Welcome to Fate/moon archive, a critical deep dive into the worlds of Type-Moon!
Hosts Benn {Doomgender} Ends (they/she) and fen (fae/faer) start in the doujin circle days with Tsukihime, up to the internationally acclaimed Fate/stay night, and towards the modern era of Type-Moon with Fate/Grand Order. We work our way through (loosely) chronologically, playing, watching, and discussing in depth the themes, ideas, and execution of this long running series from a queer perspective. Each episode is supplemented by (loosely) related media ranging from manga, games, yuri, literature, and eroge, to preserve a diversity of lens through which to analyze our main subject.
As the podcast boasting the highest opinion of Tsukihime in the English-speaking world, our taste is impeccable, our guest hosts unimpeachable, and our suffering endless.
Join us, and one day, let’s meet in the digital sea.

Moon Archive 83: Tsuki no Sango
it's back to tsukihime this week... kinda? it's the year 3000, humanity is dying, and arcueid asexually reproduces. probably. tsuki no sango is a mixed bag, but we found enough to chat about.
next time we have a grab bag of two things: room of the april witch and the first volume of koha-ace. and for yuri teatime we're doing the al|together game wanders in the sky, accompanied by the third volume of urasekai picnic and venus meets venus.

Moon Archive 82: Fate/EXTRA [week 6 to end]
it’s a bittersweet goodbye to extra this episode, with all of us liking the journey but being mixed on where it ends up. we can all agree that leo sucks though. what a loser. at least the blue reflection ray chat is all positive though, what a show.
next time! we’re covering all time yuri anime kannazuki no miko; putting the yuri back in yuri teatime. for the al|together game we’re playing visions from the other side. for the main course we’ll be doing tsuki no sango, both the short story and manga adaptation.

Moon Archive 81: Fate/EXTRA [Weeks 4 & 5]
The tidal pressure of the digital see draws us ever deeper… This time we’re covering Fate/EXTRA weeks 4-5, both the Rin and Rani route. They’re uh, not as divergent as you might hope.
Next time, we’ll be covering the end of EXTRA. Send questions! For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering the full run of Blue Reflection Ray, the anime sequel to the jrpg Blue Reflection. On top of that we have The World To Reverse (both hallucinate and Flanca) as part of the Al|together jam.

Moon Archive 80: Fate/EXTRA [Weeks 1-3]
A new journey begins! The digital sea is here! This time we’re covering the beginning of Fate/EXTRA. That’s the prologue and weeks 1-3. In fact, keep playing right up to the route split (you’ll know it when you see it.)
Next time, we’ll be covering weeks 4 and 5 of EXTRA. We’ll be discussing both routes at once! For Yuri Teatime we’ll be covering Persona 3 Portable playing as the girl protag, naturally. On top of that we have Summer, Circadas, and the Girl as part of the Al|together jam.

Moon Archive 79: All Around Type Moon
Today we’re covering a manga based on a drama CD based on the idea of some silly cross-timeline shenanigans between the cast of KNK, Fate/stay night, and Tsukihime. It’s a light read, so for most of the episode fen and Benn just argue about Otherside Picnic.
Next time, we’ll be covering the first 3 weeks of the 2010 RPG, Fate/EXTRA! Well, we’re technically be covering right up to the route split; keep playing after the end of the week 3 fight and you’ll know it when you see it. For Yuri Teatime the 1979 film Stalker. We’ll also be covering Shooting Star Hill as part of the Al|together jam.

Moon Archive 78: Canaan
we watched too much anime for this one! come for the textureless late 2000s anime sludge, but stay for the funny and frank drama about dorky teens grappling with sexuality.
next time, we’ll be covering the entirety of the all-around type-moon manga. for yuri teatime we’ll be covering the first two novels of otherside picnic (just the first omnibus if you have that). we’ll also be covering night of forget-me-nots as part of the al|together jam.
