| http://myanimelist.net/anime/567/Big_O I was first intrigued by its unique art style, but didn't expect much. Then a few episodes later I was amazed and couldn't stop watching. It's very reminiscent of Batman. I can't talk too much about it without spoiling the whole show, but trust me, it's amazing. So what of you? Do you have a gem that you've watched and very few others seem to know about? |
| Shigofumi I don't think its popular but its thrilling yet heart wrenching.A whole lot of drama packed into 12 epi. (not including OVA) Psychology,murder & a lil moe. Ghost Hunt Actually I'm wondering is this popular or not Anyway this is definately one of the best horror animes I've ever watched.Its creepy, eerie, has great soundeffects & u actually learn more about poltergeists. :) |

| Higashi no Eden Currently at episode 7, this 11 episode short series is one of the best thrillers this year. The story revolves around Takizawa Akira who has lost all his memory and a mysterious phone charged with 8,200,000,000 yen in digital cash. Akira eventually learns that there are 11 other people with similar phone and they are tasked to accomplish a certain task. There will only be 1 survivor in this "game" while the rest will be killed by the supporter. Who is the supporter? Who is behind all this and why? Go watch to find out! |

It has to be something that is very, very rarely talked about. It's airing right now, so there should be quite a number who know about it. |

| Le Chevalier D'Eon! French and Psalms (bible verses) and Sorcery...? The clothes too! :D I can't give a good intro that will do it justice so I guess you all can look it up on MAL! I don't really like the ending though, but yeah this is quite obscure, no? |
| Casshern Sins. A pity no one watched it while it was on okto, including me. |
| Wasn't really able to catch the broadcasts regularly, even though I really wanted to watch those three titles. Well it might be a high-key title, being of Madhouse pedigree and being part of a long-running franchise, but I guess that didn't matter to Singaporean anime viewers who only want their weekly Bleach or something. The demographic is far too small here to be serviceable to Japanese companies, I guess. |
| Then someone put Taiwanese dubbed Bleach on Channel U on weekends or something! I remember 4kids' One Piece aired on Kids Central some time ago, I wonder what became of that. It's funny how even mainstream titles don't seem to get much success/spotlight/priority down here. Yes we have dumb marketing/advertising people down here. I still shudder at recalling Brian Richmond's chilling voice-over for the first few episodes of Skip Beat. Ugh. This thread has been derailed. |

| I remember when Azumanga and Monster were airing on Arts Central on the same day of the week. Best Thursday nights I've ever had. I wonder if Okto will show Cowboy Bebop again at any time? |
| Kara no Kyoukai unless you know the background story from the novel, you probably won't know what's going on. Not to mention that the episodes aren't in order as well. |

| I'd say.. Hatenkou Yuuji Overdrive Sola ..are some of them. Ther are others too, but i'd consider them too well-known, or too recently aired to be worth mentioning. Well technically, those i've mentioned were aired in the 2000s too.. |

AC-CESS said: supremebull said: Haibane Renmei It's an obscure series? It's not as popular as those you see on TV most of the time, but surely it's not obscure, don't you think? Compared to all the other series mentioned in this thread, Haibane Renmei is pretty much one of the more obscure ones. If you like mahjong, watch akagi. The artwork might throw some people off, but the mahjong playing... well, watch it and you'll know. Can't think of any other obscure but good shows right now. And yes, I agree with Michiko. Funnily enough, I don't like Cowbow Bebop though. Don't really see the similarity. |
