Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA 3rei!! #10: Declaration of War

Leave a comment

hisui_icon_4040_round If you missed the new it seems that Fate/Grand Order is currently having a Prisma Causeway Event. A bunch of the “magical girl” characters like Nursery Rhyme, Helena Blavatsky, and Medea (Lily) are going to be the focus of the event alongside the Prisma Illya characters. While there could still be some surprises the big draw is the 5 Star Illya alongside the Chloe as the prize for completing the event. As someone who has really gained an appreciation for Chloe via the anime, I am platinum glad to have her as the free Servant.

(Tsukihi Araragi puns like that are clearly why the blog is “popular.”)

There is oddly enough no Miyu as a summonable Servant which is distinctly surprising. It would have been cool to get  Tanaka or Bazett as Servants I don’t anyone is super shocked they are not in the game. Now the number of people super sore about Phantas-Moon, Kaleido Ruby (beyond a  CE), or Magical Amber not being in the game because that is the default state of Tsukihime fans makes it that a small but vocal group of people will complain this whole event.

But for everyone else, this should be fun!

Otakon 2016: Guest Events

Leave a comment

hisui_icon_4040_round Normally we would have separate articles for guests and events. Otakon usually has so many great industry guests that we separate panels with them into their own category and then have a separate post for any events especially the ones with the musical talent. This year on the other hand paradoxically we got so many interviews that there was not much time left over for us to go to many guest panels. So this means we have a ton of great in-depth coverage of the industry guest but we don’t really have a lot of coverage of their public appearances.  It is the sort of “problem” you never mind having.

That means we are combining the few industry guest events we could attend the other events we went to. I wanted to go the concert with MICHI but it was sadly somewhere in the middle of the cosplay contest. According to Kate, they tend to throw the concert more towards the last third than right in the middle so it seemed like a bit too much of a time investment.

All Points Bulletin: The Gravity Of Bad Advice

If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on an APB drop us a line via email or Twitter.

hisui_icon_4040_round Alain’s picks:

  • Like Father Like Son
    If you enjoyed the videos about The Brothers Gracchi and how they inadvertently laid the foundation for the fall of the Roman Republic than this look at their father should be fascinating. It is a good look into how many of his successes and failures would both come to aid and hurt his sons.
  • The Tower of Druaga Durlag
    A series of 5 videos looking at the design of a single floor of a dungeon in Baldur’s Gate. It is useful for fans of both video game RPGs and Table Top RPGs. Smart dungeon design always  makes a player’s experience more enjoyable.
  • Fixing it with Soos
    All Geeks Considered Looks at the first season and a half of the wonderful Gravity Falls. I really hope they look at the shorts when they close out the series.
