Fate/moon archive

The festival is starting! This time your intrepid hosts are covering the manga Take-Moon and the anime adaptation Carnival Phantasm! Coming on the tail end of a lot of goofy spin offs, Carnival Phantasm is something of a tone setter for Type-Moon comedy going forward. Is that a good thing, or…? We also cover a cornucopia of Menhera VN Jam games, and even answer some emails that we’ve been punting for a while.

Next time, we’ll be covering the Fate/ Prototype OVA that was released as an extra episode for Carnival Phantasm. For the Al|together Jam, we’re covering The Letter, and for Yuri Teatime we’ve got Divine Despair Deviance, a Menhera Jam game we didn’t make it to this time.

Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox). Guest featuring Blutweinen (@Blutweinen on Bluesky)

In what may be our shortest episode ever, your beloved hosts come together to (nominally) discuss Melty Blood X, a short Back Alley Alliance spin off story. In practice, we mostly talk about Malcatras’ Maiden and Void Stranger. They’re a lot more fun, honestly.

Next time, we’ll be covering the Carnival Phantasm anime along with Take-Moon, the manga it’s based on. For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering a grab bag of entries from the 2024 Menhera VN Jam. We’ll also be covering Crimsoness as part of the final phase of our Al|together Jam project.

In Which Two Girls Lean Heavily On The Yuri Teatime Segment

We have a couple small things this week to give us a break before the impending Mahoyo. First up: Room of the April Witch, a one off standalone short story. Second: Koha-Ace, a one volume meta gag manga that nominally stars Kohaku. It’s a bit of a light episode.

Next time, we’ll be covering the Melty Blood X manga, as well as the visual novel Malcatras’ Maiden. We’ll also be covering from the bottom of my heart as part of the al|together Jam.

it's back to tsukihime this week... kinda? it's the year 3000, humanity is dying, and arcueid asexually reproduces. probably. tsuki no sango is a mixed bag, but we found enough to chat about.

next time we have a grab bag of two things: room of the april witch and the first volume of koha-ace. and for yuri teatime we're doing the al|together game wanders in the sky, accompanied by the third volume of urasekai picnic and venus meets venus.

The tidal pressure of the digital see draws us ever deeper… This time we’re covering Fate/EXTRA weeks 4-5, both the Rin and Rani route. They’re uh, not as divergent as you might hope.

Next time, we’ll be covering the end of EXTRA. Send questions! For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering the full run of Blue Reflection Ray, the anime sequel to the jrpg Blue Reflection. On top of that we have The World To Reverse (both hallucinate and Flanca) as part of the Al|together jam.

A new journey begins! The digital sea is here! This time we’re covering the beginning of Fate/EXTRA. That’s the prologue and weeks 1-3. In fact, keep playing right up to the route split (you’ll know it when you see it.)

Next time, we’ll be covering weeks 4 and 5 of EXTRA. We’ll be discussing both routes at once! For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering Persona 3 Portable playing as the girl protag, naturally. On top of that we have Summer, Circadas, and the Girl as part of the Al|together jam.

Today we’re covering a manga based on a drama CD based on the idea of some silly cross-timeline shenanigans between the cast of KNK, Fate/stay night, and Tsukihime. It’s a light read, so for most of the episode fen and Benn just argue about Otherside Picnic.

Next time, we’ll be covering the first 3 weeks of the 2010 RPG, Fate/EXTRA! Well, we’re technically be covering right up to the route split; keep playing after the end of the week 3 fight and you’ll know it when you see it. For Yuri Teatime the 1979 film Stalker. We’ll also be covering Shooting Star Hill as part of the Al|together jam.

we watched too much anime for this one! come for the textureless late 2000s anime sludge, but stay for the funny and frank drama about dorky teens grappling with sexuality.

next time, we’ll be covering the entirety of the all-around type-moon manga. for yuri teatime we’ll be covering the first two novels of otherside picnic (just the first omnibus if you have that). we’ll also be covering night of forget-me-nots as part of the al|together jam.
