All Your Monies: September 10th

Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew will run down the last week’s new preorders, turning a loving or scathing eye over what’s been put out for you to spend your hard earned cash on. This week, we slim back down to our regulation size. Also, SPECIAL BONUS…um, thing?

OP/ED Op-Eds: PSI-missing [A Certain Magical Index]

There’s no doubt at all that A Certain Magical Index is very, very, for the want of a better term, shonen-y.  It’s the very definition of pulp, a story full of entertainingly over the top villains, a reality where everyone has superpowers or magical abilities and a punch to the face is the cure for all evils.…

Incoherent Babble returns, after a fortnight break, with Zigg, Lifesong, Jel and Timmy in the hot seats, joined in the second half of the show by Marlin and the elusive Invisible Iro. Together they talk about videogames, visual novels and tackle the question of how anime is doing in the west. A quick note guys…

All Your Monies: August 27th

Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew will run down the last week’s new preorders, turning a loving or scathing eye over what’s been put out for you to spend your hard earned cash on. This week, it’s a bumper crop as we temporarily raise our quota to 8. Also, there are three boys!

OP/ED Op-Eds: For You [Wandering Son]

Wandering Son was a show about a lot of things. Most controversially of course, it was about crossdressing children, but it was also about friendship, loyalty and the special connection between two people. That’s what this week’s song, ‘For You’ by Rie Fu is all about, and what makes it a perfect match for the show.

What We Got and What We Thought: July 2012

Welcome to our first What We Got and What We Thought, our monthly post were we showcase all the cool stuff we got the month prior and what we thought about it. This month Jel gets his Galatic Punt on, Zigg saves a pair of sexy superheros, Life shows off his Otakon loot, and I spread some Saber love.

OP/ED Op-Eds: Bunny Drop [Sweet Drops]

Bunny Drop was a wonderful show, proof that ‘slice-of-life’ doesn’t have to be shorthand for pointless moefest or by the numbers high school drama. Instead, it displayed the greatest strength that the genre can bring to a story – by living with characters day in and day out, the triumphs and tragedies carry that much more…

Incoherent Babble Episode 2: Yuiyui edition

Incoherent Babble is back, as Aqua, Zigg, Iro and Jel return to your ears for more baseless rambling. This time they’re taking on the K-ON! movie, which was simulwatched and enjoyed to varying degrees. Highlights this episode include Aqua heartlessly mocking Zigg’s pronunciation, Iro’s general hatred of K-ON! and all things associated with it and the group’s impressive derailment into a discussion of Madoka Magica. Informative!

OP/ED Op-Eds: Eureka Seven [Himitsu Kichi]

As an experience, Eureka Seven tends to be constantly pushing forward. It’s a show that’s very much concerned about the future – growing up, falling in love and changing the world for the better. That’s why ‘Himitsu Kichi’ (‘Secret Base’) is a little unique – in a show that looks forward to the future, it’s…
