North-American Anime Release Schedule: August 2020

A lot of material that debuts in Japan doesn’t leave its borders. So otakus outside Japan are always on the lookout for the release of Blu-ray disks of their favourite anime, digital and print versions of anticipated mangas.

Going through multiple sources and Twitter accounts to know about these releases tends to become tiresome after a while, and you end up missing out on a couple of titles.

We at Epic Dope are here to make it a little easier for you to find everything you’re looking for, in this post.
