I generally don't talk about the anime I'm watching or have just finished running through on these forums but I'm making this an exception.

Wandering Son is a currently airing anime series, adapted from the manga of the same name by Takako Shimura. It's an artsy exploration of gender roles and culture using a middle schooler and his friends, and is far removed from the usual anime fare with no visual reaction jokes or shit like that.

The preview for the series can be found here, the animation and character designs are nonstandard and simply gorgeous, and this is art. Seriously.
