It's a new week, which means a new general discussion thread. As the summer season is under way in earnest this week, here is your chance to talk about anything you want anime-related, even if it has nothing to do with the new shows. I have mostly been on vacation this past week, so I am going to live somewhat vicariously through your comments.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

There was a lot of news this past week due to Anime Expo happening. It has been some time since I last went to a major anime convention of any kind (basically since I was in grad school). My local convention (Anime Boston), has grown tons over the years.

When I last went, probably 10 years ago, it was clear that it had pretty much reached the capacity of the convention center they use. However, they continue to cram everybody into that same space every year. If they ever move up to the bigger convention center in town (where PAX East happens) I might give it another shot. Part of why I haven't been back is because it was so crowded that there wasn't anywhere to have any downtime.

Anyway, diversion aside, I haven't been able to watch too much this past week. Largely because I have been on vacation and the hotel internet is truly awful. What I have been able to watch was due to me abusing some local bar/restaurant wifi while having dinner to transfer some files from a server at home to my phone, then transfer those locally to my laptop to watch after my wife is asleep (she goes to be much earlier than I do). It's a mess, but it kinda got the job partially done. I have a newfound appreciation for my fiber connection at home from this trip.
