Summer's finally here, and the new season of anime is coming up fast. This season has a lot of hype surrounding it, thanks to some highly anticipated sequels and remakes as well as new adaptations for popular series as well! Alongside the carryovers from last season, I'm planning on picking up ten new titles from the Summer season.

Subdued Summer of Backlogging #2--School's Out Edition

This was supposed to be up last week, but I made the wrong assumption that I could totally edit screencaps and publish this post while simultaneously going through my last week of grad school. But now that I have my shiny new Masters degree, I've got the whole summer ahead of me! To start things off, here are two more titles from my backlog I finished two weeks ago, both of which I really enjoyed.

Subdued Summer of Backlogging #1--Hiroshi Kamiya Continues to Ruin My Life

While it's still not technically summer for me yet (I've still got finals week and a lecture to give to my school before I get my Masters), I've had some more free time lately so I've decided to start chipping away at my backlog. I've got 100+ titles in there, ranging from shows I fell behind on to stuff from years ago. There's not much of a plan of attack here; I just look at the list, decide what sounds interesting at the current moment in time, and watch that.

While I'd ideally like for this to be a weekly installment, I don't trust myself enough to pull that off. I'm also still following currently airing shows, so some weeks I might not touch the backlog at all. With that in mind, I've decided to make this a numbered series instead, in the hopes that writing little blurbs when I finish will keep me on track. Wish me luck!
