Nuff said.

Only series that are ranked below 2,000 in 'Popularity' on MAL.

Anime themed around Yankee, delinquents and Bōsōzoku (youth biker gangs.)..

Welcome to my Obscurity series, which I hope will help you delve deeper into the depths of anime, particularly the classics.

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in 2001 or earlier, with under 35,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 7 or higher.

I'm also not including anything that I've already included on my Good Stuff list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9517

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.

Series featuring one or more characters with the classic 'pompadour' hairstyle. Characters must be named and have voiced lines to be included, no sequels/duplicates. Work in progress.

I am updating these at the beginning of every month.

A mix of 80's & 90's ova series that I have seen.
Some great, some not so much... you be the judge of what's good though.

Includes black or dark-colored sailor uniforms. (serafuku/sailor fuku)

For most series the score is falling over time, however some special series it is rising over time.

This is the list of these series that used to be scored lower on MAL but have been rising in score over the years, excludes currently airing series and series where the score rise happened when the series was airing or within 5 years of its airing.
