Magical Girl Site: Season 1/ Episode 2 “Tempest” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
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.
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.
In order to take a step forward, you gotta take a step back and Midge pretty much leaps back to where she was in life before she met Joel.
Midge makes a firm decision on the direction her life is going in, and it sure as hell isn’t being the so thankful wife anymore.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel officially begins and after being haunted by the idea of being single, she realizes how much better off she’ll be without Joel.
Sea Oak doesn’t seem like it could last more than a few seasons but Glenn Close and company make it seem it’ll be good for at least 3. Creator George Saunders Director(s) Hiro Murai Writer(s) George Saunders Noted Cast Bernie Glenn Close Cole Jack Quaid Min Jane Levy Jade Rae Gray Ma Linda Emond Angela Sarah…
When I think of sci-fi shows appropriate for kids, all I can come up with are animated stories. Ones which usually star white kids and, at most, may feature a token person of color. Will vs. The Future changes that. It is both live action, starring an Asian (?) and a Black character trying to…
With a strong focus in using archival video when possible, and using actors to fill in the blanks, American Playboy – The Hugh Hefner Story, finds a rather interesting way to liven up the documentary genre.
Awkward, quirky, and cringe-worthy has become a norm for female comedians. It is like Black comedians telling jokes about white people. It pretty much has become the basic go to. However, in Fleabag Season 1, you get the sense that while Phoebe Waller-Bridge is likely embellishing and making up a few things she has gone…
Oasis reminds you of why Amazon has a pilot season in which they test to see if audiences would even like the show before they invest in full seasons of them.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is probably one of the few shows Amazon has put on their slate, besides Mozart in the Jungle which makes you believe they are serious about producing compelling, funny, and original productions.
The Last Tycoon, while likable, doesn’t have that certain hook or spark to make it something you want to put on your watchlist for when, or if, the full first season is released.
After really making a name for herself as a comedic and even pseudo-dramatic actress, Kathryn Hahn has been given her chance to shine in I Love Dick. A show which seems like something which fits the burgeoning brand which is Amazon Prime.
Overview As a parent mentally preps to reveal to their kids that they are Trans, the kids try to navigate through their own personal issues. Review (with Spoilers) Ok, let it be known I watched the original pilot first and then the new pilot available on Amazon.com, of which the only difference was the cast….
Overview While Amazon’s synopsis may intrigue you, Ricci doesn’t bring the oomph.
Overview Mozart in the Jungle takes what you’d think would be the uptight world of symphony players, and presents an edge to change your viewpoint. Review (with Spoilers) Thus far Amazon’s foray into original programming, in my opinion, has been clunkers. Most of them seem like subtle rip-offs of more popular shows, but with Mozart…
