Sunshine Revival Challenge

Apparently my LJ blog is celebrating its 20th anniversary today. It doesn't feel that long ago, but anyway...

Also signal boosting [community profile] sunshine_revival, a revival of the multi-fandom [community profile] sunshine_challenge under a new community. The challenge will take place throughout the month of July.

2025 Summer Anime Season Preview

Summer solstice is almost here, which means a new anime season is about to start. This is the most stacked summer anime season I've ever seen, with at least 60 series airing this season. We have high profile sequels (Dandadan, Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru, Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun, Kaijuu 8-gou), reboots of old classic (Jigoku Sensei Nube, Cat's♥Eye), horror (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu), an all new KyoAni series (City the Animation), a potential big hit (Gachiakuta), etc. Strangely enough, there are four series this season that will only run for 4 to 6 episodes (because the source manga are only one to two volumes long).

As usual, I'm only previewing the series I'm interested in. For a full list of series airing in the summer, see AniChart.

Let's recharge

Been a bit busy and needed some recharging. Things have since gotten back to normal (more or less). Did some updates over on [community profile] potterfests. The next edition of HP fest news round-up is ready to go; it will be up on [community profile] potterfests on June 21.

I'm currently working on the 2025 summer anime season preview. It will be a very long post with 16 or 17 shows. The season itself will have roughly 60 new shows airing. For better or worse, it's probably the biggest summer anime season I've seen. Compared to that, the fall season seems to be on the lighter side.

After that I'll be writing some more danmei novel reviews here and there, plus more reading and plotting stories in my head.

ANN did a feature on danmei novels and censoring awhile ago (link). They included a link to an article titled A state against boys’ love? Reviewing the trajectory of censorship over danmei. I've bookmarked the article, but I haven't read it yet.
