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…
Grandpa sends The Mediator on a errand to pick up The Assistant, but he’s nowhere to be found. She runs into a fairy, after which there are bananas and cloning and/or time travel involved. I have no idea what is going on anymore.

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.

With the games now over for the time being what crazy shenanigans will our heroes find themselves wrapped up in?
We start with Aoki delivering one of the sappiest but charming confessions, but don’t be fooled. The main focus of this episode is the relationship between Taichi and Iori, as well as another existential crisis. Seeing as talking about anything past that would be a massive spoiler, let’s just say Heartseed is a bastard.
Our intrepid squad arrives at Guadalupe base for a special exercise and find themselves working with Cryska and Inia. Tensions are diffused with a little friendly competition, but bad weather leaves Yuuya, Yui and Cryska stranded on a deserted island.
Recap: Junichi… I mean Oojima and the gang hit another roadblock on the path to candidacy: Every campaign needs money. With his secret desert and a little help from the yaoi bait, the club presses on. However, not everything is golden, as through the young Aomi we see another dark side to this insane asylum…
Wakana is so overwhelmed by her grief she falls ill and misses school. With the support of the people that care about her though, she is ready to fulfill her mother’s final wish.
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!
Ryuusuke figures out the thing that really should have been apparent from day one: taking Rokka out on a date removes his problems with the ghost. Will our main man ever score? Will Rokka manage to find an outfit that doesn’t make her look like she tripped walking through a Pier 1? The world may never know.
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…
On the third and final day of the Kanya Festival, the Classics Club gets to work on solving the mystery of the Juumoji incident in earnest.

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.
