The Grail-kun Advice Column

I think that the Love Detective Hisui advice column was wildly successful. Clearly there is an untapped market for an advice column for Otaku on the Internet. Sadly Love Detective Hisui was busy helping Otaku find love and was too busy to do a column today.

Narutaki & Hisui VS. 2011

We are here on the red carpet in scenic Brooklyn for the 5th annual Reverse Thieves Anime and Manga Awards. All the stars are here and decked out in their finest.

So of course I bring them back in the most predictable way possible.

This year has been a great year for Type-Moon fans. Fate/Zero on TV, Carnival Phantasm being awesome, wonderful figures being released, Fate/Extra being released in English, and so much more. I decided to take my favorite 5 moments from this year’s Type-Moon bonanza. For better or for worse they are not just pictures like this.
