Rainbowsphere recently posted the picture above for Carl who in turn tweeted in to me. But the picture in question sparked my creative engine. If Chika Ogiue is Saber then who would the rest of the cast of Genshiken be in Fate/Stay Night. Here is the result of my pondering. As with any of these casting games there is sure to be alternative choices. Feel free to post you opinion below.
You may be wondering why I am posting a Christmas article in the middle of April. The truth of the matter is that up until last week this was a lost Reverse Thieves post. Back in March of 2010 we changed servers for the blog. All in all it was a rather smooth transition. There were a few hiccups with links and pictures but within a few days most everything was back online with one exception. For some reason, the Shin Christmas Carol Z post was lost in the shuffle and I did not notice it until months later which was long after our original host deleted anything to do with the blog on our first server. As much as I tried, I could not find a back up of this post and so it seemed it was gone for good . . . until just a few days ago. I randomly thought to try Internet Archive and see if it had any traces of the post. And lo and behold this post was resurrected from its untimely demise. So if you have never read this post or you would like to read it again you can now bask in all of its glory.
I think that the Love Detective Hisui advice column was wildly successful. Clearly there is an untapped market for an advice column for Otaku on the Internet. Sadly Love Detective Hisui was busy helping Otaku find love and was too busy to do a column today. But he pulled some strings and was able to get us an equally impressive board certified psychotherapist to fill in. Let us all welcome Grail-kun and his overflowing cup of wisdom.
