Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today we’re returning to Trigun Stampede in a moment of crisis, as the Sand Steamer carrying our heroes to JuLai has come under attack from both Wolfwood’s old companion Livio and a small army of bandits.

The Fainting Hero #02 — Killing Slimes… Again
Thanks for the exposition and telling me it was stupid. I did glance at 9-nine- to see if it had improved from its second episode, but it was going in the opposite direction, with even less focus on anything interesting.

Takopii no Genzai (Takopi’s Original Sin) – 03
I sometimes think about the old saw “any port in a storm” when it comes to Taizan 5. Because when you take to that sea, the storm is never-ending and there are no ports. Normally an author would give you some respites of calm, a change of pace here and there to make the impact …

Summer 2025 Impressions: Introduction to Mineralogy, Bad Girl, Hotel Inhumans

The kind where the protagonist has a dark demonic power and after their father/dog/sister/guinea pig sacrifices themselves for his sake, he joins a team of radical teens, also with their own themed super powers, …
