  I never thought of Uma Musume as obscure. In fact, isn't it HUGE in Japan or something? |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
 Interesting. Some of these aren't really obscure nor hidden, and I was hoping some other ones would be in there. I didn't know this was a thing. It's kind of like a simplified MALgraph. |

We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons. And for one brief moment, you did. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered. *That* is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence. |
Hidden gems     Most obscure      So these are the hidden gems and most obscure ones huh.... |

| 'Hidden gems' are not really hidden 'Most obscure' that are really obscure: 'SHe', 'Pictures at an Exhibition' and 'Dozen of North' |

 This definitely seems a bit questionable as I'd say only IGPX among these is less well known. |

@Lucifrost go to 'statistics' then 'anime scores'
| @mokkocchi Thank you. I'm able to find my gems now that I'm not looking where OP told me to look. I don't know if these anime are really hidden, but I love them all very much! The Rose of Versailles SKET Dance Penguin Highway Revolutionary Girl Utena Kobato. My "most obscure" anime is in fact a favorite of mine. https://myanimelist.net/anime/8372/Makoto-chan |

| OG Macross and Revolutionary Girl Utena being "hidden gems" is wild to me. MAL got me feeling old the same way I do looking at the top rated list :( Obscure ones are Romance of the Three Kingdoms (1991), Junkers Come Here, Dagger of Kamui, Arion & Crusher Joe |

These are mine. Nice to know there is a feature like that. |
| Hidden Shy (it's right i loved it) Oemojisangjuui (kinda good ig) True Tears (very melodramatic not for everyone) Obscure Swarm (HeiMen {haha himen} good just good) Absolute Boy (hmmm surely and experience) Kimi no Koe (this one's good) Akiba Meid War (this one a rollercoaster lol) Personal Takes Summertime Render (better than expected) Sakamoto desu ga? (one episode is more bizarre than the last) Grimgar (slowburn more realistic isekai) Lycoris Recoil (good + the op is epic) Btooom (definitely liked it) ShangriLa Frontier (it deserves a spot in your list) Kubo won't let me be invisible (now im diabetic) Manga Shingeki No Kyojin Before the fall (good spin-off) Isshou Suki tte Yutta jan (i forgot lol) Kenja ga Nakama ni Natta (still mad it got axed) Imamade Ichido mo Onnaatsukai sareta Koto ga Nai Onna Kishi wo Onnaatsukai suru (How to treat a female knight right ) (really wholesome i do recommend it) Obscure kimi ga shinu made ato 100-nichi (yes of course) Ponkotsu Ponko (Ponko the useless)(also wholesome) Doujima wa Doujimai ( just good ) Personal Takes Can you just die, my darling? (weird but enjoyable) Blade play (managaka just created a new mythology just to finish an h lol) |
I don't agree with the definition of "hidden" on this site but let's leave it at that. |

| @Lucifrost welcome. it's a bit confusing to find because of the layout design I guess, but I can totally understand the instructions she gave. I also love SKET Dance |

| Here's mine: Hidden Gems: -Kekkaishi -Ueki no Housoku -MF Ghost -Hanbun No Tsuki Ga Noboru-Sora -Bamboo Blade Most Obscure -Area 88 (TV) -Mushi-Uta -Uchuu no Stellvia -Mahoraba: Heartful Days -Hyouge Mono |

Expected this to be honest. Anne Happy S2 never.  |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas "Woof" -Tobiichi Origami "Are you trying to turn the dormitory into a strip club!?! -Atena Saotome |
| Hidden Gems: • Ghost Stories • Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts • Romeo X Juliet • Girl Demon Zakuro • Sola Most Obscure: • Neighbourhood Stories • Venus to Mamoru! • Beyblade Burst • Brighter Than the Dawning Blue • The Demon Prince of Momochi House  |
| haibane renmei, stardust telepath, rewrite imo |

| I honestly don't know how it calculated this. Hidden gems: .hack//SIGN Mnemosyne Ghost Hound Romeo x Juliet The Place Promised in Our Early Days Obscure: Daphne in the Brilliant Blue Flag Cyborg 009 Madlax Simoun How these are hidden gems, or obscure, is beyond me. Also, the fact School Days is in "They hated it, I enjoyed it." is great. XD |

NoelleIsSleepy said: According to MAL, what are your anime hidden gems?  According to MAL my hidden Gems from left to right are "Chio's School Road", "Gunslinger Girl", "Broken Blade", "Basilisk", and "Mai-HiME". Most obscure from left to right are "Silent Möbius", "Dokkoida?!", "Miami Guns", "Gall Force 1", and "Windaria". Ironicly I don't think any of the stuff MAL has randomly generated as being remotely "hidden gems" nor that "obscure" to begin with. Other than the exception of "Miami Guns" and "Windaria". |

Gee, it sure is boring around here |
| I hardly even watch anime tbh...so I have no hidden gems... |
| Cross game Aria the animation Zatch bell Versailles no bara Revolutionary girl uthena |
| I watch whatever anime interests me...rather than what other people find interesting... |
| Here are the hidden gems : 1. Millennium Actress 2. In This Corner of the World 3. The Tale of Princess Kaguya 4. Tekkon Kinkreet 5. Mind Game ...and the "most obscure": 1. Fuyu no hi 2. Ushiro no Shoumen daare 3. 1001 Nights 4. Windy Tales 5. Night on the Galactic Railroad |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
NoelleIsSleepy said: The Tale of Princess Kaguya That's also on mine. I wasn't even aware of this section of the stats, but I'm in general agreement with what's listed under hidden gems and most obscure - especially can't recommend "The First Slam Dunk" enough. Everyone should watch it. |
| From up on the poppy hill, millennium actress, flowers of evil, penguin highway, and hal. |
 |
| So how do these categories even work? I've noticed the "most obscure" does not actually display the least popular anime I've seen. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Oh nahhhh my only "hidden gem" is Beyblade Metal Fusion 😂 |
“Maybe nothing in this world happens by accident. As everything happens for a reason, our destiny slowly takes form.” - Rayleigh  |
 Obscures are pretty much the same too |
The hidden gems metric is broken and makes no sense to me. |
