Hisui Dream Diary #2

Leave a comment

I don’t regularly remember my dreams or keep any sort of dream journal but I have learned the trick to remembering your dreams is to repeat what happens in the dream to yourself out loud as soon as you wake up.

Convention season craziness leads this to be probably one of the most information packed Line-Ups you will see this year. There are some real surprises in the line up. Everything from old classics getting a new lease on life to unlikely pick ups most people would not have causally guessed. I suppose that is just con season for you.

The Line-Up is a monthly rundown of newly licensed in the U.S., newly streaming in the U.S., and newly announced anime and manga projects.
