No, it’s cool. We can wait. Non-Impressions: Of all the rest of the things I tried to watch, I think this takes second place, mostly because there was sort of some action, all the godawful faces and reactions notwithstanding, but the pacing completely shot to hell by the need to internally narrate everything that was happening, …
Yuri is My Job! – Episode 11
Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today we’re scrambling for good seats at Cafe Liebe, just in time for Yuri is My Job!’s Blume election results to be revealed.

His absence for most of the season premiere wasn’t an issue, but it is a reminder of how much the …
Second Impressions Digest – Kimi to Ame to (With You and the Rain), Fermat no Ryouri
Kimi to Ame to – 02 With You and the Rain is a vibe, that’s for sure. And I’m definitely enjoying it. But the whole “dog” thing is vexing me a little. Why is it that everyone (with one exception) looks at “Kimi” and says “Oh, a dog”? Because look, it couldn’t be any more …
