Drink #051: Upside-down Pineapple
March Movie Madness

Unlike all the other East Coast anime fans, we didn’t head to Anime Boston this month. Instead, we talk about all the movies we saw during March. Okay, yeah, fine we couldn’t come up with a real, all encompassing topic, okay? But hey, you get two anime movie reviews (Patema Inverted and Giovanni’s Island both of which played at the NYICFF) and our thoughts on the Veronica Mars movie (have we ever sounded this ridiculously happy in a podcast before?).

And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:

Upside-down Pineapple

  • 1/2 oz. Vodka, vanilla
  • 1/4 oz. Grenadine
  • 1 oz. Pineapple Juice

Shake vanilla vodka and pineapple juice with ice and strain into shot glass. Add grenadine. The grenadine will sink to the bottom and will give this shot a very sweet conclusion.

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.

  • Not That Surprising
    But it is still nice to know that Ufotable is doing the new animations for the Vita version of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia.
  • Clearly the Caster Path
    The first solid official details of the new Fate/Stay Night anime are rolling out. Ayako Kawasumi is still Saber. All is right with the world.
  • The Casting Couch
    Not to worry. It seems so far all the original Japanese voice cast is coming back.
  • Attack of the Killer Tiger
    And the cherry on top is the first real trailer for the new anime. It is a bit noisy since the footage is from a show floor but the animation is pretty clear.
  • The Art of Saber and Other Less Important Characters
    There are some solid character designs from the new anime as well. Look at Shiro’s new jacket.
  • More Aniplex Formal Wear
    More pictures of the from the Aniplex booth at AnimeJapan. With extra wonderful Saber action.
  • ComicWalker Double Black Label
    You can now legitimately read Fate/kaleid liner Prisma ☆ Illya Drei 3!! on the ComicWalker site. There is only one chapter but the road to shame will surely be longer in due time.
  • Everything is a Mystery!
    As Red Dragon starts wrapping up Makoto Sanda has been posting pictures of the Good Smile Company’s miniatures and dioramas used for the story. I really hope this gets some sort of animated adaptation. Thanks to Wensleydale_ for pointing this one out.
  • Professional Figure Skater
    The closer we get to the new Fate/Stay Night anime the more new figures we will surely see. It seems that we are seeing more than just Saber though for a change.

    • Anime Japan 2014: Good Smile – Saber, Gilgamesh, and Rin are hardly surprising but it seems they have realized Archer has always been popular. There is also some World Conquest Zvezda Plot figures on the way from Good Smile as well.
    • More Smiles: More Good Smile pictures from Anime Japan 2014. Of course it is mostly Rin centric when it comes to Type-Moon.
    • Spotlight on Twin Tails – The new Rin Tohsaka Nendoroid gets a full review here.
    • L.I.L.Y. (Like I Love You) – More information about the huge Real Action Hero Lily Saber.
    • EXTREMELY Business Casual – Aniplex’s 1/6-scale Fate/Zero Saber in a Suit is a bit more … after hours than usual.

  • The Knight of the Lilies
    The all white Saber gets her chance to shine as Real Action Hero Saber Lily.
  • Lilium ‘Stargazer’
    If you wanted some more details and a review of the aforementioned Real Action Hero Saber Lily.
  • Never Say Never
    After many delays the 3DS will finally see the Fate/kaleid Liner Prisma Illya game. At the point I think they just delayed it so it could come out with the 2nd season of the game.
  • Speaking of that Second Season
    Here is a preview of the new Fate/kaleid Liner Prisma Illya season. Not enough Bazett. Never enough Bazett.
  • Even More Fire Girl Commercials
    They are really try to sell that book series.
