Top 10 Type-Moon Moments for 2015

Leave a comment

hisui_icon_4040 Picking on what to focus on in the intro to my yearly Type-Moon Moments post used to be very easy. There would be one big title that could be the focus and then everything else was little points of interest that were relevant to me. Now that Type-Moon has really become popular there is a constant stream of anime, manga, light novels, events, cafés, games, and merchandise to choose from. We might not get all of it here in America. There is still a significant amount of Type-Moon titles that don’t get translated especially if they are long like the novels. If Lord El-Melloi II Case Files or Fire Girl was the best thing this year I can’t tell you about that. But there was enough other items to pick from that it might be for the best that I don’t have everything to choose from otherwise I might have to bump this up to Top 20 Type-Moon Moments for 2015.

The 800-pound gorilla in the room was definitely Fate/Grand Order. Any other year Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season would have been the main tent pole that everything crowded around as a side-show. This year it had to share the spotlight with the mobile game. You could easily make a list that was nothing more than Top 10 Type-Moon Moments in Fate/Grand Order for 2015.
