Our focus is on a book store in Akihabara’s famous Electric Town. If this is sounding familiar to long time readers, that’s because this is an adaptation to a manga previously reviewed on Iro’s old RMT. While he gave the manga a resounding “okay”, the anime seems to have elicited a different reaction.
26 episodes of alien-hunting, space-racing, singing-and-dancing, waterspout-surfing, booty-appreciating, death-defying, universe-hopping action later, the Glorio crew reflect on the spectacular adventures of Space Dandy and his brave space crew. In space.

Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew (and Marlin) 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 it’s slim pickings again, but we’ve got fighty boys, cute girls and really not very cute girls at all. Also, Madoka movie spoilers!
In the distant future, attempts to terraform Mars have caused the creation of a race of sentient cockroaches. Akari Hizamaru is an underground fighter with special abilities.
