Synopsis :
The Gloria family has long been one of the wealthiest
and most prominent empires in Boston. When top students
Kira and Beowulf are offered tutoring jobs at the Gloria
estate, the two young men are more than willing to
oblige. Beowulf is immediately attracted to the icy
beauty Eterna Gloria, eldest daughter of the Gloria
family. Eterna is the only daughter who's not adopted to
boot. Beowulf wastes no time in pursuing Eterna, and
Kira is left in charge of Eterna's four sisters --
Celia, Naomi, Charm, and Mary. But there have already
been several attempts at the Glorias' lives since Kira
and Beowulf started... and the matriarch Ms. Michelle
Gloria seems to be keeping a very big secret...!

Review
Based on a bishoujo game of the same title, GLO*RI*A is actually the
family name of a clan comprised mostly of beautiful ladies. Don't
ask me, I also have no idea why it's syllabicated that way... it
just is.
Anyhow, GLO*RI*A kicks off with a tutoring proposal for Kira and
Beowulf. The job seems perfect -- the two guys get to live in a posh
mansion, eat gourmet meals, and have a fleet of servants at their
disposal. Beowulf puts himself in charge of Eterna, and Kira finds
his hands full with everybody else -- Celia goes around dressed as a
maid, taking care of Kira; Naomi is always drunk; Charm is
perpetually locked up in her room with a bunch of computers; Mary is
as naive as a small child... Juggling four pupils is the least of
Kira's concerns however, as he soon finds out. Someone wants to
eradicate the Gloria family, and Kira finds himself caught in the
middle of murder attempts and hostile takeovers.
The premises of the story reminded me of C's Ware's other bishoujo
game, "Fatal Relations". There are five pretty sisters and a hot
mother. The setting is a mansion. There are housemaids who serve
sex. GLO*RI*A and FR share a lot of similarities, even though the
plots are not at all the same. I did not have a hard time following
the GLO*RI*A's story. In fact, I found the resolution overly
simplistic... and after all the trouble everybody went through! The
plot lacks tightness and detail. Things are just too loosely woven
to generate any excitement, and each volume generally wastes a lot
of time thanks to poor development. There are also a lot of
superfluous characters who are little more than set decorations.
The art and animation are quite good. The characters and backgrounds
are rendered nicely. Sexually speaking, I was surprised to find that
GLO*RI*A the anime doesn't go anywhere near the level of the
ultra-explicit b-game "Fatal Relations" (both are from C's Ware
after all). The most you'll see here are breasts and behinds. The
lower genital areas are hidden from view, although you see the
characters having intercourse. Overall, I'd say GLO*RI*A is average
fare. It's not good, but it's also not bad. I don't suggest coughing
up almost $27 for each volume though... you may be better off just
playing the game -- since it has around 40+ possible endings and
more graphic H scenes. It costs less than all the tapes to boot.
