When their leader makes himself known, the Toramaru biker gang stops chasing after Celty and shifts focus to the real reason for why they came to Ikebukero. Meanwhile, Masaomi warns Mikado of impending danger and Shizuo runs into a peculiar little girl.
This week, Team Try Fighters faces Team SD-R, the creepy triplets known for their shrewd tactics and ruthless traps. Presented with an obvious trap that could be easily mitigated by the demonstrated abilities of our heroes, they decide to do the dumbest possible thing anyway.
Things get HEAVY as Death Parade, Maria, and Yatterman reach into some of the darkest depths possible. Fortunately Shirobako, Earth Defense Club, and some Garo filler are also around to lighten the mood.
Celty, Mikado, Anri, Aoba, Mairu, Kururi and the Party Van Clan all try to outrun the swaths of bikers chasing after the ten-million-yen bounty on Celty’s helmet. Oh yeah, and there’s a body in the bag she’s carrying.
After Team Try Fighter’s bombastic introduction at the nationals, it’s time for the other teams to strut their stuff. And as we all know, all great Gundams are built on the blood of GMs.
Good times all around as Roundup vets Shirobako and Garo deliver some fresh perspectives and the new shows continue to deliver on their potential. Earth Defense Club is somehow still funny, Death Parade expands its emotional range, Maria stays as sharp as ever, and Yatterman delivers one of the first get out of your seat and cheer moments of the season.
Kasuka Heiwajima rescues the girl in a zombie costume his brother roughed up in the last episode and asks Shinra to patch her up. Later that evening, our favourite shady back-alley doctor heads on over to Russian Sushi, where Mairu and Kururi have brought the mysterious man they found bleeding out on the streets.
It’s (finally) the beginning of the Nationals. After an eternity of filler and set up, it’s time for Team Try Fighters to show the country what they’re made of.
We learn that Koro-sensei is far from the worst thing at Kunugigaoka Junior High School. We also get to see the world exclusive showing of an alien in a wig.
The Roundup returns with a brand new lineup of Winter shows and a few favorites from last season. Magical Boys, a swanky version of the afterlife, medieval sex witches, adorable dystopian uprisings, and a show already dropped in the first round? Just another Tuesday afternoon at the Glorio Blog.
Shinra ignores the fourth wall and takes us back to the first day of a new semester at Raira Academy, where Izaya’s younger sisters Mairu and Kururi make a dynamic entry and Mikado meets a new kid who seems to know a lot more than he lets on. Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse for Celty, as she learns a 10 million yen bounty has been issued for revealing her true identity.
With Sekai’s evolution as a gunpla fighter proving to be too great of a strain for the Build Burning, Team Try Fighters resolves to improve and upgrade all their gunpla in preparation for their arrival to the national scene. Meanwhile, we get a glimpse at some of the opponents that will stand in their way.
Everything goes bad. Favaro gets a sweet goatee. Kaisar is a big Star Wars fan. Bahamut is a dragon.
Nadeko is safe but the shrine is still a potential breeding ground for apparitions. Araragi feels obligated to clean up the mess before he leaves for college, but something strange is affecting his powers. With no options left, he tries to contact Yotsugi for help.
Ral decides to take the kids to the Yajima research lab, where the top tier gunpla battlers train and hone their craft. Are they ready for the next level of competition?
So close to the end of the season, Garo, Log Horizon, and Shirobako set up to continue through Winter. Thankfully this does not include SeHa Girls which does little more than give us this week’s bizarre header image.
Favaro and company have a heavy trip in the forest and find themselves chatting with a dragon, while Jean D’Arc is punished for being a witch. Amira may have finally made it to Helheim?
After the big fight, Team Try Fighters take a much needed break. When Sekai’s sister ends up in a fashion model themed gunpla tournament, Yuuma helps her build her own gunpla. But when a handsome jerk with an awesome Turn A shows up though, will her new gunpla hold up?
Everyone quivers in terror for an entire episode. Except for Kamui, who is too busy trying to drown people in shit. Literally.
Video games rule this week as SeHa Girls manages a rare decent episode and Log Horizon shows us its actually about mutual respect between people with different opinions. Also, Garo and Shirobako are still good.
