Shirobako cements its place as The Roundup’s sleeper hit as Marlin gives it a second chance. Unfortunately most of the the other shows continue to flounder as Yona fights pacing issues, Argevollen stays irrelevant, and I am one blue hedgehog away from dropping SeHa Girls.
Obligated to thank the people who bought the blurays, the Survival Game Club heads out to Miou’s Summer home and crank the fan service meter to 11.
With the park now short on staff, Kanye holds open interviews with laughably low standards. The proceedings are made slightly more interesting when Macaron slips a “Heartseed Fruit” – a magic item that makes people honest – into Fifty’s curry.
Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew (and Marlin) will run down the last week’s new pre-orders, turning a loving or scathing eye over what’s been put out for you to spend your hard earned cash on. This week we have some figures of a few classic character types including magical girls, cat girls, and… mountain climbing girls?
Most of the Glorio crew returns this week but unfortunately it’s to a mediocre batch of episodes. Marlin and I struggle to stick with SeHa Girls among other shows, but at least Aqua and Gee have Shirobako’s interesting topic of 2D vs. 3D animation to save this week from being a total wash.
Out of money and potentially unable to make payroll, Kanye is desperate. He takes the team to investigate rumors of a hidden treasure in the park’s abandoned southern facility, which hides a dangerous underground labyrinth.
Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew (and Aquagaze) will run down the last week’s new pre-orders, turning a loving or scathing eye over what’s been put out for you to spend your hard earned cash on. This week Jel fills in with a surprisingly high dudes to cute girls ratio and totally is not trying to goad on Nisekoi fans.
An abbreviated Roundup this week as some of the Glorio Crew is on the run. Iro narrowly avoids disappointment with Log Horizon, Gee hangs out with Shirobako, Aqua is appalled again by Psycho-Pass, and I’m mildly amused by SeHa Girls return to watchability.
Fifty’s management style (i.e. point gun in face) has worn thin on the staff and tension grows high as Kanye continues to delegate tasks to her. A potentially disastrous flood at the park provides the perfect opportunity for her to prove her value to the team.
Yona gives Marlin whiplash and Argevollen goes berserk on Gee. Iro survives a Log Horizon info dump while Aqua boos and hisses at Psycho-Pass. Chris is still ambivalent on Seven Deadly Sins while I’m 100% sure about my feelings for this week’s episode of SeHa Girls.
Kanye butts heads with Moffle as he takes some drastic actions, including closing the park for a day to clean and lowering the price of admission to 30 yen. The situation worsens between them when Kanye decides to use the girls, including Latifah, in a racy video.
New season, new time slot, new format, new Roundup! Marlin is sticking with Akatsuki no Yona, Argevollen has somehow survived Gee’s cutting block, Aqua is getting Toku in our anime with Garo, Timmy is still eating the Fruit of Grisaia despite our warnings, Chris is keeping the shonen hope alive with Seven Deadly Sins, and I’m content watching 12 minute long Dreamcast commercials with Seha Girls. At least Log Horizon is still cool?
Fifty takes Kanye to a meeting with the Amagi Development Group, represented by the evil Chris Tucker. Kanye learns the full extent of Maple Land’s dilemma, but will sympathy alone be enough to convince him to join as manager?
A bunch of girls get introduced in rapid fire succession to the point where none of them are memorable. The main girl has big boobs and does gymnastics and another creepy girl takes her picture. That’s all I got.
Two years after graduating high school, five friends from the school animation club pursue careers in the anime industry. They find the work is difficult and stressful but the rewards are… well, they have donuts?
Apathetic Isuzu Sento forces prime narcissist Seiya Kanie to take her to an amusement park, though it quickly turns out that Amagi Brilliant Park is long past its prime. After making him experience the park’s miserable state first hand, Isuzu and the park’s manager present Kanie an offer he cannot refuse.
Kaori moves back to a small town where she once lived, but since she’s been gone a massive saucer has appeared in the sky. A mysterious, strangely dressed girl appears in her room and claims to know her from years ago.
Angelise is a princess beloved by her people and next in line for the throne. Her kingdom thrives on a magic power that can only be negated by individuals known as the “Norma”, who are quarantined and treated as sub-human. On the day of her coronation, she discovers a secret that shatters her way of life. Also, there are robots shooting dragons.
Hoping to live a “normal” school life, Yuuji Kazami transfers to a school with only 5 other students, all of them female. They are all weird and probably have some kind of dark secrets. Other than that, I have no idea what is going on.
We say goodbye to the last stragglers of Summer as this season of the Roundup comes to an end. Glasslip leaves Marlin wanting, Aqua is pleasantly surprised by Barakamon, and I’m just sad I have no Sabagebu! header for the final post.
