Do you have a suggestion for the club relations list? Post it here.

Ideally, a title should have less then 75k members and have an average score of 7 or above. We can fudge here but this will give you an idea of what we are looking for when we mean "hidden."

Thanks! Can't wait for your suggestions.

Thanks I've added them. I'm kind of surprised I didn't already have Uchouten Kazoku on the list already, I really loved that anime. So, good.

I was surprised too; I thought it was actually on the list before I checked. Should I submit the links for the titles for 'Pick August 2016's Hidden Anime Gem' here?

I just finished Harmony, a late 2015 film that I really loved. But opinions are pretty mixed. You're just as justified to call it a near-masterpiece as there is to call it mediocre.

@Fall - I added these also. Harmony still has a rating above 7 so I added it. Enough people thought it was worthwhile.

Utena is a little high but it is also Utena so yeah.

Just finished Adolescence of Utena, and it's amazing. The lack of Nanami was disheartening, though...
We've got the TV Series listed, but not the film (which is significantly less popular):

I added the Utena movie. I didn't add it originally because I didn't want to overwhelm the list with my choices and it if had to pick between the movie and the tv series it was going to be the tv series.

TV Anime - Some of these are really underwatched, and some may not be. Up to everyone else to decide.

Space Brothers
Maison Ikkoku
Cross Game
Tsuritama
Infinite Ryvius
Crest of The Stars (+Banner of the Stars I, II and III)
Now and Then Here and There
Haibane Renmei (Wow, I didn't realize how many people watched this until now. I only recently started hearing more about it)

Cromartie High School (probably a stretch but I'll throw it out there)

Ideally, I go for something with less that 75k members and a rating of 7 or above. If you guys think the stuff I left out should be on the list, let your feelings be known and discuss it.

I'm back again...

Since we have Minky Momo in Bridge Over Dreams, Minky Momo in Station of Your Memories is a logical addition.

Really enjoying Tenshi na Konamaiki so far.

Gunsmith Cats is seriously underwatched and underappreciated.

Cencoroll is one of the ones I liked a lot.

Interestingly enough, Initial D only has 62k members.

Jin-Roh is a great one.

I personally enjoyed Murder Princess a lot.

Omoide no Marnie, the most recent Ghibli film, hasn't got nearly the attention it deserves.

Otaku no Video by Gainax is a great half-mockumentary and decent half-otaku subculture drama.

Robotica*Robotics is quite an odd one, but it's quite short at only 10 minutes.

And I'll probably be back next month with a few more, since I love watching the more obscure stuff.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/24765/Gakkougurashi Note I suggest not reading the genres or summary of Gakkou-Gurashi, spoilers everywhere

They aren't the most amazing anime ever, just something quick to watch, really. Although Gakkou-Gurashi definitely needs a second season.

I added Flip Flappers. Gakkougurashi has a bit to many members to count as a hidden gem.

This was one of the best horror anime I've ever watched!
It's a hidden gem for sure.

This are some of my favorite series (except for Lil' spider which I despise but for personal reasons) that I consider "hidden gems" (not a lot of people talking about them, scored barely over 7, low in the ranking and usually less than 80k completed.) I believe they are not on the relations list.

Mostly comedy except for Joker Game and Wasurenagumo.

Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (hidden gem of it season, comedy gold)

Joker Game (it has 77k completed but I still think it's not as well known as It should be)

Machikado Mazoku

Sabagebu!

Wasurenagumo (this movie validated my fear of spiders)

Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san

Akkun to kanojo (I seriously don't know why this got such a low rating, I think it's good enough to be consider a gem -well it in my top 10 fave so I might be bias lol hopefully you guys will think so too xD)


I'm so sorry but I'm on mobile so adding the links is basically impossible 🙏🙏

Andersen Douwa: Ningyohime (Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, 1975)
Faithful adaption of Andersen's fairy tale, which means it's sad and hasn't a happy end. Animation style is rather simple, but the story telling is fantastic. Disney's "Arielle" copied many scenes and character designs. A true forgotten masterpiece. (7/10)

It's available on youtube in several uploads and languages. I'd recommend this for inclusion into club relations, as it is a highly influential anime - Disney's Arielle heavily draws from it. See: https://youtu.be/azwNOFv8pys

Hi, I didn't find information on how old a suggestion should be to be considered. So I'm posting this one here:

Aiyou de Mishi has finished airing now and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere with its members anymore (currently at 11.400) and it's really not a bad show
