Welcome to the Summer Anime 2012 Anthology blog where BigHeart711 and I post video trailer blogs for the new, upcoming anime for the summer. It's not complete yet. I did this early to avoid the glitches with the tables for the last anthology blog, Spring Anime 2012. Due to the glitches, posting 43 trailers' entries and links took 6 hours to do. I'm not making that same mistake.
I apologize for that. Please keep checking this blog. BigHeart711 and I will keep you guys and gals informed about new summer anime trailers.
Please comment if you have free time on these trailer blogs. It means a lot to the community, my teammate, and myself.
