Hello everyone, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. I’m proud to report that I was fully back on board the classics train this week, as I powered through three essential films that were all high on my to-watch list. One Piece still dominates a fair portion of the household’s viewing hours, but I’ve been making a point of setting some evenings aside, and should hopefully be back on a more reliable film schedule going forward. As for One Piece itself, we’re currently near the end of Whole Cake Island, meaning I will soon be watching One Piece’s incomplete, ongoing current arc.
That fact seems absurd to me. Just one year ago, One Piece was an implacable monument, a challenge I might get around to once I’d retired or something. I’d never have dreamed the show would evolve into something as gripping and dramatically complex as Hunter x Hunter – but here I am, emphatically wrong, happily equipped with the knowledge that there are two outstanding shonens in the world, and one of them is a legit fantasy epic. Anyway, let’s get to the movies!
