Although it's not unpopular, I feel like "Monster" should be a lot more popular considering how awesome it is. It is a very serious anime though and doesn't have any gratuitous "sexy" or "gore" scenes, has a slow pace and isn't action-packed, which I feel is the reason for ist relative lack of popularity.

Zettai Shounen
Rocket Girls
Dirty Pair
Sketchbook: Full Color's
Coppelion
Flip Flappers
Escha & Logy no Atelier: Tasogare no Sora no Renkinjutsushi

is the Phoenix anime good? Everyone recommends the manga but I never met someone who has actually tried both. I want to do it but the anime isnt save and im not that into manga...

OT: Mind Game is always the answer, Dead Leaves is another one. Memories should be a classic. Bartender is nice and feel like it should appeal to a bigger audience. The 6th One Piece movie seems unpopular for both its quality and such a franchise.


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

@SpaghettiSpike it's just 13 episodes what can go wrong
and the 80s madhouse movie trilogy

each manga volume is a different story, and the anime covers just part of them
if you like then read the manga for more hi no tori, and most likely also more details in some of the stories

Kaiba is the best anime ever and is also quite unknown, so it's an obvious answer. It redefined what I considered good.

Koi Kaze is under 50K members on MAL, came out 13 years ago without looking dated, and is the only thought-provoking and tasteful anime show with incest as a theme, a theme that is pretty common all things considered. It'd be my ace for such a description. Don't let the just-above-average rating fool you, it's just because it's a heavily polarizing anime for all the right reasons.

Everyone defines unknown or unpopular different. For some it's every show with under 50000 users while for other people it's one with less than 10000 or even 5000.

For me following shows are unpopular and deseve more attention, Cross Game, Shigofumi, Rome no Aoi Sora and Ganbare Kickers

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The fact that these anime are all unpopular is the surest sign that there is no justice in this world.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Like I said, they are not too unpopular but are certainly not popular enough given their standards. Well, maybe you're true but I seriously doubt that since they are hardly ever mentioned or discussed in MAL threads and all.

- closest to a real count of monte Cristo feel adaption

Terra E - probably the best anime on space setting (just don't think of Legend of the galactic heroes)
Bokurano - Just think of evangelion + Madoka anime
