- Since I watched no fewer than 5 shows last season, I’m trying to stay disciplined and just watch one for fall, Gundam Build Fighters. I made the right choice. It doesn’t take itself seriously at all, and Ramba Ral makes a cameo in episode one. You can watch it legally on YouTube.
- If you’re still decided what to watch and where, my Twitter friend Scott took notes and it looks like Crunchyroll is streaming 30+ shows this season. I’ll just leave my Crunchyroll affiliate link riiiight here.
- It’s pretty obvious I support Crunchyroll as it exists today. But not everyone feels so warmly toward the site, which does have a sordid past. (Before it made things right, it was an illegal streaming site.) Here’s why the Seventh Style bloggers think supporting Crunchyroll is bad for the anime industry.
- Here’s why cosplayer Chaka Cumberbatch is demanding better representation for black girl nerds in geek culture. The best part of this article is the story in the last two paragraphs.

- Nothing beats this 2011 birth announcement baby name. And to think, that kid is now two years old!
- TIL there’s a maid cafe in New York City. Has anybody been there?
- How 2013 made anime academic Charles Dunbar love anime again. I’m glad The Eccentric Family was one of the reasons. Welcome back to the fandom, Charles!
