Moon Archive 85: Melty Blood X

In what may be our shortest episode ever, your beloved hosts come together to (nominally) discuss Melty Blood X, a short Back Alley Alliance spin off story. In practice, we mostly talk about Malcatras’ Maiden and Void Stranger. They’re a lot more fun, honestly.

Next time, we’ll be covering the Carnival Phantasm anime along with Take-Moon, the manga it’s based on. For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering a grab bag of entries from the 2024 Menhera VN Jam. We’ll also be covering Crimsoness as part of the final phase of our Al|together Jam project.

Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends) and fen (@fenic_fox).
