Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya #010: King of Magical Girls! Do you have enough swords?

hisui_icon_4040 Well that was slightly shorter than I expected but that might just be a case of the KISS principle in effect (and not that Illya and Miyu dance to Rock and Roll All Nite at the end.) The original Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya was fairly short so it’s probably better that they just let the series run only 10 episodes with a minimal amount of filler rather than trying to stretch 10 episodes into 13.

It reminds me of a time when people complained about filler for filler’s sake and unnecessary stalling for ongoing series.  Anime fans were always asking for shorter seasons and breaks between them. Now that budgets have made it that series tend to be shorter and more often cut into multiple seasons with gaps in between I see more complaining about series being shorter.

I guess it just proves no matter which way you choose, you lose.

Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup: Magical Girl Injustice

  • And the Other Half
    Of the picture above.
  • There is no End to Sin
    The first people to attend the Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukuin showing in theaters will get an extra special original story by Nasu called Shumatsu Rokuon/The Garden of Oblivion. Can they make that the next movie based on this movie. So they can release another original story there and thereby create a perpetual motion machine of Kara no Kyoukai.
  • Flying Fists of Fury
    The 8th and 9th chapters of Hana no Miyako! have been translated. Miyako starts laying down some kung fu justice.
  • I Am Now Curious About That Fate HWS Doujinshi
    It is mostly an article explaining what Comic Market is to MTV viewers but it does have a whole paragraph on Type-Moon so I thought it was worth a mention. Also if you were interested I did find this on ebay.
  • Poor Saber Can Only Afford a Shirt
    Some HEATHEN talks about Saber in a suit not being a great Saber variation. We should all look beyond that fallacy and instead see the great message of the article which is about the new Fate/Zero Saber figure who is only wearing a shirt.
  • A Prism Shined on Kyomafu
    There were lots of shows at the 2nd Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair but I felt I should mention the presence of a Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya booth.
  • She’s an Ice Pop Hero
    Speaking of Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya they have announced that Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! has been green-lit.
