Overview As we go into part 2 of wrapping up the show’s first arc, a lot is explained in terms of how Death Gun came about. Review (with Spoilers) While the next episode is called “Debriefing,” it does seem most of the debriefing is done in this episode. We learn who the three members of…
Overview Death Gun’s true identity, partly, is revealed and we begin the transition to the 2nd half of the season. Trigger Warning(s): Attempted Sexual Assault Review (with Spoilers) With 24 episodes, and this being episode 13, it means it is time for the show to begin shifting toward its 2nd arc. However, with Death Gun…
Overview The time finally arrives when there is less talking and more action. Review (with Spoilers) Despite us only being one episode removed since Death Gun and Kirito faced off last, strangely it feels like it has been more than that. However, with Death Gun and Kirito coming face to face, and finally facing off…
Overview In a semi-filler episode, Sinon and Kirito figure out how Death Gun is able to kill his victims. Review (with Spoilers) With Sinon and Kirito temporarily escaping Death Gun, they take their time in a desert cave for granted and mostly have foregone the possibility of an ambush for they need to mentally strengthen…
Overview After a quick face off against Death Gun, Kirito and Sinon verbally share the guilt which comes from murdering in self-defense. Review (with Spoilers) As you can tell, for the most part, this arc deals with guilty feelings coming from doing what was necessary to protect yourself and the ones you love. Though, as…
Overview With Death Gun spotted, taking him out becomes a top priority. Review (with Spoilers) The pace of the show, and action, picks up as Death Gun becomes an active villain. One which inspires Sinon and Kirito to temporarily team up, and a worried Asuna to go talk to Kikuoka. Though with Death Gun lurking…
Overview After a slightly lengthy prelude, we get to see the Bullet of Bullets 3 contest! Review (with Spoilers) After boring qualifying matches, and then Kirito’s breakdown, Bullet of Bullets has finally begun! Leading me to hope that the imbalance of story and quality action is fixed. If just because these gunners are supposed to…
Overview As the Germanians strategize, we learn what Finé’s men are willing to do to win the war. Review (with Spoilers) You know, with watching a show like Girl Meets World you’d think I would be fine with inconsistency. However, even though this episode feels like a rebound to some form of past glory, I’m…
Overview Riley decides to do something even Maya wouldn’t dare do: Say no and disobey Topanga. Review (with Spoilers) With it still remaining unclear if Girl Meets World may have a season 4, episodes like this kind of remind you why Disney is kind of iffy about the idea. The writers seem to want to…
Overview The storm has passed and with that comes a calm. Not a calm before the storm because this show isn’t about such things. It’s the type of calm which is healing. For while there are uprooted trees and fallen branches, yeah there maybe some tears. But in rebuilding, you are reminded of who is…
Overview The first season ends without much in the way of grand gestures or storyline and in many ways that is what seems appropriate. Review (with Spoilers) It is kind of weird for a season finale to not end on a cliffhanger, wrap up major stories, or be anything but just another episode. Admittedly, in…
Overview Just as Lawrence’s relationship with Issa is recovering, here comes Daniel. Meanwhile, Molly is still trying to find someone of status to commit to her as Rasheeda seemingly became her problem. Review (with Spoilers) There is nothing to really roar about when it comes to this episode. It has its cute moments here and…
Overview More and more people venture toward the maze and as this is done it is hard to not begin to question who are some of these newcomers outside of the world of Westworld? Review (with Spoilers) The maze. What is at the center of it? One theory lurks in my head, especially as Arnold’s…
Overview Humans returns and while time has moved forward, things largely remain the same. Review (with Spoilers) It has been a very long time since original and new episode of Humans has aired. So long that, honestly, if it wasn’t for me adding all the season 1 reviews, I would be so lost as to…
Overview This episode steps away from GGO to have both Shino and Kirito reflect on what happened in the last episode. Review (with Spoilers) I wouldn’t necessarily call this a filler episode, but I must admit I was kind of bored watching Kirito give himself a guilt trip over the three members of Laughing Coffin…
Overview Three lackluster battles are made up for with a flashback and Kirito and Sinon getting intimately close. Review (with Spoilers) I partly am disappointed in this episode, if just because Kirito’s battles in GGO remain lackluster, and even Sinon’s lacked the excitement of the first one we saw her in. If anything, it feels…
Overview With the first match of Battle of Bullets 3 coming, Kirito decides to reveal he is a guy to Sinon. Review (with Spoilers) In this episode, the action begins and with Kirito being a sword user, I think we may not get the type of battles we have seen from Sinon when it comes…
Overview When Shino/ Sinon met Kirito. Review (with Spoilers) With Kirito entering GGO comes the true beginning of the series and in the first episode, he already made an impression, partly because he is a girl. Something which leads to odd moments of commentary dealing with the harassment those with girl characters receive. Though, as…
Overview As we get to know real world Shino, Kirito preps to dive into Gun Gale Online. Review (with Spoilers) While in the first season there was character development in the form of people getting stronger by fighting or surviving tragedy in the virtual world, with Shino we get an excellent mix of her developing…
Overview This episode’s focus is establishing how much of a badass Sinon is. Review (with Spoilers) As we get more in tune with the Gun Gale Online universe, Sword Art Online II continues to show us a world which we can only hope will become reality as Sony, and other technology companies, make serious gains…
Overview After a year recovering, it seems Kirito is about to be thrown into another VRMMO game. Review (with Spoilers) When it comes to successful series of late, that don’t seem to go way past their expiration date, like Naruto and many others, Sword Art Online is probably one of the few that didn’t seek…
Boy meets girl, but not in the way you’re used to. For there is so much that separates them. Yet, by edging fate toward a favorable outcome, there is hope that neither one will become a forgotten name in the other’s life.
Overview As Izetta is exposed to the press, the Germanian army contemplates how real is Izetta and what is her weakness? Review (with Spoilers) We’re about 5 episodes in and I think I pretty much lost any excitement I had about this show. For more on “A False Miracle” a rather interesting title, to say…

Overview In this episode, we learn of Kayo’s fate, for now, and find Satoru trying to move onto making sure Aya and Hiromi also aren’t killed. Though there remains no investigation into who the kidnapper maybe. Trigger Warning(s): Domestic Violence & Blood
Overview In episode 8, “Spiral” you may think what we are going to be presented is a downward spiral, but what perhaps you may see is that as much as Satoru thinks he is changing things, he is still caught in a hurricane of death. Or not.
Overview In episode 7, “Out of Control,” Satoru is given what perhaps may be his final chance to right things. For, as seen in the last episode, it seems his adversary has perfectly framed Satoru.
Overview In “Grim Reaper” Satoru finds himself accused of another murder, or in this case an attempted one, and while he finds a new ally, there remains a mysterious foe who seemingly has overwhelming resources at his disposal. Characters & Story (with Commentary) Topic 1: Mom’s Confidant (Satoru) With him suspected of murdering his mother…

Overview It seems the revival feature is out, but you will get to see some 10-11 year old puppy love. All of which may get Satoru just a bit closer to figuring out what happened to Kayo? Trigger Warning(s): Child Abuse
Overview For me, Boku Dake ga Inai Machi is everything I wanted Subete ga F ni Naru – The Perfect Insider and Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru to be. It is a murder mystery rooted in reality, but with fantasy elements, and has a well-rounded lead to take you on a journey…
Overview A storm comes to the area and forces everyone to Aunt Vi’s house, included some people Aunt Vi would never willingly invite in. No matter how strong the storm is.
