As the title suggest, what animes that has score lower than 8 on mal do you think are underrated.

My picks are

Hourou Musuko: one of the best slice of life I've seen, the characters feel unique and the relationships are unpredictable and very intriguing.

Birdy the Might decode 2: Really compelling action show, that has great character development and intense action.

^Pretty much this.

After checking, EVA: 3.0 and Gunbuster2/Diebuster are the only anime I've seen on my list that qualify apparently. They are both below an 8 but just barely by MAL standards and I gave them an 9/8 respectively.

FINALLY, someone who noticed Birdy decode's beauty. As far as Birdy season 2 goes I think it deserves at least an 8.
As for my own that I think should be an 8 or higher,
-Kyoukai senjou no Horizon(both seasons), maybe it was just me but I thought these deserved a higher score than they got.

RahXephon, Now and Then, Here and There, and goddamn Texhnolyze. To be fair, Texhnolyze does have very niche appeal but it is still great. Now and then is way more emotional and powerful than most stuff in the top 100.

Definitely naruto. I don't see why fairy tail and sao have a higher score than naruto and shippuden.
My top anime quotes
1. I AM JUSTICE!- l/light (Death Note)
2. IT'S OVER 9000!!!!- Vegeta (dbz)
3. Almighty Push!/ Shinra Tensei!- Pain (Naruto Shippuden)
4. We stand in awe before that which cannot be seen- Rukia (Bleach)
5. I'll take a potato chip.....AND EAT IT!!!!!- Light (Death Note)
6. Art is an explosion - Deidara (Naruto)
7. Shut the fuck up Kakazu - Hidan (Naruto)
8. Bulma, you've lost your balls- Goku (dragonball)
9. "Don't call me small! I'll break off your feet and stick em on your head!"- Edward Elric (fmab)

Quoted for mega truth -- though I haven't watched Technolyze (maybe I will now that you're lumping it with those other shows)

My thoughts are Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu or Legend of Legendary heroes.

But that got so close to 8 it probably doesn't count.
But that's just one opinion.

Sora no Woto was gorgeous and I can't understand why everybody thinks it's just K-ON in the military. B Gata H Kei was hilarious, yeah it's a stupid ecchi but there are dozens of other stupid ecchi with way higher scores. Gunslinger Girl isn't even in the top 1000 either.

From an objective point of view they're mediocre.

Murder Princess. I ain't saying it should be over 8.0 on here but 7.23 is crazy low. Same with Gantz.

The first Pokemon movie should be over 8.0, it's fucking awesome.

Everything below 8 is below Mirai Nikki. I hope that answers your question

Yep, i can agree to 2 of those, still havent seen texhonolyze but im pretty sure ill love it when i do watch it, those other 2 are freaking masterpieces though and the score sure as shit does not reflect that. Also gundam 080 war in the pocket needs a better score.

its not that these things have a low score nor to devalue a 7 score being good, but these shows do things that separate it from the grain whilst making hard hitting and powerful storylines that set them leagues above most others, their score are really low in regards to their quality

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
