rani is back and this time they didn't forget to write her a character! (un)?fortunately her character is even more "wife" than rin was. most of the chapter is still clearly in the mode of setting up for the main focus of the game, and while rani has some funny moments it's far from the best ccc has to offer. oh, and we (the one's who didn't know already, at least) find out the pink lancer's name. at least late spring was a banger.

next time, we'll be covering ccc chapter 3. or, that's what you'd expect. instead we're covering a bunch of games from the toxic yuri jam. no yuri teatime because that's basically the entire episode. and i'm not going to include a full list because we cover almost 50 games, stay tuned next week and play some toxic yuri games yourself! i'd recommend moth x flame, personally.

after waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling we chat with sakura for a bit before re-meeting the a cast of characters, new and returning, who are all (except gwain) better than they were in extra, then it's off to fight the boss of the game: tohsaka rin. that's right, finally rin gets her own route and... what's this i'm hearing? ah, it's about as thin as unlimited blade works and it turns out that sakura is the big bad of this game. too bad, try again next time rin. this week: fate/extra ccc - rin time and in the mood for love.

next time, we'll be covering chapter 2 of ccc, and late spring (1949) for yuri teatime.

it's time questions, but not before we spend an hour chatting about the itch situation and nsfw content in general. we're moving soon and so we needed to pad out the podcast schedule, thanks for understanding.

next time, we'll be starting fate/extra ccc. we'll be covering the prologue (everything up until the game asks you to save after you meet your servant). for yuri teatime we'll be starting a series of movie-themed yuri teatimes with throw away your books, rally in the streets.

do you know about the riddle of the two birds in the fig tree? you, dear listener, and i, the veteran podcast host, are much like those two birds if you think about it. the only question remaining is which bird are we. are you the bird who eats away at the podcast while i watch on? or are you here to watch me eat the figs, rejoicing as i tear apart the flesh of the fig? please enjoy as we wrap up tns20 and fate/apocrypha.

next time, we'll be covering nothing! we need a break after how busy apocrypha/subahibi were. so please send in questions! we need 'em!

the cycle begins anew. a different benn, a different fen, a different guest, but the setup is the same: a yuri teatime, a fate property, an endless discussion. echos of what came before but something new mixed in as well. and endless parade of loosing fens, all loved by this benn here (and now?). rondo rondo rondo.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of both fate/apocrypha and tsui no sora remake. that's chapters 63-73 of the manga and episodes 23-25 of the anime. for tns we're doing the two remaining views, yasuko and takuji, as well as both epilogues (numinöse i and numinöse ii).

It's time to learn the truth. Questions we demanded answers to. Questions we didn't. A summer night in a field of sunflowers. The beginning, and the end. Well... let's find out if Subahibi is a game about falling, or a game about landing.

next time, we'll be covering the remainder of fate/apocrypha volume 4 and episode 20 of the anime. and the remainder of subahibi; that's all three epilogues (go back to the choice in jabberwocky after the first two for a third choice) and knocking on heaven's door, the extra chapter from the fvhd edition. and maybe a reread of rabbit hole 1, we'll see.
