I am continuing my Carnival Phantasm articles with Shance on his Rainbowsphere blog. Shance and I will examine each of the episodes of the first season of the show and maybe give some insight to the references for casual Type-Moon fans who can’t name off each of the characters in the Nasuverse with known reality marbles and what they do. The second episode is fun at the beach with Shiki’s innocence on the line. Actually considering his relationship with Jinan Tokie maybe the contestants are too late.

If anyone was wondering where my Carnival Phantasm coverage is, don’t worry it is on its way. If anyone is sick of seeing 3 page long Type-Moon articles on the site they also do not have to worry. My Carnival Phantasm articles will be on Shance’s Rainbowsphere blog. Shance and I will examine each of the episodes of the first season of the show and maybe give some insight to the references for casual Type-Moon fans who don’t spend hours researching what information is contained within the mobile site. The first episode looks at the 5th Holy Grail War Game show. We don’t know who will win but we all know Lancer will lose.

Bonus Round – Cat Scratch Fever

In our newest contribution for the Bonus Round on Anime3000, we look at the first half of the 2009 Satelight show, the Guin Saga. An adaption of a classic Japanese fantasy series that ran for over a 130 volumes by scarily prolific author Kaoru Kurimoto. Guin Saga is the story of Guin a man with amnesia who is trapped in a leopard mask that helps the prince and princess of a fallen country as he tries to regain his lost memories. But as the Mongauli army peruses them they are forced deeper into the cursed land of Nospherus. We clearly enjoyed the books but how does the anime stack up? As a bonus we also have a dramatic reader from a “lost” book in the series. As a bonus besides your normal Thieves we have Otaku USA’s Caleb Dunaway as Remus, Patz from Insert-Disc as Istavan, and Carl Li from Ogiue Maniax as the narrator.
