Merry Christmas everyone!
My presents received consisted of clothes and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens from my brother. As for the gifts I got my family, I bought wine that we’ll be trying out tonight that hopefully turns out to be enjoyable.
What presents did everyone else get?
I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend.

Figma – Kagami Hiiragi: Summer Uniform ver.
As I was looking around on AniDB while writing my Winter season preview post, I saw that there will be a Fate/stay night TV remake consisting of 2 OVAs being released around the same time that the movie airs (1/23/2010).
There will be some new animation that includes a newly animated opening and also new ending theme songs.
I personally have not seen the Fate/stay night TV series in ages, so this will be a nice refresher.

Considering that there are currently four figmas out just of Saber, let’s take a look at them.
Added four new banners in addition to the one that I’ve been using recently. I decided to implement random banners to make the blog a bit more dynamic.
For those interested in how I did it: I used Matt Mullenweg’s Random Image Script, which is just some short php code. Instructions for usage are on that site as well.
As for the banner images, they’re all from the Saber Portraits art book.
A trailer for the upcoming Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works movie was shown at Comiket 76!
The quality isn’t too good due to the surrounding noise, but at least we get to see it:
The animation quality appears to be superior to the Fate/stay night anime from 2006, as would be expected after a few years and considering that this is a theatrical release. (The blood gushing out of Shirou’s arm – very nicely done! ^^).
The action scenes look breathtakingly intense as well, with appearances by a considerable number of the Fate/stay night cast. Even with the surrounding noise, one can hear the epic/heroic music being played in the trailer.
Seeing it just makes me anticipate the movie all the more! >_<

As you have probably noticed, I replaced the old banner with a new one that is from the Fate/stay night: Saber Portraits art book. I got the high resolution scan from Safebooru.
Felt that it would be nice to have some new scenery.
Anyways, back to writing my term papers and studying for finals. To anyone else doing the same: Ganbatte!
For those who haven’t checked yet, the Fate/stay night Movie website has been updated. It now shows a release date of 1/23/2010, so still half a year to go before it’s in theaters in Japan. Though highly unlikely, it would be awesome to see it in theaters here in the United States. =/
Looking through the menu on the site, some related merchandise is also shown. There appears to be a poster of Saber Lily in casual clothes (do want!) along with two different t-shirts. One is lime green with a chibi Saber (?) outlined in white and the other is white with Saber outlined in white on a black background. I’m assuming these products will be difficult to acquire for us foreigners.
I wonder if this Saber related merchandise has anything to do with the film?

I recently received the Saber Portraits art book in the mail after ordering it from a book store in Japan. The shipping option I chose was SAL (Economy Air) since I wanted to test out how long it took to arrive and because it was cheaper. It took around 3 weeks to get here from Japan to California. =/
Fate/stay night movie is in the making due to the release of an official site for it.
I don’t know what to say, I’m beyond overjoyed considering Fate/stay night is my favorite series/universe. There’s basically no information on the movie at the moment, but hopefully we’ll get to see all the characters in the movie (especially Saber).
A dream come true.
