Rewatching the Mighty Nein's first animated episode again for a writeup, and praying anew that this adaptation's revisions extend to fixing Nott's narrative. My investment went from full to zero during that stretch

Today we're reaching the end of a tumultuous ride through adolescence, as the lovelorn heroes of Scum's Wish say goodbye to the familiar faces and treasured feelings of their high school life. Is there hope at the end of all this sorrow? Let's find out! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/12/s...

Finishing up Scum's Wish, and happy to report its shirt game remains strong through the end

My end-of-the-year wrap-up post is now up on the blog for those interested in reading about all the anime I watched in 2025! Read➡: mageinabarrel.com/2026/01/10/p...

Today we return at long last to my own fledgling adventures in tabletop games, as we talk about seeding conflicts, meeting players where they are, and balancing player agency and narrative cohesion. Let's dive into the design of my first D&D dungeon! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/10/m...

The boys are back in town

We're ending the week with another trip downtown, as we explore the exuberant, preposterously impressive fifth episode of CITY The Animation. Let's dive into the perils of hospitality, the pleasures of tsuchinokos, and the peaks of animated ambition! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/09/c...

We're ringing in the new year with another eclectic collection of films, as we explore an innovative found footage production, catch a fun Nancy Meyers drama, hang out with our good friend Godzilla, and watch Billy Zane just devour the scenery. Let's get to it! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/07/w...

Finished the first act of Expedition 33, and I think I might be done. The fun parts of the combat system are utterly buried under the obnoxious quick time/parry mechanics, and the rest of the game just feels clumsy and undercooked

How is it still two weeks until Critical Role comes back. I can't wait that long to learn if Wick and Tyranny die or make out

We're ringing in the week with more nightmarish band drama, as the lost souls of Ave Mujica find out if their reunion tour can be even more psychological damaging than their debut. It's time for BanG Dream! Ave Mujica! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/05/b...

Today we're diving back into the philosophy of rock music and the perils of artistic collaboration, as we check out a fresh episode of Rock is a Lady's Modesty. Can Lilisa and Otoha's caustic chemistry survive two new bandmates? Let's find out! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/03/r...

Talim was one of my first mains in fighting games, partially because her kit is really fun, but moreso because she's always saying shit like "is there no other way?" and "I hope I didn't hurt you!" Absolutely the most devilish fighting game archetype

Let's ring in the new year with the traditional challenge against God, as we return to Yuki Yuna's Hero Chapter in the midst of some fresh bespoke suffering. With the Divine Tree now holding Yuna's friends as hostages, deicide will surely feel all the sweeter! wrongeverytime.com/2026/01/02/y...

With January nearly upon us, today I look back over the year that was, cataloging both my favorite anime of the preceding months and just, y'know, life and stuff. It's time for my Top Anime of 2025 (and Year in Review)! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/31/t...

Published an article about the show *and* made this after a certain episode aired, which predictably went viral. Streets are saying that no one has promoted Shoushimin as much as I have

One of the best to ever do it

Alright, we're almost through the fake week between Christmas and New Years. I'll be posting my Year in Review piece on Wednesday, and then be back to my regular weekly schedule on Friday. Please conduct yourselves responsibly until then!

KyoAni have clearly chosen their side in the Dragon Wars bsky.app/profile/cats...

First trailer for "Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia" anime series by Science Saru studio. Directed by Naoko Yamada & Abel Gongora. Character designer & Animation director : Kenichi Yoshida. Based on the manga by Tomato Soup. Coming in July 2026. Full video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqB3...

Finally got Expedition 33 for Christmas. Really intrigued by the story so far, and I love the distinct combat mechanics for each character, but I have to hope we're reaching the tipping point on developers treating perfect parries as the ultimate skill marker

#Silksong Merry Christmas!

Its her day

The danger of power misapplied is known to mages; in fact, their society is constructed around avoiding its misuse. But to those whose pain demands magical remedy, such caution offers little comfort New today: Witch Hat Atelier and the Cruelty of Prudence wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/22/w...

I love when Togo makes her "time to kill God" face

Mothra vs Godzilla (1964)

Today we are glancing back yet moving forward, as we enter a new Monogatari arc laced with endless parallels to the original Kizumonogatari. With the now college-aged Araragi facing a fresh vampiric mystery, let's see how our apparition hunter has grown! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/20/m...

Today one journey comes to a climactic end, as we tackle the final episode of Vox Machina's third season. Let's dig into the nuances of dramatic escalation, the alleged primacy of the gods, and the meaning of death in tabletop games! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/19/t...

it's midnight and i didn't draw all day ... so here is a really quick rei hino for anyone who happens to be awake at this ungodly hour _(:Ⅰ」∠)_

This week we continue our rampage through the Godzilla canon, as a new era's Big G reunites with a few long-time friends. That plus a sumptuous work of folk horror and a murderous wrestling Santa, all here in the Week in Review! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/17/f...

World's most sweet and pure evil ass child 😛

Today a hateful red sun rises over Seiren Academy, as dark secrets are revealed and Saint Juste falls further into the depths of deprivation. So basically it's just Tuesday, but there's still much to discuss as we return to the sumptuously appointed Dear Brother! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/15/d...

Obviously one of the all-time greats of gangster dramas and film noir, but absolutely check out The Sea Wolf, where he plays an educated yet embittered sea captain who's chosen to rule in hell rather than serve in heaven bsky.app/profile/scre...

We're settling into the weekend with a warm reflection on old friends and memories, as Frieren and her companions continue their journey north. Is there value in the markers we leave, even after their meaning has long been forgotten? Let's get to it! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/13/f...

Today we're diving into a fresh slate of mysteries, as Jogoro finds his summer break interrupted by both Kengo and Osanai's fresh fascinations. My man just wanted to reach his Agatha Christie, but greater things are in store as we return to Shoushimin Series! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/12/s...

This week we arrive at a high point in the Godzilla canon, the magnificent Godzilla vs Biollante. That plus grim huntsmen, quirky serial killers, and algae that eats you in the latest Week in Review! wrongeverytime.com/2025/12/10/f...

Because capitalism orients people toward profit rather than allowing us to pursue our interests freely, it inevitably separates humans from the creative act. AI art is just the slop frothing up from that gap. jacobin.com/2025/12/ai-s...

This week we're checking in with the ojamajos, who are currently doing their best to manage a baby that has just learned how to crawl (on the ceiling). Exorcist-tinged maternal lessons abound as we return to Ojamajo Doremi! wrongeverytime.com/2025/06/21/o...
