Gunslinger Girl & Log Horizon are 2 other examples that come to mind.

The trailer & promo material seem to indicate it’s a remake / re-adaptation, and will likely cover material not in the original series. It seems likely that at least part will be a retelling of the older material, since the other traveller and his dog appeared in that.

*Checks if ep 2 was the one I was thinking of*

I backed the kickstarter.

Yeah, the first 2 or so episodes where it just throws everyone at you can be a bit of a struggle to work out what’s going on. Definitely benefits from follow up watches.

You can still pick up UK discs for super cheap if you have a multi-region player.

Mushi-shi maybe?

Some other personal recommendations:

Akihito’s favourite shop

Osomatsu-san

It always amazed me how a studio that could put out Mushi-shi could then do GSG season 2... I’ve since realised that Mushi-shi was probably pretty much down to the director. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Nagahama)

This explains why two of the most popular anime of recent years were about gay figure skating and sextuplets who are terrible people.

Mushi-shi is even mentioned in the article...

Not sure it’s meant to be Brian’s Base.

Just hoping CR will get Eccentric Family 2.

I think it’s potato girl.

Waiting to see the inevitable whales who will try to put carrot lances on as many units as possible.

The original author wrote a new book after the first season aired, so there was more material to adapt, which was fortunate.

No problem.

Some of these will be stretching the point of ‘recent’, since some as approx as old as Gurren Lagann, but you might have missed them.
