Heyo all!
Sorry about the inactivity. Some personal stuff going on at the moment. Unfortunately there is no member of the month for August, but it will resume in September. Randomization from previous nominations will be considered for the September choice.
Here are some interesting anime to look forward this fall. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to watch all the (new and old) anime that I had planned, but I'd like to hear if you got around to that! If so, what anime(s) did you watch this summer (or still are planning to?). Post in the comments!
