You only thought that you were laying around this weekend with nothing to do and no way to celebrate Anime Month. Microsoft and its Windows Store has altogether different plans for you. The company is giving folks free episodes of Inuyasha, Nur, Naruto, Gargantia and more in celebration.
As of right now, anyone with access to the Windows Store can pick up the first three episodes of K, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Death Note, Blood Lad, Naruto Shippuden, Naruto, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Inuyasha and Tiger & Bunny at no charge. Adding the content to your collection is easy, it only requires a Microsoft Account and access to the Windows Store. Watching the content is more difficult, Microsoft Movies & TV is only available on PCs running Windows 10, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows Phones. The company used to let folks watch video content through a website, but that feature was removed sometime last fall.
To go along with the free television episodes, Microsoft is also celebrating Anime Month with free downloads of Fullmetal Alchemist The Movie and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. There’s even a huge cache of discounts running on entire seasons of anime shows all month.
