How Not To Summon a Demon Lord: Season 1/ Episode 2 “The Strongest Newcomer” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
As Shera’s backstory is revealed to us, so is the fact this show is hell-bent on making sure you get all the ecchi your heart can desire.
In this sub-category, you’ll find TV series that are generally Japanese anime, but also animation from across the world.
As Shera’s backstory is revealed to us, so is the fact this show is hell-bent on making sure you get all the ecchi your heart can desire.
A seemingly innocent girl trapped in a building that resembles a multi-level hell, one which may just be impossible to escape alive.
Despite its exuberant amount of ecchi, there might be something of value in How Not to Summon a Demon Lord.
Magical Girl Site may have its touchy, and gory, moments, but neither are consistent enough to keep those with a feign interest watching.
With a rather lukewarm series of mysteries and basic characters, Island may not make any top 10 list for the summer season.
Magical Girl Site ends with an ellipsis. One which makes it clear that the girls have barely begun their fight and they’d need a second season to finish what they started.
In this episode, we finally learn what are site admins and how they come to be. At least, all but the original one.
As Aya deals with her hand in Nijimin’s death, Nana decides it is finally the time to make a move and handle those ungrateful girls.
With Kaname having Nijimin’s shtick, he poses a bigger threat than maybe even the admins. Leading to the question: How can the girls take back what he stole?
What begins as a peaceful day off devolves into us learning about two pending tragedies. One of which is right around the corner.
As the girls from the other site meet Aya and co., so increases the sisterhood and the unfortunate seeming rather blissful.
Just when you are left thinking Steins;Gate 0 is just dragging us along, they present a trigger which may force Okabe into some real action.
The purpose of Nana creating magical girls gets revealed, alongside so much more.
While Shiina is introduced, so is the idea Okabe and Suzu weren’t the only ones looking for her. Which, with Moeka around, raises red flags.
There might actually be something that could make this spin-off interesting. However, how much longer can we get strung along?
Multiple characters have their life on the line and it seems someone we may know, Game of Thrones style, might actually die.
Steins;Gate 0 attempts to inspire interest by noting Okabe feeling a world line shift, and it being noted Suzu didn’t return to the past alone.
We’re right back where we started and the action is… okay. But it is the ending of the episode which brings interest.
We finally learn why Sarina and friends bullied Aya as well as who, or what, is inside Yatsumura’s home.
Batman Ninja’s beautiful and intricate art is wasted on a story which is not only dull but perhaps features more mecha action than ninja/samurai styled fights.
Mayushii’s feelings for Okabe are addressed, just as much as him forgetting the Kurisu he has been speaking with is just AI.
Episode 3 follows up on the idea that, despite Tanis being a genius, he won’t be able to do everything for his siblings.
While we don’t learn more about the Tempest, we do learn about Yatsumura’s past and meet another magical girl with a very weird object.
It seems this will be the last episode covering what happened before the events of the first one – thank god.
Taking care of your older siblings can be quite a chore when you’re the baby of the family. Maybe even a responsibility to big to handle on your own.
As Okabe seeks closure, it seems he is only drawn deeper into his trauma as Maho gets closer to him.
The foundation is laid for an interesting adventure in Children of the Whales, especially as it pushes from the idea we are seeing the last of mankind to something else.
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.
Violet Evergarden is one of the few animes which match beautiful visuals with a story that will, in time, rock your heart and inspire tears.
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.
While Doreiku might be strange, especially due to the show being about enslaving people, what most do with the power is uninspiring.
This weird little family comedy, which hints at a sad, if not outright traumatic past, really shouldn’t be as hard to find as it is.
After many years, Steins;Gate returns and with a bit of a reintroduction episode for the premiere, you get quickly reacclimated and excited for what the season will hold.
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?
Magical Girl Site, despite not being all that gory, maybe one of the most f’d up shows you’ve seen in a while.
Violet Evergarden ends with closure for fans and the character, and once again you need to plan to shed tears.
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.
