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!
We add a few more Winter 2023 shows, say some parting words for NieR:Automata ver. 1.1a as it goes on hiatus, and dive back into our complicated feelings toward Trigun Stampede.
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.
Chainsaw Man (the anime) is bad! Bocchi the Rock is good! Gundam Aerial is actually…. These shocking revelations and more in this episode of The GLORIO Chat.
In this reimagining of 1987’s Kamen Rider Black, Japan is a state in socio-political turmoil, where discrimination of an underclass of mutated humans known as “kaijin” is commonplace. Aoi Izumi is a bright-eyed young activist waging war against this oppression, but this makes her a target for all sorts of unscrupulous actors. Only a grizzled kaijin by the name of Kotaro Minami seems to be able to protect her, but he has a traumatic past to reckon with of his own…
We discuss the latest Crunchyroll controversy, rave about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, then do our best to give final thoughts on Summer 2022 despite most of the shows not ending yet.
So, a hundred Kamen Riders drop onto an island…
No children were harmed during the recording of this super-size episode of The GLORIO Chat, which is more than we can see for some of the shows we watched.
In the sequel to the 2009 tokusatsu series ‘Kamen Rider W’, the Narumi Detective Agency protects the windy city, Fuuto, from attack by hideous monsters known as Dopants. The agency is headed by wannabe hard-boiled detective Shotaro Hidari, and his mysterious partner Philip. Together, they are the world’s first two-in-one Kamen Rider.
We catch up on Kamen Rider and Digimon, talk about all the shows putting the “romance” in romantic comedy, and declare Birdie Wing the greatest television show of all time.
We give our first impressions of Elden Ring, wrap up The Orbital Children and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean (for now), and discuss potential controversy with Ranking of Kings.
We hit a wide variety of topics including the Lucifer and The Biscuit Hammer anime announcement, the latest in Saturday morning kids’ shows, and some backlog we’re finally catching up on. Oh, and I guess some currently airing anime too.
Ikki and Sakura meet up with their childhood friend Ayaka Oketani, who is struggling with her little sister overshadowing her in their mother’s eyes. Things rapidly get worse when the Deadmans arrive on the scene and the two girls are taken hostage.
As Ikki struggles with the idea of joining Fenix and fighting Deadmans full time, the villains make their first move, tempting a downtrodden caddy to turn on his employer.
The world faces a terrible threat in the form of Deadmans, a terrorist cult that aims to bring out humanity’s ‘inner demons’. Fortunately they’re opposed by the government organization Fenix, who possess a secret weapon – Ikki Igarashi, a young man who is able to hear his own inner demon. Together they’ll battle Deadmans as the twin warriors, Kamen Rider Revi and Kamen Rider Vice!
This week on Saber, my patience with this cursed show finally runs out.
The Sword of Logos continue in their attempts to capture Touma, who is also struggling with Yuki’s demand that he be more ruthless and show more resolve in dealing with the Yeti Megid.
