With the Megalonia ticket in sight, Joe enjoys the feeling of finally being someone. Standing in his way, however, is an AI-enhanced rich-boy, deceit, betrayal, and bloody piss. Joe moves ever closer to his rematch with Yuuri, but at the same time, Yuuri seems to be changing while watching his rival smash his way through Megaloboxing without any rig whatsoever...

"To be quiet and do as you're told, that's the cowardly choice." These are the words of Junk Dog, an underground fighter of Megalo Box, an evolution of boxing that utilizes mechanical limbs known as Gear to enhance the speed and power of its users.

Despite the young man's brimming potential as a boxer, the illegal nature of his participation forces him to make a living off of throwing matches as dictated by his boss Gansaku Nanbu.

This all changes when the Megalo Box champion Yuuri enters his shabby ring. Taken out in a single round, Junk Dog is left with a challenge: "If you're serious about fighting me again, then fight your way up to me and my ring."

Zouroku Kashimura welcomes Sana as his new adoptive daughter... and that's pretty much it. The twins come back and they play for a while... and there's, like, some girl who thinks she's bad but just needed to talk to someone about her troubles... Huh, this anime goes nowhere.

Keichi has been living in the town of Hinamizawa for a year now, but has only recently discovered that the residents have been keep quiet about a string of gruesome murders and disappearances that happen every year. With locals that still worship, and fear, a god called Oyashiro-sama, Keichi becomes the target of a curse.

Like, repeatedly. Across several different realities. It's a bit mind-fucky.

It's time for more gay dragon slice-of-life anime as we continue and conclude our review of Miss Koabayshi's Dragon Maid.

Tohru and Kobayshi deepen their relationship through rivalry, holidays and alcohol, but it's not all fun and games - when Tohru's dickhead dad comes to town to break up her relationship, Tohru's own fears of abandonment surface! Can Kobayashi continue to be a single mum AND a single dad to poor Kanna?

Kobayashi-san woke up one morning to find that the night before she had accidentally invited an ancient omnipotent dragon to live with her as a maid while black-out drunk. As luck would have it, Tohru is enthusiastic, if a little haphazard, and it's not long before the two find a comfortable equilibrium in their daily lives.

They're soon joined by the quiet and serious Prada-Willi patient Kanna Kamui, the absurdly gothic Fafnir and the top-heavy Quetzalcoatl, and Kobayashi-san's life is quickly overrun with dragons.

As graduation approaches for most of the members of Houkago Tea Time, Azu-Nyan's worries about being left alone grows, especially since her band members seem so preoccupied with trying to figure out their future plans and preparing for a rendition of Romeo and Juliette.

There really isn't much in the way of an overarching narrative, but gosh damn does it get emotional as the impending end of the K-On gang approaches...

It's the last year of high school for Houkago Tea Time! Well for four of the members at least - Yui and the other seniors are making the most of their remaining time and preparing for the real world. It's one more season of -utter nonsense- and the occasional song or two!

After experiencing utter terror in their first battle against the Lunarians, Phos' guilt over almost losing the Amethyst twins drives them to stay awake during winter, when all the other gems are asleep. For company, there is only Sensei, and Antarcticite.

Spending time with the cold and distant Antar, Phos begins to change further, especially when tragedy strikes.

Thanks for much for all your support over the last 150 episodes! We hope you've enjoyed our rambling bullshit. It seems only fitting that episode 150 has about 4 solid minutes of Kym randomly screaming at things.

Phos, a member of a community of creatures made from gemstones, feels useless and incomplete, unable to contribute anything to their comrades due to their utter lack of competence. Under threat from mysterious creatures from the moon, the gemstones defend themselves from being smashed into pieces and "collected" by these beings.

After a chance encounter with another gem, Cinnabar, Phos vows to devote their efforts to discovering a way to bring joy to them, and begins to go drastic physical changes...
