It is time once again for our annual look back at the past year, and my favorite anime moments from 2024.

Tying a bow on 2023 with our favorite anime of the year.
The best anime according to the GLORIO crew, 2023 edition
In his traditional end-of-year roundup, Zigg (who has never once wet his bed) talks about why so many shows this year ended up being disappointments, and highlights a few which bucked the trend to produce memorable moments.
Dramatic title aside, I’ve come to appreciate these posts as a way of leaving behind a definitive footprint. My feelings for these may change as time passes but here and now in 2023, this is what I had to say about anime.
It is time once again for our annual look back at the past year, and my favorite anime moments from 2023.
We share our final thoughts on the Spring 2023 season, a solid group of shows that managed to survive some bumpy endings. Yes, that includes Birdie Wing and Gundam.
We do our best to preview the Summer 2023 season, but still end up talking about Birdie Wing and Gundam.
Aqua has dared to question the unassailable Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story, and we wonder if our favorite shows this season will cross the finish line without falling apart.
Look, I didn’t want to have to write this. But what the fuck happened to Birdie Wing, man?
As we approach the final stretch of the season, I still can’t decide if Oshi no Ko is good. But hey, plenty of other good shows as we get into Birdie Wing, Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimakyo), and we talk about one episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury for almost as long as the episode itself.
We discuss Oshi no Ko possibly not living up to its explosive start, our disappointment with Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage, and everyone’s favorite show about star crossed lesbians being manipulated by their parents and powerful corporations… and maybe even some Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury!
Yes, we know there are other anime airing this season besides Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story, so we spend some time talking about other new shows… but we also talk about Birdie Wing.
Gee has taken control of the ship in time for Spring 2023 season preview. Every Weekly Shounen Jump adaptation and isekai this season has been thrown overboard to make more time for Gundam and Birdie Wing speculation.
Our Top 10 list, now in podcast form.
Our ten favorite anime (and anime adjacent) series from the past year, 2022 edition.
In his annual musing on the year past, Zigg talks about 2022 being dominated by high-profile sequels and adaptations, and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
This is it, folks. I have officially hit rock bottom. I’m going to be boring. I’m going to give you my five favourite shows of the year, and my thoughts on them, and that’s it. So put on your beige shirt and produce some kind of monotonous grunt to express your excitement in a respectable fashion. Here are — deep sigh — the shows of 2022 I want to shout ou— err, I mean, highlight. Boringly.
2022 is an interesting year for anime. What it lacks in an obvious high profile mega-hit, it makes up for with a lot of surprise hits. I laughed a lot with anime this year, and that’s worth something. Join me as I reminisce about the anime I watched this year, both the good and the bad. I’m not going to lie people, I threw this together at the last minute. I hope it’s coherent?
Diving into my (mostly silly) favorite anime moments of 2022.
