A Very GLORIO 2023: Euri Decided to Read
A benefit of reading manga on your phone is that you don’t need to leave your bed ever. So that’s what Euri did.
First Look: Handa-kun
After a re-imagining of Osomatsu-san’s first episode, we’re excited to reveal the first episode of the long-awaited Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei prequel.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 12
We say goodbye to the last stragglers of Summer as this season of the Roundup comes to an end. Glasslip leaves Marlin wanting, Aqua is pleasantly surprised by Barakamon, and I’m just sad I have no Sabagebu! header for the final post.
OP/ED Op-Eds: The Best of Summer 2014
Summer is generally the least interesting period of the year in the world of music, yet I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer amount of enjoyable anime songs this season. I suppose the guy running many a voice actress’s lackluster soprano through Protools deserves a break as well. In any case, it’s time to select the best of the best as the season comes to its end.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 11
The season is almost over and many of our Roundup shows are coming to an end. We say goodbye to favorites like Sabagebu! and HaNaYaMaTa, and a considerably less fond “see you later” to Aldnoah.Zero.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 10
In this week’s installment… Our shows hold steady as the end of the season rapidly approaches. The comedies stay funny and sweet and Aqua still hates Aldnoah.Zero, so business as usual. The Roundup is a weekly guide to all the “other” shows we’re watching this season. Check out our full, weekly coverage of: Blue Spring Ride – Hunter…
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 9
Lifesong and Timmy are off cavorting at Nan Desu Kan but the rest of the crew picks up the slack. Argevollen gets practical, HaNaYaMaTa keeps its pants on for the hot springs episode, and Sabagebu continues its glorious streak of 80’s action movie references.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 8
Aldnoah.Zero drags our writers down from their usual disappointment to shame. Fortunately the rest of this season’s comedies hold strong, even with Barakamon taking the week off.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 7
Lifesong begins his mid season cuts, Argvollen and Rail Wars surprise Gee and Timmy respectively, and I try to convince myself that this week’s Sabagebu! is scathing social commentary.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 6
Glasslip and Argevollen heat up plot wise and fan service-wise respectively while Sabagebu proves it’s both funny AND environmentally conscious. Who knew?
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 5
We hit the midpoint of the season and the entire crop of great comedies are still going strong. Locodol finally ends Sabagebu’s header image streak and no matter how frustrated he gets, Gee is still watching Argevollen and Aldnoah.Zero.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 4
Casual murder continues to dominate this season as Akame ga kill! throws up death flags everywhere, Sabagebu! loses a few good men to some deadly toilet humor, and Locodol kills off some… chocolate tanukis?
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 3
Battle lines are drawn again over Aldnoah.Zero, Rail Wars! has even less trains and more boobs than usual, and Sabagebu! manages to make “may the force be with you” jokes funny again.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 2
Our weekly coverage fills up as we (or should I say Lifesong) add a few new shows. Opinions continue to be split on Aldnoah.Zero but the flurry of oddly named upstart comedies stay unanimously entertaining.
The Roundup: Summer 2014 Volume 1
Our first batch of Summer shows hit the Roundup with several Slice of Life surprises and mecha cliché disappointments. Throw in some extreme(ly censored) violence and it’s going to be a fun summer!
First Look: Barakamon
Handa Seishuu is a young practitioner of the ancient art of calligraphy. After an insult caused him to assault a senior citizen, he retreats to an isolated island town to focus on his work. Once getting there, he meets a young girl who quickly takes a shining to the new resident.
