I would say Chihayafuru. Barely anyone talks about how great it is. Yuu Yuu Hakusho was also really famous and talked about in the 90's. Don't know what happened to it's popularity now

Right now, that show has to be Healer Girl. I feel like it got heavily overshadowed by two music anime that came out this season (Nijigasaki and Paripi Koumei).


I wasted all my time in rewatching to the point of my rewatch total is higher than my overall anime total lmao

Well yes, a lot of them actually.

Hakkenden
Mermaid Melody
Kodomo no Omocha
Hakuouki
Lady Jewelpet
MÄR
Miira no Kaikata

Like I can't be the only one having the time of my life enjoying these. Especially Mermaid Melody, the score is still above 7.00 but I think it's a bit low

That sucks. The dub is infinitely better, it's low-key an bridged series, fucking hysterical.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I mean, some people mentioned it, so I'm technically not the only one, but even they didn't like the second half, which made me nominate that as AOTY 2021

Omg yes, I just finished this a few weeks ago and I thought it was really good. Definitely underrated, or at least deserves a lot more attention in my opinion.

The ending song of that series is the ringtone of my mobile phone. How can you say that you are the only one who loves it?

But to add an anime myself: I love Aoi Hana, have rewatched it at least three times, but never heared anybody saying a good word about it on the forum.

“Why yes, I did give summer 2021’s Kanojo mo Kanojo a 10/10 unironically”

I feel like people take anime too seriously, which is why shows like girlfriend girlfriend have a general negative rep when it wasn’t made to be taken seriously in the slightest in the first place


I disagree with this completely. A rating should always a be a serious thing just because of its nature of them. I think people should rate off of what the genre of the anime is so they can rate it most appropriately off of how it's intended to be and/or a gold standard of it.

But if people take the anime seriously and rate it down and you say it's meant to not be taken seriously, so what? When it's taken seriously it gets a low rating for not meeting the standards of review, when it's not, people know they can still enjoy it even with a low rating.

TLDR, I think you're contradicting yourself by saying people shouldn't take an anime like Kanojo mo Kanojo seriously when rating it. Saying that is still taking it seriously, but wanting it to be rated higher I think.

Stuff that no one watches.
But if we're going into shows that people do watch, but don't enjoy that much, then:
-I feel like most love for Bananya is ironic, so that's one.
-Level E. Specifically, there's an arc that I really like that apparently most people don't.
-Naruto SD.
-Samurai Flamenco.

Notes on previous replies:
I agree on No guns life, but I didn't like it enough to point it out.
I would like to agree on Hetalia, but what I see of it is that it has a very active fanbase, so it doesn't feel like I'm alone at all.
Not sure to which degree Shinsekai Yori is disliked? Feels like it was fairly well received to me.

Well, I wouldn't classify them the same way at all.
For example, I brought up Bananya, and I'm not guilty about liking it at all, but I didn't bring up, say, fantasy bishoujou from last season, which I enjoyed, but I do feel guilty about.

"Pet"! The best psychological anime I have watched - it saddens me how few people watched it and that it sits with a 6.45 rating.
It's one of the few animes that express symbolisms without telling you constantly that it's a symbolism - Pet "shows, not tells", meaning that if you're watching it "casually" and expect the anime to serve everything on a plate to you like the average shonen-anime, you're not going to experience it properly; which is probably why very few enjoyed it...

Same with Takena's shorts. I like horror and gore but his work is some of the lowest rated stuff on the entire site.


Takena has a pretty dedicated little fanbase. Unfortunately, most people on MAL don't seem to appreciate his work. It's definitely a shame because he's clearly very talented at claymation and his shorts are so much fun.

I mean sure the protagonist is a degenerate teacher that wants to mess up his middle school students and constantly rages about the age of consent, but it has some top tier waifus, a good trap, and a harem ending in the source material manga. The depravity is actually refreshing, I would argue.

I was loving level E until the big reveal of the prince's joke at the end of ep 3. Then I couldn't see it the same way anymore after the show shifted to other charas.

If i had to guess, it's probably because they aren't "Traditional" anime, i guess you'd say. I saw a few of his shorts years back on the early days of YouTube and had no idea they were even anime.

Yeah, honestly, if it stayed like those first 3 episodes, i'd probably give it a higher score, but i genuinely didn't like the color rangers arc or anything up until the baseball guy from the first episode came back (Sorry, i'm bad with names, i forgot the character's name)

No worries, I don't recall the names either loool it could've been a memorable anime if they just made it 12 episodes by splitting the first and last 3 episodes into 12 minute ones. The colour rangers part was really a bit drop in quality.

Well there has to be someone who likes all the barely hidden toy commercial anime (little kids, I assume) but at least talking to other adults or looking at MAL ratings, no one else seems to actually enjoy or watch them.
But I find some weird level of enjoyment in shows like Marvel Disk Wars, Phi Brain or Build Divide (leaving out stuff like Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon and Co. because many of us watched those as children, so they are popular due to nostaglia).
