| I'm at the point where I've watched/are aware of all shows/movies that interest me already :$... (On my animelist) So, I'd also like to hear your hidden gems because I know opinions on anime can be very subjective. By that I mean mix/underrated shows that venture unconventional settings/plots. Dynamic characters with depth is ++ but it isn't a must. Guess the main point is that this is open to any genres, as it is a joy to venture out of my preference zone, and find a engrossing anime regardless. Thanks a bunch in advance! |
| Gungrave. Awesome characters and story. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Idk about hidden but definitively not popular Kyousou Giga - lovely high fantasy story about family Gin no Saji - city kid runs away to rural town and attends farming school GJ-bu - great harem comedy without the harem bs |
 |
| Gungrave and Kyousougiga definitely seem like gems I've missed, will check them out. Thanks! |

| +Kyousou Giga - I'm watching this and I'm loving Bakemonogatari Paranoia Agent Tatami Galaxy - maybe my fave evur Barakamon - I dont know how someone can hate this show. It's just..... ♥♥♥♥ Shinigami no Ballad - a really short show, not a great character development, but the stories are lovely Ikkitousen - if fan service and ecchi could ruin a show, that's an enormous example. The plot is really interesting, tho ef: A Tale of Memories |
| Try El Cazador de la Bruja. It's about a female bounty hunter and a young witch traveling through South America. The first half is fairly episodic as Nadie and Ellis get to know each other, while the second half starts to delve into the plot and mysteries. |
| Serial Experiments Lain Ghost Hound Paranoia Agent Eccentric Family Texhnolyze Penguindrum slightly popular: Mushishi Natsume Yuujinchou Honey & Clover Baccano u hav good taste Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei popular but good: Welcome to the NHK Steins Gate |

| Donten ni Warau The synopsis turned me off I thought it was gonna be boring After watching this, I cried, 3 fuckin times god...the feels |
| kek |
| @ Eletrophonic I'n actually watching both Tatami Galaxy (unique art/way the story unfolds and the college setting=+++) and Barakamon (the dyanmic between Seishuu and Naru is too adorable for words~) Will check out Paranoia Agent, thanks! @retrogamer32x As long as it's streamable on the internet older anime would be great. (Would be great exposure to diff anime.) @rubylily Will check out Try El Cazador de la Bruja, thanks! @Remv_quevav Guess we have similar taste :). I'm already planning to watch Steins Gate and will check out Ghost hound, Eccentric family, Texhnolyze and, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Thanks for that whole list! @8oomer ohh will check out Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal (have watched Rurouni Kenshin way back.) Definitely intriguied by So Ra No Wo's trailer and synopsis, thanks! @im4eversmart I've actually dropped Donten ni Warau after the first episode but since you say it induces the feels, will give it another chance. (emotional anime is +++!) Thanks! |

| Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e. One of the best sci-fi anime I've seen in a while. It's quite similar to Steins;Gate as far as the time travel aspect is concerned, but on a much bigger scale. The art style can take some time to get used to, though. |
| In the fantasy adventure genre of anime, "Sands of Destruction" is often overlooked. I have not seen the English dub, but since it was done FUNimation relatively recently I'm sure it is of good quality. |

| +tatami galaxy +SEL +texhnolyze |

| +1 paranoia agent +5 tatami galaxy |
xEmptiness said: "if we follow what SW is suggesting, nihilism is the conclusion" |
| @Vhailor Noein's time travel premise is intriuging and, really like how it's supposidly "character-driven"Not concenred about the art, sometimes it's substance>>style :). Thanks! @StevenHu Haven't watched many game adaptions so thanks for the Sands of Destruction rec. Np the original japanese voice acting is always preferable to me. @mr_chang Yes, will finishe watching Tatami galaxy (The Ed song reminded me of how catchy a song it is) and start on SEL+ Texhnolyze in the future. Thanks Have 10+ shows to checks out after I make some freetime. So, thanks a bunch for the recs guys ^^~ |
| +6 Tatami Galaxy It's definitely gotta be Planetes. |

sakurasouxD said: sakursou >Members: 190,083 >Favorites: 7,339 definitely a hidden gem -_- OT: Kemono no Souja Erin Shirobako Canaan Kobato. Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi Ping Ping the Animation and dude! you have so much great stuff on both your on-hold and dropped list. Chihayafuru, Shinsekai Yori, Zetsuen no Tempest, Baccano!, Bakemonogatari, Shingeki no Kyojin and Toradora! are all great watches. |
@Ahrielle01 I loved Natsuyuki Rendezvous and Otona Joshi no Anime Time too XD (As a girl, think I'm wired to like josei animes haha.) Glad someone else liked Zetman, wish they had more episodes to really flesh out the story don't you think? I'm currently watching Shinrei tantei yakumo. Samurai flamenco was a really good watch until the power-ranger like arc. Is the ending decent? Whoa never new Kono Danshi, Hybrid Child, or Switch, existed exicited to check them out, thanks for the diverse and list~ @ retrogamer32x This is like a field of potentional gems! The art style of older anime is oddly refreshing too. Casshern Sins is one of my favs too, watched it 2x. Yay for more people giving the show attention. Ozma, that so neat it's recent but old school, with only 6 episodes, definatly seems worth a watch. Green Legend Ran, the media nowadays doesn't seem to give a lot of thought to enviromental pollution so the theme +++. Angel's Egg, watched it before but will try again to try and understand it's depth. Have a hunch Memories will be epic too. Thanks a bunch for the awesome and detailed list, will carefully look though them~ @Harrymanhunter Watched the trailer for Planetes=Yes! Thanks~ |
| @hhitagi Kemono no Souja Erin=omg yes x10! Haven't tried sports anime, but Ping Pong the Animation looks really unique +Mnemosyne (Only 6eps & he concept immortaility/angels +++) Idk, everyone seems to love those shows! But they don't compell me enough to finish someties+other great shows come along. Guess not enought time haha, am planning to finish most of them though. Thanks~ @AngelShiva Thanks, will carefully go through your list~ |
| http://myanimelist.net/anime/25517/Magic_Kaito_1412 Magic Kaito 1412 - Watched the original, I like Detective Conan, I like Magic Kaito. Pretty nifty. Nice Ops/Eds http://myanimelist.net/anime/19369/Outbreak_Company Outbreak Company - Laughed IRL confirmed. Who wouldn't love fantasy? http://myanimelist.net/anime/20973/Sekai_Seifuku:_Bouryaku_no_Zvezda Sekai Seifuku - I had no idea what was going on at some moments. Appeals to different audiences I guess. http://myanimelist.net/anime/24135/Nobunaga_Concerto Nobunaga Concerto - Different than the norm animation. Pretty cool. Fun Fact! There's also a live drama of this (basically a TV show with real ppl). I'd recommend that over the anime but both are enjoyable. |

This one is truly good, but didn't get much attention. |

| RahXephon isn't that popular (#620 popularity) but is really good IMO. Heavily inspired by NGE but great. Candy Boy (almost #1000 popularity) is a nice, mild, shoujo ai romance. short but good watch. |

| http://myanimelist.net/anime/3974/Tetsuwan_Birdy_Decode and the sequel even more so Have pretty much never heard anyone talk about it, stumbled upon it and really enjoyed it. |
| I came in here to recommend Kyousou Giga, but someone beat me to it dam. That never happens, glad more people are watching it.

I especially recommend Chihayafuru and Seirei no Moribito (you seemed to like the creator's other work Kemono no Souja Erin).and dude! you have so much great stuff on both your on-hold and dropped list. |

| Spice and Wolf is amazing and completely unique compared to any other anime I've watched. I guess some more obscure ones would have to be. Good Luck Girl! Campione! Ghost Stories(english dub) Although these last 3 are comedy series they are still quite enjoyable depending on your kind of humor. |

| Hajime no Ippo, It's an old anime, but I've just found it about two months ago and I love it to death Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka, I thought this was just another generic CGDCT show... but no....this masterpiece has an unparalleled relaxing-effect level Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, I never thought this anime could make me laugh so hard. I usually don't do it when watching anime. |

| Nobunaga Concerto Flag Beyond the Heavens Hyouge Mono Saraiya Goyou Gungrave Zipang Eikoku Koi Monogatari Emma I might elaborate later because I'm typing from mobile. |

| My personal hidden gem is Love Love? At first it looks like typical ecchi anime, but the twist is just brilliant. I don't care if people think it's bad. For me, it's among the best anime. |
| Heres some that I don't see mentioned much. not as popular and so on. At least from my point of view anyway. Though they may not be considred hidden gems but fuck it. A few of these I've only read the manga version for so don't blame me if the anime adaption suck lol Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku Blue Gender Harmonie Terra e... (TV) Nobunaga Concerto 3x3 Eyes +1 Flag And just for the sake of it. I wanna recommend this manga which is just not popular enough. I consider this a hidden gem. Maou: Juvenile Remix |

Bittenfeld said: To tell you my honest feelings, Admiral Müller, as the groom at a wedding ceremony, the Kaiser is simply just a handsome man, I'm afraid to say. But as the supreme fleet admiral who leads entire fleets, he's really a godly person. Don't you think so, too? Müller said: I think he's quite godly as a groom, too. |

| Kaiba- A story about an amnesiac man traveling space in a land where memories can be given, taken, bough, and sold. Very melancholy and poignant. The Eccentric Family- A family of shape shifting tanuki go about their daily lives as they all try to cope with the death of their father. Very quiet but visually beautiful. Hare+Guu- In the jungle a little girl who can eat and spit up anything messes with a little boy. Hilarious and surreal. One Week Friends- A boy tries to befriends a girl who can only retain the memories of her friends for a week. Its really adorable and sweet. |
