The Orbital Children
(Story: In the year 2045, Internet and artificial intelligence have become widespread in the outer space. Following a massive accident at a space station, a group of children are left behind. Using narrowband and SNS, low intelligence AI, and smartphone-controlled drones, they overcome numerous crises.)
(Genre: Adventure, Sci-fi)
(Released 2022; 6 episodes; ONA; TV-14)
(Notes: This was one of those Netflix Originals that no one really brings up. It had mixed reviews but i think it was nice. And it's super short so a viewing isn't gonna hurt anyone. It definitely isn't perfect but i love the animation and art direction and i personally think the cast is very likeable. The story isn't overly complicated and it doesn't need to be. It's simple and a nice time passer. Despite its flaws, I'd recommend taking a look at it. I feel like it was kinda forgotten. It isn't the best but i think it's fun.) Read Note

The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace (Flashing Colors Warning and also MASSIVE trigger warnings with this show; it gets dark. Like SUPER dark. Please, I'm warning you now)
(Story: About 800 years ago, monstrous demons attacked and threatened mankind's existence; while at risk of being extinct, all the humans began praying to their respective gods, hoping for someone or something to save every one from the brink of destruction. With their prayers answered, a race of deities called the "Idaten" were created; by using their utmost endurance and powerful god-like abilities the Idaten managed to defeat the demons, saving humanity and bringing peace to the entire world. Now in the present time, the newer generation of the Idaten know little about the demons since they've all lived peaceful lives. Training under Rin, the only remaining original Idaten from 800 years ago, the new Idaten find ways to survive in a time where they have seemingly outlived their usefulness. Suddenly, when the tyrannical Zoble Empire resurrects a demon, the misfit warriors are called to the battlefield against their natural enemy once more.)
(Genre: Dark Fantasy, Adventure, Action)
(Released 2021; 11 episodes; TV-MA)
(Notes: How'd y'all sleep on this show- Now this one has uh lots of fanservice but i like the unique art and the animation is great. I think it's entertaining. And yes, the anime studio behind this one is MAPPA as well. Yep. The same animation studio behind anime works including Yuri!!! on Ice, Kakegurui, Banana Fish, Zombie Land Saga, Dororo (in co-production with Tezuka Productions), Dorohedoro, The God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Vinland Saga Season 2, and Chainsaw Man. And the OP and ED of this one are bops too. Also warning you: the villains are irredemably gross like... Hisoka and Redo of Healer level gross if you catch my drift. Please dont check this out if it's too much. I wouldn't want to blindside anyone with this) Read Note
