| As near as I can tell, "underrated anime" is anything that no one within your own hearing is currently raving about. Shingeki no Kyojin? Come on! That one is the hottest new show currently running. Everything mentioned so far in this thread was very popular and mainstream at the time. None of it is actually underrated. It isn't just a problem in this club. Since most people here at MAL have only been watching anime for a few years most shows older than that become "obscure" because few people talk about them anymore. God nose, there is a lot of anime out there. Japan is every bit a prolific as Hollywood. There are dozens of new shows every season and this has been going on since the '50s. Nobody can watch it all and still have something resembling a life. [/rant] Sorry. Hope I didn't step on too many toes there. Let me make it up to you by making a short list of anime that was genuinely underrated - good stuff that never did get much attention: Bartender Chuuka Ichiban! Dennou Coil Eve no Jikan (Movie) Flag Freedom Gallery Fake Hanada Shounen-shi Hen Zemi Hipira-kun Well, maybe not so short. That takes us through 'H'. I could talk about any of them but this post is already too long. If you have questions just ask. |

| Chrono Crusade and narue no sekai are both crazy good and both underated |
 |
| You're right about Chrono Crusde, ReKLeZZ. I don't know Narue no Sekai, but rou're probably right about that one, too. I want to know why you say so. What did you like about them and why should others see them? |

| I would recommend Blood-C. Most people dropped it very early cause they thought it would simply be another "monster of the week" or something like that. If they only knew... :P Saikano is one of my favorite dramas and I have NEVER seen it being suggested. |

If they only knew... :P Saikano is one of my favorite dramas and I have NEVER seen it being suggested. I'd like to recommend Blood-C too, but what happened later in the series wasn't quite enough to offset the ridiculousness and boredom I endured during the majority of the first half. Although the sequel movie was a treat for the eyes, it didn't help the cause either. |
| Definately, TL. All you One Piece fans should love Reborn. |

| Actually, it's Magi season 3 this Fall, DarcO, and I'm very much looking forward to it. Edit: You were right, it is season 2 this Fall. Season one just took two seasons to air with a gap in in the middle. |

| Other than they are both good, Magi and Reborn are very different anime. There isn't a lot of point in comparing them. Magi is an exotic fantasy story loosley (very loosley) based on the Arabian Nights stories and Reborn is a very silly comedy involving the Italian mafia. |

| I'd personally think the anime "Denpa Teki Na Kanojo" (http://myanimelist.net/anime/5177/Denpa_Teki_na_Kanojo) is rather under appreciated. It's a very mature themed mystery, supernatural-esque, and psychological anime, though only being an OVA and only having two episodes, I was rather thrilled and engaged the entire time. |
 |
| @Xivenr Yeah. That one was pretty good. I kind of forgot what happened, but I can say that the main girl left quite the impression on me. That one's pretty heavy with the psychological themes. |
| It's that psychologically heavy that all you remember is what it wants you to remember, and glad you share the same appreciation. Another one I think is under appreciated is Tasagore Otome X Amnesia (Dusk Maiden of Amnesia) not as psychologically disturbing though still presents that element, though this one presents a more unique element in the romance department along with the supernatural, |
| |
| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! ^ This :p underrated and not very popular contrary to belief. |
| ^^Is that so? Well I've seen it and I'd say it really is rather a good anime though in my perspective it started falling out when they grew up but I still liked it overall and perhaps it is under appreciated as you say but I appreciate it so no it's more appreciated now |
| |

Your statement made every anime ever made appreciated because I am sure the creators of every anime appreciated their creation. But I do see your point vaguely. hehe |
| Right... |
| |
| Denpa Teki na Kanojo looks good, Xivenr. I'm getting it now. If you like psychological dramas, Monster is tough to beat. I may be a bit intimadating at 74 episodes and it does drag a bit in spots, but it will lead you along and keep you on the edge of your seat. I always say Hitchcock would have been proud to put his name on it. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! was a load of fun, Etyo. It isn't possinle to take the Japanese meme of "believe in yourself" to greater extermes. =0D |

| |
| Monster was a strange release, too. The Sci-Fi channel showed the entire thing dubbed, but only the first 15 episodes were ever released on dvd. Not hard to figure out why. They wanted $50 for those 15 episodes. I didn't buy it until recently at a much better price - still a little steep knowing that I'll never get the rest of them. |

| Well not to be a pirate or bad influencial person but you could always make your own dvd's from online. |
| |
| I already have to fansubs...come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the dubs, too, but my tv and monitor are one and the same so, in my case, there is no need to burn them into dvds. I bought the 15 because I could and I like to support the industry when I can. |

I tend to disagree it can be enjoyed by anyone this was one of my first anime that I ever watched and I gave it a 10/10 I have re watched it a couple of times over the years and I still enjoy it. If you have the enjoyment for it you will enjoy it. Give Welcome to the NHK a go! |
| I saw bartender ,... an anime that had caught my eye did not watch it yet , but seeing it here in one of the list , it should be oke ! for me I like to recommend an underratted anime aswell and it is called,,,,, Speed grapher ! http://myanimelist.net/anime/198/Speed_Grapher check it out !! and red Garden :) not yet started it but seems like one I would like http://myanimelist.net/anime/1601/Red_Garden and Kaze no stigma ! http://myanimelist.net/anime/1691/Kaze_no_Stigma |
 |
| What a coincidence I was just thinking that Kaze no Stigma might be considered Unappreciated. Thanks for recommending some anime, I might look into Speed grapher. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| A lot to comment on here. Etyo said: I didn't mean that there is anything wrong with Welcome to the NHK. I really liked it too. I'm mildly surprised you sw it as your first anime and you're still here. I was just warning people not to show it to wogs. They'll just look at you funny and back away slowly. =0DGrinfilledCelt said: That's a real good one, KK, but I think it's more for hard-core fans.

If you have the enjoyment for it you will enjoy it. Give Welcome to the NHK a go! I believe Speed Grapher was the first series I watched fansubbed without knowing anything about it before hand. I remember it fondly. Red Garden was very good. It took me several episodes before I decided that I liked it and I'm glad I did. Kaze no Stigma has been on my watch list for a long time. Bartender is different. It's very good if you can swallow the idea that just the right booze mixed just the right way can solve people's problems. =0D |

| Welcome to the NHK is great, it pretty much presents a lot of elements you wouldn't expect a anime like that would have, Also Kaze no Stigma is just plain AWESOME, too bad the creator died |
| |
| yes I ag ree I saw Welcome to the NHK in almost one go (2 days ) it got to me because I could relate in some way ...(that might not be a real good thing) It has a more 20s aproach the guy was a smoker and otaku and believed in conspiracies ...it had to much relatable stuff for me not to watch , it was awesome and a recommendation for those in there 20s who have been watching anime some time , thus good and underatted ! I am now watching Gilgamesh if someone has a review or opinion ready on this one please assist i am now watching the 6st episode ! |
|
| hooo I got an other one ! Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san. http://myanimelist.net/anime/7762/Yondemasu_yo_Azazel-san. It is a dark comedy anime where you follow a demon summoning detective, his assistant, and their demons ! it will make you cry whilst laughing ! good luck ! Night Head Genesis ...(long been one of my favorite finds but highly underrated (6,96) ) http://myanimelist.net/anime/1243/Night_Head_Genesis it deserves an 8 story is well done as is the plot tho It sometimes might be a shitty interaction between the brothers (main protagonists ) bu tthe short stories are awesome *introduction of the characters ,as is the build to the plot and the end is also amazing ! |
AbolicAug 23, 2013 8:51 AM
|
| Yondemasu looks good. I'll get that one. I saw Night Head Genesis*. It was really good at first and then it just didn't go anywhere. At least that's the way I remember it. It's been long time. * Another one I had neglected to add to my list. |

| well, I was going to recommend only a few but I ended up creating a bit of a list... a few of them are edging towards the more popular side, but some of them are truly underrated.. of course if you like these depends on your tastes, but there are a few different genres here. http://myanimelist.net/anime/10918/Kowarekake_no_Orgel_%28Movie%29 <-- Very good for a movie http://myanimelist.net/anime/817/Tactical_Roar <-- for some reason has quite a low score, but I really liked it... http://myanimelist.net/anime/570/Jin-Roh:_The_Wolf_Brigade <-- this might fall udner the category of "classic" but I dont think many have actually heard of it http://myanimelist.net/anime/357/Bokusatsu_Tenshi_Dokuro-chan <-- funny, funy stuff http://myanimelist.net/anime/1079/Armitage_III <-- One of the first anime I watched was the first movie of this series, especially loved the ending, but anyways, the series is just as good. http://myanimelist.net/anime/1699/Romeo_x_Juliet <-- again maybe on the more popular side but much more popular anime have been put down in this topic already.. http://myanimelist.net/anime/856/Utawarerumono <-- one of my favorite outright. VN is ever better. Just watch it. Now http://myanimelist.net/anime/290/Seikai_no_Monshou <-- This, along with Banner of the Stars I, II, and III, is really one of the best space combat/romance combination anime ive had the pleasure of watching. http://myanimelist.net/anime/483/Kurau_Phantom_Memory <-- surprisingly a very very good anime. Great story http://myanimelist.net/anime/4177/Bounen_no_Xamdou <-- havent heard too much about it, at least recently since its been out for a while, but a very good anime http://myanimelist.net/anime/58/Blue_Gender <-- great great anime. Think Starship Troopers! http://myanimelist.net/anime/1022/Generator_Gawl <-- similar to S-cry-ed if you've ever seen it http://myanimelist.net/anime/1230/Innocent_Venus <-- passed upon a lot of the time. Very good anime http://myanimelist.net/anime/3407/Blassreiter <-- ive heard quite a few people dont like it, but I do, so im recommending it. http://myanimelist.net/anime/11837/Zetman <-- a more recent airing anime. Badass protagonist http://myanimelist.net/anime/207/Lodoss-tou_Senki <-- This is a classic, and deserves every bit to be called one. A bit older so it is often passed up. http://myanimelist.net/anime/266/Gunparade_March:_Arata_Naru_Kougunka <-- surprising brutal.. which really makes it that much more interesting http://myanimelist.net/anime/782/Gasaraki <-- The standard for realistic and feasible mechs. These are not Gundam style, which makes this anime all the better and a more interesting watch IMO. |
| That's quite a list, Tsuki, with links, too. Quite a bit there I haven't seen. I'll have to look harder at it later. It's good to have someone around that isn't afraid to look at the old stuff. |

| Out of all listed, I've only seen about two , Zetman and the one too long to list |
