Yayaka’s loyalties are divided between her mysterious masters and her friendship with Cocona. After she refuses to take Cocona’s amorphous the organisation ditch her and instead launch a direct assault on Flip Flap headquarters. In the process the truth about the mysterious ‘Mimi’ is finally revealed.
Kumiko realizes Reina is angry at her but she’s not sure why. They hike to their spot on Mt. Daikichi to talk things out.
With the season far from more than halfway over, it’s time to once again take a look (and listen) at our favourite songs from shows that have been airing for the past few months. The lineup of bloggers recommending their pick may have shrunk a bit, compared to the past couple of times we did this, but on the other hand, This will be the first OP/ED Op-Eds in ages that won’t ask you to listen to the same song twice. Hey, I guess this season was just that good? Not much of a consolation, but eh, we’ll take what we can get. Anyway, this time around, I namedrop a bunch of artists you should ask your dad about, Artemis gets another reason to fawn over Yuri!! on Ice and Jel is most likely on drugs. Again.
Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew (and Iro) will run down the last week’s new pre-orders, turning a loving or scathing all-seeing eye over what’s been put out for you to spend your hard-earned cash on. This week there are lovely ladies and handsome men, but also a disappointing absence of half-tucks.
Yuri On Ice makes history again with possibly the best plot twist of the year. We also get a healthy dose of bittersweetness from March Comes in Like a Lion and… Classicaloid???
Even after her visit from Kumiko, Asuka is resigned to listening to her mother and quitting the band. After seeing how things turned out for her sister, Kumiko refuses to accept her decision.
Zigg once again takes a day off to do his day job anyway and goes off to MCM London to take pictures of some rather amazing cosplays.
Is Yuri On Ice on a slightly off day better than 90% of other shows? Yes, yes it is. Also, March Comes in Like a Lion is back so, yay!
With Asuka’s future hanging in the balance, the band is counting on Kumiko to convince her to come back. They meet up at Asuka’s house to study and, for perhaps the first time, they have a real conversation.

This week the crew is once again assaulted by illness but not even that can keep them from their sacred duty of disapprovingly frowning at skeevy figures.
No March Comes In Like a Lion this week makes me sad and Yuri doesn’t deliver anything quite as historic as last week, but the Roundup is still as strong as ever. Now go watch Girlish Number and then call your parents, they’re probably worried about you.
Asuka continues to miss practice, putting her participation in the Nationals in jeopardy. Kumiko is stuck home with a cold and must confront Mamiko, who has finally explained her reason for leaving college.
Cocona and Papika continue to investigate Pure Illusion and find themselves being pulled into darker, more twisted worlds in their race against Yayaka and her team. Also Iro makes his grand anime debut.
This weeks shows were good blah blah OK enough of that… Yuri On Ice episode 7. Wow. No spoilers but I guess it was, in fact, born to make history?
Asuka’s mother arrives at school and demands that she quits the band to focus on her entrance exams. With the prospect of losing their leader looming over their hands, the band has trouble staying focused on practice.

This week the crew are still battling illness but nothing can stop the march of plastic waifus, giant robots and Expressionist icons of despair.
Meicoomon has vanished after murdering Leomon, and the infection is spreading to even the Digidestined’s partners. The only option may be to reboot the Digital World entirely, erasing years of cherished memories.
It’s been a rough week, and in these difficult times writing about cartoons feels more frivolous than usual. Perhaps more than ever though, I’m personally enjoying the comfort and brief escapism of some good anime. So take a minute to relax and forget about all the horrible things going on in the world for just a moment. I’ll be happy if we can at least offer that much.
The band takes a break after the competition to participate in the school cultural festival. The fun doesn’t last long though as a typhoon rolls into town, both literally and figuratively for Kumiko.
Here at the Glorio Blog we always strive to deliver QUALITY anime coverage, regardless of our production schedule. It helps when there’s a lot of good shows to talk about of course, and I’m probably going to sound like a broken record here but wow this season is good. Yuri and March deliver as always, Girlish Number and ClassicaLoid are turning out pretty good, and somehow Aqua is still watching (and enjoying?) Kiss Him, Not Me.
