If you haven't watched the 1997 series of Berserk, do yourself a favour and check it out. The most 90's anime ever, from the grunge soundtrack to the ultraviolence. The 2016 reboot is just awful by comparison. Thankfully, the current decade of anime also has plenty of fantastic shows, as surveyed in my first post  (2010 - 2015) and second post  (2014 - 2016) of reviews. This post will highlight my favourites from the 2017 and 2018 anime seasons.

Following up on my previous post , here are some more anime (and other Japanese TV series) from the last 3 years that are worth checking out. Anime has never been easier to access, with online streaming sites like Crunchyroll , Funimation , Daisuki  &  AnimeLab (as well as Netflix, Hulu & YouTube). Many of these sites are subscription based, but some provide limited access to shows supported by advertising. The concept of simulcast and "simuldub," where shows are available within weeks of when they are originally broadcast in Japan, is really exciting.

I've been watching a bunch of anime recently, so I thought I'd collect together some brief impressions on what I've seen. This baker's dozen is very much a mixed bag, so your mileage may vary. At the very least, Steins;Gate and Parasyte are highly recommended. A lot of these series are available to stream online from Crunchyroll or Netflix and are worth checking out.
