Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I thought we’d take a stroll down to Maho-dou and check in on the ojamajos, who are surely getting up to some preposterous trouble even as we speak. I mean, the last episode saw Doremi considering marriage to a philandering cowboy entirely so she could …
Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2 – 04
I think the first thing I should say is that this is an early contender for best anime episode of 2025 (along with a couple RuroKen eps). Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun is really something special.

Ao no Hako (Blue Box) – 18
Amazing how fast a dream can turn into a nightmare… As I’ve noted before, one of the things I like about Ao no Hako is the way it balances the sports and romance sides of its story. It doesn’t do so in the same way that Adachi does, but there are broad similarities in the …
