The Castlevania anime is legit, even if you don’t know anything about the game.
I still need to check out the Gamera anime. I’m behind on my TV.

We were holding hands in the car. Went over the train tracks in town. I got a giggle and the look.

I never heard of Night Agent, but this premise sounds very good knowing to the series was well received.
Low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland works in the basement of the White House manning a phone that never rings - until the night it does, propelling him into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office.
This is why Netflix is the king, most of their marquee shows suck but there’s always at least one or two decent word-of-mouth shows that just barely keep you subscribed.

The rub is that there is a finite amount of quality anime in this specific subgenre so calling it “mid” may not be an insult but more of where a person ranks it compared to some of it’s predecessors.
I read the Netflix comment as an afterthought.
A chronological binge watch of all samurai themed anime series could be done in ~ a weekend.
I would be surprised if anything isn’t “mid” compared to Samurai Champloo but I would love to be wrong.
*have not seen Yasuke but the ost is very, very good.

I missed The Gold when it first aired but checked out the first two episodes after hearing The Watch rave about it for at least a couple of episodes.
The premise is that a bunch of thieves went to pull off a big heist and didn’t realize they would be robbing a massive amount of gold. The story is what they do to try to legitimatize that gold without getting caught. A very different kind of heist story while hitting the most delicious beats of the genre.
For what it’s worth, BES hasn’t even sniffed the Netflix Top 10 here in Japan. It may be too Japanized for actual Japanese.

They purposely cast a half japanese half white person for the main role and then the supporting japanese woman’s role went to a thigh actress
