Another album released by TYPE-MOON as the preparation of the coming movie in January. The CD cover is really well design and Saber looks beautiful in her blond hair. Several tracks are reproduced and are voiced by other artists. The album seems focus on the game side of the series, including both PC and PlayStation 2 platform. Am really looking forward to watch the movie.

Finally the great masterpiece comes. The trailer has been put on Youtube. Will definitely love to see it will be on theater across the world. Forget my daydream and come to the movie part. As you can see the subtitle is UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS (UBW), which means the story of the second route of the Fate/stay night PC game will be put on the big screen. Guess lots of fans of the series, who have played or haven’t played the game, have already known what the story talks about. It’s good to see how Rin becomes the first heroine (sad to find out that the name of Kana Ueda (植田佳奈) was still listed after Ayako Kawasumi (川澄綾子) although both of them are my favorite CVs). Would love to bring more after the release of the movie.

The movie of Anime Kara no Kyoukai finally comes to the last episode. The DVD of the last chapter Kara no Kyoukai Movie 7: Satsujin Kousatsu (Part 2) (劇場版 空の境界 第七章 殺人考察(後)) has just released recently and finally fans like us who don’t live in Japan have chances to enjoy this masterpiece. I’ve long been interested in TYPE-MOON’s works, especially the novel written by Kinoko Nasu (奈須 きのこ).

Well, July is coming and I guess most of you cannot wait for the next Anime flood to be released. Some intro below via Wikipedia. About Canaan: I’ve mentioned about this Anime produced by TYPE-MOON a couple of months ago. Guess it should be the biggest bomb this month (anyway, all TYPE-MOON products are great). For sure, this is a MUST WATCH!

Just found this calendar collection on moe imouto this morning. Featured by all the works of TYPE-MOON, say, Tsukihime, Fate/stay night, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, Fate/unlimited codes, Kara no Kyouka and the coming Anime series of CANAAN and game Witch of the Holy Night (魔法使いの夜, Witch of the Holy Night). Art works illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi (武内崇) and Hirokazu Koyama (こやま ひろかず).

The heat of the Anime Fate/stay night has not yet died out since the latest release of the artbook of Saber. Fate/stay night Saber Portraits (Fate/stay night セイバー写真集) was just released a couple of days before. Fourteen illustrators took part in the creation of the portraits book with over17 illustrations included. The book to me seems like a saber cosply show, many costumes shots are included, say, maid, school gym suit, Yukata and so forth.

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.

Oops, here’s the second round of the wishlist, I don’t even realize that a week has passed. Things work well these days and I’m almost ready to buy a new hosting service, probably some time next week.

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.
