What do you think Underrated Anime that should be More Famous??

I think Monster, Golden Kamuy, and Pandora Hearts should get more popularity, it might be more popular even the story is much more interesting than FMAB.

Space Dandy is one of the greatest anime ever created by one of the best directors in the industry.

It should, at the very least, be on the level of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo

But Monster is insanely popular and Pandora Hearts manga is really popular…

So they don’t really apply…

Do we have the same definition of underrated as great as Monster is, a score of 8.78 and 9.09 is the furthest point from being underrated.

Also 2nd and 3rd season of Golden Kaumy are properly rated and the adaptation of Pandora Hearts is shit.

I don't think so, it's rare to see people talking about Monsters in Instagram and Reddit, and the Pandora Hearts manga is quite popular but not with the anime.

Well it's kind of unfair to compare Monster's popularity based on those social media, considering shounen and action anime seem to be the most popular genres among the general public by far. But among seinen anime and more active anime-watchers, Monster is very popular and highly regarded. And the Pandora Hearts anime is a lot worse compared to the manga, especially with that weird anime-original ending, so the lower anime popularity compared to the manga is understandable. If a proper anime remake was made, Pandora Hearts would definitely blow up.

Anyways, +1 on Yuukoku no Moriarty. It's not underrated, but it definitely deserves more popularity. Shadows House too.

Sigh,I just feel like people don't even know the meaning of underrated.Anyway,if you ask me Iruma kun deserves more recognition.It is very popular in Muse asia and almost every episode gets above a million views but it barely even gets any mentions on Mal.

Well i just think deserve more popularity than now. after watching Monster it should be the Top 10 most popular anime in MAL. but I see Fandom monster is not as big as you talk about. so I think it still counts as underrated. while Pandora Heart I know the anime adaptation is worse I also hope there will be a remake.

Having 689 000 members on MAL is not popular? …
In the circles of real anime fans, Monster is as famous as Citizen Kane is famous amongst film fans.
Cringe-tards on social media don’t count cause they don’t even watch real anime, just kid shit like Dragon Ball, Naruto and Bleach.

And Pandora Hearts anime being worse than the manga means that it doesn’t deserve to be popular. The manga already is, but the anime is better off not being talked about.

I could list off dozens but... I recently finished Ikoku Meiro and it's a shame but it seems to have flown under the radar. Maybe if it had been more popular we'd have gotten a sequel but that's out of the question so many years later.

Nothing like an underrated thread full of people listing popular, highly rated shows.
Like come on... Monster, Ping Pong, Sangatsu, Bakuman, Classroom of the Elite, Houseki no Kuni, I can barely make it through a week on this website without seeing those shows brought up.

It's cool that people enjoy those shows but it's always a bit sad to enter an "underrated" thread only for it to be full of the shows you see mentioned all the time anyway.

Well, I just think it deserves more popularity than. after watching Monster it must be Top 10 most popular anime in MAL. but I see the Monster fandom is not as big as you talk about. 689.000 members for an anime that was released 17 years ago?? well I think it's still considered underrated. while Pandora Hearts I know the anime adaptation is worse I also hope there will be a remake.

Btw you sound like elitist when you say "Cringe-tards on social media don't count cause they don't even watch real anime, just kid shit like Dragon Ball, Naruto and Bleach."

Well, it true.
And yes, I am.

Naruto, DB and Bleach are some of the most popular anime ever created which is sad because they are also some of the worst anime ever created.
It sucks that people usually connect those shows to their knowledge of the word anime, and it makes me cringe hard.

Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken (2020) is extremely underrated in my opinion.

It has amazing animated fights. some examples from youtube

i dont think every anime needs to be popular if it only appeals to a small group of people. thats why shounen is popular because it appeals to everyone for its cool fight scenes and stuff

but i am surprised golden kamuy isnt praised more outside of its score like insta/tiktok for its comedy cuz its really funny

Megalo Box - With the current second season(which is better), more people need to watch it.

Dennou Coil - Hella Underrated imo. It got good characters and very believable futuristic setting with a good story.

"Kaijuu no Kodomo", " Fog Hill of Five Elements" and "RedLine" - Story sure isn't that interesting but worth a watch just for animation alone.

Un-Go - It isn't really the best detective anime, but sure needs more attention.

+1 for "Land of the Lustrous" and "One Outs" - Both are gems many people need to check out.

both popularity and rating are both curse tbh (fmab is getting a thrashing even in this thread which is not even related to fmab due to its high rating and popularity. it just shows how much of a curse it is)


i am pretty sure ur are expecting a fantasy scenario of sweet lullaby praising everywhere u go and people realizing the greatness of whatever ur favorites are and u are feeling lucky that u were among the initial people who saw the awesomeness. In reality things dont go like that......better prepared for the toxic spew. With popularity comes the hype shaming (same for rating in case of top 50- 100)

One Outs
Moriarty the Patriot
Astra: Lost in space

One outs Especially, its an amazing anime with a genius character, im sure it will be worth your time.

Astra has one of the best sci-fi thriller plots I have ever seen imo, perfect pacing.

The concept and story on which Moriarty is based is sooo close to reality, and yet it delivers a perfectly executed anime with close relation to the real modern day world, and has some straight up hype element to it.


I DEFINITELY recommend these 3 animes.
