| 5:44pm | Saber Lily Good Smile Figure |  | | | This lovely new figure from Good Smile is the full sized and scaled version of their previous limited edition Figma Saber Lily that came bundled with the PS2 game Fate/Unlimited Codes. Fans of Saber should be elated, as this seems to be an unparalleled figure of her likeness, perhaps only challenged... | | |
| 7:08am | Game Break - Fate/Unlimited Codes | | | | “I am the bone of my sword” With the success and popularity of the Tsukihime spin-off of fighting games Melty Blood, I’m sure there were many like myself who have wondered when Type-Moon would give Fate/Stay Night a similar treatment. There was the fan 2D fighting game Fatal/Fake,... | | |

In collaboration with Apple, Type-Moon will be also including videos and music tracks into this iPod along with some illustration artworks. The back of the ipod is engraved with the Fate/Stay Night logo making it a worthy collectable for... | | |
| 12:00am | Someone’s showing a bit of character: Setsuna F. Seiei (Gundam 00) | | | | There is a pretty strong opinion on how Setsuna F. Seiei fails. Hard. At the time the post was written I was more than less in agreement with it. Having said that, I rather enjoyed Setsuna’s character in season one, particularly with how he wanted to be a Gundam himself, and not just a pilot... | | |
| 8:05am | Ueda Kana as Fukuzawa Yumi is yuriliciously uke | | | | Am I the only one to think that Yumi’s intro lines for the OP of the fourth season of Maria-sama ga Miteru contained a hint of her kansai accent? Perhaps it’s because I’ve read Erica’s notes on the 18th MariMite novel where the author, Konno Oyuki, has Yumi say something in Kansai... | | |
| 10:48am | Touhou DS & Fate/stay night DS |  | | | Doujin soft (or homebrew as we might say) Nintendo DS fan ports of both danmaku shooter Touhou and classic visual novel Fate/stay night have emerged, in both cases in English. Fans of such may wish to check them out: Touhou DS 0.7 looks to be functional, though not complete, and for those without... | | |
| 7:50pm | Developer’s Diaries: Fate/Meta Narrative |  | | | A newly-minted enmity of mine is the Fate/stay night anime, especially when those watching it have yet to read the visual novel in all its glory; as all adaptation purists are so disposed to argue, the quality of the former when juxtaposed against the latter forms a significant portion of that criticism,... | | |
| 6:33pm | Fate/stay night re-watched | | | | After having finished the Fate/stay night game I took the time in the last few days to watch the anime version a second time and I’d say it’s pretty okay. I enjoyed it much more than the first time, although I knew from the start that much of the really interesting stuff won’t be featured.... | | |
| 5:10pm | 2008/2009 Winter Anime Menu | | | | Super delayed preview, as always! woohoo!! Better late than never, right? It’s that time of the year when the chefs get together and actually post something to bring you this comprehensive list of animes due this season. Without further ado, we bring to you this almost complete list of this sequel-filled... | | |
| 9:27pm | 2008 in Review: Slowblog.jpg |  | | | And now for something completely different. I’m convinced that I’m going to wake up one day and find that my eternal nemesis self-proclaimed rival fellow blogger bateszi has been one step ahead of my life all this time, pulling the strings of my internet existence like a puppeteer’s... | | |

| 2:09pm | 2008 in Review: The Only Moment They Were Alone |  | | | 2008 didn’t feel all that ‘anime’ for me. Honest. I think that the prolonged absence from my blog and the internet in general might have something to do with it, but I could be wrong. It was a Rip Van Winkle moment when I realised that, Code Geass aside, my peers were writing about... | | |
| 5:42am | Year in Review: Type Moon Redemption | | | | Heaven’s Feel is now fan-translated, so that rounds out the entire original Fate/stay night game. Kara no Kyoukai (the prose) rakes in a professional, English translation and release. Even if it’s just for one chapter, with full book(s) on the way. More Ciel figures than ever! And Over... | | |
