As the Blood Breed recovers and Leo tries to figure out its true name, Zapp’s master calls in his other top student for help. After the incident Black gives White her final mission, leaving her with a very difficult decision to make.
Maybe it’s the incoming Summer heat getting to us or I’m still coming down from the high of Sound! Euphonium episode 8, but a lot shows this week felt like they were just going through the motions. Fortunately the Bromance of My Love Story!! and the unique fantasy of Arslan can still hold things down while the other series aren’t at their best.
Yamada and Miyamura track down the Fourth Witch, a shut-in who hasn’t been to school for some time. She warns them of a potentially major disaster at the school, and using her power the club tries to prevent it.
Despite an impending Blood Breed attack, Zapp continues to live his very unhealthy lifestyle. In the midst of the latest battle, his old Master appears to dish out some tough love.
My frustration with Dogakobo grows as other shows like SNAFU and Arslan quietly do their thing and do it well. Maybe I chose the wrong shows this season? Also, My Love Story MIGHT have a lawsuit on their hands after stealing the Rocky training montage music.
While the rest of the club enjoys their Summer retreat, Yamada is stuck in remedial classes with a small group of other students. Shiraishi tries to swap bodies and bail him out, but their plan falls apart when they encounter the Third Witch.
Leo hangs out with Black and the two bond over the love of their respective sisters. Zapp gets in trouble (allegedly) and the only way Klaus can save him is by fighting in a sweet underground cage fighting tournament.
We’re at the midpoint of the season and the Balance of Power in The Roundup might be shifting. Arslan, Ninja Slayer, and SNAFU’s stocks are on the rise while Mikagura School Suite, Plastic Memories, and possibly even our beloved My Love Story!! are on the decline. Also, Nagato is still moe.
Shiraishi considers the evidence and figures out the nature of Yamada’s power. Yamada’s conflict with Odagiri is compounded by his past history with Ushio, his Best Frenemy who has been by her side since school began.
Euri crashes The Roundup as he catches up on the second season of Baby’s First Harem Nisekoi. Meanwhile, Mikagura School Suite and Plastic Memories flip flop their comedy and action this week and My Love Story!! is still hands down the best thing in this post.
AND WE’RE BACK! Join Jel, Iro, and Marlin in the first episode of the official reboot of the official podcast of The Glorio Blog. We chat about the new season and what’s worth watching and what’s worth skipping. Listen now and find out which one of us can do the best YEEEAAARRTTT!!! (spoiler: we are all terrible).
With Yamada’s help, Shiraishi bonds with her friends on a school trip. Things seem to be going well between the two until Yamada gets tangled in Odagiri’s latest plot to improve her standing with the Student Council President.
Leo gets kidnapped (again) by Aligura, the Queen of Monomania. Klaus knows exactly what she wants and enlists the help of the incredibly handsome (and even more incredibly named) Dog Hammer to stop her.
YEEEART!! Ninja Slayer makes its Roundup debut, My Love Story gets surprisingly explosive, and both Dogakobo shows fail at their attempts to make us sad.
Ito convinces Yamada and Miyamura to help obtain a club budget from the Student Council. Unfortunately the Student Council President has his own agenda and will only grant their request if they can get Shiraishi to change a major life decision.
Leo’s possible vampire sighting is the talk of the Libra office party. The crew goes to investigate a rumored source but will they figure out the vampire’s weakness in time?
My Love Story!! toys with our pure, innocent hearts, Punch Line makes the shortest appearance in Roundup history, and Mikagura School Suite has us thinking Dogakobo is investing all that Plastic Memories money in the wrong show.
Yamada and Shiraishi’s situation gets more complicated when another student legitimately wants to join The Supernatural Research Club. They have no choice but to try and play along, but can they keep their secret with a new member around?
Leonardo is kidnapped by alien cannibals with illusory powers, leading to a sick chase sequence. Klaus prevents the end of humanity by betting his life on a game of Prosfair, an insane, mentally taxing version of Space Chess.
