Crunchyroll is arguably the definitive streaming platform when it comes to exclusively watching anime — especially after the streamer bundled Funimation’s content with it.
The catalog currently available is impressive as it is, including for those looking to catch up on new and ongoing series shortly after they air in Japan. But Crunchyroll continues to add more anime series to its backlog. May will see a few mid-middle class classics, and that’s on top of writer Tatsuya Endo’s current hit manga adaptation Spy x family animation studio Wit Studio and CloverWorks.
