With the changing social media environment, I thought it would be useful to provide a handy guide to where you can find the Lounge on various social media sites.

Hey, I didn’t make my (in)famous pun this time, so that’s something! Anyhow, three weeks in, it’s the traditional time to check in on this season and see where things are going. Some shows move up, others down…

First Impressions, the 2nd and final part. Well worth reading folks!

I feel so very old, because I remember when we went to the 'net to talk *to* people rather than talking *at* people.
For those interested, this season's premiere thread can be found over on the big blue sky.

It’s that time again! No, it’s not Christmas. That was last week. This week is the long awaited preview of Winter 2025!

It's that time again! Time to see where we stand at the midseason point for Fall 2024.

Mid-season post 90% done, just need the wrapper and screenshots and I'm done. But I'm also out of brain for the day... Expect it on the morrow.
Huh. Turns out that Aizawa-sensei and I share a birthday.
Along with Gordon Ramsey and Sir Edmond Halley (whose comet I did not get to see the last time it came around).
More outstanding music from before most of my mutuals were born... Dire Straits and one of my (many) favorites of theirs.
A classic, give it a listen.

Got reminded of this old favorite thanks to a post on r/japanpics. Thought I'd share.
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a muddy old river
Or reclining Buddha

As predicted, getting caught up and getting out my traditional Week 3 post after getting back from my trip to NC is... not happening in a reasonable time frame.
So, no post before my Mid Season, which is only a couple of weeks away anyhow.
Flu shot *and* COVID booster today... The next 24-48 hours are gonna be interesting. Already feeling like trash.
The intense weekly discussions in the comment section of Mage in a Barrel, @iblessall's anime blog.

(1/n) Time for the Fall 2024 premiers!
First up, Acro Trip. First drop, Acro Trip.
Tedious and weirdly overacted, but *not* in a good way. And the designs we just... off. Couldn't decide if it wanted to be serious or comedic or what.
(8/n) Fall 2024 premieres: Ranma 1/2
Despite some confusing animation choices, it remained solidly committed to being only a somewhat updated anime from the 90's. Not sure if it's my bag or not, but I'll give it a few episodes.
