A flasher has been harassing women in the neighborhood and the Kawaisou crew worry about Ritsu’s lack of situational awareness. Sumiko’s friend owns a very specific themed cafe and tries to recruit Usa when she recognizes his ability to wrangle crazy people.
We’d like to welcome the delightful and talented Chris Walden aka EuricaeriS to the Glorio Blog!
Ping Pong stirs the souls of Gee and Marlin, Iro reminds us that we are still watching The World Is Still Beautiful, and Lifesong actually drops a show!
Shiro returns a missing wallet to the police which happens to be owned by a young elementary school girl. When the girl stops by the Kawai complex to thank him, she… falls in love?
Marlin buries Nanananana, Lifesong takes a break from theoretical politics to rave about Black Bullet and No Game No Life, and I remind everyone Seki-kun x Kana Hanazawa is this season’s OTP.
The Kawai complex residents sit down and analyze how they handle their relationships. Usa takes a genuine interest in one of Ritsu’s books, giving the pair some common ground. Sumiko proposes telling a group story to kill time together, with disturbing results.
Ping Pong delivers the coolest OP of the season, Lifesong geeks out over No Game No Life and not because of the Jojo references, and we have our first official drop of the season. WHAT COULD IT BE???
Usa takes Sayaka’s words to hard and ups his efforts to get closer to Ritsu. He learns more about why Ritsu doesn’t have friends, but his borderline stalker methods might take things too far.
In this week’s episode: Lifesong and Marlin both refuse to drop anything as we unleash our full slate of shows. A certain table tennis anime continues to ping our pong (that sounds disgusting), Nananananana’s Buried Treasure goes for the shotgun blast of anime girl fetishes, and if you look closely you just might find a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure joke.
Usa buys a bike but Ritsu doesn’t seem impressed. Mayumi’s Ex tries to contact her, leaving her with mixed emotions. Sayaka’s flirtatious personality proves to be quite dangerous in more ways than one.
The residents of the complex spend their break together, making giant bubbles, doing laundry, and watching horror movies. Usa meets the fifth and final tenant of the building but she may not be the sweet, normal girl that she appears to be.
This Week: Riddle Story of Devil The Devil’s Riddle continues to keep us delightfully perplexed, I finally get to geek out over Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time a.k.a the Best Show of the Season on a weekly basis, and Lifesong gets to flex his considerable anime-watching muscle on a host of other shows.
We are making some (hopefully) cool changes to our anime coverage! Please tell us if it’s good or if it sucks.
Juugo is excited about transferring to Nanaejima – a high tech artificial island designated as a “Special Student Zone” full of schools. He gets more excitement than he bargained for when he discovers a ghost girl living in his new apartment, the secrets of her past holding out the promise of treasure and adventure.
10 years after losing his childhood friend in an accident, a young man is shocked when a girl that looks just like her transfers to his school. Is her appearance just a coincidence or is she harboring some deeper secrets?
The connection between gods and mankind has grown weak in modern times. Zeus summons a normal high school girl to a special academy to help teach the most out-of-touch deities about humans and love.
Prolific voice actress Kana Hanazawa is best known for her anime work, but she has another “talent” that drives men crazy! Check out this video to find out what it is, but don’t say we didn’t warn you!
With his current mental state leaving him no other options, Tada Banri takes a leave of absence from college and returns home. His past and present collide one more time to determine his future.
With its unique premise, endearing cast, and lovely presentation, Engaged to the Unidentified stretches the bounds of what to expect from a 4-koma anime adaptation. But the series may have gotten in over its head. Join us as we take a final look at Dogakobo’s latest.
Part 2 of our Spring 2014 Anime Guide is headlined by the Noitamina block of shows and a pair of potential big hits in The Irregular at Magic High School and Knights of Sidonia. Add in a RomCom from the author of Love Lab and a few anime original projects and I’m finding the second half of the guide even more intriguing than the first.
