Conventional Wisdom: Summer 2016

Leave a comment

hisui_icon_4040 You might have noticed that we have not been posting any All Points Bulletin posts while Kate is on vacation. Normally this would not be a big deal. They are more a lark for Kate and I that just happens to benefit the readership more than anything else. But as it turns out Kate went on vacation at the start of the beginning on the anime and manga convention season. I have been using All Points Bulletin as a way of highlighting convention coverage that I thought people reading the blog may enjoy. Since the APB is on break until Kate comes back I noticed the con reports were piling up a bit so I decided to do this quick post in order to clear out that backlog before then.

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.

  • Apparently Fate/Extella is More Than Just a Huge Waifu Fest
    It still has lots of female characters but Gilgamesh and the Wrought Iron Hero should balnce things out a bit when they are also playable characters. 
    BUT since they also pretty much all but said Artoria is also a playable character it was the bulk of the conversation.
    MRGRGR!
  • Burning Demon
    A full body picture of Ibaraki Douji has been unveiled.
  • The Many Classes of Kiyohime
    Apparently people can’t wait for the summer and the release of a Lancer version of Kiyohime.
  • Red vs. Black
    The Fate/Apocrypha manga may be its own take on the story that is a little different than the light novel. Only time will tell.
  • Cosplaying Scáthach
    Whatever she wears she wears it well.
  • Rise of the Biker Queen
    If you missed out on the Saber & Saber Motored Cuirassier figure from Goodsmile you have a second chance to get it.
