| Are there any anime series/shorts/movies that you have seen that in your opinion are very underrated and more people should check out? Also if anyone was wondering this is my underrated gem Zoo: Hidamari no Shi |

| Yes, it is called Hidamari Sketch. In my opinion, it really has every good aspect of a cute girl show and a lot of shows kinda borrow the elements of Hidamari Sketch without really making it any better. Everybody who's into cute girl show should check that one out! |
| Shitcom and Agitated Screams of Maggots deserve more appreciation. |

husbandolevi76 said: Zankyou no terror, it's way too good and I think it needs more views hell yes, I just saw it few days ago and it's such a gem! Like, EVERYONE needs to see it! Sure, it has it's annoying parts, what doesn't?, but it still leaves a rather huge impact. That's one of the anime's I'll never forget. Just thinking 'bout it tugs on my heart. I guess in my opinion, it's one of those rare anime's that do not just entertain you, but makes one stop for a moment and that's something precious I also don't think many have seen Wolf's Rain, Chrno Crusade, Scrapped Princess. Those three also have their own kind of unforgetfulness about them. |

| Saiki Kusuo no psi nan cuz it's my favorite anime. It's not really all that underrated but very overlooked. |
husbandolevi76 said: Zankyou no terror, it's way too good and I think it needs more views That is a pretty good anime, I watched it a few months ago, besides the bad English voice acting, a great show. |
| Saint Seiya. Not a masterpiece by any means, but still an absolute shounen classic from the 80s as much as Dragon Ball which deserves to at least be tried and commented by more people, it really pains me how little online traction it has. It only broke the 100k popularity mark here a couple of weeks ago, when a random and forgettable seasonal usually gets there in a couple of months, it's pretty disheartening. |

~Nothing is Eternal but Eternity ~ |
| Neo Ranga and Argento Soma, both of them have a score below a 7 on MAL even though they are great shows, it's a shame that the people watching these obscure shows tend to be very harsh when they score things therefore very obscure but great anime have low scores. |

| There's lots of awesome older anime poeple avoid nowadays because of different artstyle and animation or not high enough score on MAL. |
 |
| like half of my 10's in particular, some from my profile favs are chosen for this reason ~ Hi no Tori, Brigadoon, Barefoot Gen, Gosenzosama Banbanzai, Sakurada Reset, Simoun there's also Omae Umasou which is just underwatched, not underrated |
 |
| Most of the episodic anime can be in that category: Onihei, Dirty Pair, Master Keaton, Humanity Has Declined Also Turn A Gundam which has basically the same score of that trainwreck called Darling in the Franxx. |
 |
| Ergo Proxy seems to fit the "underrated gem" category. |
 |
| Dirty Pair is always the first anime to come to mind |
| Anime that in my opinion deserve more viewers or/and are underrated: Macross franchise in general Basilisk: Kouga Ninpou Chou Dagashi Kashi (weird one, but i loved it) Detroit Metal City Golden Kamuy Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens Mashiro-iro Symphony: The Color of Lovers Miira no Kaikata Mitsuboshi Colors Alderamin on the Sky Piano no Mori Planet With Punch Line Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan Sora yori mo Tooi Basho Sunohara-sou no Kanrinin-san (more of a guilty pleasure, for Ecchi fans i highly recommend this one then be the judge yourself lol) Toji no Miko Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Yu-Gi-Oh in general, mainly Arc V and excluding Zexal |
 |
| speed grapher its poorly animated but the concept and characters are something I've never seen before |
| Mo Dao Zu Shi is pretty great, I feel like people overlook it because of the shounen-ai tag even though it's not shown in the anime, only the novel. It's also a Chinese anime, so that might be a turn-off, but it looks way better than a lot of Japanese anime aswell... |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |
| One Piece, in my opinion, is underrated because of the long 850+ episodes |
 |
| The first season of Terra Formars. People shit on it when it came out because it was heavily censored (a lot of black boxes covering the gore). But the uncensored version is a solid watch if you're into dark & gritty action. |
| Shows that I don't hear talked about to often which I think are worth a watch are 'Kamisama Dolls' and 'Beelzebub' if you haven't seen them give them a try. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| So Ra No Wo To Underrated A-1 anime that deserves more love. I wish, it had more than 13 eps. |
 |
| Cossette no Shouzou. Yes it's just an eye candy anime but it's a damn interesting one. Nekojiru Sou might be weird but it's still a very good watch. |
 |
| Megazone 23, Wild 7, Venus War, and Golgo 13 Queen Bee Wild 7's opening scene establishes the maim cast of anti heroes so well that you pretty much understand the vibe of the entire series by the scene's ending. |
 |
| Hinamatsuri, as far as recent anime are concerned. This was probably one of the best comedic slice-of-life shows I've watched. Its humor was far from the slapstick and sexual humor you will find in many others. Enough spotlight for most of the characters, beautiful and down-to-earth artstyle, and quite touching. And yet, it is rather down in popularity in contrast to other, more well-known SoL shows. |

Dauphine said: Yes, a lot of my favorite anime are underrated, some it's understandable due to age, but still.... I think these need more exposure: Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari + the sequel Wakakusa Monogatari: Nan to Jo-sensei Alps Monogatari: Watashi no Annette D.Gray-man + the sequel D.Gray-man Hallow Donten ni Warau Fruits Basket Full Moon wo Sagashite Gakkou no Kaidan Hanasakeru Seishounen Inu x Boku SS Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou Karneval Katsugeki Touken Ranbu Kobato Kuragehime Level E Lovely Complex Matantei Loki Ragnarok Mawaru Penguindrum Otome Youkai Zakuro Puchi Puuri Yucie Rockman.EXE Servamp Shaman King Shin Shirayuki-hime Densetsu Prétear Shoukoku no Altair Sugar Sugar Rune Tegamibachi + the sequel Tegamibachi Reverse Tenshi ni Narumon!

| In my case just going to name a few https://myanimelist.net/anime/1470/City_Hunter?q=city%20hun, I can believe I heard about this just recently. https://myanimelist.net/anime/2582/Soukou_Kihei_Votoms?q=votom, random recommendation from MAL. I can't believe I never heard of this despite being a franchise with so many years. https://myanimelist.net/anime/36028/Golden_Kamuy?q=goldin%20kamuy, this is my new flavor, I can't believe how little people watch it. |

RyanOakes said: One Piece, in my opinion, is underrated because of the long 850+ episodes How a show that constantly gets first place in popularity in japan, has a great fanbase world wide and has a great score on MAL is underrated? L O L |
|
| Tiger and Bunny is really underated. Most people turn away bc of the CGI, but it's actually pretty good! I like Kiznaiver too, but the plot's kinda lacking. I might also recommend Shiki too. |
 |
| I'm just listed one anime : Moshidora |
 |
| Hidamari no Ki Sirius no Densetsu Ie Naki Ko Akage no Anne |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Definitely Digimon Tamers. That one will always be my favorite. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

| The first anime that always comes to mind to me for underrated shows is Gosick. I think it was originally a novel that got manga and anime adaptions. It's a very charming mystery series, everyone I've ever introduced to the series immediately fell in love with it. My best friend and I watched it back when it first aired, and its one of the shows we always miss and want to go back to. |
