I will admit that I haven't been actively exploring many other Anime's outside of those done by Tezuka. However there are a few that I've watched on various streaming services and on youtube.

A while back I ran through the entire 'Monster' series, which was created by the same artist that brought us 'Pluto'. I've also watched 'Space Battleship Yamato, and (sic) 'Power Puff Girls Z'.

Now I've just run across another series that features robots, 'Fooly Cooly', up on Hulu. (It says you need to join to watch it, but I was able to stream it by suffering through the commericals).

So what Anime's are you guys watching?

I'm currently watching two anime at the moment: Dragon Ball Super and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal: Season III. Both are pretty good so far. I'm thinking about starting Log Horizon or Trigun soon as well; haven't decided on that yet.

Monster is an excellent anime. I watched through it on the Sci-Fi channel back in 2009. My only complaint about it is that click for spoilerI wasn't satisfied with the ambiguous ending, where the hospital bed is left vacant. Otherwise, it's definitely a memorable series.

Fooly Cooly is great as well. I watched through that a month or two ago for the first time and loved it. Very wacky series with a great soundtrack.

I've tried watching a few anime this season but I'm not really hooked on any yet. I've watched eps of Boku no Hero Academia, Sakamoto desu ga?,and Ace Attorney.

I've been watching the Hunter x Hunter dub too. They're doing a pretty good job and it's nice to rewatch my favorite series again :)

Tho not on currently, I recently watched the first season of Kimi ni Todoke. It was cute! I have to get around to watching the second season soon.

I'm currently watching the Death Note anime that my friend has recommended me to. Reminds me of BBC Sherlock, there's a lot of mind play and geniusness going on.

I used to watch Detective Conan, but the filler episodes got tiring to catch up with and I've settled for searching up the main plot episodes and watching them now and then. This kid has been a first grader for 20 years, what the heck?

And there's the new Pokemon season(XYZ) I've been watching just because I've recently started playing the game(Not XY, I don't have a 3DS. It's Diamond). There's something going on about the main character and one of his pokemon having this fusion/connection thing during intense battles and I guess that's pretty interesting?? It's not Pikachu though, it's kinda strange. Oh, here's another kid who hasn't been aging :/

Oh! I almost forgot to mention, I'm halfway through 1980s AB! It's a tad bit tedious to watch all of them, though. Especially because every newly introduced character seems to end up exploding or melting. It doesn't help that the ending theme is so lighthearted, either.

I just watched episode 6 of Fooly Cooly. I guess it was only intended to be a six episode single season. Rather weird plot, but it did have great background music. I wish "TV-boy" had a larger part in it.

Yep, it's only six episodes. Last month, however, they did announce that two new seasons are in the works:

It will be interesting to see how they continue the story. I hope they bring Canti back.

Oh, this is going to be good. Thank you for sharing, I would not have known otherwise. I also hope Canti will be in the new seasons.

I have not actively seen any new anime in a long, long time. However I am having a craving for some Casshern Sins since I unpacked all my movies.
