Final Thoughts: Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux

A Very GLORIO 2024: Gee’s Year in Review
If there’s a pervasive theme to 2024, I think it’s the constant sense of there never being enough time. This has been a noticeable trend for years, but this year it became impossible to ignore that a lot of anime were materially compromised, either in episode count or fidelity. The age of the 52 episode TV anime is dead, and I think the end of the 26 episode TV anime is not far off. We now live in the era of 13 episode seasons; a frankly inadequate number of episodes for many kinds of stories. Watching familiar stories try to fit themselves into this new format has been awkward to say the least. The shows I’ll be talking about are the ones I think are most significant, either good or ill, to my 2024 anime watching experience.
A Very GLORIO 2024: Franchises – The Ever Distant Utopia
I wish the world didn’t have to be this way, but if big franchises are the only way the creators I like can get any work, then so be it.

I’m not exactly sure where Beastars Final Season and the new Gundam GQuuuuuuX fit in the anime season schedule, but we talk about those and other shows airing in Winter 2025.
Gundam Requiem For Vengeance – The White Devil’s Burden
Much of Gundam RFV’s failures are at its core, failures of its creative team to adequately understand what Gundam represents, both as a mecha franchise and as a war story.
First Look: Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance
Eleven months into the One Year War, Red Wolf squadron is attacked by a mysterious white mobile suit. Can this zeon squad survive against the Gundam?

The GLORIO Chat Episode 145: Boring Anime Protagonists
We talk about the anime we’re still watching, catch up on Kamen Rider coming and going, and get into a lengthy discussion about boring anime protagonists. Yeah, it’s that kind of season.
The GLORIO Chat Episode 140: Spring 2023 Anime Wrap Up
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.
Final Thoughts: Mobile Suit Gundam – The Witch from Mercury
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will haunt me for years.

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.
The GLORIO Chat Episode 137: The Simp Energy Is Off the Charts
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.
The GLORIO Chat Episode 136: Is Oshi no Ko Still Good?
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!
The GLORIO Chat Episode 135: Spring 2023 Anime First Impressions
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.
The GLORIO Chat Episode 133: Spring 2023 Anime Season Preview
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.
