Anime discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.
New rule for Worth Reading – five entries, or end of the month, whichever comes first. By the luck of the draw, I hit both about the same time this time around.
Somehow, I also ended up with what I think is a nice thematic collection too. Can you guess what it is? (I’ll reveal it at the end.)
So, let’s hit the jump and take a look at what’s Worth Reading!

In this edition… Shirobako, Land of the Lustrous, some thoughts on the responsibility of anime fans, and a couple of AMV’s.

I wouldn’t say the Queen is one of my favorites bands, but I do enjoy a great deal of their music. And of course, it’s always fun to combine two things I enjoy.. So, as promised when I posted the Maid Dragon AMV, here’s a collection of anime AMV’s that use Queen for their music.
Hit the jump, and let’s rock!
There’s a ton of Boku no Hero Academia AMV’s out there, almost all featuring Deku, or Bakugo, or Todoroki. When she is the subject, Ochako is almost always paired with Deku and it’s all about the shipping…
This is patently unfair. As we saw in the second season, she’s a person in her own right with her own motivations and goals. That’s why I’m pleased as punch to share this AMV, which puts Ochako Uraraka right where she should be – front and center in her own story.
=========
As always, feel free to comment here or there… If you enjoyed this AMV, be sure and drop by the video’s page on YouTube and support the creator by giving a like or leaving a comment.
This lovely AMV popped up in my YouTube recommendations yesterday – and I just had to share it as soon as I could. Just today I’ve watched it about three times, even when I should have been doing other things.
Heavy on the feels, and with the video very nicely synced to the audio, it’s very definitely Worth Watching. I especially like the fast cuts during the drum parts right before the refrain – inspired!

Like most of us, I don’t obsess over stats. Doesn’t mean I don’t pay attention though. Checking them today (when I should be working on tomorrow’s post) I found pleasant news indeed. Sometime in the last couple of weeks, my total views and visitors for 2018 blew past the total for all of 2017!
Even more surprising… I was convinced that my output was down for the year. But with almost all of a quarter left to go, I’m closing in on last year’s total.
(And when I went searching, I did not expect to find an AMV using a disco era song… But there it is. So you get to watch an AMV rather than a disco era music video.)
Just for today, it’s an open bar here at the Lounge! Drinks are on the house!
Y’all now how my brain works by now… should be doing one thing (like working on the seasonal posts that are soon due), but it insists on working on something else. Anyhow, welcome to the first edition of Worth Watching – a new feature here at the Lounge exploring the world of AMV’s. More on that at the end of the post, first let’s hit the jump and watch some d_mm good AMV’s! Continue reading “Worth Watching – A new feature!”
There’s a ton of “what if ________ had an anime opening” videos out there… But this one goes above and beyond the call.
Hit the jump for more!
Just for fun, each season I’m going to look back four years to see what I was watching back then and talk about what I thought of it then and now. Since its Summer 2018, that means it’s time to look at Summer 2014 and cringe (or not) at what I watching back in my larval days.
Hit the jump and let’s travel back in time to Summer 2014!
I know, I know. A couple of weeks back I said that “it’s unusual to use the music from one anime to make an AMV for another”…. But there’s actually a special case where that’s less unusual. Combining the OP track from one anime with footage from a second anime to create a crossover or parody opening sequence.
And why does Renge feature as my introductory image? You’ll have to hit the jump to find out!
