November 13, 2009 - Downloads Down + Some old updates

Okay folks I was planning on making my next update a few days ago when I notice that the site that was hosting all my files for the manga downloads and videos went down. I'm not sure what happen as the site was loan to me for hosting those files went dead and I haven't gotten into contact Chendo to see what happen. I notice on the Mirrormoon site that the group hasn't been active so its possible this is one of the reasons why the host went dead on me. Hopefully I can get it back up or else for now I will have to place them on filesharing sites like Rapid Share or 4Shared like I did in the past before getting the hosting site. I'm even having headaches with my mp3 host, Fileden, for my Music Playlist as they are saying they are doing maintance to their system but its been about 2 weeks and nothing has happen yet, ARG.

Well as for my excuse for not updating this site in October, I was planning to do so about mid-way through the month, I even had the update 50% ready, but I just lost my interest in doing so and shifted my focus on my football fantasy league and playing a lot of Texas Hold'em online, for no money I might add, to do something not related to anime or manga. What got me back into the game was my plans to revamp this site with a new design that would have some things similar to what I have now but in a less clutter way. For example, designing the site to be viewed in 1080 resolution and not spreading across so many pages you have to used the Page Down button to find an old update, like the August 11 post down below. I'm also planning to look into adding a comment section to my posts to be more interactive and on the go instead of having you go to my Guestbook site to do the same thing.

Well while a bit late here are the updates I had ready not including what would have been my manga posts for the month of October. There will be some things missing as I need to gather the updates that have appeared in November and redo some of the info from October to be as accurate as possible.

- Canaan -

The TV series has ended but with the manga just starting as well as the movie editions that will come in the future this series is far from being over. Heck depending on its success a sequel series or game maybe in the works with the open ended way it concluded.

- Fate/Stay Night -

Before I start with the movie update, while I was looking for more info on the FSN movie, I found this short review on the game play for Fate/Hollow Ataraxia that some, particularily the ones who haven't playey it yet, might want to check out before playing the game itself to get a feel on what you have to do to beat it. As for the movie, it had been announce the movie will only have a run time of about 90 minutes. Nothing much else except for a few promotional material appearing on the official site with shirts, posters, magazine appearances and the special pre-order tickets.

- http://gndynames.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/fatehollow-ataraxia-zomg-i-finally-started-playing/

There has also been a news announcement that a new FSN game is being developed by Marvelous Entertainment entitled "Fate/Extra" which is set to be release on the PSP. Instead of playing in the traditional visual novel genre, the game will be using a dungeon crawler RPG with battle segments, like in Final Fantasy, with the user being able to select the gender of the main character and meeting some of the characters from FSN like Rin though for the servents they have appeared in different uniforms. The game is said to be about 60% complete and its been given, for now, a March 2010 release date.

The last movie for Rakkyo is set for its DVD release on December 9, 2009 with the regular and limited editions with their regular set-up of material from the previous releases. No word yet on when the epilogue episode will be release though I have a feeling at the next Comiket convention an announcement will be made either of its date or its actual release for which I really need to find how I'm going to get that release :O .

- http://www.karanokyoukai.com/dvdz/dv07.html

- Other News -

By the way, "Mahoutsukai no Yoru (Witch on the Holy Night)" has change its release date from the fall 2009 to sometime in 2010. There is an expectation that the reason of the postponement is because of Kinoko Nasu being to busy as he's been playing too much "Demon's Souls".

September 23, 2009 - Manga Releases + Site News

I had plans to do this earlier in the month but because of various circumstances ranging from an illness in the family, to me doing more work at my job, to helping my brother start moving from my house to his new home, mourning the loss of ToLoveRu... no more Yui-chan :( , to even doing my 1st fantasy football draft and losing my 1st 2 games, ARG!!! The end of August to the middle of September has been a strange/complicated time for me to work this site into my schedule. So much so that Xephfyre couldn’t wait any longer and de-bind his copy of Volume 6 of Melty Blood and did the complete scanlation of chapters 27 to 32 to finish the 1st Act of the series. Even the scanlation tag-team of Twilight Dreams Scans, DBR & Ala-Atra have almost caught up with the 2nd Act storyline with the release of chapters 5 to 7, leaving the extra chapters and future chapters to be completed on future dates.

So for now I’m only going to list all the available chapters and a few other things and leave the latest news updates for my next post since I need to catch up again on whatever news I miss since last week.

- Melty Blood -

- Melty Blood Act 1 Scanlated Downloads - Chapter 27, Chapter 28, Chapter 29, Chapter 30, Chapter 31, and Chapter 32.
- Melty Blood Act 2 Special Stage RAW Chapter 2 - Download Here
- Melty Blood Act 2 Type-Moon Ace Extra #03 - Download Here
- Melty Blood Act 2 Scanlated Downloads - Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Chapter 7

- Fate/Stay Night -

Chapter 44 RAW is available to download: Get it here.

- Canaan -

- Chapter 2 RAW is available to download and can be downloaded here. Note: This chapter does contain nudity like in the 1st episode of the anime Li Quang though with the nipples showing here.
- A special 4-page chapter was also made though I not sure if it was for this month's issue of "Comp Ace" or from the "Type-Moon Ace" magazine. It features the cast at the beach taking time off. It can be downloaded here.
- I'll be posting the list for the episode reviews for ep 7 to probably the last episode, 13, by the time I'm ready for the next update but from my wondering on the net I found what appears to be a leak version of the ending for the series and it can be view here if you can't wait to be spoiled: Visit here.

And to finish things off for now, here are some more Type-Moon images I've found off the various image board sites that I visit on a daily bases:

August 24, 2009 - FSN movie + Rakkyo update; CM 76 news

A short update today as the 1st trailer for the new Fate/Stay Night movie appeared at the opening day for CM 76 with what appears to be higher quality animation though that was how it was with the 1st trailer for the TV series so it will be interesting if they can keep it up all through the movie and have better chorograph fight scenes. The video can be view below. You can also see some of the other upcoming trailers for the new season from the 2nd "Shakugan no Shana" OVA to "To Aru Kagaku no Railgun" here: http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/22730/Epic+Upcoming+Anime+Trailers.html

Evospace has posted a short blog on the release of the 7th Rakkyo movie and can be viewed here, http://www.akiba-ch.com/?p=1185 . Also a full scan of the "Mirai Fukuon/recalled out summer" novel/manga that was release last year in CM74 and later in retail stores is now available to download in RAW format. Only the 3 short manga stories drawn by Takeuchi have been translated and scanlated, by varous members from the Beast's Lair forum site, and they to can be downloaded in the Rakkyo section under the "Special Downloads" section at the bottom.. I don't know if another group is working on a translation for the novel story or it will be published in the future by Del Ray once they finish doing the 7 chapters from the 1st 2 novels. He also has a few other posts on his days at CM76 and can be view from below.

August 11, 2009 - FSN Movie Update and Various TM News

It offiical as the new movie for Fate/Stay Night will be primarily focus on the "Unlimited Blades Work" path of the game. The premirer date for the movie is set for January 23, 2010. All the original cast and crew will be returning to reprise their roles.

Studio/Crew
Original Concept TYPE MOON
Director Yamaguchi Yuuji
Character Design Megumi Ishihara
Animation Studio Studio DEEN
Characters
Cast
Saber Kawasumi Ayako
Archer Jun’ichi Suwabe
Rin Ueda Kana
Sakura Shitaya Noriko
Kotomine Kirei Jouji Nakata
Emiya Shirou Noriyaki Sugiyama
Illyasviel Von Einzbern Kadowaki Mai
Rider Asakawa Yuu
Taiga Ito Miki

Promotional material for the new movie is already being announce along with the releases of the 7th volume of Melty Blood, the 10th volume of Fate/Stay Night and the 3rd issue of Type-Moon Ace. Nothing yet has been announce for the 7th volume of Tsukihime as its been over a year and a half since the last volume was release in March 2008... . Also in the September 09 issues of Comptique and Newtype, special materials have been included to celebrate the 7th movie of Rakkyo and the PS2 release of Melty Blood Actress Again with articles on the FSN movie and Canaan. One important information I just found out is that the epilogue story for Rakkyo appears to not have been included with the 7th movie at the theatres but will be either be release as a OVA or a special movie in a future date. Detailed below:

Entitled " Kara no Kyoukai: Epilogue", the story takes place about a month after the end of the 7th movie/chapter where Mikiya and 「 」 are having a conversation while it is snowing in the background.

Nasu Kinoko said that the chapter is the essential part of the whole series, so Ufotable proposed a separate movie instead of adding extra 5min part at the end of the chapter 7.

Hopefully in a way this leads Ufotable in releasing the Mirai Fukuin/recalled out summer novel/mangas in anime form and ends the movie with the epilogue to sadly close out this great series.
