So recently I had an anime watch party and we were browsing anime to watch and I came across Pluto. Admittedly I’m only 2 episodes in but so far it’s SO solid. And I’m just surprised I had never heard of it and it came out 3 years ago. Especially since it’s a reimagining of Astroboy and everyone’s heard of that…

Another one I had surprisingly never heard of but so far seems solid is Level E written by Yoshihiro Togashi. My favorite anime is YYH and I loved HxH so how come I hadn’t heard of Level E until now? Again, only 2 episodes in but seems legitimately good and it’s by a wildly successful creator.

What’s an anime you didn’t expect much of because it seems lesser known, but turns out to be very good? I mean like, not only do u like it but ur surprised the general public - casual anime fans aren’t aware of it.

    This is true, Hidive is terrible. Like I’m not opposed to competition in the streaming market but the Hidive app is incredibly broken.

      Yeah… I’m not a huge fan of Netflix or Crunchyroll but at least they have essential features like “a next episode button that consistently navigates to the next episode” or “a video player that consistently plays videos”. It’s honestly surprising that Hidive is still around.
