I’m pretty close to the official opt-in with Tonari no Youkai-san. This show is genuinely interesting, because it’s more than a simple healing slice of life with Shinto overtones (which anime has had plenty of already). It’s about as comprehensive a folklore depiction as you can get, for starters, which is a plus if you …
Spring 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 3
Lots of drops this week as we enter Week 3 for the Spring Season! Mostly just me cleaning house with a few of the lesser series of the season, nothing to extreme. Dungeon Meshi – 17 [Harpy/Chimera] Dungeon Meshi took a break for a few weeks there, letting other shows strut their stuff, but this …

The especially weird part to me was the third or so of the episode …
Star Driver – Episode 23
Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I’m eager to dive back into Star Driver, as we dispense with school festival theatrics and surge onwards towards our grand finale. As expected, our last episode featured the cast’s long-awaited festival performance, which turned out to also serve as the vehicle for conveying the …
