While the list is somewhat light on shoujo anime, *Fruits Basket* stands out as a must-watch. Another gem to consider is *The Apothecary Diaries*, a captivating historical drama with romantic elements. IGN's review of the series lauded the protagonist Maomao for her unique blend of pragmatism and humor. For horror enthusiasts, the *Junji Ito Collection* is a chilling addition, though diving into the original manga is always recommended for a deeper experience.

These series are available to stream for free until the end of May, and some might remain accessible even longer. It’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in some top-tier anime.
