2019 has already proven to be a great year for anime with the fourth seasons of both Boku No Hero Academia and Haikyuu! as well as the third season of Nanatsu No Taizai lined up for later in the year. Both Winter and Spring 2019 had some incredible anime lined up such as Dororo, Kimetsu No Yaiba and Fruits Basket (2019) – to name a few. Without further ado, here’s a look into what anime are coming to 2019’s Summer Season of Anime!
