http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfjQl-cgSSw Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) The focus this episode is on Machi, the Dullahan, and her developing feelings for Takahashi-sensei.

Youjo Senki (Saga of Tanya The Evil): Season 1/ Episode 2 "Prologue" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

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…

Chaos;Child: Season 1/ Episode 0 "Chaos;Head" & 1 "Digital Negative" – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

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…

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.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai (Interviews with Monster Girls): Season 1/ Episode 1 "Takahashi Tetsuo Wants an Interview" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

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.

Fuuka: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Fuuka!" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

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…
