Magical girls shows borrow heavily from both shonen and shojo in their formulas especially after Sailor Moon added in a massive amount of influences from tokusatsu shows. So the rival magical girl who starts of as a an opponent or frenemy and eventually becomes a boon companion has become an inseparable part of the genre’s DNA. And Miyu Edelfelt plays this part to a T.
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.

Rin Tohsaka has played many rolls through out the Fate series. A steadfast ally, a devious enemy, an aloof but loving sister, a generous lover, a pimp daddy, a bisexual, a miko, a proper maid, a magical girl, a woman with legs up to her neck, and even a sports star. But she has always had one job no matter what path of the game, adaption of the story, or spin-off material you experience. Rin Tohsaka is always an exposition machine with wonderful zettai ryouiki. Fate/kaleid is no exception to this rule.
Whenever magical mechanics need to be explained she is there. Whenever rule systems for deadly games are unclear to new participants she is there. Whenever ancient shadowy conspiracies need to be unmasked she is there. Rin Tohsaka is the Mr. Wizard of the Type-Moon universe.
