A Very GLORIO 2024: Artemis Gets Sappy About Her Anime of the Year

I racked my brain for a while trying to think of what to write in a year where a) I was only deeply invested in a small handful of anime that came out during 2024, most of which will almost certainly make it onto Glorio’s annual top 10 list anyway, and b) the world kinda sucks and it’s getting increasingly hard to find the energy to care. If nothing else, I think 2024 will live on as the year…

A Very GLORIO 2024: Euri Decided to Read (again)

For me, 2024 was a strange year. It was, fortunately for me, going to be difficult to be worse than my 2023, where I spent six months redundant, constantly interviewing for jobs and feeling pretty damn useless for not landing on my feet immediately. I do not envy folks that are looking for work at the moment. Funnily enough, despite having plenty of “free time” around applying for jobs and…

A Very GLORIO 2024: Gee's Year in Review

Another year has come and gone, and with it another year of anime. If there’s a pervasive theme to 2024, I think it’s the constant sense of there never being enough time. This can apply to a lot of things. Personally, I’m writing this as of 48 hours before my deadline. I don’t know where the time went but I found myself busier than ever despite there not being a ton to show for it on paper. It’s…

A Very GLORIO 2024: The Top 10

Another year, another closely contested Top 10. While I don’t think this list is as strong as last year’s, there was definitely some great anime in 2024 and there were some tough choices to make. Outside of our top three anime, the rest of list was so close it could have gone in any order. If you’re new to our process, each member of the GLORIO crew submits their own top anime list, and we use a…

A Very GLORIO 2024: Zigg Went to Japan

As a dedicated, dyed-in-the-wool otaku, I’ve always felt at some point I had to undertake the journey that all anime fans dream of. To make a pilgrimage to that place where all of our beloved media, merchandise, and moe girls spring from. Yes, I’ve always dreamed of visiting the Rightstuf warehouse. But then they got shut down, so fuck it, I decided to go to Japan instead. Joking aside, visiting…

A Very GLORIO 2024: Franchises - The Ever Distant Utopia

Is it year end post time already? In 2022 I wrote on the myriad adaptations I watched that year and in 2023 I reflected on what I even wanted from my anime. Now watch! No tricks, no gimmicks! I’m going to tie these two things together with a third, yes folks, a third post! I ended last year with the following: Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but I think this might be why franchises are…

A Very GLORIO 2024: Jel's Best Anime Moments

For me, 2024 had a lot of solid anime that I enjoyed watching but not many that I had strong feelings about. As a result, compiling a list of memorable moments was a bit harder than usual. Like theses lists are usually hard because I have too many choices, this year not so much. Nevertheless, there were some cool things that happened and we’re going to talk about them. Let me know your favorite…
