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.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join our loyal readers and our latest batch of weekly anime coverage. For Spring 2015 we’ll be rounding up Mikagura School Suite, My Love Story!!, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-Chan, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!, Plastic Memories, The Heroic Legend of Arslan and starting next week, Punch Line. I now pronounce you man/woman/other and waifu, you may read the post.
Yamada is a delinquent, Shiraishi is a model student. The two want nothing to do with each other until one day they accidentally tumble down the stairs together and mysteriously switch bodies. Another student catches on to their secret and promises to help if they join the Supernatural Studies Club.
Eruna wants to a go to a high school where she can wear a cute uniform and make out with girls. After seeing a hot girl in a brochure she decides to attend Mikagura Academy, a school in which cultural clubs do battle for glory and sweet accommodations.
The SAI Corporation has developed a series of androids called “Giftia” that are nearly indistinguishable from humans. The only catch is they have a 9 year life span before they must shut down and have their memories erased. Tsukasa Mizugaki begins his new job with SAI’s Terminal Service, tasked with retrieving the Giftia when they run out of time.
Hibiki Amami is starting high school. She can see and communicate with supernatural beings which, hilariously enough, includes cats. She tries to befriend the class rep, who hates all things related to the occult.
The Goddesses have chosen to live as humans and have descended to the land of Orario. They grant powers to their Familias – groups of their followers that are dedicated to exploring the eponymous Dungeon for riches and glory, etc. etc. Bell, the sole follower of the Goddess Hestia, is inexperienced and weak but is determined to get stronger so he can attract girls.
EVERYBODY! PUT YOUR HANDS UP! The games have ended and it’s time to pass judgement on Death Parade. The follow up to 2013’s one shot Death Billiards is full of emotional highs and lows, but do the moods swing too much for its own good? Join Jel, Artemis, and Aquagaze as they share their final thoughts on the series.
We say a bitter sweet goodbye to all our Winter Roundup shows, or at least until we give our Final Thoughts on most of them later this week.
Welcome to the Lost and Found, our convoluted question and answer segment where we tackle the most pressing issues from our recent search terms. Whether it’s a perfectly innocent inquiry about your favorite anime or a search that makes us question the depths of human depravity, we are here for you. In this edition, Jel curates the finest in anime music, art, and poetry for the most mature and dignified experience the Glorio Blog has ever seen.
More death and tragedy all over the place as Garo, Death Parade, Yatterman, and Yurikuma continue to deny us happiness. Fortunately Shirobako delivers the best episode of the season, but even that makes us shed a tear for completely different reasons.
The final part of our guide goes in strong on the nostalgia with new Digimon and Lupin III series, plus we get Trigger’s latest attempt to SAVE ANIME with Ninja Slayer. Meanwhile, I go against my better judgement and remain cautiously optimistic about Punchline and Yamda-kun and the 7 Witches, two comedies that probably won’t be winning any Anime of the Year awards. Maybe I’m just getting worn down by all this new anime? Take a look and decide for yourself.
Part 2 of our guide features Dogakobo and Kyoto Animation slugging it out to see who can be cuter, while a good portion of the Glorio Crew has their eyes on Blood Blockade Battlefront, which is somehow NOT created Ryougo Narita. Meanwhile Sanrio attempts to steal money from Otaku with the creepy Show by Rock!! and Rainy Cocoa gives me an excused to reference the end of the the first season of The World God Only Knows.
