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.

On the Reverse Thieves blog and the Speakeasy Podcast we try to talk about some of the finest titles that anime and manga have to offer. But occasionally we do guests spots on other podcasts and talk about utter trash. This time I went on the Eeeper’s Choice podcast and recounted my journey through Rio: Rainbow Gate! with Philip and Doctor from the SSAA Podcast. It is everything you expect from an anime base on a pachinko game franchise AND LESS!

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.
