August is not exactly the strongest month for anime, and we won’t try to deceive ourselves: this year is no exception.
It’s a slow month, where we follow what was released in July, and the little that happens is some small family release or a popular series trying to take advantage of the available space.
After all, it’s summer vacation. It’s not the best time to premiere anything. But there are a few releases, and we’ll talk about what’s available.
Baki Hanma Season 2 – Part 2
“Baki Hanma” returned to Netflix last July to do what he does best, engaging in epic brawls, with the first part of its second season. Adapting two arcs, “Tale of Pickle” and “The Pickle War Saga,” let’s be honest: they saved the best for this second part.
Adapting the “Father vs. Son” arc, starting from August 24th, we will finally get to see what we’ve been waiting for for a long time: the moment when Baki finally faces off against the most powerful creature in the world, Yujiro Hanma, the man he dishonorably calls his father. An absolute frenzy that we highly recommend not to miss.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh – Part 2
“If there’s one series that quietly, over the years, has become one of those extremely popular animes that may not ring a bell outside otaku circles, it’s The Seven Deadly Sins.
In the second part of “Grudge of Edinburgh,” we can expect exactly what we could imagine from a story in The Seven Deadly Sins universe: a new setting, new allies, new enemies, some intriguing mysteries, and obstacles to overcome as our protagonist, Tristan, son of Meliodas and Elizabeth, learns to master his powers. A treat for avid fans, and it’s surprising how many fans are out there. They’ll have to wait until August 23rd for its release on Netflix.”
Hibike! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest-hen
Hibike! Euphonium is getting a third season in 2024. Considering its second season dates back to 2016, it’s only logical that they want to bridge the gap between the two, as many fans are eager to know more about this series that gained fame partly due to its excellent animation and partly due to its intimate, albeit somewhat deceptive, relationships between the female characters.
This OVA will focus on Kumiko’s character during her third year of high school, where she will be appointed as the leader of the music band. Although there is no specific release date yet, it is expected to premiere sometime in August. Crunchyroll has streamed the previous seasons.
