HBO Max has been busy since its debut, and the streaming service is catering to anime fans with each change it makes. Ever since the platform launched, fans have had access to top anime through Crunchyroll along with most of Studio Ghibli’s library. And with August getting ready to roll in, fans can prepare to watch even more anime on HBO Max thanks to some newly announced additions.
Recently, Crunchyroll confirmed a slew of new series would be joining HBO Max starting in August. A total of five anime are joining the streaming service on August 4, and they range from classics like Inuyasha to genre-bending hits such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
