OP/ED Op-Eds: The Best of Winter 2014

It’s the end of yet another anime season, so amidst all the final impressions, we also try to choose our favourite anime theme songs of the season.

GLORIO Spring 2014 Anime Guide Part 2

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.

Review: “Babymetal” – Babymetal

With their self-titled debut album skyrocketing up the charts faster than you can sacrifice a three-legged goat to the prince of darkness, Babymetal are definitely not “indie” enough to feature on Jukebox. Yet their first album is a record that demands being written about, not because it’s particularly good, but because it is prime evidence of something so utterly ridiculous it defies any sort of conventional criticism.
