Tell me what is the most underrated anime according to you.

And also provide the reason why you liked it very much while others didn't.

For me :

1. Kiyo in kyoto from maiko house.

2. Tsurune

Saiunkoku Monogatari

Main hook to me is the setting it's taking place in, historical Chinese imperial palace. I love the relationship between the female protagonist and the male lead, and that she doesn't give up on pursuing her dream. I also like that she takes pride in her femininity and being a woman and doesn't try to be like a man, unlike a lot of the modern 'well written' female characters that display too much masculine traits.



I don't think the show is hated or disliked, but it's relatively unknown because of its age.

@Serafos Edomae Elf is a good one. I really loved all of its chibi scenes and
their fun and lovely relationship.

Ore no Michi-Stop motion slice of life drama in the likes of House of Small Cubes.

Hidamari no Ki-The first episode is bad and most will have a problem with its ugly male characters, but it's a great historical drama.

Future War 198X-nen-Yes, the finale is not the best and the characters are not very important, it's more about the plot, which is a solid war drama.

The Silent Service-Same thing

Not really underrated but more like underwatched-The 90s Sangokushi movie trilogy (the whole thing is more than 7 hours long). Best Three Kingdoms anime but not eastern animation, once the Ravages of Time donghua gets more seasons.

I will come back if I find more.

Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious.

I think it's a good isekai comedy series. I think it's pretty funny, but I think the name has prevented a lot of people from watching it, because it sounds like a pretty generic isekai anime.

Underrated is Fairy Tail. It's a deconstruction of the shounen genre and explores Cioran philosophy. One Piece is rubbish for children.

@CD2411 Fairy Tail is garbage, using philosophy jargon you don't understand doesn't make u sound smart either

There are probably more underrated anime among all the ones I've seen, but Duel Masters somehow always comes to mind first.
The card artworks in Duel Masters are much darker, more abstract, and alternative, which is why I loved it alongside Yu-Gi-Oh. The story itself is more aimed at children and lacks much depth, so it might feel more special at that age.

I think Sum's Wish is super underrated.
The ending is really good, but I think a lot of people where unfairly upset because it just didn't go in the direction they wanted.

School Days

It starts as great romantic comedy, but then it unexpectedly turns into great drama. Plot progresses naturally due to characters logical actions. Characters have complex personalities. Animation has great cinematography. Voice acting and soundtrack fits perfectly. Staff put a lot of effort into everything.

I think that plenty of people hate it because they misunderstand it. This anime rarely explains anything, but it leaves plenty of clues. Lots of people also hate it because characters are assholes. And some just find it boring.
