Tatakae!! Iczer-1

Debuted in SRW W - SRW L

Animes with body horror and are gore.

Thanks to the user eblf2013 for collaborating.

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in 2001 or earlier, with under 25,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 6 or higher.

A rating of 6 counts for this second Obscurities list given the increased obscurity. A 6 is still an alright score. I've excluded anything that's particularly well-known, like Speed Racer or Voltron, despite both meeting my criteria.

It is perhaps worth noting that I rate things entirely on gut feeling. It's just, "I like that, that was good, it gets a 7.", that's the whole process. I can also find enjoyment in just about anything and there's very little that bothers me.

These are the anime that appear in Super Robot Wars L for DS.
My bias for the original manga version of Linebarrel of Iron may or may not pop up during this stack.

Do you like watching trashy 80/90s OVAs and movies that are violent, stupid, and nonsensical? Well this list is for you. Some of these are pretty famous in the community like Violence Jack and M.D. Geist, but I made sure to really dumpster dive for some obscure trash for all of you garbage connoisseurs out there.

For those of ya’ll who like old shows.

Keep in mind that what qualifies as “having a lot of yuri” in the old days was different than it is now. When adding these titles to my list, I kept in mind the time period they came out in.

You think you’ve seen it all? Think again.

These are yuri which, according to MAL, haven’t been watched by a lot of people.

Before the likes of Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon conquering the kids in the west, it was actually Akira that opened the door and made people realize that the cartoons coming from Japan weren't what you would expect from Disney or your TV channels.
A huge flood of VHS tapes came showing animations with mature themes, absurd plots, and enough graphic sex and violence to make parents freak out... what a glorious time!
They don't make cartoons like this anymore.

This is a comprehensive list with stuff from very good to very trashy, but all in the same spirit.
Some early 00's also included.

ps: I also recommend, but can't include here, the second Violence Jack movie, A Kite and Mezzo Forte.

Glorious 80's and 90's (Supernatural, Mystery and Horror)

Anime featured in the Anime Vision Video Magazine, which was released on VHD videodisc throughout the mid 80s.

Anime Vision featured upcoming and current animation, usually OVAs, as well as alot of interviews and behind-the-scenes with artists, directors, voice actors and other crew. It was usually presented with skits and a relaxed pace, and is well-worth a watch if you can track them down. There are also some original pack-in shorts, seemingly cancelled series and even 80s fanart which you can't find anywhere else!


Currently up to end of issue 2 as that's all I've been able to find. There were a total of 20 issues.

“Part of they yuri?” indicates whether or not the character is either in a yuri relationship or has a yuri-related crush, infatuation, and/or sexual attraction.

Short form anime series on this site can often be underappreciated. In the same way poetry is radically different from fiction novels, which are radically different from screenplays and so forth, I view shorter series, typically OVAs, in the same way. Too frequently they're compared to TV series, and there will be many comparative allusions roughly paraphrasing, "You can't expect much from the story/characters because of how short it is", or other similar comments. The value of the efficacy of the presentation in both shorter and longer series are for the most part incomparable to each other. They both strive to do very different things through very different means despite the shared medium of "anime". Of course, what constitutes the differences or goals of a creator is quite vast, but the point is that from my personal view, because the context of the existence of shows that would either be shorter in length or longer are so different and require much different means for communicating the information that they present, I think they should be judged by different standards. How a person judges them is up to themselves, but I do believe short series are worthy of the praise that many would only attribute to more lengthy series. What I want to do is give reverence for the fun-sized length series I have come across and enjoyed to some degree.

What constitutes a “short” series is something shorter in length than a standard minimum length TV series, which is 12 episodes in length. The focus is not on the number of episodes, but rather judging roughly the amount of time. So, if there is a series with 24 episodes, but they are only 3 minutes in length, for example, that would constitute a short series.

A list of Action anime, of the guns, fists and violence variety, where you don't have to think too hard nor focus on plot development and character development; if you're looking for outstanding stories these might not be for you.

Trying to give some action to action anime that may be lost to time or just haven't generated an audience, all in the while mixing in some big hitters that you might have missed.

List of anime that contributed to the bishoujo boom (commonly referred to as the lolicon boom) of the late 70s and early 80s, or were made in the wake of it.

I'll be leaving off porn OVAs like Cream Lemon and Lolita Anime as to not restrict this list's visibility, but please do keep in mind the importance of these titles as well.

Mecha anime with darker/psychological themes that were made before Evangelion.
