Fate/Apocrypha: New Project of TYPE-MOON4

Source reveals that in the upcoming 7th volume of TYPE-MOON ACE, a new project named Fate/Apocrypha will be announced on December 15. As you might not have learned, according to ANN, Fate/Apocrypha was firstly revealed as an online game set during the story’s Holy Grail War but failed to be released. The latest volume of the magazine will also include a demo of the upcoming Mahoutsukai no Yoru (well, I think it has been delayed for quite a while since 2009) and a mascot figure.

Hirokazu Koyama: SilverRain14

Who’s Hirokazu Koyama (こやま ひろかず, visit blog) ? I guess few people know this guy. But what about when I mention TYPE-MOON any impressions? I guess we are all familiar with Takashi Takeuchi (武内崇) and Nasu Kinoko (奈須 きのこ) who work together and even co-found TYPE-MOON. But Hirokazu Koyama did do lots of good artworks, say Mahoutsukai no Yoru (魔法使いの夜, Witch of the Holy Night) which will be illustrated by Hirokazu Koyama and be released some time this year.

And about this SilverRain (シルバーレイン), I guess fewer people know, especially non-Japanese visitors. SilverRain is an online web page game (to me, it seems like an online galgame) created by TommyWalker, illustrated mainly by Hirokazu Koyama, currently only available in Japanese. Basically I have no idea what this game is about and how it works. I was attracted totally by Hirokazu’s illustrations.

TYPE-MOON Ace1

I’ve seen this many times before but not get to know it until recent. TYPE-MOON Ace (TYPE-MOONエース), firstly published by Kadokawa Shoten (角川書店) as a Comp Ace magazine spinoff, was released on April 21st, 2008. As a late TYPE-MOON fans, I poked around lots of sites to find information on this issue but in vain partly because of the inability of my poor Japanese, and partly because the insufficient info on the web. The issue which was originally sold at 780 YEN had been overpriced in some other countries, or unavailable in some regions.
