Welcome to another installment of the monthly anime roundup, where we give you a detailed list of everything coming out! The summer anime season is wrapping up, so there isn’t much launching in August. Thankfully, that gives us more time to catch up on all the July offerings because the state of the fall anime season is right around the corner. 

Crunchyroll is continuing its July lineup, so it is Netflix you’ll want to tune into for new programs this month. But don’t worry; we will update you on all the anime offerings if anything else releases this month. Now, let’s check out what you should be watching.
