A Very GLORIO 2017: Gee’s Arbitrary Hot Takes
2017, despite being something of a garbage fire of a year, ended up being pretty good for anime.

Despite the dearth in truly outstanding shows, there have been a lot of good romances and feel good moments for me to love this past year. A big focus has been awkward spazzes and the nerds who love them, so here’s a toast!
