Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup: Vacation Time

Leave a comment

This Saturday post is the weekly Type-Moon news in addition to the regular APB post on Sunday. If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup drop me a line via email or Twitter.

  • Just a Reminder
    I will be on vacation for the next 2 weeks so the schedule for the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup will be wonky. After Otakon (July 24th-26th) things should be back to some sort of normal. That probably means I will miss posting some Fate/Grand Order news in a timely fashion but I will probably come back with some goodies for the news section.
  • The Most Powerful Question!
    Kivat_III asked the best Type-Moon question at a panel with Ryukishi07.
  • The Rest of Expo
    Of course there was some good stuff out of Expo

    • Prerequisite Excalibur
    • The Panel: Since there is no video of the Fate/Stay Night event (that I can find) this is the next best thing.
    • The Panel 2: An alternate report.
    • The Loot Crates 1 & 2: Some of the swag Fate fans got at Expo.
  • The Mature Taste of Black Coffee
    The Ufotable Cafe gets in some Unlimited Blade Works merchandise with Rin and Shiro from the epilogue.
  • All the Silver Link
    The Kotaku summer anime guide highlights Chaos Dragon and Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz!
  • A Comic a Week Keeps the Kotomine Away
    A collection of Twitter comics for each week of Unlimited Blade Works.
  • It is Hard to be the Best Girl
    I hope that senpai notices me!
  • More Servants for Kate
    I am curious who this new Archer is.
  • The Boys of Summer
    I have to wonder if we will see more of Yario down the line.
  • The Stream of Chaos
    At this point it is mostly just a reminder that Funimation will be streaming Chaos Dragon.
  • Pumping Iron
    The ways that you can power-up your servants have been revealed in Fate/Grand Order.
  • Give me More
    I think you will say the same thing.

hisui_icon_4040I will finally be able to live life like the Galactic Hero, Siegfried Kircheis, and have a light snack of black beer in a large glass, sausage, potatoes, a sauerkraut. The dream is real.

I’m going on my first major vacation (that does not involve an anime convention) in years. I will be spending a week and a half in Hungary, Austria, and Germany. It’s my first trip to Europe so I’m a decent combination of nervous and excited. If anyone has any tips of food I should eat, places I should visit, or basic European travel advice I am eager to hear them.

I will be gone from the 11th to the 20th of July. That means the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup is going to have a bit of weird schedule while I’m gone. The post on the 11th will go up as normal (although it will probably be missing any Saturday news), there will be no post on the 18th, I will be posting a catch up post on the 21st, and then there will be no post on the 25th because I will be at Otakon. After that everything should be back on a normal schedule. I know the readership of the News Roundup is hardly colossal but the fact that I have been posting in on a regular schedule for two and a half years means a lot to me.

Other than that we have squirreled always enough content that the rest of the blog should generally appear unchanged (other than my half of the APB posts being a little less tied to current events than usual.)

Other than that Kate is usually the more responsible member of the blog so I have no worries.

I’m mostly just looking forward to eating good food, seeing historic sites, indulging my hidden history major, and expanding my general perspective. I will talk to you all again when I return!

First impressions are great but what about our thoughts after we’ve watched an entire series week to week? We figured our listeners might want to hear our final impressions as well so we’ve created the Case Closed Review podcast. Just like the S.W.A.T. Reviews, these will be mini-podcasts and completely off the cuff.

Here are the shows we finished which ended this spring:

Listen – Final impressions of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders S2 from David Productions. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – Final impressions of Kuroko’s Basketball S3 from Productions I.G. It is streaming on Crunchyroll and Daisuki.

Listen – Final impressions of Sound! Euphonium from Kyoto Animation. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – Final impressions of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches from Liden Films. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.
