Like a French, German or Russian “Star Trek” or “Battlestar Galactica” sort of thing? Anything like this?
Well plenty of Japanese Anime, like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell stand alone complex. But you probably allready knew about them.
Just to agree with Bibby, I started watching anime because it was the only place for decent science fiction and fantasy television shows for the longest time. You’ve got the full gambit from hard SF to space opera to cyberpunk.
