| What is an anime that you consider to be a hidden gem. Magical girl raising project and Gleipnir  |
| Fantastic Children. Its janky character designs deter people from what is probably the single greatest narrative in all of anime. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Wasteful Days of High School Girl is a show I’m surprised isn’t more popular, also Chio's School Road |
 |
| Eww Gleipnir. I mean if we're going to consider Gleipnir as "hidden" then I can list Ping Pong, Luluco, Princess Tutu, Zetsubou Sensei, Land of the Lustrous, After the Rain, Casshern Sins and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind cause they all have fewer members than Gleipnir. For my real answer: Natsu no Arashi and Dragon Dentist, feels weird how unknown those shows are considering they're not old and don't have short episodes. |
| It would Probably be fantastic children, |
| Mr love, Norn9, dramatical murder, and togainu no chi. |
| Houseki no Kuni is a hidden gem, everybody should watch |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| Ascendance of a Bookworm Gakuen Babysitters Golden Boy Engaged to the Unidentified |
| "Bro, if you set your mind to it. You can jack off to anything." ☆☆☆☆☆ |
| Golden Kamuy is one of those I consider as hidden gems. Other one would be ef a tale of melodies, though the episodes are pretty avant garde in terms of direction. |
| Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die. I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die. Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart. Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing. I can't remember what happened anymore, but If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure. from Ichiban no Takaramono, by LiSA |
| Kono Oto Tomare I love it so much. It’s heavily underrated I really don’t know why people skipped it well it’s music it’s not for everyone so that explains much. |
| If you want me to prepare a rope for the sake of hanging yourself, forget it. But… If it's a rope for the sake of pulling you up from Hell, no matter how many ropes it takes, I'll prepare them for you. ~Sakata Gintoki |
| Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series Houseki no Kuni is a gem for sure too. Gleipnir was a terrible anime tbh. |

|
| For me it is death parade,grand blue and gankutsou. |
Judevin said: Ghost in the Shell movie is. The anime series isn't, probably because it not available to stream anywhere outside of USA legally. Hmm. Might be because I grew up with it and it was on TV. |

|
| There are many many, but I'll give a shoutout to Romeo and the Blue Skies: a very tightly written story about child chimney sweepers that can be enjoyed at all ages, with several important messages and themes that are explored with maturity. |
 |
| Tatami Galaxy. Very few people have watched it maybe because of the art style or the crazy pace of the voice actors(won't get enough time to read the subs), but its worth it. |
 |
| Hal is a hidden gem. It is a phenomenal anime movie |
| Now that I thought I about it I think I could say... Le Chevalier D'Eon. I would say Ghost in the Shell: SAC as well because it's amazing. |

SkyKid said: Kono Oto Tomare I love it so much. It’s heavily underrated I really don’t know why people skipped it well it’s music it’s not for everyone so that explains much. I was gonna say this. I adore the anime/manga so much. Also loved Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar as well. |
| Honzuki no Gekokujou It is a hidden gem for sure. I feel joyous to have watched this great anime but rather i feel disappointed that an anime of such potential didn't get the attention it deserved.  |
| Don't be a ketsunoana |
| Definite hidden gems: Haibane Renmei, Texhnolyze, Gankutsuou, Shinsekai Yori, Bokurano, Eden of the East, Houseki No Kuni, Mononoke, Rainbow, The Tatami Galaxy. Gems but skeptical if they're "hidden": March Comes in Like a Lion, Golden Time, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, Serial Experiments Lain, Shiki, Kuzu No Honkai. |

Sphealz said: Mr love, Norn9, dramatical murder, and togainu no chi. i feel like dramatical murder is overly hated because it's either, to yaoi or not yaoi enough. I also think that when it was first broadcast there were some animation issues that were later fixed with the BD release, but people still rate it based on its first airing. I did like it, mostly because of the futuristic setting which was still relatable to a person in the mid 00's. |

| Maybe Mononoke , its very similar to Mushishi and very good too but I don't see a lot of people mentioning it |
| I would say mostly older anime which have been forgotten about. Especially stuff which aired on TV during a time where it was easy to not even know the name of the show you were watching. my list would include princess resurrection (the dub, the sub is meh) gokudo (troll adventurer, lots of folklore elements, very comedic) Needless( a very fun parody) under 100k https://myanimelist.net/anime/525/Otogizoushi https://myanimelist.net/anime/4039/Golgo_13_TV (idk how this isn't more popular, the dub is amazing too) https://myanimelist.net/anime/198/Speed_Grapher https://myanimelist.net/anime/1013/Le_Chevalier_DEon https://myanimelist.net/anime/1509/Mamotte_Lollipop https://myanimelist.net/manga/371/Ichigo_Mashimaro https://myanimelist.net/anime/489/Kamichu over 100k users https://myanimelist.net/anime/33337/ACCA__13-ku_Kansatsu-ka https://myanimelist.net/anime/10798/Un-Go https://myanimelist.net/anime/135/Hikaru_no_Go https://myanimelist.net/anime/469/Karin there's a lot more, some of them are meant more for specific audiences and if you're not part of that audience then it won't be as good of a watch |

 |
| maybe shoujo shuumatsu ryokou and kino no tabi? I do not know if they are as well known as they should but in my opinion they are very good anime. |
 a wise user of MAL said: Just to clarify, adaptations should absolutely stand on their own |
| Joshikousei no mudadzukai is a show I wish more people would be aware of. The comedy is way better and the jokes are funnier than Danshi koukousei no nichijou. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| Gunsmith Cats! It's a comfy mid 90s anime with all the typical 90s anime charm. It's got good action, good characters, but by far the thing to appreciate the most about it is that you can tell the creator knows a lot about guns! if you're a gun lover, this is the anime to watch! The only downside is that it's only 3 episodes... |
| Tsuki ga Kirei and Eromanga Sensei are both animes I didn't think I'd like anywhere near as much as I liked them |
 |
| What do u mean by Hidden Gem? Underrated or has the least members? |
 |
| Slayers went from being one of the biggest hits of the 90s to a hidden gem at this point. |
| The mystery anime Moriarty the Patriot is a hidden gem. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| With the popularity of Vtubers (And HoloGra) I think gdgd fairies should have more eyeballs on it. The whole show is a group of Seiyuu doing improv to whatever crazy thing the animators have made. It's below 5k users on here. |
Maybe the latter. I'm not the OP but threads like these usually mean that |
|
| For now, I would consider Parasyte The maxim to give that position. |
 ◽◽◽ ᓚᘏᗢ ◽◽◽ Having lived through trauma and mind-fucking, I'm accustomed to it now. |
| Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul. I actually enjoyed it more than its predecessor and the comedy was on point. |
Some of these are def more hidden than others, and I excluded some others for that reason, so it prob isn't perfect or anything. |
 |
| I think it's Night Is Short, Walk on Girl. It has a very interesting storyline, and if you're really high or in a mood you will definitely enjoy this movie. |
 |
| Katanagatari is a hidden gem that utilizes the Monogatari concept & style in every better way possible & yet for some reason is much underwatched compared to the Monogatari series. |
| "There's no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah... a heart made full-metal." ~Edward Elric |
| Arslan Senki, Btooom! and Drifters. |
| Suisei no Gargantia - is pretty underrated Natsume Book of Friends - is a well-known hidden gem, but still underwatched Blue Submarine No. 6 Children of the Whales tbh anything from the last 7 years is pretty well know since everybody watched seasonal anime from then on |
