We’re in the in-between space with the big summer convention season shows and while Otakon is just around the corner, we’re enjoying the bit of a break after Anime Expo and SDCC with all of its craziness in coverage. This past week has been fun in that I ended up catching up on all the new anime releases I had in-house to work on so I ended up spending more time on the TV side than anything else for a couple of days. Sometimes you need that mental breather before digging into things.
Which worked out nicely as Aniplex USA sent us a fantastic package of fun that included two recent shows with Eromanga sensei and Granblue Fantasy and the new Blu-ray edition of Oreimo 2, which means it’s back to that particular fetish for me!
Summer convention season also means the folks at the distributors are on the road a lot so we just got in a big box of anime from Funimation with July releases to check out. We’re not even sure where we should begin here…
I also prodded at some of the stuff in my collection as I try to figure out what to keep and what to ditch. Some of what I get to is just pure nostalgia, like Phantom Quest Corps or just coming across my copy of Battle Angel. I also pulled some fun to revisit a few episodes of with Dirty Pair while setting FLCL out for the kids to check out as they’ve not seen it, or remember it from when I probably showed it to them when they were younger.
This coming week has us checking out a few of our older releases a bit that I took in once again and we should also have reviews for No Game, No Life Zero along with Junjo Romantica 3, Eromanga-sensei and the rest of the Aniplex USA releases.
