This week, Alter bring their A-game…
Shizuo’s been framed for beating up some yakuza dudes, which isn’t helped by Akane also being the daughter of a third yakuza group. Combine that with the Toramaru gang waging war on the Dollars, Varona hunting Celty, and Aoba taking advantage of the situation to strongarm Mikado…
The Gunpla Academy faces the enigmatic Lucas Nemesis and his fantastic Crossbone Fullcloth.
Hirokawa reveals his reasons for creating his Parasyte haven, and his final secret is revealed. Meanwhile, Gotou is still on the rampage, and eventually finds his way to Shinichi. Weakened from taking down the many exterminator squads, he decides to retreat, but not before giving Shinichi a clear threat. Starting to struggle with paranoia, Shinchi finds consolation in the arms of Murano.
Misa is returned to Kyoto unharmed, and still plans to go through with the concert. Hearing this, Mamechiyo steals her stone and throws it into a river.

(No, not *that* Double)
Shirobako somehow makes a character worse than Tarou, Death Parade delivers the crime drama no one wanted, and KUMA SHOOOCK!! We catch up on Yurikuma Arashi during its week off. Yes, I just wanted to say KUMA SHOOOCK!! again. Shabadado.
As the latest from former doujin developers French Bread, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late certainly has colorful characters and flashy super moves, but does it do enough to stand out from the crowd? Is it better than its incredibly long and awkward title lets on? Can I get through this entire review without saying “Melty Blood”? Let’s have a closer look.
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 we celebrate our return from a sabbatical by going all exclusive, all the time (and I use that as an excuse to put an unprecedented two Kamen Riders in).
Masaomi’s feeling lonely because there’s nobody’s in the chatroom: Mikado’s too distracted by Aoba and his cronies, Anri is busy watching over Akane, and Izaya is in the thick of trying to frame Shizuo for murder. Again.
Kousei is shown the power that his words have had in giving hope to Kaori. Tsubaki’s devotion to the dork has also paid off, as her studies have landed her at a school near his conservatory. Finally, the time of preliminary auditions has come, and Takeshi comes out fighting with one of Chopin’s most challenging etudes.
The police try to keep things in order, but human error makes the situation quickly devolve into martial law. On the hunt for Parasytes, the protection of civilians is a secondary concern. Two groups find Gotou, and his invincibility is once again put to the test.
The duel between the two students of the Jigen Haoh school reaches its end. Punches are thrown and gibberish is shouted, all culminating in a roaring conclusion.
Many years ago, the Last Ninja sealed the demon lord Kibaoni away. Now though Kibaoni has returned and only the Last Ninjas’s descendants, the Igasaki Clan, can stop him! Together they’ll don the spandex and battle evil as the least subtle shinobi ever, the Shuriken Sentai, Ninninger!
The girls find themselves in the former Imperial Captial, and once again in the thick of a fight between powerful Bests. Their lack of power is painfully noted as the kidnapping of a Best sees them quickly marginalized. However their luck may change, as the people of Kyoto treat Moonlight Stones as cursed objects, and they are told a stockpile might be lying somewhere in the area.
The plot thickens as Tachibana reveals his true motive behind acting as Judge, and the team have to race to find the decisive clue that will help convict the killer.
Garo gets deep, Yatterman is even sillier than usual, and Death Parade helps me almost overcome my completely healthy and logical fear of mannequins… almost.
Joseph and Avdol are ambushed by the coquettish Mariah and her Stand of magnetism, Bast.
While Izaya fools Mikado into believing he’s a cool guy, Varona breaks into Anri’s apartment for reasons unknown. Luckily, Simon’s there to tell us a bit more about what this girl’s deal is.
