Fans can stream hit shows, buy exclusive merch, and enjoy special releases this May

Crunchyroll, a leading anime streaming site, is treating fans to something special this May. For its Ani-May 2025 celebration, the platform is offering 20 top shows to stream for free for a temporary period.
The free lineup features top titles such as Demon Slayer, Cowboy Bebop, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Solo Leveling. There's a good balance of all-time greats and new releases, suitable for old-time fans and newcomers alike.
One of the best is Solo Leveling, which recently concluded a highly successful second season. The Apothecary Diaries, a sleeper hit from the most recent anime season, is also included. For Demon Slayer enthusiasts, now is the time to get up to speed before the series comes back in September with the first of three concluding films.
Ani-May 2025 is more than just streaming for free, however. There are special edition Blu-rays released too. There's Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a 2023 title and a popular one among fans, and the Steelbook of Satoshi Kon cult hit Paranoia Agent.
Parties also involve brand partnerships and special merchandise. The event is represented in specialty retailers such as Uniqlo across the United States with the introduction of specific anime-themed offerings as part of the celebration.
