Our Top 10 list, now in podcast form.
Our Top 10 list, now in podcast form.
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.
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?
When I whittled down this year’s list of watched shows down to smaller and smaller numbers, it turned out that almost everything on there was some kind of adaptation or reboot. What’s up with that? Were they any good?
Gold! Always believe in your soul! You’ve got the power to know! You’re incredibly, catastrophically, destructible!
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.
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.
Deep in the heart of the Summer 2022 season, we add Kakegurui Twin and, surprisingly, Uncle from Another World to our usual watch list.
We talk about both anime endorsed by Hideo Kojima this season, then hit the backlog because there’s not much else to watch.
Somehow, we are still here after 10 years! After a look back at how things looked in our first season (all the way back to Summer 2012), we begrudgingly give our first impressions of the Summer 2022 season.
Directly following on from the events of ‘Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul’, Riko, Reg, and Nanachi have overcome the monstrous Bondrewd and look to continue their journey deeper into The Abyss. Ahead of them lies the Sixth Layer, from which no human has ever returned, and the legend of a mysterious Golden City
As we rapidly approach the GLORIO blog’s 10th anniversary, we find ourselves still trying to get excited about new anime. Please read the Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer manga.
To wrap up our coverage of the GLORIO decade, Zigg takes a look at ten unforgettable moments from ten different shows across ten years.
While the GLORIO blog has technically only existed since 2012, we are still declaring the 2010’s “The GLORIO Decade”. And so as we move into the 2020’s, we’re taking a look back at just how GLORIO the decade was. First up: Jel’s favorite anime of the 2010’s
Did your favorite shows make the cut? What did we choose for #1 and why is it Eromanga-sensei? Read on!
In his annual musing, Zigg talks about how he was surprised (in both good and bad ways) by many of the shows which came out this year.
2017, despite being something of a garbage fire of a year, ended up being pretty good for anime. Between some original standouts, old franchises returning to form, and some excellent adaptations, anime is as fresh as it’s ever been, even in the face of some truly offensive offerings. As my life gets busier, I find I end up watching less than I’d like, but nonetheless, here’s my arbitrary list of awards that give me an excuse to talk about some of that anime.
It’s that time of year again, and Iro’s resurrecting his motley collection of arbitrary-awards-that-really-just-started-as-jokes-but-I-guess-it’s-tradition-now. Who wins the year’s Yamato 2199 award, Zeppeli award, or Love Lab award? Read ahead to find out!
As is our custom, the GLORIO crew will be posting a variety of retrospectives on anime, music, drama, and whatever else we want to talk about that happened in 2017. As is also our custom, I’ll be kicking things off with my favorite anime moments of the year.
The GLORIO crew tried to finish Made in Abyss but instead it finished them
