Editor’s Note: I have followed the translations shown in the Wikipedia article for the first two categories.
“Working Cells” was localized in the US as “Cells at Work” an anime about a red blood cell and a white blood cell in a person’s body. It got licensed for international release and is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Some of the other anime have also been licensed for international streaming – is it okay if I post links legal streaming options for those who want to check it out?
CountZeroOr: If they’re legal, sure.
Great!
S.S.S.S Gridman (sequel to both the Japanese Tokusatsu series Gridman and the American adaptation Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad): Available on Crunchyroll (Sub only), and on Funimation (Sub & Dub).
Working Cells – localized in the West as Cells at Work: Crunchyroll
Beatless: Amazon Prime
Hisone and Masotan – Localized as Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan: Netflix Original
Planet With: Crunchyroll
Penguin Highway: This was a movie – which is not yet available for streaming, but that’s okay because it’s getting a roadshow release! Check your local theaters.
