- Nick Creamer shares his candid and inevitable descent into idol anime hell.
- Manga and the autistic mind. One author suggests manga as a teaching tool for students on the spectrum, who may be better at processing images than words.
- Speaking of which: Manga is still hugely popular, so why don’t we talk about it more? One possible answer: Westerners still don’t consider manga to be comics.
- A Foolproof Guide to Getting Hyped for Next Season’s Anime. Not that I need this article, after checking out Scamp’s hilarious Fall 2015 season review, I’m more than hyped!
- At the same time I was considering that the Love Live movie review wasn’t written for fans, Serdar wrote about fan entitlement in regards to criticism of the stuff we love.
- I was on the Freelance Game Podcast! Be awed by my surprisingly manly voice and overly honest approach to a freelance routine. I’m already friends with Nathan so it was easier than usual to be candid.
- Nitori is Not Going to Hell For Wanting to Wear a Bra. If, like me, you left the church because you found it to be less than accepting, this Wandering Son piece will restore your faith in humanity.
- Ben and his wife watch anime together and have very different opinions! I love his Watched With My Wife series for his articulate writing and wry tag team review style.
- Anyone can self publish, and my friend Tamara is proof with her new book, Welcome to Monsterville. Now she’s looking for an editor to look it over in exchange for a copy. If you’re learning to be a book editor but not ready to charge yet, this might be a good opportunity.

Love the “Watching With My Wife” series. Now I’m going to be spending plenty of time reading other reviews from them after reading the one on “Yona of the Dawn,” which was my favorite anime of the Spring season.
Ever since you turned me onto The Cart Driver site I’ve always looked forward to Scamp’s preview of each new season as they are informative as well as lots of fun to read.
I have to admit the “Wandering Son” post was, to me, still rather… I guess, underwhelming? Frustrating? Then again, I’m coming at the post as a transgender woman and not someone who is really the intended audience of the site.
I’m going to have to give “Love Live” a shot. I’ll just do what you do when watching it, ship the girls in the show.
I agree with the post on manga. It was a good read.
As usual, the Friday Link Round Up was a good assortment of reading. Thank you.
