Don’t Get TOO Attached to Anyone

Finally a podcast where I get to talk about Fate/Extra CCC for an hour. Oh wait. That would be horrible. So instead I did an appearance on the Eroge Bus podcast with the Digital Bug from Reisen Goes to School by Bus. The main topic is Kara no Shoujo which I already discussed the demo of on the blog but now we talk about the full release from MangaGamer. It is an unusual erotic detective visual novel with a strong emphasis on the player actually solving the mystery. We also discuss visual novel news and upcoming releases in the visual novel world. Also since it is me Type-Moon comes up like 20 times and we discuss Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I might also eat up the news that Key’s Rewrite sold way below expectations like sweet candy.

The Gravity of Fate

Sadly this article is not about Emperor Dornkirk and the Fate Alteration Engine but about how it is a wonderful time to be a Type-Moon fan. Carnival Phantasm season one recently came out and was hysterical. All was right with the world. Type-Moon then announced that the limited edition of the third season would come with the newest version of Melty Blood for the PC. All was even better with the world. Good Smile made-over their cafe to have a Carnival Phantasm theme. All was awesome with the world. While Type-Moon might be constantly pushing back the date for A Witch on the Holy Night, Girls’ Work seems more mysterious than real, and the Tsukihime remake seems like dream there is tons of good news for Fate/Stay Night fans. Saber fandom über alles!
