The Roundup: Summer 2017 Volume 1

With first episodes spanning over three weeks, we’re a bit late firing up the Roundup this season. But hey, we’re here now to talk about Welcome to the Ballroom, Restaurant to Another World, Fastest Finger First, and Kakegurui, plus catchup with Sakura Quest and Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul. Let’s do this!

First Look: Angel’s 3Piece!

Kyou is a shut in who can barely speak above a whisper, but he’s so passionate about song writing that he posts his music online.

First Look: Knight’s & Magic

A gunpla nerd and programmer extraordinaire is killed in a traffic accident then reincarnated into a fantasy world. Despite being reborn, he still remembers his past life and his love of robots inspires him to become a Knight Runner – pilots of giant magical armor that look a lot like anime mecha.

Five Years of GLORIO: 2016 and Beyond

On a fateful day in July 2012, we created our first post. To commemorate this special occasion, we decided to relive our favorite part of forcing ourselves to watch every anime that ever comes out: the surprises. Just about every season a show or two pops up out of nowhere and turns out to be pretty good, and we wanted to give a shout out to a few you might of missed. In today’s post we’re looking at 2016, which was such a good year for anime that it almost takes up a post of its own.

The Roundup: Spring 2017 Volume 11

It’s the last Roundup of the season and we say goodbye to… not much actually.

So… farewell, Little Witch Academia, we’ll see you when you finally get officially released on Netflix.
