| You're Under Arrest although it is more "overlooked" than underrated. It is sad that almost no English-speaking anime fan saw it today. |

| Up until Heartcatch I'd have said the Pretty Cure franchise, in the west was very underrated. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| to become a franchise, you obviously needs a lot of fans and followers or you will never make it into a franchise. |
| hi |
| *insert every ecchi and harem anime (with, in the case of harem, the exception of Tenchi Muyo) here* |
| Votoms. At least compared to how huge Gundam is. I'd really like to see more Votoms. |
| I would say Macross but I could be wrong on that one. |
| And Zero said "Let there be rebellion for the power of the geass is hidden within all of you". |
| Violinist of Hameln, just the anime though. |

Bob_Squob said: Getbackers is pretty underrated. Ugh, it is almost an 8 on here. That's not bad at all. I've watched and can't really say it deserves more or less than what it already received. What about Getbackers makes you think it should be more highly rated? |
 |
| oh well at least this topic won't get spammed with "omfg this shit is sooooo overrated" :-) at least give the OP that ^^ |

| Don't know how you can say One Piece isn't a franchise. It's not only the series but it's got a ton of movies and OVAs to go along with it. Same thing with Naruto. It's got a couple of series, plus movies and OVAs and it's even got a spin off for one of it's characters. If those aren't franchises then I don't know what are. |
 |
| It's not smart to exclude extended merchandise when talking about franchise, we pretty much have to include those things otherwise no anime/manga could be seen as a franchise. |

Also, I appreciate that English might not be your first language, but I know every language on earth uses some kind of punctuation. Don't be afraid to use some to make your posts a little more readable. People will take you more seriously as well. |

If it is currently has tons of merchandise it is a franchise, whether it was originally intended to or not. Intention is irrelevant mainly because you cannot know what the intention was for everything. |

BatCountry9000 said: *insert every ecchi and harem anime (with, in the case of harem, the exception of Tenchi Muyo) here* I don't think they're underrated. I think they are as they should be- in fact, they should be even less popular than they are. Tenchi is well-known because 1. it was on Cartoon Network and 2. It's an ecchi harem that actually had good, interesting characters whose personality was more than just "NO THIS GUY IS MINE!". Also, the ecchi in it wasn't nearly as stupid. They got straight to the point- Butt naked, no holds barred, instead of "tee-hee panty flashes!" It was also more tasteful than any of today's ecchi harems and had more story to it aside of the harem. |
| That's a pretty good example of why shows like that are underrated on English speaking sites. |
|
| Mecha, hentai and harem are one of them definitely. |
Enjolras1830 said: Anime_Name said: That's a pretty good example of why shows like that are underrated on English speaking sites. How When people think a whole genre or section of anime is bad that anime doesn't get watched often and gets low-rated by people looking to prove a point. Sports anime has the same problem but at least gets a little more respect. |

You're right, before hear catch most of the people didn't know about pre cure franchise and before this season pre cure have good seasons. Maybe not as good as heart catch, but they[re good. |
