| Got a series you think should be added to the club list? Post it here. It doesn't have to be 100% unknown, but it should be at least underrated enough to be added to the list. Things to keep in mind before suggesting: The anime should have a fairly low number of user feedback, making for certain that said anime is unknown by most. If the anime is brand new, please hold off on suggesting it for at least a couple of months, just to see how things turn out for it. Both new and older anime titles are welcome, it doesn't matter. However... There is a difference between a series being underrated, than just plain forgotten. In other words, if it is an older series that "was" popular back in it's day, but now forgotten and unwatched by a newer generation. It most likely won't be added to our list, as tons upon tons of anime suffer from this fate as they age. It's preferred that the series have an average user score of 7.0 or lower, unless it's user feedback count is low (see first sentence above). |

| Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu? |
| I think crossgame is kinda underrated there isnot alot of people who watched it I don´t know what do you think also saraiya Goyou looks like is gonna be underrated haibane renmei, moyashimon and also It´s an option hunterxhunter? |
| Cheeky Angel or Tenshi na Konamaiki. |

| Night wizard! I loved it ^^ |
| Mahou no Stage Fancy Lala, or just Fancy Lala for short. It's actually a really good anime woth great character development and heart-warming plotlines, despite the cliched premise. Stats: Score: 7.201 (scored by 793 users) Ranked: #18272 Popularity: #1886 Members: 1,783 Favorites: 12 You could also put Windy Tales on there. It gets overshadowed by Aria, even though I think Windy Tales is superior in pretty much all aspects.(art, sound, characters). Stats: Score: 7.471 (scored by 728 users) Ranked: #11812 Popularity: #1719 Members: 2,218 Favorites: 18 Koi Kaze is somewhat underrated as well, although it's been seen by more people than the other two. I guess the subject matter plays a part in that as well. Stats: Score: 7.551 (scored by 4108 users) Ranked: #9962 Popularity: #725 Members: 8,657 Favorites: 100 Oh, and can we remove Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei now? 8.40 is far from underrated, although it proabably would have been in the high 7s when it was first inducted. |

| @ FOE-tan Many thanks for all the suggestions, they have now been added to our club relations. I am especially looking forward to seeing "Windy Tales". :) As for "Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei". I plan to leave it up for the time being, even though it does have a higher overall rating, considering it's age, it hasn't been scored by all that many users compared to others. Which is another element I take into consideration. If the scores do get higher as well as the member count, let me know though. |

Urufuzu_rein said: Also, it was in subtitle hell for about a year before someone finally completed the English translation for it, which wouldn't have helped with its popularity. I'm not a big fan of this series, but I will let it take its spot here.Mouryou no hako Probably,a lot of people dropped it because of the long tedious talks between the main characters. |

Urufuzu_rein said: Mouryou no hako Probably,a lot of people dropped it because of the long tedious talks between the main characters. Not to mention the slowness of the subbers. I think 3 different subbers worked on this till it was finally finished. It was a great show, really underrated. I would also want to propose: 1. Le chevaliere D'eon [same thing happened as in Box of Goblins, because the show was rather hard to translate the fansubbers left it untranslated when it was airing]. 2. Red Garden [it got licensed in the middle so the subbers stopped subbing + it's really hard to find, but this was translated till the last episode. It's in my top 5 favorites and it has the rating of 7 :( ] 3. Gilgamesh [probably many didn't like the ending, I think it's interesting that the "bad guy" won in the end :D, if you're sick of anime cliche try this one, it's really original]. 4. Tokyo Majin - this is a great action series, but because...again, it was licensed in the middle it was forgotten by the fansubs that didn't want to take the risk to translate it. It happened in that bad period when Death Note couldn't be find anywhere on the internet. Just the fact that all the animes above are licensed in english and enlist other 3 languages from Europe should say something. They are not your average japan "talking about" anime, they are in fact pretty western, maybe that's why some didn't liked them or didn't try them, but if you look carefully they are hidden jewels. I My Me! Strawberry Eggs! Score: 7.111 (scored by 5695 users) Ranked: #20062 Popularity: #609 Members: 9,451 Princess Lover! Score: 7.231 (scored by 9258 users) Ranked: #17112 Popularity: #331 Members: 15,894 Asu no Yoichi! Score: 7.371 (scored by 12698 users) Ranked: #13592 Popularity: #231 Members: 20,612 Probably the most underrated of all these: Macademi Wasshoi! Score: 7.461 (scored by 4005 users) Ranked: #11672 Popularity: #679 Members: 8,214 Some others: Onegai Tecacher, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, Seikirei None of this are underrated. They are lame ecchis that not everyone can enjoy. Underrated means a show that doesn't target a specific gender and it wasn't liked for another reason beside the gender, but it's still great. The anime listed there got a bad score because they had boring similar plot and excessive boobs [read the ecchi part]. I've never given more than a 6 to any of the listed there. And 6 is a generous mark. Welcome to the NHK! is really underrated :C This show is in top 100 best animes and won a lot of awards. Now may I ask, how is this underrated? Just a thing, to be considered underrated it should have a mark enlist below 8, right? |

| A series I haven't finished yet but is sorely underrated for how much I've personally enjoyed it so far Taiyou no Kiba Dagram Score: 7.461 (scored by 63 users) Ranked: #43832 Popularity: #3922 Members: 356 It's a fairly realistic mecha/political series, falling somewhere between Votoms and Legend of the Galactic Heroes in terms of execution. Finding ANY episodes of it for download is monstrously hard though, but xnebula have the entire series up in a torrent right here. It's a pretty old series and the animation shows some times, but it's got some damn fine story telling in there. |

| Senkou no Night Raid Score: 7.041 Ranked: #24172 Popularity: #768 Members: 10,558 Favorites: 23 -it got licensed, yes. But a lot of people called it crap and boring. Srsly, it's one of my fav. anime and it's a good thing that the staff made a risk in using the setting and the topic. No, it's not Japanese revisionist propaganda.

| Underrated Spring 2011 Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san. (TV) Score: 7.621 (scored by 1862 users) Ranked: #9272 Popularity: #1345 Members: 5,267 Favorites: 25 -don't know about the score but I noticed that this show didn't get much discussion from some anime forum that I've visited (like this site and animesuki) Hyouge Mono Score: 6.941 (scored by 461 users) Ranked: #27322 Popularity: #2115 Members: 2,117 Favorites: 1 -this show is known for having problems behind the scenes like the mangaka, distancing himself from the anime producers (reasons unknown) and the break-up of the band who did the 1st OP (one of their member got arrested for weed). Yet, the manga received a Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize Award last year. |

| I have a feeling a lot of the sports anime will be underrated. More so that it's not as interesting to watch as other anime series. It's just one of those genres that's a hit or miss. |
| The following titles are either unknown or negatively received. I have enjoyed them all, though. Just because some of these are comedy, it does not mean they are bad: - Girl's High - Tonagura! (seems perverted, but is actually romantic) - Plastic Little - Akikan! (concept is considered bad, but the story is actually good) - Myself; Yourself - Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (received as a soap opera that is too long) - High School of the Dead (action is forgotten) - Today in Class 5-2 - Sola - Saki (ignored because it focuses on mahjong) - Da Capo - School Days: Valentine Days - School Days: Magical Heart Kokoro-chan - Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (deep) - Limited Girl. (funny story concluded with romance) - Amaenaideyo!! - Amaenaideyo!! Katsu!! - Hatsukoi Limited. - True Tears - Welcome to Pia Carrot!! (passed off as hentai, when it is more) - Sandglass of Summer Colors - Ef - a Tale of Memories/Melodies. (characters' depth is forgotten) - Black Cat |

| I always had the impression Noein was somewhat underrated as well, because it doesn't have mainstream art. Not sure if it meets the requirements for underrated though: Score: 7.901 (scored by 11426 users) Ranked: #5332 Popularity: #415 Members: 24,406 Favorites: 431 In some aspects almost identical to Steins;Gate (even visually), but has higher quality animation and OST (Satelight and Hikaru Nanase). |

| Since underrating is pretty much a subjective term, it's hard to make suggestions; in any case one I truly believe to be tremendously underrated (also either forgotten, or maybe just plain unknown) is: Mysterious Cities of Gold Score: 7.741 (scored by 1518 users) Ranked: #9162 Popularity: #2583 Members: 2,791 Favorites: 24 (my score: 10) Two others I'd like to bring up (without much hope, but...): Starship Operators Score: 7.221 (scored by 2479 users) Ranked: #25622 Popularity: #1794 Members: 6,107 Favorites: 22 (my score: 8) Yugo the Negotiator Score: 7.321 (scored by 1169 users) Ranked: #21102 Popularity: #2490 Members: 3,093 Favorites: 7 (my score: 8) |
| My favorite genres: good Quality, better Quality, best Quality, Über-Quality. Scoring criteria: Existence does not precede Essence. Current status: OFFLINE. Even if not really. I have no Facebook, no Tweeter and no latest fashionable social network. Mail me only if you absolutely must, and I still won't promise to answer: the postman might have been shot by an automated sentry, blown up by a mine, eaten by a shark, or something. |

I feel it would be better than just vaguely looking to see if it "looks" underrated enough, because the word underrated is very subjective. |
