after waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling we chat with sakura for a bit before re-meeting the a cast of characters, new and returning, who are all (except gwain) better than they were in extra, then it's off to fight the boss of the game: tohsaka rin. that's right, finally rin gets her own route and... what's this i'm hearing? ah, it's about as thin as unlimited blade works and it turns out that sakura is the big bad of this game. too bad, try again next time rin. this week: fate/extra ccc - rin time and in the mood for love.

next time, we'll be covering chapter 2 of ccc, and late spring (1949) for yuri teatime.

it's time questions, but not before we spend an hour chatting about the itch situation and nsfw content in general. we're moving soon and so we needed to pad out the podcast schedule, thanks for understanding.

next time, we'll be starting fate/extra ccc. we'll be covering the prologue (everything up until the game asks you to save after you meet your servant). for yuri teatime we'll be starting a series of movie-themed yuri teatimes with throw away your books, rally in the streets.

do you know about the riddle of the two birds in the fig tree? you, dear listener, and i, the veteran podcast host, are much like those two birds if you think about it. the only question remaining is which bird are we. are you the bird who eats away at the podcast while i watch on? or are you here to watch me eat the figs, rejoicing as i tear apart the flesh of the fig? please enjoy as we wrap up tns20 and fate/apocrypha.

next time, we'll be covering nothing! we need a break after how busy apocrypha/subahibi were. so please send in questions! we need 'em!

the cycle begins anew. a different benn, a different fen, a different guest, but the setup is the same: a yuri teatime, a fate property, an endless discussion. echos of what came before but something new mixed in as well. and endless parade of loosing fens, all loved by this benn here (and now?). rondo rondo rondo.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of both fate/apocrypha and tsui no sora remake. that's chapters 63-73 of the manga and episodes 23-25 of the anime. for tns we're doing the two remaining views, yasuko and takuji, as well as both epilogues (numinöse i and numinöse ii).

It's time to learn the truth. Questions we demanded answers to. Questions we didn't. A summer night in a field of sunflowers. The beginning, and the end. Well... let's find out if Subahibi is a game about falling, or a game about landing.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of fate/apocrypha volume 4 and episode 20 of the anime. and the remainder of subahibi; that's all three epilogues (go back to the choice in jabberwocky after the first two for a third choice) and knocking on heaven's door, the extra chapter from the fvhd edition. and maybe a reread of rabbit hole 1, we'll see.

my purpose is to finish covering fate/apocrypha, after that i'll disappear. i've tried to keep my distance from benn because i don't want her to be sad when i'm gone. i've held our guests at arms length for the same reason. my life was created for this sole reason and i intend to follow through on that. this week on fate/moon archive: volume 3 chapters 3 and 4 of fate/apocrypha (episodes 16-17 of the anime) and the 5th chapter of subahibi, jabberwocky.

next time, we'll be covering volume 4 through chapter 2 and episodes 18/19 of the anime. and the 6th and 7th chapters of subahibi, which dreamed it and jabberwocky ii.

Bick Hazard is coming.

The sealed nervus uses a Specialized Physics Bug (i.e. an Outer Magic Dark Summons Bug) to plant negative thoughts in the human race. That is the true nature of the battle between the podcasters of this world (Benn Ends, fen fox, etc) and us (the peasants, the revolutionaries, the podcast listeners).
Benn and fen were infected by the Specialized Physics Bug.
The nervus used them to extend the podcast to unsafe and unreasonable lengths (the phenomenon of inducing a low energy state with an eight and a half hour discussion).
And the reason is because the nervus will soon awaken. Bick Hazard is coming.
A podcast will occur!

Next time, we'll be covering the rest of Volume 3 of Fate Apocrypha (episodes 16-17 of the anime), as well as the fifth chapter of Subarashiki Hibi, Jabberwocky.
