Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today we’re striding forth boldly into March, though sadly, here in New England that still means it’s the middle of winter. Though I seem to recall the existence of spring and fall from my childhood, lately it’s felt like there’s only two seasons around here: the blessed summer of May through October, and the hateful winter of November through April. Fortunately, we’ve still got plenty of stories to tide us through the cold, and I’m personally excited to be cracking the seal on a whole slate of new features. Having finished Fallout, Moribito, and the delightfully soapy Sandokan, we’re now returning to the Tomino well with Aura Battler Dunbine, while also looking forward to the upcoming second season of One Piece’s live-action adaptation. I’m frankly eager to get back to Dunbine right this minute, but first, let’s run down the week in film!

Winter 2026 – Week 6 in Review

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. This week I am officially a year older, a fact I am attempting to accept with whatever grace an old fogie like me can muster. It’s an odd thing to have moved so fully beyond mass culture’s sphere of interest, but it turns out life does continue after the halcyon days generally featured in anime, and thus we all gotta make the most of it. A nice meal, hanging out with friends, watching a fucked-up movie; in my experience, the greatest joys in life are not far out of reach, just so long as we keep recommitting to seeking them. And personally, sharing my errant thoughts on art is absolutely one of the things that keeps me putting one foot in front of the other, certain that tomorrow will be a new day with its own unexpected joys. So thank you all for reading my ramblings, and I promise to keep digging at the wonders of anime, cinema, and whatever else crosses my path. Now let’s check out some films!

Fall 2024 – Week 4 in Review

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am eager to finish this dang article and get the heck outside, as we’re apparently experiencing some sort of late-October summer reprise, with temperatures in the 70s even as the leaves fall from the trees. You gotta take what victories you can during our ongoing environmental collapse, but fortunately for you all, this unexpected bounty of perfect weather has not stopped me from huddling inside and watching movies all week. This week I’ve got epic adventures, sordid slashers, and also a gorgeous anime feature by a man who is rocketing up my list of favorite directors. Let’s break ‘em all down!

Fall 2024 – Week 1 in Review

Posted on by

Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. The fall anime season is now upon us, which for me means it’s time to look back on the summer season, and see if any of its brave contenders seem worthy of revisiting. I have to admit a certain nostalgia for putting my whole heart into some seasonal contender only for it to flame out spectacularly, but I’m afraid my heart can only take so much disappointment these days, and thus I generally employ the safer strategy of letting the race end and retroactively assessing the wreckage. Of course, all that personal philosophy goes out the window when money enters the equation, and thus I was happy to munch through the first episode of Hiroshi Nagahama’s Uzumaki adaptation for you faithful viewers. I’ll have a full notes article on that out soon, but for now, I present to you ravenous hounds a fresh trencher of film reflections. Let’s get to it!
