The woman who haunted Shio gets revealed, as does a little bit more information about Satou’s aunt.
Shio’s past, which she shares with Asahi, begins to be revealed as the universal theme of trauma continues to permeate.
Happy Sugar Life maintains its creepiness as Satou meets someone who knows Shio and we are introduced to her stalker.
Happy Sugar Life is going to give you pause as we get to know Satou and why she is hell-bent on keeping this child, Shio, in her life.
Magical Girl Site may have its touchy, and gory, moments, but neither are consistent enough to keep those with a feign interest watching.
Magical Girl Site ends with an ellipsis. One which makes it clear that the girls have barely begun their fight and they’d need a second season to finish what they started.
In this episode, we finally learn what are site admins and how they come to be. At least, all but the original one.
As Aya deals with her hand in Nijimin’s death, Nana decides it is finally the time to make a move and handle those ungrateful girls.
With Kaname having Nijimin’s shtick, he poses a bigger threat than maybe even the admins. Leading to the question: How can the girls take back what he stole?
While we do get an answer to the fate of Sara, as for Marion, Miranda, Ms. McCraw, and what will happen to Mrs. Appleyard? Well…
While Mrs. Appleyard’s past is illuminated, and why Irma’s mom is upset with her, the fate of Sara becomes the first noteworthy mystery of the mini-series.
With a shift to focusing on Sara’s life, Picnic at Hanging Rock finds its heart and something which should carry you through the remaining episodes.
To sum up the episode, Irma hates Miranda, has probably always hated Miranda and likely was only friendly towards her because she had to be.
As Picnic at Hanging Rock continues, the mystery becomes more about why this production was handled as it was than anything dealing with the characters.
What begins as a peaceful day off devolves into us learning about two pending tragedies. One of which is right around the corner.
Picnic at Hanging Rock may, at best, be a slow burn of a show which hopes you’ll stick around till the end rathen than judge its merits strictly on the first episode.
As the girls from the other site meet Aya and co., so increases the sisterhood and the unfortunate seeming rather blissful.
The purpose of Nana creating magical girls gets revealed, alongside so much more.
Multiple characters have their life on the line and it seems someone we may know, Game of Thrones style, might actually die.
We finally learn why Sarina and friends bullied Aya as well as who, or what, is inside Yatsumura’s home.
While we don’t learn more about the Tempest, we do learn about Yatsumura’s past and meet another magical girl with a very weird object.
After a very memorable introduction, we are now introduced to what Aya and even Yatsumura have to worry about. Making it seem this series might actually be good.
Kokkoku ultimately is like walking down a dead end street, reaching the end, and continuing to walk forward, into an empty lot, hoping to find something valuable.
Kokkoku comes to a uninspiring end that decides to push a character who, at the last minute, could give Juri hope.
It’s a rather strange episode as Sagawa being humanized continues and Juri comes to terms with the inevitable.
What could have been the final battle and end of Sagawa segues into talking about his childhood… yeah.
As Juri does something drastic, we discover someone else in her family has a power which may shift who has the upper hand.
As Sagawa tests the possibility of being a human with Herald like abilities, Juri and co. struggle on how to combat their disadvantage.
As Majima receives the happiest bit of news ever, Sagawa might have gone too far with his disciples and hired help.
Majima forces the Yazuma family to help her rescue her family and it leads to interesting results.
A lot of information about specters are dropped but, with only Majima even having an inkling of a clue of what is happening, we’re mostly left in the dark.
As some of the rules of the stasis are established, there are tests to see what the overseers may and may not allow.
Beatless faces a uphill battle if it doesn’t want to seem like another show which only cares about girls in revealing outfits and lots of explosions.
Kokkoku presents an oddly satisfying opener which makes the death of Anime Strike something to celebrate.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel does stumble a bit in its first season, but ultimately its charm sees it through.
Ladies and Gentlemen, coming to the stage, at last, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!
If you were perhaps wondering what would slow down Midge’s career so that she had something to work for in the second season, we get our answer.
Susie finds herself having to adapt more to midge as it becomes clear she isn’t the only one who recognizes her talent.
What’s a word Midge doesn’t often associate with herself? Failure. One she gets a huge heaping of this episode.
