Summer season links: MAL Summer 2026 page AniChart Summer 2026 page CrunchyRoll Summer 2026 lineup (still being announced) Not a ton of stuff that I'm looking forward to in the summer, I guess. But I'm open to trying a few new ones that maybe I wouldn't normally. We'll see how I feel when new stuff starts popping up on Crunchy. I will for sure continue watching You and I are Polar Opposites and The Elusive Samurai. Looking forward to both a lot. I am curious about Sayonara Lara, as I'm always on the lookout for new original anime. A good, original, complete story that can wrap up in ~13 episodes is my Holy Grail that I hope to find in every new season. It's been a minute since we got a really good new original anime. Kore Kaite Shine (Draw This, Then Die!) sounds like it could be amusing too. I'll give it a try if Crunchy licenses it. Last but not least, the GITS anime caught my attention... but AniChart says it will be streaming on Prime Video and I don't have that right now. I'll probably binge watch it at a later date when I get a month of Prime to buy something from Amazon. I should also go back and watch the Akane-banashi anime on Netflix when I find time for it this summer. I see a new season was announced for January 2027. I love this manga and I trust the anime will be good too. edit: Forgot that Daemons of the Shadow Realm continues in the summer. I'll keep watching it. I'll give Black Torch a try too. Might be good?

Dang, Hima-Ten! ended today I knew it was nearing the end, but this felt a bit too abrupt. The last several chapters honestly weren’t great, but it was still mostly a good series. Lots of very charming and likable characters
-
I thought the Jays were turning a corner. Then a six-game losing streak happened They could still add to it
-
This arc feels massive. I think there is a ton of story left. At Togashi’s pace, finishing it seems like a challenge… but I hope he can do it. Even if he has to cut stuff and speedrun to the end As long as it’s better than the end of Yu Yu Hakusho.
-
At this point I just hope he can finish it. It seems like there is a lot of story left.
-
You know both Blue Jays and Mariners suck...
-
Hunter x Hunter is back this week!!! Who knows how long it will last, but I am mega hyped
-
And that's a wrap on the Dr. Stone anime. I think I liked the ending better in the manga. No matter which way you slice it, the way things are resolved with Why-man are anti-climactic IMHO... but it all felt a bit more epic in the manga In any case, I enjoyed seeing it animated. And it was the second half of the final episode -- the "Where are they now?" epilogue stuff -- that was the real good stuff, not the ending of the moon mission in the first half of the episode. Most of this final arc, from Suika being alone and saving everybody, to planning the moon mission, and finally making it happen, is all top shelf stuff in my books. Chrome and Suika really steal the show though, insisting on finding a way for the moon team to be able to return to Earth Sai is also one of my favourite characters in Dr. Stone and it was a treat to see him animated finally.

The Jays have played better lately. The win % is pretty solid in the last ~25 games. If they win tonight, it’s another series win—and they finally get back to .500. Winning series has to be the goal. Keep winning 2-of-3 whenever possible. They don’t seem like a team that will go on a long win streak at any point. They dig themselves into a hole to start the season, so winning the division is very unlikely, but they can certainly be a strong Wild Card team. And if they are healthy and hitting their stride at the right time in October, they could do some damage again. There are problems though. Lots of challenges on the pitching side. And Vlad isn’t right this year so far. Still solid and hitting for average, but the power is really lacking. Not sure why. Vlad needs to be more impactful for them to really make some noise. I don’t know what to make of the M’s. Happy to see them leading the division… but the competition is pretty bad Even the White Sox have a slightly better (just barely) win % than the M’s! The AL Central and West are really hurting this year. I expected better from Houston and Detroit. Cleveland is above .500 but who knows for how long.

Hey, if the season ended today the Blue Jays are in the playoffs. The American League is just...bad except the Yankees. Rays look like they will start falling backdown with the rest of the league. I have to feel Seattle may end up trading one of their 6 starters for another bat.

Akane-banashi # 210 I'm up to # 180 in Black Clover. This arc has been nuts, so much action all over the place. The elves are tough customers! But the humans are proving to be pretty tough as well. Noelle's growth was awesome stuff in the chapters I just read last night Sakamoto # 263 This one was more of a build-up chapter. Do we get back to the main event next week?
-
If Skubal won’t re-sign in Detroit after this season then I guess they have to trade him. Otherwise it’s just poor asset management by the Tigers I’d love to see another team out-bid the Dodgers on the trade market though. The risk for some teams is what if he’s just a rental for half a season. Hard to trade a lot of prospects for that without some kind of handshake deal in place with Skubal for next offseason.
-
Hey Seattle has the 5th best run differential, if we score 71 runs without giving up one we can catch the Yankees in 4th. Seriously I just hope they can put some separation between them and the rest of the AL West, You ready for the Skubal to the Dodgers trade that probably going to happen?

This week's Spy x Fam... Yor: "Sorry Yuri, right now I just want to cuddle with my husband." Yuri: I fuckin' died
-
1. Hades 2 (credits + epilogue) 2. Pragmata I had a good time with it. Playing the demo, I wasn't sure if the hacking would get tiresome a few hours into the game, but it never seemed to. Did kinda see the ending coming, but it was still impactful. I ended up lowering the difficulty near the end because I was just ready for the game to be over. The last boss fight felt kinda superfluous, like they only added it because they wanted some big, action setpiece to end the game on.
-
This honestly looks so hype. Basically looks like it plays like a more dynamic version of the 360 game with a more open world aesthetic, and probably better motion and exploration in general. I also appreciate that it's actually involving the larger X-Men/Marvel universe instead of being fully self-contained like the last one. I also just realized it's meant to be a shared universe with the Spider-Man games, which gives a lot of hope for other potential Marvel games and crossovers in the future.

God damn that Slaughter Void soundtrack is metal as fuck.
-
Fuck it, had some credit and preordered this bad boy on my PS5. Let's goooo.
-
I'll be uploading the Kami soundtrack to Bandcamp soon! I think the publisher for the other one is trying to license the music to sell, so I'm kind of holding off on hearing more about what they want to do with that before putting anything out there, but I'd be happy to share the drive where I've stored all the songs
-
Cool! Both games look fun. I only have a Mac and a Switch so I don't think I can play either of them. Can you put the soundtracks on Bandcamp? I'd totally buy the music
-
I didn't want to make a separate thread for this, so this seems good enough Within the last two weeks I've had two games I did the soundtrack for come out on Steam. The other one I'm very proud of, but this particular one that came out today I think is a special game that has potential to make some waves. It's called Slaughter Void, and it's basically like Hotline Miami but Eldritch Horror. If y'all have the time and the money, would love if y'all checked it out. It's only 7.99 and on a small discount right now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3333980/Slaughter_Void/ If you want to check out the other game, it's only 2.69 right now and is a compact Metroidvania game, though this one was built off a game jam project so it definitely FEELS like a first time dev game. But if your curious or want to support, it's called Kami: The Great Guardian: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4381200/Kami_The_Great_Guardian/

11.) Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss Similar to other games I've played, the game is a lot of fun but not the most polished. Plays kind of like an investigation-based adventure game (think one of the Sherlock Holmes games from Frogwares, but with more puzzles). Setting is near-ish future following a member of a secret organization called Ancile that investigates occult occurrences and such. Game has solid investigation and puzzles, good Lovecraftian vibes, and an interesting (if light) story. I actually did heavy playtesting for the game over the last year so it was really cool to see the game in it's final state. Just sucks they didn't have resources to iron everything out before launch, but I don't think there's anything game breaking in it. Just a couple annoying things that didn't get fixed. I'm not hopeful the company is going to make it, though, as they're owned by Nacon and as their games are always niche things, I could see the publisher cutting their losses and dumping them with their current financial issues. 12.) Pragmata Pretty fun game. Movement and combat felt a little clunky at first, but it got better over the course of the game. Not overly long with a fun story and gameplay. It didn't grip me like some games I've recently played, but I had fun while it lasted and I don't regret playing it. The hacking mechanic that you use during fights was pretty interesting overall, and the story wasn't entirely predictable, so there's that, at least.

Yeah for sure, the "rough panel" look blends in better with certain art styles and would stick out like a sore thumb in other cases. Other stuff... Kagurabachi has continued to be really great lately. This one has been rapidly rising up my personal power rankings Miharu and Ban are in a bit of a bind in Witch Watch, and I'm very curious to see how they get out of it (Ban is so useless But maybe she'll miraculously do something good). This whole arc on the cruise ship has been really really good. I'm up to # 135 in Black Clover; they've just finished the Royal Knights competition and the squad is heading off to storm the Eye of the Midnight Sun's hideout. I'm really curious to learn more about Licht and the elves. Stuff has been alluded to but not really addressed directly/thoroughly. I want to know the history and backstory in a lot more detail!

Sakamoto Days is definitely one of the few manga that can get away with it because it already has a pretty gritty and sketchy style. I appreciate that Yuto Suzuki(finally looked it up again) always focuses on maximizing the FEEL of a panel. It's not necessarily about perfect art, it's about cool angles and poses, breathtaking action shots, and weighty moments that you let linger. I feel like if Undead Unluck suddenly looked like that, it would be really jarring
