We’ve got a pretty patriotic season of upcoming anime on our hands next month. It seems like the go-to date for anime premieres in the summer 2020 anime season is July 4th, with The Misfit of Demon King Academy already set to debut on that day. Now, as more and more upcoming anime and premieres of series that were postponed due to COVID-19 get their broadcast dates confirmed, it’s clear that July 4th won’t just be about watching fireworks and eating burgers this year.
