Gacha! is your fortnightly (or thereabouts) look at the weird world of Japanese capsule toys. In this instalment, we hit the Shinjuku streets (read: the Shinjuku branch of Yodabashi Camera) and actually buy some stuff!
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 eye over what’s been put out for you to spend your hard earned cash on. This time we have scythes, glasses, yukatas and toilets.
I saw snow when I looked out of my bedroom window this morning, so winter feels far from over. Nevertheless, we’re well past halfway into the Winter anime season, which means it’s time for us to select our favourite anime songs of the current season. Better check them out before they get thrown off YouTube, because with the a lack of a clear victor, this season’s lineup is a diverse haul of new talents and old friends ready to boost you all the way back to 2004. Or 1986. Or 1928. Seriously, are Asian Kung-Fu Generation still a thing?
A bit of a hit and miss week with some shows doing better than others, but the good shows were pretty great. Sure we have our subtle, measured use of drama with shows like Snow White and Rakugo, but I’ll take the hilarious vomiting blood reactions of Osomatsu and the marble statue blackmail sex of Sekko Boys any day.
Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew (and Aqua) 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 time, perhaps for the first time in AYM history (except that time it was All Your Honies), the boys handily outnumber the girls!
On the brink of earning their volunteer soldier licenses, the party decides to raid a goblin stronghold.
BBK/BRK smashes its way into a guest appearance on The Roundup as the world needs to know about the insane episode 8. And here I thought I was going to lead off this week with more Osomatsu and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure jokes…
Gacha! is your fortnightly (or thereabouts) look at the weird world of Japanese capsule toys. In this instalment, we take a look back at some of the gacha we missed in 2015.
Aquagaze and Irothtin love Digimon. Zigg has never watched Digimon. 16 years after the original Digimon Adventure started airing, can it hold up to Aqua and Iro’s preteen memories? Can it convert Zigg, seeing it for the first time? Can anyone shut the super-annoying PicoDevimon up?
Hello, and welcome to All Your Monies, where The Glorio Blog’s resident toy and figure collecting crew (and Aqua) 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 time we’ve been out for a few weeks, so let’s gather the best of what we missed.
The party realize that Mary will probably never open up to them if they don’t open up to her. Luckily, they seem to be getting a lot better at the whole goblin slaying thing, allowing them to invest in some much-needed new equipment.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Osomatsu last week, we say hello to Mr. Shounosuke Hijirikawa. Dagashi Kashi comes back from a week off with a solid episode, and all the Roundup shows are looking good as we pass the halfway point of the season.
Yamato Kazakiri is a well meaning but clumsy zoologist who accidentally tumbles through a portal to a mystic parallel dimension full of human-like animals known as Zyumans. At the same time, evil aliens called the Deathgaliens invade Earth, planning to use it as the field for their 100th Blood Game. Yamato must team up with four of the Zyuman Guardians to fight off the invasion. Together they’ll defend the planet as the Animal Sentai, Zyuohger!
Yume and Shihoru try to welcome Mary into the party, which goes about as well as you’d expect. When it turns out she used to party with one of Grimgar’s most famous guilds, the boys hope to find an explanation for her standoffish behaviour.
Airi is trapped, but Satoru arrives in time to help. After escaping the scene, he goes off to search for the real culprit. After gaining an ally in his mother’s old coworker, he starts to gain a clearer picture into what’s happening.
Dagashi Kashi has the week off and most of the other shows put up solid performances, but none of that matters as Osomatsu destroys all competition – in so many different ways!
Our heroes investigate a grisly murder at a creepy lakeside ghost house.
Gacha! is your fortnightly (or thereabouts) look at the weird world of Japanese capsule toys. This week, to celebrate the Japan trip we’re currently on, we picked some absolute garbage. Please enjoy.
Finally getting the hang of their chosen vocations, the party starts to venture deeper into the goblin stronghold… Until an inevitable disaster tears their fragile alliance apart.
The members of F6 enjoy another day of… whatever it is that they do. When Choromatsu happens upon a group of college students having fun at a BBQ, it looks like a job for the VIRGIN HERO SQUAD!!!
