My goodness this month is a vertible feast! The streaming list is most impressive what with the new season, but really there are few shows left that aren’t being simulcast.
Holy Moly. You would think it was summertime with an announcement schedule like that. But the new anime season teamed up with the NYCC to make this list huge. As always some really offbeat Discotek releases. They are the prime example of “expect the unexpected.” If nothing else this probably means I won’t have to bust my bum as much as there will probably bit a bit of a lull next month.
