Ani-MAY & MAY-nga
May. 14th, 2026 08:21 pmI know we are halfway through the month, but is anyone else doing anything for ani-MAY or MAY-nga this year? Are they even still things?
I've been challenging myself to watch or rewatch through one disc a day of my anime DVD collection and to reread one volume a day of my physical manga collection.
The anime part is going well. It's given me an excuse to make time to watch some things I haven't in awhile and helping me decide what maybe could leave my collection.
I am very behind on the manga reading, but it has been fun. I actually set out a bunch of volumes to do this with last year and never got it, so it's kinda like a weird Advent calendar, full of nostalgia. There doesn't seem to be any sort of rhyme or reason to why I picked the volumes off the shelf that I did. It's an adventure. (And yes, that means there was a very large stack of manga on my nightstand for a year that I grew blind to. The poor things.)
