I just finished watching "Armitage III" on Hulu. The original release was in 1995, but quite a bit of it is quite topical even today. Without getting into spoilers, it takes place on Mars, has robots as sexbots (but not explicitly graphical) and has a strong anti-feminist tone. There's a lot more including the evolution of Artificial Intelligence.
Artistically, the style is not my favorite, but the quality of the animation is very high considering when it was done. I was very surprised when I went back to see when it was created and found out it was that old. The subtitles take quite a bit of liberty with the dialog, I don't speak Japanese and even I caught a number of places where "that's not quite what was said".
If you like science fiction and don't have a dislike of anime, I recommend this 4 episode series.
