As Okabe seeks closure, it seems he is only drawn deeper into his trauma as Maho gets closer to him.

We meet Karen’s real-life friend as well as one of Llenn’s first virtual friends, alongside seeing Kohi’s first days in a VR environment. Yeah, it’s kind of boring.
Most of Caligula’s premiere is dedicated to its lead talking like the most boring lecturer you’ll ever meet, and it is hard to say if the end of the premiere makes up for that.
Beautifully tragic. Essentially that is what The Ancient Magus’ Bride is. A story dealing with neglect, ostracism, outright abandonment, and trying to figure out a way to more than just deal with it but find stable sources of joy.
Garo – Vanishing Line is bloated and surely not going to push you to look into the other series under the Garo umbrella.
Sword Art Online returns! However, it is without our beloved Kirito and Asuna… so is it still worth seeing?
Citrus has its moments. Especially when addressing female homosexuality in Japan. However, despite the growth of character Yuzu, it’s more about tantalization than substance.
The final episode does what most of the season failed to make you do, care about the fate of the characters.
And so The Ancient Magus’ Bride ends with a bit of compromise. Most of which lead you to believe there could be a season 2.
So do Mei and Yuzu end up together? Really, you need to ask?
It’s the same ole, same ole, for Garo – Vanishing Line as villains are slain without really getting to have their moment.
Joseph and Cartaphilus, they are two different people, have their shared past explored as a rescue effort begins for Chise.
Despite this seemingly being the penultimate episode, there is nothing to push you to believe we are about to hit the finale.
It’s the beginning of the end and pretty much it is do or die. Either do find a way to stop King or die at the hands of his remaining minions.
We dive into Chise’s past and through her getting to understand her mom, it seems that may lead to the path of her reconciling with Elias. Maybe even understanding Joseph.
The back and forth continues as Mei deals with feeling rejected and Yuzu seeks out a new character to understand her feelings better.
At long last, we see King’s true form and… he kind of looks inspired by an Axolotl.
Matsuri and Mei have their final battle and Yuzu ends up being the deciding factor.
Sword and Sophie seemingly will only be in El Dorado for just this episode, but what happens seems to be part of the show’s redemption mission.
As usual, as Chise commits an act of sacrifice to protect or help someone, she ends up making things terribly worse for herself. Something Elias is growing tired of.
As Matsuri takes in what she is dealing with, when it comes to Mei, Yuzu tries to explain Matsuri’s relationship to her.
As Joseph haunts his acquaintances, Renfred gathers allies to stop an auction of a dragon.
As Mei continues to be very hot and cold, she is presented with a challenger in the form of Matsuri.
You know how people will swear, “It gets better” when talking about a show? It seems Garo – Vanishing Line, is trying to convince us the filler is over.
Elias’ insecurities get the best of him and lead him to be a bit abusive. Meanwhile, Joseph is back and up to something.
Despite ecchi elements surely turning some people off, Citrus reminds us that love is a complicated thing and so is figuring out how to handle your attractions/affection for someone.
We’re still nowhere near El Dorado, but Bishop and Christopher decide to try to kidnap Sophie and kill Sword. That’s something right?
The Ashen Eye returns to wreak havoc while reminding us how useful Chise’s powers can be.
Yuzu has come to the point in realizing that she may have to put her feelings aside, especially as she comes to realize who Shou is to Mei and the damage his absence has done.
Sword and co. still aren’t in El Dorado, likely won’t be until episode 18 at the earliest, but we do follow up on his younger sibling and his reason for wanting to go to El Dorado.
It’s Christmas time and in the spirit of giving, Chise receives a certified friend and maybe a blast from her past.
As Himeko makes her significance in Mei’s life known, it throws whatever Yuzu was building towards into chaos.
Rather than follow our well-established heroes, King’s right hand and left hand, Bishop, and Queen, are under the spotlight.
Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri, or simply Gate, slowly turns from something which seems like a silly ecchi filled anime to something which really holds clout in terms of presenting fantasy, action, and character development.
Despite you thinking the episode would be about Chise’s recovery, it ends up being about Silky’s backstory – which causes some tears.
Yuzu is ensnared in Mei’s games and finds it difficult to know whether her burgeoning feelings are/ can be reciprocated or if Mei is just toying with her?
In what maybe the last filler episode before the aptly named “El Dorado” episode, Luke gets a cosmetic change.
As Chise makes her first demand of Elias, it seemingly might be her last.
As Chairman Aihara becomes aware of his new granddaughter, he questions who will influence who and makes some preemptive moves.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
