Netflix is one that likes to constantly bestow its citizens with new and exciting content every month. As the number of streamers increases, the streaming platform, in order to maintain its position on top, experiments with a diverse range of content, not just in terms of genre but also language. And it has found the weapon that makes it a cut above the rest in Anime. Following the pandemic, the streamer has maintained a five-star rating when it comes to its anime catalog as it constantly adds not only fan-favorite animes but also invests in churning out new animes. Especially for the upcoming month of May.

Netflix seems to have gone all out with Anime for May. The streamer announced on its Twitter through a YouTube video the list of animes that are getting added to the category in the upcoming month. While the lineup has predicted shows such as Demon Slayer and Ultraman, there are also plenty of surprises.

If there is a streamer that genuinely cares about animation and keeping its magic alive, it is Netflix. It helped bring to life the Oscar winning Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinnochio and has a variety of other spellbinding animations under its belt. However, in recent years, the animation category of Netflix has been largely taken over by animes. And looking at how it plans to add more in May, looks like the streamer or its fans do not have any qualms about it. One of the most awaited releases in May is Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc, which will be listed as Season 3 on Netflix.

ULTRAMAN fans will also be able to witness the final season of the magical action anime. However, there will be plenty of other additions to help fill the void left by Shin Hayata and his Shinjirou.
