I was trolling through Crunchyroll for new anime to watch and I came upon Heroic Age, a space opera genre anime from 2002. Nothing ground breaking, but the artwork looks good to me, has a consistent storyline and I’ve enjoyed watching the first 4 - 5 episodes so far.

    As from me…

    • Banana Fish - Very much exciting, with interesting characters, and it always keeps you at the edge. Definitely 10/10
    • Sonny Boy - This one… was interesting. What drew me to it was… the surreality, and in general, the style.
    • Kaiji - Simply said, both excitement and dread of gambling in various games.
    • Shinsekai Yori - Quality worldbuilding, sci-fi

      Thanks for your suggestions. Banana Fish and Sonny Boy are on my watch someday list.

      Shinsekai Yuri I have already seen and I agree, the world building is very good and the storyline keeps you hooked.

      Kaiji is not on Crunchyroll in my location so I can’t try it out.

    Random! I wonder if anyone has seen House of Five Leaves https://anidb.net/anime/7248. It’s a 12 eps anime with a historical setting. It’s almost slice-of-life kind of slow-paced and the art style might be an acquired taste, but once you get used to it, the story is engaging enough, and the background art and ambiance form a nostalgically beautiful combo.

    What still stands out the most to me after all these years, though, is the soundtrack. It is absolutely wonderful! A fusion of traditional and tango
    Even if you don’t watch it or drop it, the OST deserves a chance!
