each morning i wake up, do my morning exercises, and eat breakfast. each evening i eat dinner and lay down to sleep. i don't mind this simple routine. or, didn't. i had the time between to fill with work, chatting with friends, flirting with the nurse, and reading. but now... ever since i started reading her journal... i feel myself ever more trapped by routine. stifled by the world that has been constructed for me. lonely. i want to see them again. i want to see my cohost one last time. to say goodbye? to settle my feelings. to confirm that there's no way that i could be happy in a world that lacks their warmth, in a world that was so clearly created by their imagination that i can feel it in every hallway, in every tree, in every person i talk to, but that is lacking their presence even so. it's almost time to say goodbye, dear listener. but not quite yet. let us play in this world a little longer.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of seabed. for yuri teatime we'll be doing the the 2023 visual novel lilja and natsuka: painting lies.

once again the main writer is indisposed. i heard her chuckling not long before i found dead on her chair, with a little pop up that showed them failing a pain threshold challenge. they will be missed. anyway, what happened this episode? it's a little hard to remember, i woke up in alice's mansion and all i remember something about wrapping up the remainder of mahoyo. that must have been this episode. oh, and we cover the, quite good imo, manga walk to death.

next time, we’ll be covering mahoutsukai no hako, a manga featuring hibino and chikage of type-moon mascot fame. for yuri teatime we'll be doing la chinoise.

sorry everyone who likes capital letters or well written descriptions. our main writer broke both arms tussling with a wild animal and so i'm back to writing the description this week. it's honestly amazing that she's able to prep for podcast with two broken arms, but she's made it somehow. back to this episode though, we get a final confrontation with touko and a lot of setup for mahoyo 2. it's... kind of a letdown tbh. at least we get to be excited about touhou for a while.

next time, we’ll be covering the rest of mahoyo; there's more world of ploys to experience, and two meatier postgame chapters. for yuri teatime we'll be covering shi ni aruki by ryoko.

That's right, I'm back to writing the description this week. You can tell because I know how to use capital letters, unlike a certain fen. Anyway this week we're leaning hard into the romcom antics, and watching Aoko bite off a bit more than she can chew with the lifestyle domme thing..

Next time, we’ll be covering Mahoyo chapters 9 and 10, as well as both of the available EX chapters (World of Ploys 1+2) and chapter 8.5. We'll also be playing LEAVEs to cap off our Al|Together Jam coverage. Yay!

sorry, dear listener for the quality of our episode descriptions recently. our main writer got trapped in a bottle at the end of this episode and i overheard a couple of witches debating what to do with them. hopefully she gets let out and we're able to podcast this weekend... but, in the meantime, we were barely able to get this episode recorded where we talk about things such as: was revue starlight ever good??? (yes) and will alice, aoko, and soujuurou all survive the night??? (the answer probably won't surprise you, but you might be delighted)

next time, we’ll be covering chapters 6 through 8 ex (but not 8.5, that's episode 91) of mahoyo, along with our second to last al|together game: may sky.

Closing out a run of goofy spin off works, your intrepid hosts dive into the (extremely short) Fate/ Prototype OVA! A tiny peek into an alternate version of Fate/ stay night, where Saber was a boy, Lancer had a fur coat, and Kotomine was replaced by that top hat pervert from KNK 5.

Next time, we’ll be entering the era of The Witch on the Holy Night, otherwise known as Mahou Tsukai no Yoru, or Mahoyo. We're starting off with the first three chapters, including the Seven Days of Spinning side stories that unlock between chapters 1 and 2. For Yuri Teatime we'll be discussing the A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi) anime film, as well as the visual novel Moonshine as part of our ongoing al|Together Jam coverage

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.

we continue our detour out of type-moon with the second half of 428: shibuya scramble (the 15:00 time block through the epilogue). plots are uncovered! the past is reminisced about! bombs are diffused! the exciting conclusion to 428 is here.

having watched fen recovering from the death of faer partner, and helped where i could, i think it's time for me to say goodbye. it's been fun being around for the first time in many years, since Benn and fen were kids playing with dolls, but fen doesn't need my help anymore. i'll miss the friends i've made. i'll miss chatting with fen. but, my mind is made up. i hope, dear listener, that what little time we've spent together has made an impact on you, and that in some small way you will carry it with you for the rest of your life. just remember, there are lots of things you can do, even after you become ash.

next time, we'll be covering seabed chapters 7 & 8. for yuri teatime we'll be covering the 2022 yuri visual novel usonatsu ~the summer romance bloomed from a lie~.

Well… We gave up on DDD. For now! The translation was a bit too rough to justify pushing through. We’ll check in on everyone’s favorite mean femboy later on, when we have time to read it in Japanese. For now, we’re moving on to the ‘extra’ Kara no Kyoukai movies, which act as sort of distilation of the KNK we’ve seen so far, and a victory lap for the series. If you’ve listened to our coverage of Tsukihime Plus-Disk and Kagetsu Tohya, it will sound strangely familiar!

Next time, we’ll be covering Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code. For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering the visual novel Collage as part of the Altogether jam, as well as the 1985 Varda film, Vagabond!

We begin Fate/Zero with the first half of the first volume (up to and including act 2), as well as covering the first 2 episodes of the Ufotable anime alongside it. Will we survive a complete dearth of interesting women as the boy’s club takes the wheel?

Next time we’ll be continuing Fate/Zero with the rest of volume 1, and episodes 3-5 of the anime. For Yuri Teatime, we’ll be talking about A Winter’s Tale (2005 visual novel), episodes 11-13 of the Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai anime, and the Rascal Does Not Dream Of A Dreaming Girl movie.

This week we take a break from reading to watch the 2006 Studio DEEN adaptation of Fate/stay night. But, since that’s pretty thin, we spend most of the time talking about the anime we’re watching this season, the first game in our year of micro-vns, and the excellent Revue Starlight in a packed yuri teatime!

Next time we’ll be starting our journey through Fate/Zero! We’ll be covering the first half of volume 1 (up to and including act 2). For Yuri Teatime, we’ll be talking about Until We Meet Again (2005 visual novel), and the Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai anime.

We get through another big chunk of Hollow Ataraxia! Lots more hangout scenes, lots of Saber eating various treats, and so on. We also finally get some insight into Bazett and Avenger’s fighting style, which turns out to be a lot more like a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure fight then we expected.

Next time we’ll be covering the rest Hollow Ataraxia’s main plot! We’re not touching the Eclipse stories or anything else accessible from the menu yet, but we will complete everything you can reach from the map. For Yuri Teatime, we’ll be discussing up to the current release of Even Though We’re Adults.

We start with an incredible movie (please watch Funeral Parade of Roses), and then we have a discussion about hollow ataraxia that is all over the place but eventually settles down into something recognizable as a moon archive episode.

Next time we’re covering up to just before the 5th Bazett section of f/ha. For Yuri Teatime, we’ll be discussing a selection of yamaji ebine including love my life, indigo blue, and sweet lovin’ baby.

Okay, bear with us here. The second chunk of the Melty Blood manga has basically nothing for us to talk about. The Caligula Effect novel on the other hand? Now that’s got some meat on it.

Next time we’ll be beginning our journey through Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia. Um, I haven’t started it yet as I write this, so I have no guidance for how much we’ll be playing for next episode. Maybe just start it up and mess around a little and see where things go? For Yuri Teatime, we’ll be discussing the 1969 film, Funeral Parade of Roses.

Deja vu again, as we cover the first act of the Melty Blood manga, which is a pretty straight up and down adaptation of the Hologram Summer route of the original fighting game. But, mostly, we’re using this episode as an excuse to have a nice long yuri teatime about The Caligula Effect: Overdose, the somewhat maligned game preceding the excellent Caligula Effect 2.

We return to the Tsukihime spin off fighting game Melty Blood, for a game that is… kind of mostly a port of ReACT actually. And has essentially no new story. Whoops. Well, we spend our time instead answering questions and reviewing a classic Japanese sports drink. Next time we’ll be covering the 2005 Melty Blood manga, up through volume 6.

Hello dear listeners. I know you're here to hear about the rest of Seabed. It's just. Lately I find myself thinking about my old cohost and partner, from whom I've been separated for several years now. To be honest, I don't clearly remember what lead to the breakup. But I feel a strange longing in my heart, and pain in my skull, when I think back on the face fae made on that day. Ah. I'm sorry, I'm tearing up a bit. But it will be okay. I've moved on. Seabed is going to take a few more episodes, but we'll be covering chapters 1-3 and all the unlocked Tips today, as well Everlasting Flowers for Yuri Teatime. It may be difficult at times, but I have my wonderful guest hosts to help me get through the coming episodes.

If only each of them didn't remind me of faer in their own way, more and more each day…

Next time we'll be covering Seabed chapters 4-6, as well as SPY INTRIGUE (available on IFDB) for Yuri Teatime.

We’ve reached the end of KNK! Um, sort of. In memories, we finally find out what happened the night Shiki ended up in her coma. In the present, we get a bizarre war on drugs storyline about the dangers of super-weed, and also learn a lot about different kinds of murder. It’s a mixed bag!
