[Video] Fate/ Grand Order adds a new Archer

The Seventh servant has now been added to Type-Moon’s Fate/ Grand Order smartphone RPG, and as expected, the new servant is from the Archer class, much like Gilgamesh and Fate/ Stay Night’s Archer (Shirou Emiya).


Designed by PAKO (Rental Magica) and voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki (Haruka Nanase from Free!), this new Archer seems to hail from India because of his skin tone and costume. Now, who ever could he be?

The previously introduced new servants are from the Saber class, the Rider class, Berserker Class,*Caster class, Lancer class and the Assassin class.

Fate/ Grand Order will be Type Moon’s latest smartphone game, which aims to introduce the Fate series to a more mainstream audience. Fate/ Stay Night creator, Kuniko Nasu himself, will be writing the game’s scenario. It is scheduled for release this Summer

Fan gives Pokemon game a Madoka Magica mod

Fans have shown that they have a lot of imagination (as well as a lot of time in their hands) when it comes to their fandom, and one fan has actually showed just that as she has modded a Pokemon game for the Nintendo 3DS to make it look like you are playing a Madoka Magica game.

Mami already learns Tiro Finale at level 15?! That’s pretty early, I hope she keeps her head! But all kidding aside, the modder, Epic Miki, has admitted to a few bugs she has to tweak out. Here are a few gameplay videos of her mod:



She has also posted another video, but this one is about starting up in the game. You can watch that video via her tumblr page

These are the Top 20 sly and villainous anime characters according to Charapedia

In fiction, there will always be those characters who are sly and cunning, and even though most of them*are actually good guys, you can’t help but think they are up to something nasty. For this week’s Charapedia anime poll, the Japanese anime character database has ranked these sly anime characters, who might turn out to be villains themselves.
The poll got 10,000 votes, 45.1% of which are male while 54.9% are female. Though there are hundreds of entries, the poll only showed the Top 20, and they are:
20) Momo Deviluke (To Love-Ru)
19) Komachi Hikigaya (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU)
18) Kyuubey (Madoka Magica)
17) Ami Kawashima (Toradora)
16) Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler)
15) Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion)
14) Charlotte Dunois (IS: Infinite Stratos)
13) Nagisa Hazuki (Free!)
12) Shiroe (Log Horizon)
11)**Chinatsu Yoshikawa (Yuru Yuri)

10) Ume Kurumizawa (Kimi ni Todoke)9) Silica (Sword Art Online)8) Light Yagami (Death Note)7) Nico Yazawa (Love Live!)6) Makoto Hanamiya (Kuroko’s Basketball)5) Shouichi Imayoshi*(Kuroko’s Basketball)4) Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!)3) Nadeko Sengoku (Monogatari series)2) Iroha Isshiki (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU)1) Sougo Okita (Gintama)

Now there you have it, Charapedia’s Top 10 sly and villainous anime characters, which certainly got a few surprises in. #1 ranked Sougo Okita however is absolutely no surprise at all as he seems to always be plotting something, and most of the time, what he’s plotting ain’t very nice.#2 ranked Iroha may seem like a cheeky girl at first, but she is definitely up to something, and #3 ranked Nadeko has already proven that she’s not the nice girl you always thought she is.#4 ranked Izaya meanwhile really deserves to be in the list as his plans have made the life of a certain Shizuo Heiwajima a whole lot more complicated.The results also featured a few surprises, with the biggest one being SAO’s Silica, who many fans have attributed to be a lot more conniving than what she is being presented in the anime.
