A short, breezy episode today, as we cover the quick but affecting epilogue of the Fate route, answer a few questions, and discuss how we feel at the one-third point of Fate/stay night.

Next time we’ll be starting Unlimited Blade Works, the second route of the game, starring Tohsaka ‘Pride Comes Before A Big Win’ Rin! We’ll start with days 1-5, since the first three days should be pretty quick.

The Fate route comes to a close with a dramatic pair of showdowns. Gil vs Saber! Kotomine vs Shirou! And what happens to Saber in the end anyway??

Next time we’ll be covering the Fate route epilogue, answering some questions about the route, and doing our general wrap up of how we feel about the route as a whole. Should be fun and marginally less exhausting than recording this episode was.

We’re only covering two days this time?? Yep, they’re long days as we finally deal with Illya and her pet huge man. Also, your beloved hosts bicker a lot about everything from Utena references to Saber’s gender situation. Combine that with the first sex scene of the route and you’ve one of our punchiest episodes yet!

Next time we’ll be covering days 13-15 of the Fate route! But, we’re not covering the epilogue yet, that will be in a wrap up episode for the whole Fate route.

We’re in the back half of the Fate route now, and it’s time for stuff to actually start happening! We’ve got a big showdown between Servants, our first look at ‘the curse of self healing’, and Rin bare knuckle boxing with our least favorite blue haired loser.

Next time we’ll be covering days 11-12 of the Fate route!

the fate route is warming up in more ways than one as rin moves into shirou's house and makes herself nice and comfy. shirou does his best to drive saber into rin's arms. sakura tries her best to stay in the story but rin's just too strong and it looks like we won't see much of her from here on. illya swoops in to take her place though, sharing a heartfelt conversation and dorayaki with shirou at a park near the shopping district.

next time we’ll be covering days 8-10 of the fate route!

The titular Fate route kicks off with us going back in time to relive the prologue as a different character! Say goodbye to ‘talented mage obsessed with her father’s legacy’ Rin, and say hello to ‘loser mage obsessed with his father’s legacy’ Shirou, the actual main character of this game. We’ll also meet some new characters, including a lovable little girl and her pet guy.

Next time we’ll be covering days 4-7 of the Fate route!

Fate/stay night is finally here, and with it a new era of Type-Moon! No more vampires, we’re now in the era of Holy Grails, Masters and Servants, and secret blood wars you can participate in after you get out of school for the day. In this episode we jump into the shoes of Tohsaka Rin, a young mage who has high hopes for her next gacha pull.

We also spend a little time at the beginning chatting about the end of the Tsukihime days, and our plans for the podcast going forward. This is a good time to jump on board if you’re looking for a place to start!

Next time we’ll be covering days 1-3 of the Fate route!

Shingetsutan Tsukihime (Lunar Legend Tsukihime) is a 12 episode anime that we definitely watched all in one sitting right before we had to record. If we’re a little loopy this time it’s cuz I (Benn) woke up early for that bizarre test of strength and my exhaustion in infectious. But as they say, the true Tsukihime is the friends we made along the way, like our guest Blutweinen!

Next time we’ll be moving on to a whole new era! That’s right, it’s time for the prologue of Fate/ Stay Night. If you’re planning on playing anything alongside the pod, this would be a good one!

Well folks, we spent over an hour of this podcast talking about anything we could think of besides Melty Blood. We also learned a valuable lesson about not trying to play a fighting game the day before we have to record a podcast about the fighting game. Listen on to hear me bitch about controls like a complete scrub, fen struggle to keep us on task, and our guest Marin give us a literal tea recommendation!

Next time we’ll be covering Shingetsutan Tsukihime (Lunar Legend Tsukihime), the whole thing! (We opted against doing episode by episode since OG Tsukihime is so recent)

Um. Well. You remember all those references to a Caligula Effect 2 conversation we were gonna have at the end of last episode? Well, it got really really long, and we split it off into it’s own episode. It’s an odd duck episode, but I think we have a lot of good conversations!

Next time we’ll be covering Melty Blood and the Re-ACT expansion!
