guych said: Detective Conan is actually slept on. No one even knows what it is even though they have 940+ episodes and 20 movies Ngl, I would never call Detective Conan "slept on." I think it's just not as popular in the west? Look, it's been over 20 years, still going and I know a tonnn of dc fans. From what I can tell, it's still pretty popular in Japan. But I understand what ya mean, more people should be watching, but it can be really hard to get someone into it: 940+ episodes is a big commitment. |

mhkr said: No mentions of Suzumiya Haruhi and Cardcaptor Sakura. Hmmmmm Haruhi definitely feels forgotten considering how popular it used to be. Cardcaptor Sakura is a classic, definitely feels forgotten by most, probably more popular with those who are die-hard magical-girl/shoujo fans. |

Vilkku92 said: Hard to forget, especially when you're told what the manga does ...Man, I had totally forgotten about Usagi Drop. I'm not sure if others have forgotten it too, but not many people talk about it. Damuzen said: One of the more unique shows I've seen aswell, seen it 5 years ago but still remember the majority of it.None of my friends have watched or even heard of Katanagatari for example Shibha_Alam said: Honestly, thinking about makes me want to watch it again, it's definitely one of those shows ...Monster, it was and still is a masterpiece but I feel as if its been buried by a series of newer shows and forgotten about, or it may be that its just not talked about much You're definitely right, you don't see a lot of people talk about it anymore. - I guess it seems too old to many new anime viewers. |

| Most of them. Consume. Forget. Consume. Forget. 2017 is old, according to one thread a while back. Nothing's special anymore. |

| Kill Me Baby and Panty And Stocking. Two hilarious comedies that need to be talked about more! |

| From what I've seen, Kaiba seemed to be pretty popular when it first aired, but now no one talks about it, as if it never existed, which is too bad because it is an amazing series. |

| I hope nobody is forgetting about Code Geass. I just rewatched it recently, saw the new movie, and I love it even more than I did when I first saw it. This show is an absolute masterpiece. |

| Welcome to NHK , it's a really good show about an hikkikimori(shut in) who wants to leave his hikkikimori life but is dragged by his past I think it is been forgotten and not seen many people talking about it |

It's not forgotten. Juuni Kokuki Dennou Coil Kemono no Souja Erin These are three shows of high quality that seems to have been lost in the mists of time. Honorable mention goes to: Hitsugi no Chaika a good anime that only barely fell short of greatness that I think perfectly exemplifies the thread topic. When much more mediocre titles get tons of hype somehow this one fell through the cracks. |
 |
| Well, I just watched it, so I didn't forget about it, but I think Pandora Hearts deserves more attention. |
  |
| kenichi the greatest disciple. i love that show but it seems to have disappeared from the face of the planet. i hate to say it but tenchi muyo as well i thought it was a pretty good show for what it was. |

I'm one of the few people who considers it on par with Brotherhood. I have yet to fully watch Brotherhood and I will be surprised if I like it as much as the 2003 version. The Nina episodes alone absolutely destroys Brotherhoods version. I remember the 2003 version being incredibly popular at the time. It's sad that some parts of the fanbase like to pretend that it's shit now just because Brotherhood exists. |

| Warau Salesman. though the MAL ratings may say otherwise, i personally think both seasons of it are quite entertaining, although the episodic nature of it will definitely turn a lot of people away. the original version is being aired in this youtube channel (RAW though), please give it a watch! |

| Escaflowne. It's pretty good; solid recommendation. But people that are younger than me probably won't watch it because of the flood of modern isekai over the past several years. yeah111 said: The Vision of Escaflowne and Cat's Eye don't get much attention nowadays. Thanks for knowing the vibes. |

| -Blood+ This show right here used to be liked and talked by quite a lot of people when it was airing on Adult Swim. It's pretty much abandoned now lmao. -InuYasha Where are y'all man? Y'all used to be hanging around the internet praising Kagome and Sesshoumaru. -Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress Y'all used to love this show. Proven by a staggering score of 8.40+ back at the time when it airs. Now it's pretty much known to be a shitty AoT clone. -Noragami Yeah, I know a lot of people still watch it, but I barely know people talk about it again. -Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Where tf all the praise go? Y'all used to love this series. |

Metropolis (2001), felt like a long lost fever dream |

| Oh boy I'm going to be really bad at trying to judge what seems forgotten, but I'll give this a shot. So looking over my list of shows that I loved and rated highly and are a bit older, but don't seem talked about anymore really. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Ok, this was perhaps the biggest anime for like 1-2 years. It was very influential, hit at this perfect moment in time for it, was incredibly well received and honestly it was amazing. People just seem to forget that this was probably the most... important, influential, well received, loved anime for a couple of years. And it's not even that old! I mean for fans old enough you basically had FMA rule over the western anime world, until basically Attack on Titan came out as something that rivaled it's popularity, but in-between them for a short time it was this. The Vision of Escaflowne - God this was beyond huge at the time. Back when iseki wasn't really a thing, this was it. One of the all time legendary romance / fantasy anime. Easily was on the short list of best / most popular series in the late 90s, early 00s and now it's just... nothing. I mean I get people are tired of iseki,, but this was doing it over 20 years ago. Vampire Hunter D / Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - D used to be one of the most recognizable anime characters, but I feel like now if you ask someone what they think of D they will give you a blank stare. Bloodlust I feel is still the most beautiful, well animated anime ever made and it's over 20 years old. Ninja Scroll - Ok so I know a lot of my stuff and reasoning behind it is skewing towards older fans from a different era of fandom, but anyone who remembers when it was basically Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll as the only 3 anime you could rent from your local video rental store know this anime's importance and impact. Also plus I mean, it's pretty freaking badass. All of those overused clichés and tropes didn't always use to be that way. And gotta appreciate the stuff that was doing it before some of those things became like that. His and Her Circumstances - Easily a Mt. Rushmore of romance / shoujo. While yes the anime couldn't really pull off what the manga deserved it was still a classic, Plus this was one of the anime that truly made Gainax, Gainax. It was the show after Evangelion, so having this as its follow up was crazy to think of. Just a few quick hits here; Ah! My Goddess - Again for anime fans, this was a household name and Belldandy was one of the most recognizable faces. Azumanga Daoih - Probably my favorite comedy ever. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - Weird saying that the movie that kind of made Ghibli is forgotten, but well, it kinda seems that way. Also a masterpiece. Gungrave - I mean it's not some all-timer, but man this show was cool and pretty popular. Maybe the dumb name doesn't help haha. |
-Hermit- said: I have yet to fully watch Brotherhood and I will be surprised if I like it as much as the 2003 version. The Nina episodes alone absolutely destroys Brotherhoods version. I remember the 2003 version being incredibly popular at the time. It's sad that some parts of the fanbase like to pretend that it's shit now just because Brotherhood exists. Gotta agree, 2003 is solid, FMAB is mostly fandom circlejerking + manga purism. Yes 2003 doesn't follow the (unfinished at the time) manga. And then? What's so great about that cheesy conspiration story and uninspired villain in Brotherhood? |
