•  It’s going to be a beautiful summer. I love checking Crunchyroll’s Summer 2014 lineup and watching it slowly populate with new titles every day.

• There’s no date for it, but I am EXTREMELY excited for Mobile Suit Gundam-san, an anime based on a four-panel comic parody of the same name. I have only seen some of the comic, and maybe now it’ll be available in the U.S.!

• Now that the dust has settled, the Comic Book League Defense Fund tells us: what does Japan’s new child porn law mean for manga and anime fans? Its verdict: just because something’s icky doesn’t mean we should ban it.

• An interesting theory from the Economist: when the government  presents certain aspects of Japanese pop culture as “Cool Japan,” it’s really just making it less cool by, well, associating it with the government.

• Just in time for Sailor Moon Crystal, the Mary Sue presents a ridiculously comprehensive history of Sailor Moon, part two. Here’s part one.

• Habit: a riveting sci-fi short story about girl gamers and the future. HT Ellie. Can anyone recommend a good place to read more original science fiction online?

• If I were going to Anime Expo I’d definitely get a seat at the Masquerade so I could watch The Survey Corps, an Attack on Titan themed hip hop dance crew comprised of professional dancers.
