Can't say for certain or objectively, but I feel like JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Phantom Blood movie is pretty darn obscure.

They screened it like once and never released the movie.

We aren't gonna name it in this thread because they're obviously not obscure if we know them. The most obscure anime I have watched is Nobunaga Concerto and Shounen Hollywood.

If we were able to tell you, then it wouldn't be the most obscure.

Nobody even knows of the most obscure anime of all time.

You obviously know nothing about this anime or how it was made by ONE single dude and how it is his life's work. context goes a long way

Failing this, it's apparently this https://myanimelist.net/anime/40674/Nantoka_Tengoku
The group that did it apparently has done nothing but obscure animation shorts
This one is also in the 10k popularity rank region and was what I found through a quick google search https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3x2put

One of my favorite anime, Sasurai no Taiyou is fairly obscure, with only 202 members having completed it, however, it was only fansubbed earlier this year, so hopefully it won't be obscure much longer.

Anyways my suggestion for the most obscure anime(at least on this site)is a chinese cartoon called pleasant goat and big big wolf,it, it only has 91 users. It's still ongoing though and it's quite popular in China.I remember seeing it on TV from my last trip to China, and it has changed quite a lot from when I last saw it as a child.

That's just how many people scored it almost 10k have seen it.

I didn't like this anime.

Probably this: https://myanimelist.net/anime/15211/Nazotoki-hime_wa_Meitantei%E2%99%A5

I just added it to my list cuz I was checking some anime list by some person who happened to stumble on the Anime & Manga Recommendation forums. The picture and premise seems really cute.
Would like to watch this, but I don't really see much about it on the internet. Perhaps it's lost?

In any case, I have no idea how the person where I found this anime from even knew about this OVA in the first place...

The most obscure thing I've ever heard of is Sarazanmai. The whole idea of it just made me go wtf. In case you don't know what it is:
Sarazanmai is about 3 dudes who get transformed into frogs/cappas (or something close to that) and then they get eaten by another one and they have to enter normal people's asses to consume their inner desire by taking this crystal that's in their butt

I honestly can't explain it because I don't even understand it myself

Proper way to experience it was on cinema though and it had limited screenings. Producer made the cinema experience to feel like a freak show, hiring staff to surprise the viewers and accommodating the room accordingly
