The Best Anime on Netflix You Can Watch Right Now

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-25 10:15:04

Original anime and fresh releases have found a home on Netflix, and we think it's one of the best streaming services for anime fans. Its library is surprisingly expansive, covering everything from long-beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop and Naruto to more recent hits like Dandadan. Crunchyroll is exclusively for anime, so it remains our favorite service overall. That being said, it's worth subscribing to Netflix for its anime, too, if you want to cover all your bases. There's so much to watch.

Google’s Newest AI Model Acts like a Satellite to Track Climate Change

wired.com Boone Ashworth 2025-12-25 15:57:44

Google’s newest AI model is going to scour the Earth and, ideally, help it out. That's the plan, anyway. The mission is to find out once and for all, in fine detail, what we are doing to our planet. Crucially, once the model has supposedly done this it will also, apparently, explain where we might be able to best put things in place to help our world.

Men Born in the Summer Are More Likely to Be Depressed, Study Finds

There really might be something to the idea of summertime sadness, at least for boys. A study finds that men born in the summer are more vulnerable to developing depression than men born at other times of the year. Researchers at the Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia, Canada, conducted the study, an international survey of adults. They found that men, but not women, were more likely to experience depression symptoms later in life if their birth occurred in the summer compared

Both should probably give us pause about letting these machines make friends with one another.
