    never even heard of it - is the detective more reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes or Inspector Gadget? Either is fine with me as long as it's not some boring in between (though Sherlock with a helicopter that comes out of his hat does have a certain appeal )

    To answer that may give too much away. The best advice I can give you is to sit down and watch it. You won't regret it and definitely won't be bored.

    Thought I'd ask the hive mind what is a good animated series I can watch?

    Any genre, but something with a great storyline helps

    I quite like Psycho-Pass. A 2012 anime in a world where brain scans can instantly determine your 'psycho-pass', a report on personality, mental state and criminal tendencies. If your crime coefficient rises too high, you are hunted down and arrested, sometimes with lethal force. This is old school sci- fi. Asking questions and poking holes in utopian/dystopian social systems.

    Yes there is. Looks like it was released just last week on DVD and Blu-Ray (March 11). It's no guaruntee we'll get it in Australia but it's there. edit Wait. I'm an idiot. That's an Australian site so there's a good chance we're getting it.
    I had to look around for a dub trailer that wasn't region locked. Don't be put off by the dubstep they use in the trailer. Funimation likes doing that in their trailers.

    I agree with Tron Uprising. Unfortunate that it was axed after one season.

    I only just discovered Ergo Proxy (I missed it by six years). I've watched one episode but it looks like the kinda thing I'm into.

    Susei No Gargantia where a child soldier and his high tech mech are catapulted through time or space (it's never clarified which) to a primitive, post-apocalyptic Earth. Meets the natives, tries to fit in long enough to find a way home.

    Ghost in the Shell: Arise and Mardock Scramble are pretty good but the release rate is pretty slow on these hour-long episodes.

    And if you don't mind anime with a touch of mayhem I suggest Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Kill La Kill, Space Dandy and Redline.
