Kokkoku: Season 1 – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
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 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.
Majima’s past and connection to Juri is revealed as a trap is laid using Takafumi and the fate of Tsubasa in question.
We start to dig into Juri’s mysterious gift as Majima continues to slowly unravel what she knows and her past.
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.
Kokkoku presents an oddly satisfying opener which makes the death of Anime Strike something to celebrate.
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.
