Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) This episode strongly focuses on Noriko and Mugi’s date and while she has only been seen as a brat and an annoyance thus far, in this episode you’ll genuinely connect with her. Especially if you ever fell in love with one of your friends.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) For a little more than a year, between the new versions of Sailor Moon and Digimon, featuring the 1st season’s Digi-Destined, it seemed cashing in on nostalgia was a good thing. But then came Gantz:O.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) With the show firmly shifting Fuuka’s storyline toward making this a show about music and seeming ending Yuu’s harem and just making it about him and Koyuki, I almost feel like I need to reevaluate the show. It’s no longer what it once was and I don’t know if that is…

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) At this point, as cool as the action scenes are and as Being X makes it seem that it’ll, one way or another, inspire true faith in Tanya, it all means very little if we are to never learn why the Empire is at war.

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) This episode focuses on trying to build up Koyuki’s status on the show through showing her and Yuu as kids and presenting her as a real contender for Yuu’s heart.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) This is a very weird episode. If only because it sort of goes against the grain when it comes to action anime. We aren’t presented some unbeatable force which our hero, well anti-hero, has to train and get stronger to defeat. Pretty much, Tanya is given the opportunity for a blood…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) The title of this anime has confused me a little bit for I just don’t see how the need and want to feel desired by someone makes a person scum. Yet, in this episode, we get a taste of who is actually scum and there is an argument that Hanabi is…
Introduction After an extended wait to find a subbed version, I finally have found access to Chaos Dragon – Sekiryuu Seneki. Which, at first, I must say didn’t feel like it was worth the wait. Granted, it has blood splatter, a seemingly insurmountable force, as well as charismatic villains, but with the Dragon in question…
Overview Digimon returns for another round and while there isn’t a huge amount of action or compelling fights, we do get to see the challenges which come from being a DigiDestined who still has to go to school and have a life outside of the digital world.
Overview Like so many kids who were born in the 90s, many of my arguments dealt with which was better and often it would be one cartoon vs. another. For me, I was a devoted Digimon fan up until the 3rd season in which I had to tap out since the quality faded. However, now…
Overview With Salamandinay deciding it is time to rescue Aura, it presents an opportunity for Ange and Husk to return home. The question is, though, will they return home and be neutral, or perhaps fight alongside the DRAGON clans who they have fought against for so long? Topic 1: Thank Yous and Preparation – Ange…
Overview While hope may exist, it seems not everyone is as open minded as Momoka. Topic 1: Momma, It’s Me – Hilda Topic 2: Sylvia, It’s Me – Ange Topic 3: The Betrayal – Hilda & Ange Review (with Spoilers) – Below

Episode 1: Fallen Princess Overview A beloved princess discovers the world she thought was her oyster, was never meant for people like her. Trigger Warning(s): Uncomfortable scene dealing with clothes being ripped off and a physical exam Review (with Spoilers) When the episode begins, honestly I thought this was going to be another sci-fi/ fantasy…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Demi-chan wa Kataritai (Interviews With Monster Girls) firmly established itself as a slice of life anime featuring a few world famous monsters and while they do have some issues, they are approached in such a melancholy or indifferent way that it is hard to take and keep interest at times.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) While the majority of the episode is very aggravating and ends with an unnecessary moment featuring some ecchi, there remains this cute budding relationship which is the show’s saving grace.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U8xDqmKZu4 Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) I had to double check if I was watching the right show when the episode started. The style looked different, we were in a different era and focusing on a different person. However, lo and behold (shout out to a commenter who said I was using it wrong), the person…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPoweoGCUgU Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) It has been nearly a decade since Chaos;Head was released and honestly I only remember that I watched it. Making episode 0 decent for sparking up some memories but, combined with episode 1, honestly unless you like seeing bodies twisted, mangled, or disfigured, I’m not sure what you may get…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyc3bclxqm8 Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Unrequited love, especially from a person you have access to, who interacts with you but never develops the same feelings you have for them is a weight on the heart. This is on full display and may sadly bring back memories of not the proverbial “One who got away” but…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) With a drab art style, a lead who seems disinterested in anything besides smoking, paired with subordinates who are annoying jokey and someone who is envious of our lead and wants to take him down a peg… I feel so tricked by the preview.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jy6_Fp_fco Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Demi-chan wa Kataritai reminds me of Zootopia. For despite the cuteish nature of the previews, it deals with prejudice, being uncomfortable in knowing you are a minority and having to dispel and avoid stereotypes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Oh11GzrFn8 Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) As opposed to Seiren, Fuuka delivers what a person would want and desire from a first episode. The boy may still be generic, but the girl more than compensates for that. Making it so when they get close and he notes they aren’t a couple, but she responds with “We…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_hKXW7zKMw Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) Trying to figure out what you are going to do with your life, when it has been guided by teachers and parents more than yourself, is daunting. Luckily there are always friends to guide you, and many a potential love interest to distract you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybpmPUMK_WY Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) I want you to imagine Izetta: The Last Witch and up the violence while toning down how memorable some of the supporting characters are. In episode one “The Devil of the Rhine” that’s what you get. But believe me when I say this show will likely far surpass the best…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulhtadjYwI Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) You remember one of your first real crushes? I’m talking about in elementary school where holding hands was the most intimate thing ever. Well, imagine, or remember, feeling rejected. Makabe remembers.

Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) In a sort of weird way, Kizumonogatari, thanks to us witnessing the birth of Hanekawa’s crush on Koyomi, sort of becomes a romance. Just one which features more violence than gore than your usual monster/ girl romantic movie. Trigger Warning(s): Blood (Excessive) | Gore (Body Mutilation, intestines being exposed)
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.
