New Monday, new week, new season of anime. It’s time for fresh beginnings! The very first summer shows have already aired, but the bulk of them are starting over the course of this week. Also happening this week, where I am from, it is a holiday (July 4th in the US). So, if you are like me and will be out on the beach a lot this week, then here’s to us, enjoying an irl beach episode.
In any case, please use this thread for all your anime discussion needs. I want to hear what your thoughts on the new batch of shows are. Thanks in advance for letting me know what to watch vs. skip when I get back from vacation!

As I am catching up on news from Anime Expo while also on vacation, I happened to notice this reddit thread about season 2 of Chained Soldier changing studios to Passione. I can’t find any confirmation on a news site, but thought it was interesting. A common refrain from the discussion threads with @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz in this community for season 1 was how lackluster the production was.
Passione has a history of ecchi series including titles such as “Interspecies Reviewers” and “Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World.” Hopefully they can bring their expertise to bear in order to spice up the adaptation going forward.
