A Very GLORIO 2015: Jel’s Best Anime Moments of the Year
Jel kicks off our annual year end tradition of recapping our highlights (and sometimes lowlights) of the year by sharing a few of his favorite moments of 2016.
All Your Monies: April 27th 2015
This week Alter tries to steal the show when Plum, Phat, and Plateado show up to peddle their wares.
The Wrap-Up: Winter 2015
If you go about doing a season preview, it is only obvious you also close off on a season review. In The Wrap-Up, all of our contributors get to shine a spotlight on the show they thought to be the very best of the past few weeks, as well as reflect back on the preview to…
Final Thoughts: Yatterman Night
Perhaps one of the biggest breakout stars of the Winter 2015 season, Yatterman Night was a heartfelt romp rife with adventure, unyielding optimism, and bleak dystopia in equal measure. Join Gee, Iro, and Marlin as we talk about what might very well be the best of the 21st century Tatsunoko adaptations.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 11
We say a bitter sweet goodbye to all our Winter Roundup shows, or at least until we give our Final Thoughts on most of them later this week.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 10
More death and tragedy all over the place as Garo, Death Parade, Yatterman, and Yurikuma continue to deny us happiness. Fortunately Shirobako delivers the best episode of the season, but even that makes us shed a tear for completely different reasons.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 9
In this week’s installment… We are getting near the end of the season which means plot twists and big reveals all over the place. Garo, Death Parade, and Yatterman give away a few secrets, plus Jel puts his entire writing career in jeopardy by quoting the Spice Girls.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 8
Set your fun levels to ZERO as Death Parade brutally concludes its two part murder mystery, Yatterman reminds you that your childhood heroes are dead, and both Maria and Yurikuma throw in a few rape attempts to round things out. Good times!
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 7
Shirobako somehow makes a character worse than Tarou, Death Parade delivers the crime drama no one wanted, and KUMA SHOOOCK!! We catch up on Yurikuma Arashi during its week off. Yes, I just wanted to say KUMA SHOOOCK!! again. Shabadado.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 6
Garo gets deep, Yatterman is even sillier than usual, and Death Parade helps me almost overcome my completely healthy and logical fear of mannequins… almost.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 5
As we hit the midpoint of the season, all our shows put on their hardhats, grab a lunch pail, and go about their business as usual… well, all the shows except Death Parade, which decides to re-invent itself yet again.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 4
Shoooooock! (kuma shock)… I’ve been waiting all season to slip that in and finally get my chance as Yurikuma Arashi guest stars in the Roundup this week. As one show enters, we also have our second drop of the season. What could it possibly be???
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 3
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.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 2
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.
The Roundup: Winter 2015 Volume 1
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.
First Look: Yatterman Night
Years after a catastrophe blows up the moon and devastates Earth, a young girl named Leopard lives with her mother and her two faithful uncles/servants/henchmen, Voltkatze and Elephantus. The descendents of the notorious Doronjo and her Dorobo Gang, the three live in exile and poverty outside the borders of the Yatter Kingdom, where the corrupt Yattermen live in prosperity. Refusing to accept the fate handed to her by the actions of her ancestors, Leopard takes her destiny into her own hands and begins to wage her war on the Yattermen.
