KENGAN ASHURA season 2 part 2
Release Date: Sometime in August
We love a good fighting anime as much as the next person, which is why we're more than excited to stream Kengan Ashura season 2 part 2!
Although we won't be seeing Baki in this new installment, the opponents fought in this sophomore season will be just as formidable as they come. They're strong, agile, and, most importantly, knowledgeable to be able to trick their opponents with sneaky strategies. However, since this is the norm in the world of Kengan Ashura we're definitely going to see some awesome matchups that will blow our minds.
Read more about what you can expect from the official synopsis of Kengan Ashura here.

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos The Movie
Release Date: August 22
Sailor Moon has always had a special place in our hearts for many reasons including (but absolutely not limited to) beautiful character designs, powerful stories about love and friendships, and so much more.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Cosmos The Movie takes all the things we love from the iconic anime and takes it a step further by infusing a dark yet beautiful plot at the center of it all. That dark yet beautiful plot is known as none other than the Goddess of Destruction, the final and greatest blockage in Sailor Moon's mission to save the world.
If you're just as excited as we are, then check out the official trailer for the upcoming Netflix film below!
Rising Impact season 2
Release Date: August 8
If you thought season 1 told a riveting story about a young boy aiming to become one of the top golf players in the world, just wait until you feast your eyes on the sophomore season.
Rising Impact season 2 levels up the game by showcasing even more of Gawain Nanaumi, our protagonist, and his training arc with other talented golfers from all over the world. Specifically, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
What new skills will Gawain learn? Who will he meet? Tune in to find out!
Terminator Zero
Release Date: August 29
Technology is progressing much faster than humanity can keep up with. While we have yet to see any apocalyptic disasters that have come about from Artificial Intelligence, in the world of fiction, it seems that robots taking over has become the norm.
Terminator Zero explores what would happen if we let robots get too advanced to the point where they can plot world domination and successfully erase most of the human race. Fortunately, the human race is unrelenting and will do anything to fix what went wrong — even if that means traveling back in time.
