The month of May has officially arrived, and Pluto TV wants to celebrate. The free streaming service is commemorating what it calls “Ani-May” with the rollout of a huge selection of anime titles, including on-demand options and several new channels dedicated exclusively to Japanese animation.

Key Details:

  • Fun for days: Pluto has added more than 800 hours of anime programming.
  • Whenever you want it: New on-demand selections include 120+ movies and 50+ series.
  • Going FAST: Several new free streaming channels are headed to Pluto TV as well.

In total, Pluto TV will add more than 800 hours of anime programming in the month of May. The additions will include fan-favorite series, new free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels, and more options designed to make Pluto a first-stop destination for anime fans.

On the on-demand front, Pluto TV will import more than 120 movies, including well-known titles like “Inuyasha: The Final Act” and “Bleach: Hell Verse.” In addition, Pluto will add more than 50 anime TV shows to tempt fans to binge all their favorites for free.

“With this extensive category refresh, we’re deepening Pluto TV’s commitment to the anime community, and its incredibly passionate and engaged fandom,” Pluto SVP Scott Reich said. “Whether a lifelong fan or new to the genre, our expanded Anime category offers something for everyone. This update underscores our dedication to super-serving niche audiences with curated, high-quality, free programming and delivering a streaming experience that truly speaks to the heart of fandoms.”

In addition to a new on-demand anime library, Pluto TV is welcoming free streaming channels dedicated to streaming anime 24 hours per day. The Anime X HIDIVE channel, Pluto Anime Comedy, and Inuyasha channels will come first, to be joined later in the month by Pluto TV Anime Movies and Kids Anime selections.

Throughout the month, Pluto will also spotlight beloved anime franchises like “Sailor Moon,” “Lupin the 3rd,” and “Yu-Gi-Oh!” May will be a great time to be an anime fan, and viewers can stream Pluto TV without a credit card or even an account if they wish.

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a free streaming service backed by Paramount that offers a traditional cable-like channel surfing experience. The service offers hundreds of free round-the-clock channels, including classics like “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” and “The Price is Right.”

Rather than attempting to carry expensive local broadcast affiliates or high-profile live sports leagues, the lineup leans heavily into curated thematic programming. You will find dedicated channels cycling non-stop episodes of many classic TV shows, alongside niche feeds for anime, true crime, classic sitcoms, and live headline news loops from outlets like CBS News. Alongside the live grid, there is also a hefty on-demand vault filled with older Hollywood catalog films, cult classics, and complete archived series.

Because Pluto TV mirrors linear broadcast television, you cannot pause or fast-forward through commercial breaks, nor is there a cloud DVR feature to record airings for later viewing. That said, it’s a great alternative for those looking for a wide range of channels without subscription fees.
