Underrated would have to be Speed Grapher and Place Promised: In Our Early Days. Place Promised is probably my second or third favorite movie behind Akira and the Ninja Scroll movie.

@mightykid218 Simoun is one hell of a show, I can agree that it's underrated and certainly underappreciated.

Well, at least Anne of Green Gables floats around fully subbed. On top of that Perrine and the Trapp Family Story are about halfway with their subs. All of course are very underrated.

When you think about it, nothing is overrated, because people themselves can say that something is overrated.

However, since everybody has their opinion, everybody rate particular (in this case) anime going by how they liked it.

So, no one actually has a right to say that something isn't as good as other people think.

For instance, if I rate Death Note with 7/10, and others gave it 9/10, what right do I have to say that DN doesn't deserve such high score?

Doesn't matter. You think it's overrated because it's too gory. Being gory does not make something bad nor does it make something good either.

Truth.

Underrated: Kemonozume, Kaiba, Mind Game, Now and Then, Here and There...

Overrated: 99% of anime. Fandumb is fail.

People who can't grasp the simple symbolism in shows like FLCL (and can only interpret it as random nonsense) should just stay off the internet and go drool in the corner with their crash helmets on.

This sort of stuff really pisses me off. Stories are not good because they have metaphor, symbols and allegory. They aren't good because they make statements about life. They aren't good because they have some sort of meaning other than the one obviously presented. Stories are good because they're entertaining. If the story has reread/rewatch value due to intellectualism, better for it, but it should not be the entire raison d'etre.
[/rant]

Anyway, I'll say that Boogiepop Phantom is underrated. And that Clannad ~AS~, Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen, and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann are overrated.

At least it copies a lot of elements from Air, which should be fairly easy to spot, and from what I've heard, the other titles by the same guys too.

I would say the same about entertainment as well. A story is no where near good if it's only entertaining.
For a story to be good, it needs to be well written, entertainment only play a minor role their. For a series in overall to be good, I'd attribute more weight to entertainment, but then again, if all the other factors weigh heavily enough, it doesn't need to be entertaining.

Of course, there is no denial that it has similarities with Air and Kanon, but the whole point of the After Story (the "real" After Story, to talk without spoilers) isn't something that returns in those two, and it is something that I personally hadn't seen before.

'Entertaining' is so... narrow. Why limit ourselves to that? Why persist as a consumer of entertainment? There's more than entertainment out there, and entertainment sure ain't ontologically privileged. How about disgust, confusion, catharsis, horror (true horror, not shiver-at-a-slasher-flick horror), anger? Or mostly unemotional responses like reevaluing, perspective shifts and recieving an argument? Entertainment is so narrow - I love being entertained, but I think it equally ridiculous to hold that ART IS ENTERTAINMENT as it is to go (as so many art-snobs seem) ENTERTAINMENT IS LESSER ART. There's all kinds, and you can suck or be great at all kinds equally.

And in other points, yeah, story can be good for great use of metaphor, symbology, applicability and whatnot. I see no reason why they couldn't be. They are, however, obviously not necessary, as little as entertainment or indeed anything is.
