gilgamesh was the show that made drop an anime for the first time. that show is butt ugly and the plot is slow in the most annoying possible way. the premise was interesting, but after spending so many episodes getting 0 answers, while also spending time on action and fight training, in a show that is again, VERY ugly, I couldn't take it anymore. I've heard the ending is good, so I might try it again later, but that show was painfully boring. and if you look at my list I LOVE, slow burners. so I can assure you it's not because it wasn't my type of show. in fact it was exactly my type of show. also also, the music straight up gave me headaches every time I watched an episode. the opening weirdly slaps though, so I'll give it that. and again. the core concept did have me hooked. |

I’ve only seen two of those shows, I love Texhnolyze but I didn’t like Requiem for the Phantom, It started off decent but really started to fall apart after the time skip with the characters acting retarded and the ending was pretty lame. |

Enjoyed Speed Grapher. One of the most f***ed up anime i've ever seen. The animation's bad tho. Loved Ergo Proxy. Will rewatch it in the future. Didn't really enjoy Texhnolyze. Too much heavy breathing. Might rewatch it tho. Dropped Phantom Requiem. Interesting core plot but weak development and execution. PTW: Kaze no Yojimbo, Blassreiter, Gasaraki Interested in Gilgamesh but also doubtful and hesitant. Don't know about the rest. |

SoldierDream said: I don't see how titles like Slayers and Shaman King aren't part of the mainstream. Sure nowadays they surely aren't as popular as Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen, but that doesn't mean back then they hadn't been pretty big names for their respective times. I really didn't see "Slayers" as mainstream at all in the West. The Anime started airing in Japan in around 1995 and the only way I remember that fans were able to see it in the West was through bootlegs on VHS until around the early 2000s when it got an official region 1 DVD release for the 1st time in North America. Because not many people owned Laser disc players back then. Before that "Slayers" was only released on Laser Disc. I don't even think it got officially released on VHS even in Japan but I could be wrong. I heard it aired on "International Channel" in the early 2000s but I have never met anyone who actually watched it air back then. As for "Shaman King" I guess you are right. It was more mainstream back then but over time fans just kind of forgot about it like they forgot about the "Ninja Scroll" Series. |

The Big O is another good series that fits in with the others, but it is a little bit more mainstream. |

Also from what I read, the VN ending was different, wasn't it? The OST is indeed great. Especially Ali Project songs. |

The dream scene with Zwei and Cal in the car can be seen as an alternative ending in a way. |

From the late 90s, Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 is completely unknown and extremely underrated. It has a silly name, but I'll be damned, almost every episode ends with a cliffhanger so everyone I know who watched it had a hard time not binge watching it, it had a pretty good ost, good animation, a unique story and a decent character cast. Very fun to watch. Lots of very good anime from the 2000s have already been listed. Most of them aren't THAT unknown though. |
