worldwide release on June 30, the English dub & its cast list was already made available on Netflix Japan (which I was the one to break the news for fyi: https://thejrpictures.wordpress.com/2018/06/09/leaked-news-fate-extra-last-encores-dub-on-netflix-japan/)
Regardless, it's a pretty fine cast assembled on this one, with all the returning voices as expected (while Sakura wasn't included on the credits, that's most definitely still Cristina Vee as her when listening to the performance) and some actors that it's just nice to see more from like Jessica Gee George. Billy Kametz already has his first lead role after some supporting parts and Cassandra Lee as Saber is a pretty nice choice for the character in hindsight.
Though the casting of Armen Taylor as Kirei rather than say, bringing in his previous non-union voice in Taylor Henry is an odd choice, though his limited screentime means it doesn't matter all that much in the end anyway.

@JRPictures So Crispin isn't back? Dang, a part of me was hoping they'd unionize this after Arggretsuko was but nope...

Been pretty curious to see where this spin-off series goes, especially when it's going such a different direction from the game it's based on and has franchise creator Kinoko Nasu as the main writer to boot.
A shame Netflix snatched this one up as well after Apocrypha which means waiting for months on end for its release and even then, going by Apocrypha's example, they probably wont even unionise the dub which means yet another recast with Kirei at least after Saber in Apo.
Just kinda annoying when it's a company as big as Netflix and they cared enough about consistency to rehire Bang Zoom to dub Apocrypha but not enough to make the dub union.

@JRPictures Well this Saber is a different person then the one from the main series so it makes scene to have a different VA, but yeah they need to get Freeman back as Kirei.

@xstationo I'm very aware that the Saber here is totally different, I was just mentioning F/SN Saber's appearance in Apocrypha in relation to the possibility of Kirei being recast.

@JRPictures Hoping that Bang Zoom will go with Price for Kirei at least to keep some consistency like with Ruff.
