**Yowamushi Pedal** (watched on Crunchyroll) – although I am not a fast/race biker, I enjoyed this series. **Sword Art Online** (Netflix) – I use to be heavy into Everquest, so the MMORPG aspects appeal to me. **Dr. Stone** (Netflix) – just started season 2 – I like the “lets use science” even if difficulties glossed over. My favorite character is probably Chrome. **Delicious in Dungeon** (Netflix) – Senshi rules! At a gaming convention I watched **Kino’s Journey** which I enjoyed. I watched a few episodes on Crunchyroll with ads but then forgot about it. There are other Netflix anime’s which I liked, but the above are the standouts Brian ETA: if your choices available on Netlfix, please indicate so I can add them to my queue ETA2: There was a pretty active anime thread: > [@Seeking Netflix Anime recommendations](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seeking-netflix-anime-recommendations/854685/64): > > Netflix has released the first 12 episodes of a third and final season of Beastars, with 12 more coming in “early 2025”.
