Princess Tutu has been an underground hidden gem for years; The only thing that I can think of that prevented the show from reaching the audience it deserved is the fact it's called Princess Tutu. |
It's hardly "hidden", though, as it's a Funimation show now, and shows up on just about every other service where Funi shows have been airing, HuluPlus included.
Which is probably why HiDive has been showing it.

Do they have them for subtitled versions too? I ask because previously on TAN, the few home video versions they provided were only for the dubs. |
Almost everything older than like 2015 is home video version, subbed and dubbed. In fact, you can check each page on the desktop version and it will say either home video, broadcast, or both. There are some exceptions, like how Parasyte is broadcast only, and Akame ga Kill is home video only on the dub.

My memory of Karas is from 12 years ago when it ran on the Encore Network in two "movies".
I remember it being a confusing spectacle. Once again, overblown with CGI (but not really horrible looking for that period) and the plot was just mangled and confusing. I do remember that the second half improved the extra confusing first half slightly.
In any case, My personal opinion is that neither are worth much consideration. Definitely not worth getting your hopes too high for. Both have ANN reviews though... and all rate them higher than I do |
Oh, okay. Thanks for sharing, though. |
If you want MY opinion instead.
Karas is pretty much, Guyver and Batman put together. Admittedly, the first half is a little confusing, but the awesome action more than make up for it with a nice orchestral soundtrack. Its sorta like how Kill Bill vol. 1 was more action based and Kill Bill Vol. 2 was more story based. You get something like this.
Casshern Sins is a slower paced series that deals with death in an apocalyptic world where an enigmatic android must find out who he is and why everyone wants him dead.
Its beautifully haunting and the action scenes are really good.
Both worth a look!

Yeah, I read this right after reading an awful article on FANDOM that listed the "Top 5 Anime for Japanese Language Learners" as Sword Art Online, One Punch Man, Blend S, My Little Monster, and Attack on Titan, so I was very pleased by how deep this list chose to delve into HiDive's back catalogue.

I watched School-Live! on Netflix Philippines. Getting worldwide streaming rights is tricky.

I couldn't recommend Land of the Lustrous enough, it hooked me and I absolutely adored it. I can't wait to buy that big'ol Premium set you know that Sentai will do.

I'd hardly consider Princess Tutu a "hidden" gem. Its merits were well-known and widely-acknowledged about a decade ago.
