S.W.A.T. Reviews: Spring 2013 Pt. 1

Leave a comment

The premise of these reviews is simple: watch the first episode of a series and then immediately sit down to record a review mini-podcast. The reviews are five- to ten-minutes long and entirely off the cuff. As always we only review new shows (so no sequels or continuations) and try to avoid anything that just looks outright awful. Here are 2 early shows of the new season:

Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup: Valkyrie Profile Saber

Leave a comment

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.

  • Super Alloy Arturia
    I think that these Type-Moon Weekly News Roundups should easily prove there are quite a few Saber figures made every year. But one of the most powerful Saber figures is Bandai’s Chogokin Saber. This is the real deal Saber complete with die-cast armor.
    If you were curious if this new Saber was worth the money Dave Cabrera wrote up this marvel on Astro Toy this week. When I placed this article in the roundup there were only four comments on the review. Let us improve upon that.
  • Saber the Yokozuna
    Time for paper Saber to defeat a sumo cat.
  • Prevent Fate/Stay Night From Ever Happening
    I think that is the goal of certain Type-Moon fans who prefer Fate/Zero. But with the new Fate/Zero The Adventure iOS game you can do that outside of terrible fan fiction.
  • To My Side My Noble Einherjar!
    Valhalla Knights 3 will have the option of a Saber outfit in the game. If this is something unlockable in the game or DLC has yet to be announced.
  • One More Week
    By the time this article is published there will be less than a week until Fate/Extra CCC come on in Japan on March 28th. This final video hints at the new story of CCC and the secrets within.
