Not a ton of stuff caught my attention this month. That being said, there were still plenty of new announcements from Japan! And with summer con season over it isn’t surprising to hear license news dip a bit. But of course we can expect next month to have plenty of streaming news with the new season about to start.

After the last two months that have been a flurry of announcements due to convention season August seems down right tranquil. Everyone but Discotek and Digital Manga Publishing seem to be taking a breather and working on all the things they just announced. But don’t worry. The falls season starts soon enough and that means more announcements indeed.
