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.
Weeks after the U-19 Championship match, our heroes attend the Meijin Cup Contest. For the first time in perhaps Try’s entire run, it finally remembers what made Gundam Build Fighters so good in the first place. Gunpla addicts Gee and Iro share their thoughts about the sequel to the hottest toy commercial of 2014, and why exactly it failed to live up to those expectations.
If you go about doing a season preview, it is only obvious you also close off on a season review. In The Wrap-Up, all of our contributors get to shine a spotlight on the show they thought to be the very best of the past few weeks, as well as reflect back on the preview to…
Apparently the pirate was stealing Moonlight Stones to get her own alien into space. Why? Who cares. The people making this show clearly don’t.
Perhaps one of the biggest breakout stars of the Winter 2015 season, Yatterman Night was a heartfelt romp rife with adventure, unyielding optimism, and bleak dystopia in equal measure. Join Gee, Iro, and Marlin as we talk about what might very well be the best of the 21st century Tatsunoko adaptations.
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.
After countless schedule slips, crushed dreams and mental breakdowns, Aoi and her colleagues at Musashino Animation have finally wrapped up production on their adaptation of The Third Aerial Girls Squad. Join Aqua, Gee and Marlin as we go don-don-donuts and look back on Shirobako, a one-of-a-kind phenomenon no self-respecting anime fan should miss.
The beloved tokusatsu franchise took a side trip to a sword-and-sorcery-inspired Middle Ages for its animated début. Turned out 15th century Spain had just as many black-leather wearing brooding bad boys and salacious succubi as present-day Tokyo! With some help from Rage of Bahamut and Terror in Resonance animation wizards MAPPA and Kamen Rider alumnus Yasuko Kobayashi, however, The Carved Seal of Flames became a lot more than the sum of its parts. Bloody brothers Aqua and Gee bring the final verdict on this metal opera brought to life.
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.
Arriving back on Earth, Bellri and the Megafauna find themselves caught between the Amerian and Capital Army. Between the various factions and the G-IT Corps in hot pursuit, it seems global war is inevitable. Determined to bring an end to the fighting once and for all, Bellri sets out one last time to prove he can bring peace to the world.

Team Try Fighters faces off against the Gunpla Academy for the National Championship. There’s lots of shouting and questionable power creep.
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.
Searching for the location of Dio’s mansion, the crew must gamble their souls against the mysterious and dangerous Daniel J. D’arby.
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.
Lots of local scumbags have been proudly flying the Dollars banners lately, and Mikado finds out far too late. Prompted by Izaya’s message on the Dollars message board, Ikebukero’s worst head out to abduct Rokujo’s girlfriend and ‘assist’ Kadota in fighting the guy himself.
