For various personal reasons, writing on Summer 2021 ended up being a bust. So, as is so popular these days, time for the Lounge to get a reboot.
Let’s hit the jump and dive right in!

Welcome back to Worth reading – my occasional roundup of news & articles on anime & Japan along with my thoughts and comments. There’s some good stuff this time around…
So, let’s hit the jump and take a look at what’s Worth Reading!
Didn’t mean for my little vacation to stretch on so long… But I’m baaaack! It’s week 3, and y’all know what that means! What shows are keepers, and which got the gong? Hit the jump and let’s find out!

While waiting on the Fruits Basket finale to wrap up coverage of Spring… Let’s take a moment to take a look at what’s coming for Summer 2021. (Other than the heatwave we’re expecting this weekend.)
Hit the jump and let’s dive right in!
Well, the new computer is in and set up! But that doesn’t mean I’m done being frustrated. Something about Crunchyroll’s new website prevents me from taking proper screenshots… It’s *always* something. Anyhow, let’s dive in and chat about anime shall we?

Why more questions than answers? Because that’s how a lot of shows leave me feeling this week. But really, isn’t that a good thing? Wouldn’t it be boring if everything was easily explained and answered?
Either way, hit the jump and join the Q&A!
OK, back online. With an aged machine. With an aged Mac (and me a PC person). Still, better than nothing… Lets me get a post out and that’s what matters, neh?
So, let’s hit the jump and get caught up on the last two weeks.
If you follow me on twitter, you’ve got the gist of it… But the last week or so has kinda sucked. And it’s going to suck for a while yet.
Basically, my desktop died last week with my post only half written, so no post came out last week. Thanks to an IRL friend, I’m back online with an ancient (circa early 10’s) Mac Mini… But it’s slow, and quirky. (And this small screen isn’t easy to work on.) I also can’t quite figure out how to take screenshots.
So, the plan is this: Later this week, I’ll get a mixed Week 7/8 post out and resume regular coverage next week. Because this machine doesn’t work quite like my normal (Windows) desktop, they’ll probably be text only and likely short.
The new machine is due in sometime in late June, and things should return to normal. (“Normal” is of course used advisedly around me!) It’s taking that long because the various demands on my computer mean I have to buy a customized one because no prebuilt suffices. (Not to mention the various ongoing impacts of the pandemic.)
So, bear with me folks… I’m still here, just working with one hand tied behind my back.
Finally… The scene I didn’t know I was holding my breath for…
Anyhow, I probably shouldn’t use the intro blurb to gush too much! It’s a busy week, both IRL and in various anime worlds – so hit the jump and let’s get to it!
In some ways it’s almost a good thing that I didn’t really get a post out last week. There’s a lot of episodes where last week and this form a two part episode! And there were some good episodes this week to boot.
So, let’s hit the jump and dive right in.
