Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today we’re heading back to the dorms for a fresh episode of Blue Reflection Ray, as our unlikely team of heroes prepare for their second stab at preventing the apocalypse. Though they had hoped to rescue their guiding star Mio from the Red Reflectors’ clutches, their ultimate confrontation revealed that Mio was actually fighting for their sake, determined to prevent a reprise of their original, disastrous final battle. Thus our Blue Reflectors are left with an impossible task, seeking to rescue a girl who doesn’t wish to be saved, and prevent a disaster whose occurrence is already settled history.
But all that stuff is still a little ways off; in the meantime, they’re simply trying to get by, cohabiting and communicating and pursuing the delicate character work that has always been this production’s great strength. Our last episode demonstrated some great strides for both Miyako and Niina, as Miyako managed to overcome her understandable fears regarding the girl who once nearly stole her feelings, and skillfully inducted Niina into their ramshackle dorm family. That welcome development was contrasted against some brutal revelations about new arrivals Amiru and Ryoka, who at this point appear to be making a kind of goodbye tour before disappearing from the earth. Can our heroes find a way to restore Fragments, saving both their new friends and the unfortunate Momo? Let’s get to it!
