Anime Titles that deserve more attention

Have you seen a great anime but everyone you ask seems to not know what you’re talking about? I know I definitely have. What titles have you seen that you wish other people would share the same interest in the show as you? Find people here who have seen the anime! Try to stay away from saying popular titles like FMA and Inuyasha and stuff like that.
Here’s my list:

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha (the first season and A’s)
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (Such a funny series, yet so very very wrong XD XD)
Voogie’s Angels (3 episode OVA)
Cosplay Complex (also really funny yet can be wrong at times XD)

Share your list!

Harukanaru Toki No Naka De
Tactics
Gokusen

<3

Dokuro-chan is fucking awesome.

My list:
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (I want to kill Funimation for butchering this series)
Green Green (a school full of estrogen-deprived males)
and Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose (even though only one episode was ever released, it’s still extremely funny)

Amen to Dokuro-chan! Yay! For Dokuro-chan fans!

Wah~! I checked out images from each of the shows you guys listed, and the art is just drawing me in! Looks like I’ve got more anime to watch! I’ve been told that I have to watch Green Green before

Just one I can think of.

Trinity Blood

Just one I can think of.

Trinity Blood
Well I know Trinity Blood is finally getting a bit popular since they’re showing it on Adult Swim/cartoon Network on Saturday evenings ^_^

I thought of another anime that needed a bit more attention while at work today…
Le Portrait de Petit Cossette (really spooky story, the art is amazing and the OST is fantastic)

haha. yes. another gokusen fan. ^^

oh and i saw like the first episode of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha and i couldn’t stand watching anymore. why? well because i kept rewinding to the transformation sequences and the little bits and pieces of fanservice they put on the absolutely adorable cute little girls. >.<

damn those japanese for teasing me so. now i have to go "shake off" this built in pressure on my great loli galleries. arg!!

/me loves transformation sequences ;_; so so much.

i also saw the intro to Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan and it also looks like a good show. lol at the part where the girl is teasing the poor guy. >.<

aside from that. omg you guys should totally see

PRINCESS TUTU

omfg!! >.< the whole world needs to know about this one!! arg!!!

also Kaleido Star is really nice as well. i love shoujos. 😀

Is the Cossette from that series based on the girl from Les Miserables?

i’ve been waiting on the dvdrelease like forever :[

Gensomaden Saiyuki
Lost Universe

Is the Cossette from that series based on the girl from Les Miserables?

Of what I was getting from it, ya, but a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry strange twist and not keeping to that story at all. She haunts a glass that Eiri has in this antique shop, and he shares the same soul(reincarnation) as her lover/artist. it’s really creepy.
Here’s two links:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2908
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Portrait_de_Petit_Cossette <–that link would probably be a lot better. The dub was really good (which I usually don’t say), I was glad I bought it after watching the fansub when it first came out. ^_^

Strange Dawn

Two i can think of that could go here…

Mai-HiME/Mai-Otome
Mahou Sensei Negima

I suppose thats three and I guess that they are becoming more popular now since the dubbed releases in america… and all hail Dokoro-chan O:]

The voice actress that makes 3 of those series awesome is Chiba Saeko.

The voice actress that makes 3 of those series awesome is Chiba Saeko.

Now is that a voice actor for the english dub? Also if you know where i can find a place just even to preview a little of the dub it would be most appreciated 😀

She’s from the Japanese dubbing.

Even though it’s always been pretty popular, it annoys me a little that Kare Kano is know to many as ‘the other anime that Hideaki Anno directed’ (even though he was probably only around for about half of it).

Although it can’t really be helped I guess.

I haven’t heard Ergo Proxy mentioned of late. This anime can be confusing at times admittedly since there is a lot of info to take in. It is quite an intelligent anime and may not appeal to the younger generation. But, in my opinion, it’s one of the greatest anime’s created. It’s a favourite of mine and I like all the characters, especially the little auto-rave (robot) called Pino.

The anime and manga Tenjou Tenge is also good in a combat perverted way, its cool. If you dont know it, giv it a look see.

I’d have to say Paranoia Agent, Serial Experiments Lain, Betterman, and Genshiken. Paranoia Agent is on Adult Swim now, but people still seem to tell me that they "Don’t get it" or it’s "Stupid."
Huh…

Rod, Noir. It’s what I’m watchin right now.

Both of which are well-known and irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Thanks Z im personally a big fan of both of the Mai series and I think that more people should be exposed to it to enjoy. ^^

Noir deserves it. ^_^

Oh! And various Yaoi anime.

i like
elfen lied
maburaho
they are very different from normal anime.
if you havent you should watch –
grave of fireflies, very interesting and sad

Grave of the Fireflies
Avalon
Patlabor II
Black Lagoon

Millennium Actress deserves attention. Its pretty good.

In Japan it’s huge still, but I think too many people don’t know about Astro Boy.
How can you be an anime fan and not know about ASTROBOY?

Unfortunately Astro Boy is pretty well know in the States… maybe people have forgotten but it used to be on cartoon network

BLEACH
Outlaw Star
CHOBITS
Tenchi Muyo
Ranma 1/2
Pilot Candidate
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Full Metal Alchemist
InuYasha
Love Hina
Rurouni Kenshin
I know there’s more, but I can’t think of any right now

All of those are really well-known though.. ^_^;

I wondered how long it would be before some moron popped into this thread and posted all the obvious stuff that everybody and their grandmother’s dead goldfish have seen.

I’ve seen all of those, and even people who don’t like anime tell me they love those shows.

haha. prak has no faith in the posters at ffs. he already knows someone’s gonna dissapoint him each time every time. :p

it’s ok prak. just take it one day at a time.

I wondered how long it would be before some moron popped into this thread and posted all the obvious stuff that everybody and their grandmother’s dead goldfish have seen.

Hellsing Ultimate.

:smrt: Because it’s actually awesome enough that it deserves the extra attention!

True. Can’t ever have enough mention of Hellsing Ultimate.

Watch this and find out just what the fuck Prak and I are talking about, n00bs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-5VWT62HY).

Grave of the Fireflies.
Lost Universe.
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan.
The Cockpit: Kamikaze Stories.

I rarely hear anything about Speed Racer, anymore, too.

For me:
Slayers,Chobits,Lost Universe,Maburaho,green green (H-H),Love Hina,DBZ

Hmm, I don’t see too much love for

Outlanders
Here is Greenwood
Giant Robo
Chou Kuseni Narisou
Ebichu
Let’s Nupu Nupu
Curse of the Undead Yoma

吸血鬼のハンターD (vampire hunter D) ^_^ tho it isn’t exactly anime
verry few of the novels have been translated so far =(

also
Q ko chan
battle angel alita
3×3 eyes
wedding peach
and pretear ^o^

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni must be seen! It has an incredible story for an anime…

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni must be seen! It has an incredible story for an anime…

me likies too

Eyeshield 21 SERIOUSLY needs more love. Even if you arent a fan of football it is still really good and it will probabaly get you into football.

I would have to agree with Fuu on Paranoia Agent, That is one of my favorite Anime’s.

I’m sure FLCL is known to some degree, but I always hear people talk about how funny and random it is, when there is actually stuff that is overlooked because of the randomness. FLCL actually has a good storyline, but the "OMG ITS SO RANDOM" comments somewhat ruins it, amirite?

Pokemon

I think Pokemon deserved much attention than it deserves already!

I don’t have anything to add, as all of the truly good shows always rise to the surface and recieve the attention they deserve.

Bullshit.

Actually, I shouldn’t say ALL. That’s a bit too specific, but the majority of the shows that aren’t recieve the attention that people think they deserve just aren’t as good as those that are.

Not to say that many terrible shows don’t float up to the top as well for one pathetic reason or another.

These are some I’ve seen yet not as regarded as I would like:
Flame of Recca
Ninku
Yaiba
Kamichu!
& Black Jack

100% agree with Bokusatsu-Tenshi Dokuro-Chan. It’s a freaking sweet anime and deserves so much more attention.
I also loved the Mai series.

Kaleido Star comes to mind. One of my favorite series.

nice one, Lady Triforce. I love that one too. 😀

if i havne’t said so already because i don’t remember what i posted…

PRINCESS TUTU IS SOMETHING EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH OMG! :p

Ok, i’ve got no clue if it’s popular or not, but no one i know, knows it lol.

D. Gray-Man

Also:
Black Lagoon
Night Head Genesis
Basilisk

No one i know knows of these animes lol

Ne1 here seen em?

What about Tenchi Muyo

Just a suggetstion, i know its old but its still pretty damn good anime

As JoeBob said, D.gray-man definitely deserves more attention than it’s been getting. The anime only started late last autumn, though.

That’s about all that I can think of as I don’t watch that much anime. I read a lot more manga instead.

I dont know why I even bothered to start watching that hellsing ultimate trailer. 30 seconds in and I was downloading the torrent. I completely forgot Odins mentioned this already somewhere else.

Also, I think Ive said this before, but people need to watch more Ping Pong Club. Get it in english though. The english voices rock.

Heh. The Hellsing Ultimate OVA series is awesome lol. It actually sticks to the original storyline AND it has good animation the entire way through. =D
Definately worth the download, and the half a year wait per episode >_>;;

I got all three overnight. Unless theres more than 3 .

There WILL be. There’s about a half a year wait between each episodes because it takes them about half a year to release each one >_>;;
There’s going to end up being around 10 episodes in total (one for each manga volume).

Yakitate!! Japan

tokyo majin gakuen kenpuchou
ghost hunt

The anime and manga Tenjou Tenge is also good in a combat perverted way, its cool. If you dont know it, giv it a look see.

I like your sig. ^_^ Sorry, just had to say it

Oh yeah. Elfen Lied is a good one. 🙂

Heh, Elfen Lied. I always describe that to those who don’t know of it as Chobits gone wrong.

See, but I never liked Chobits. *hides from stones being thrown*

Guys, the topic is about shows that deserve more attention, not shows that you happen to like. There’s another thread for that. Elfen Lied gets a lot more attention that it deserves, so discussion about it has no place here.

…Elfen Lied gets a lot more attention than it deserves…

Fix’d :smrt:
Sorry Prak. It’s very rare to catch you out on a spelling mistake heh.
I guess you’re right though. All of my friends know of Elfen Lied, so it does get a lot of attention.

It’s more like a typo than an actual mistake.

Well… that’s what i meant heh. I don’t really use the word typo.
Anyways, probably shouldn’t go on about spelling mistakes (or typo’s if you prefer) as this is about anime titles that deserve more attention. Heh.

Going back on topic, I think that Pani Poni Dash! deserves more luff. Even if it kinda rips off Azumanga, I love all the nonsense comedy.

Nadia too, but on this case it’s probably forgotten because is too old (even if it’s Gainax vintage, I don’t hear a lot about it usually.)

How about Puni Puni Poemy lol. Sure it’s rated R and only has 2 episodes, but it’s some funny stuff.

Well, let’s see…I’ll just post the anime that I’ve watched and never see anyone mention.

Ever. D:

– Gundam Wing
– Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne
– Full Moon wo Sagashite
– Kiddy Grade
– Rockman.exe
– Shingetsutan Tsukihime

That’s all I can think of now. Not a huge list, but…some of the stuff is usually forgetten. D:

Hah. Megaman exe. That was an odd show.
I didn’t know that kamikaze jeanne was an anime too…

Not only odd, but awesome. So was the game, actually. 😀

The anime was fantastic, in my opinion. I haven’t read the manga though, so my view is horribly jaded. D:

Here where I live. (South-Western Pennsylvania) Anime is one of the most popular style of "TV show". However, a lot of anime gets over looked. Though Naruto and Bleach have made it to the top. Great anime have slipped through the cracks…

Whistle!
Hikura No Go
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
Mai Hime

Yes it’s Manga but…
Kingdom Hearts

Kekkaishi
Super robot wars OG

Maburaho, without doubt.

and, Corrector Yui, of course =P

Mermaid Melody: Pichi Pichi Pitch

– The lack of fansubs alone show it.

Tenshi No Shippo (Angel Tales) and Tenshi No Shippo Chu! (Angel Tales 2)

– Try and attaching yourself to the series.

well i think gokusen is far more better than anybody on its category…
Fruit basket is the anime that confuses me a lot

Princess Nine (Great Baseball Anime)
Black Lagoon
Any other Gundam series besides Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed.
Gunslinger Girls
Pretty Soldier Sasami (Funny Tenchi Spinoff)
Pani Pani Dash!

pokemon
dragonball z
naruto
one piece

Ergo proxy

No Dennou Coil??? I’m shocked! I don’t hear people talk about it much if at all.

pokemon
dragonball z
naruto
one piece

Do those REALLY need more attention?
Last I checked, they have more attention than they deserve.

As for me, I really can’t think of a series I’ve seen that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. The only thing I can think of is any anime adapted from a Ken Akamatsu manga. Not that they aren’t popular, I’m referring more to the fact that the quality of the anime has historically been by far inferior to the quality of the manga.

Since it hasn’t been said yet… I’m pretty sure that School Rumble, Full Metal Panic! and X/1999 should be taken in consideration.

School Rumble is just a freaking hilarious show… Reminds me just like Ranma 1/2. Full Metal Panic! is a mechanized comedy and X/1999 just has alot of meaning into it.

You’re right, I agree. And I heart Full the Metal Panic series

I read the entirety of X/1999, much like I’ve read a whole bunch of CLAMP’s stuff. I wasn’t impressed. I read 18 volumes of build-up only to reach an end without a climax. Is the end in some other series? Did I miss it or something? I’m so glad I read it instead of watching the anime because I would have been PISSED for spending so much time watching an unfinished emo piece of crap. There. I said it.
I love Full Metal Panic!, but the thing is that it was pretty damn big a few years ago. It came and went and is fondly remembered. Then it had an excellent sequel series and a hilarious spin-off series. While I’d love to see the adventures and romance of Kaname and Sagara continue, it’s time to move on to something new.

Well sorry I’ve never read the manga of X/1999 but the short-series did give an ending. So I’m not really sure what you are talking about. It did unravel near the end where everyone were both killing each other, till the final 2 guys.

You think there is going to be a 4th season to Full Metal Panic!? For the series to end off with the Tessa brother being a Whisper and a bad guy, seems very interesting to know.

MARK SPOILERS, YOU DAMN STUPID CUNT.

I have not yet finished watching that series, and spoiling the ending like that has made you my sworn enemy for life.

No Dennou Coil??? I’m shocked! I don’t hear people talk about it much if at all.

Oh, man! That was a seriously great anime with a premium time allocation, but I hardly hear anything about it, either. It was clever, amusing, and deep.

On the other hand, every time someone mentions Maburaho, I die a little bit. I didn’t hate it, but I want the time I spent watching it back. The problem was that it was just good enough to keep me hooked, but always left me feeling stupid for bothering to watch it.

Mahoraba, which I get the name confused with sometimes, is perfectly fine.

I think that these are some series that are really good and don’t get enough attention simply because the characters aren’t throwing fireballs at each other:

~Eyeshield 21 (It’s starting to get some attention)
~Whistle! (I started this one years ago and finally had to buy it from Hong Kong because I couldn’t get it anywhere else. Animenuke has it now though)
~Koi Suru Tenshi Angelique (Second season is coming out)
~Haruka Naru Toki no Naka de (and not the stupid OVA 3; It has nothing to do with the original series)
~Saiunkoku Monogatari (this is sorta women’s lib romance)
~Jyu Oh Sei (sci-fi fans will love this)

can’t think of anymore right now.

i liked midori no hibi, though i never finished watching it. i don’t think that is an awfully popular anime, anyways! sorry if it is well known

ps i am seriously thinking 2-4 week bans for people who don’t mark really massive spoilers would be in order. people really need to not do that shit, nothing worse than having a beloved series spoiled on you. =/

Souten no Ken
Black Lagoon
Ninin Ga Shinobuden
Hokuto no Ken
Fushigi Yuugi
Nana

also, Kaiji. KNEEL BEFORE MY AWESOME TASTES!

MARK SPOILERS, YOU DAMN STUPID CUNT.

I have not yet finished watching that series, and spoiling the ending like that has made you my sworn enemy for life.

Well I’m sorry, I didn’t know how to quote it as a spoiler and I forgot I shouldn’t be saying those things.:confused:

Well sorry I’ve never read the manga of X/1999 but the short-series did give an ending. So I’m not really sure what you are talking about. It did unravel near the end where everyone were both killing each other, till the final 2 guys.

I guess I’ll mark this as a spoiler just in case…..
You mean at the end where they totally don’t kill each other? In the manga a few characters get offed and everything builds up with some really pretentiously deep plot (that is to say its convoluted for the sake of convolution, but then all CLAMP work is like this). Then the two main guys realize its time to fight and head off towards their final battle and then the damn thing ends right there. That’s it. No more.
It’s utter crap, and I’m not going to waste my time on the anime. It COULD be different, but after having read the arduous entirety of the manga, I think it’s fair to say I gave the series a chance.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Just finished it, and I must say, it’s one of the best Anime’s I’ve seen in years. It reminded my why I love Anime to begin with, and it inspired me as well.

I’m not going to blame you for not liking it but from what you said there, it does end differently. Well for the short-series of X/1999 but not for the movie, the movie is so garbage; plot was so rushed.

Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman
Uchuu Senkan Yamato
Hokuto No Ken

Samurai Champloo.

^
with that horrible ending it has? NO WAY JOSE.

saint seiya, on the other hand, deserves way more attention.
at least here in mexico the craze for this anime is big.
but if it was as popular in the US, the games would be ported, more merchandise brought over, etc.

IMO my hime series, first i watched my hime and i was amazed on how good the story is, then i watched my otime and saw that they wanted to do the same thing as in my hime.
it was not as good as the first one, but it still moves you.
pity they now stopped doing anime’s and began doing manga’s….

Some of my favorites that havent been mentioned yet:

Gungrave
Hajime No Ippo
Escaflowne
Great Teacher Onizuka

d.gray-man

Gungrave deserves more attention, great anime in my opinion.

Well I/we know this is all popular, but when you ask people from school, etc., they either never heard of it, thinks it stupid, etc.,: Naruto!

People at school know better than you. Anyone who would say Naruto deserves more attention needs to have a cinder block made of Stupid-B-Gone dropped on their head.

Oh, I thought of another one. I didn’t even know this one existed until the second season hit.

Koi Suru Tenshi Angelique

also

Neo Angelique ~Abyss~

Both are good.

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei (the original and Zuko/ 2nd season, although I think it’s popularity is growing)
Gungrave
GTO
Dennou Coil

There are more but the list of anime I’ve seen is too big, and my mind is tired.

Gintama
Good Witch of the West
I can’t think of none anymore… but these I talk to my friends… they don’t know what it is… they are anime freaks to…..

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan
Sumomomo Momomo (as long as u dont mind a bad ending)
Gundam 0080
Area 88 OVA

People at school know better than you. Anyone who would say Naruto deserves more attention needs to have a cinder block made of Stupid-B-Gone dropped on their head.

I’m pretty sure that would just be Brain Cell(s)-B-Gone

Hmm, probably Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi and Sousei no Aquarion. I enjoyed both of them, though Sousei no Aquarion dragged a bit in the middle.

Off the top of my head:

8 Man After and Casshan: Robot Hunter OAVs.

8 Man After is one of my all time favorite animes. Lots of action, well executed story/plot, and interesting characters. 8 Man’s probably the only hero, that I know of, that needs to take drugs in order to power up/stay alive. :laugh:

Casshan: Robot Hunter was interesting and fun to watch, although, the story was a bit generic and short.

I haven’t seen either animes’ original TV series but I’m hoping that either franchise (especially 8 Man) can be revamped like Cyborg 009 or Cutey Honey.

Well my first post so I’ll throw in my hay penny…

-Pani Poni Dash! – Just started watching it made my ears ring it was so funny (Or was it the voices?) Either way its like an injection of insanity to my nervous system.
-All of the Full Metal Panics, Fumofffu included deserve more recognition!
-Neon Genesis Evangelion might need to be… well… dumbed down or… err… simplified to truly appeal to the bulk of the … World.

I haven’t really seen as many of the more obscure stuff that many here have!

***Edit Oh and how could I forget? Gunslinger Girl!***

The last 2 on the list are fairly well known.

True…

… (Epic Fail)

Gintama? I’d always thought this one usually gets a lot of attention. It’s so hilarious and it just keeps going on and on and on.

MAN!!!

Definitely Nabari no Ou and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei!
Nabari no Ou is a ninja-anime and much better than Naruto. (For it has fewer episodes *thank god!*) Its atmosphere is just great and the protagonist, Miharu, is far more interesting that Naruto is..
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is a parody. You should know many of the latest animes to understand the hints, but if you do, they’re great! :3

People at school know better than you. Anyone who would say Naruto deserves more attention needs to have a cinder block made of Stupid-B-Gone dropped on their head.

Holy lol.

I’ll go with a few older ones:

The Wallflower, GTO, Golden Boy, School Rumble, mother knows breast, Gungrave, Hitman, Berserk, Black Lagoon…One Piece could use a good dub to be more popular here

im gonna go ancient history here:

gekko kamen (AKA in latin america as CENTELLA)

big fan of him, a childhood hero to me.

TESTUJIN 28 (AKA ironman 28, the 80’s version, though the 60’s version created the mecha concept manga/anime)

another childhood hero, and a big fan… i mean, LOOK AT HIM! HES A BAD ASS ROBOT, and that policeman is mario, PROVE ME WRONG, i dare you.

gegege no kitaro (the 80-90’s version, though i havent seen the 2000’s version)

i never could really see much of this series because after 5 episodes the channel where it was aired canceled it, along with their entire anime block.

and last but DEFINETELY not least:

DRAGON QUEST (AKA in latin america as las aventuras de fly)

this one was cancelled after 46 episodes, but if a bunch of frenchies made possible the creation of the hades saga in anime (saint seiya), then millions of fans can make the continuation of DQ a reality.
i dare anyone to say the fight against hyunkel didnt have EPIC labeled everywhere.
besides, the ending has one of the most powerful lyrics i have ever heard, along with hunter X hunter’s ending. (in spanish, of course)

surprised at this but:
1)Mahoromatic – haven’t seen ANYONE mention either of its 2 series.
2)Coyote Ragtime Show – simply a great rebirth of the ever fantastic Cowboy Bebop
3)Jungre De Ikou – how can something with transformation sequences like this not be better known? plus the comic showcasing is off the chain!

i have to agree with whoever it was mentioning Cosplay Complex, it doesn’t get enough attention and is hilarious. Puni Puni Poemy isn’t that well known for a reason, it’s just not that good, granted it is funny in places but it isn’t quite high standard Anime.

i agree, i expected puni puni to be completely about random insanity.
but we get a poorly concieved maho-shoujo, uninteresting and boring 5 sisters (the one with the huge boobs annoyed me the most, and i like huge boobs).
and WAY fast dialogue to understand what they are saying and laugh if it was meant to be funny.
a friend showed me the first minutes of the show and i LOLD very hard, then got the 2 episodes on my own, and i partly regret it.
i was partly dissapointed.

Some of those anime series you posted Catastrophe look quite interesting…
I find there’s a lack of discussion on Cyborg 009, a lot of Studio 4c’s stuff, Osamu Tezuka’s old experimental shorts, anything by Koji Yamamura, Metropolis…

There are lots of anime I have seen which few people have. Some of the most unknown of them are:

– Sakigake!! Otoko Juku: A classic shonen school/comedy/action by Toei Animation based on the manga with the same name by Shonen Jump. It’s famous mainly in Japan. A fansub has been released but stalled after few episodes. Too shame.

– Sekushi Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo! Masaru-san: Just like Sakigake!! Otoko Juku, it was based on a manga released by Shonen Jump. The anime adaption was made by the famous anime director Akitaro Daichi (Akazukin Chacha, Fruits Basket, Kodomo no Omocha, Now and Then, Here and There e.t.c.). One of the most original, bizzare and hilarious comedies I’ve even seen. If you think Excel Saga was the most bizzare thing you’ve ever seen, think it again. 😛 Fortunately, there is a great, complete fansub for Sekushi Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo! Masaru-san.

Let’s Nupu Nupu
I have a friend of mine which is a huge fan of this anime and made me watch it as well. I have seen few episode (sometime I’ll watch the rest of them) and it was quite entertaining.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

Gasaraki
Planetes
The Legend of Black Heaven

Hunter X Hunter is the one title that I think deserves more attention. It has an instant likeability factor that is seldom seen, but I think it flies under most people’s radar.

I agree with Planetes, this is a great title.

GTO
Mushishi
Haibane Renmei
ef: tale of memories

Two that I can think of off the top of my head that NEED, nay, DEMAND more attention because of their awesomeness:

Phantom: Requiem of the Phantom
Golgo 13

Anyone who likes Noir would LOVE those two anime! Too bad they won’t be coming to the US for a long time(if ever:( ).

Oniisama E, The Big O and Ushio to Tora! Man, that anime didn’t get any justice! Ushio to Tora needed a tv series, not just 10 fuckin’ episodes!

Kino’s Journey.

Definitely one of the most beautiful and amazing anime ever, but it’s so unheard of.

Comic Party – The MOST hilarious anime ever. I wish I still had my DVDs >.< And there was another anime that I can’t remember the name of. But it had vampires, and there was a guy and a girl in it. It was very bloody… I only saw the first 3 or 4 episodes, but I want more! XD

Don’t know if these were mentioned before, haven’t read the whole thread:

GTO(Great Teacher Onizuka)
Very amusing Manga, but it doesn’t seem too popular…
Hayata No Gotoku(Hayate the Combat Butler)
Funny Story of an in-depted Butler who works for a rich ojou-sama in order to pay off his one hundred and fifty million dept
Fairy Tail
A story about a mage-guild called Fairy Tail, somehow it reminds me on One Piece
Rurouni Kenshin
The story of the former Hitokiri Battousai who has sworn to never kill again

and last but not least:
Bleach
i know this is rather well known, but around here nobody really seems to know it

I must say i’m from germany, maybe that’s why 😀

Battle Flag of the Star (series) aka Crest of the Stars; Banner of the Stars I, II, & III.

Epic anime set in space with a mature lover story (SEE: Not a harem or slapstick comedy, but a slow and buddy romance, like Clanned).

Deep, well thought out characters and nations/creatures.

One of the best animes of all time, but it gets little love.

🙁

I definitely agree with Mai HiME and Mai Otome, although a little less romance wouldn’t hurt >_>

But I can’t see anyone mentioning Mahoromatic. Thanks to a really nice story (that the descriptions usually don’t describe too well -_-), I guess it could use a little more love.

You have crossed the threshold into the realm of awesomeness.

Now improve your spelling and punctuation to earn a seat in the royal court.

Iria: Zeiram the Animation, it was one of my first anime, and I still love it. Yet people have never heard of it.

Vampire Princess Miyu; well, it may be a little more well known. But you rarely see anyone discussing it, or putting it in top ten lists, or anything.

Maria Holic; just pure win. Everyone should see it. <3

Iria: Zeiram the Animation, it was one of my first anime, and I still love it. Yet people have never heard of it.

Definitely. I first saw this with older brother who introduced me to anime and it’s great. The live action films are worth a view as well.

If Prak backs it I’ll watch it.

The best are:
Les Miserables: Shoujo Cosette,
Emma: Victorian Romance,
Saiunkoku Monogatari,
Sailor Moon,
Candy-Candy

No hablah Nah-si de gram-hur? 😛
But, I’d rather be part of the royal harem myself…Lafiel being there and all that.
😉
But, yes, it is a truly amazing series.
Too bad the book translations are slow as hell, same goes for the manga. Worse than ‘Berserk’ and that’s saying something!

Iria is a fine anime, grabbed the box set a while back. Well worth the purchase.

Maria Holic is a mix for me, it felt a little rushed and the ending just kind of…ended. I’d love to see a second season.

I actually bought the first 3 books, but gave up trying to follow along with the releases. Of course, I also gave up on Berserk, so I guess I’m just impatient.

I don’t really blame you.

Both the writers/artists behind both series take their sweat time.

At least Claymore gets 1 chapter per month; Berserk is luckily to get 3 out per year.

Blazing Transfer Student
Dragon League (I NEED THE LAST EPISODE), it’s like Megaman soccer anime. 😀

and recently I saw: Utawaremono (based off a PC game, but the anime is good)

—

If you’re looking for a good manga (kinda dark), Ubel Blatt. A story of revenge and it’s good.

I’ll tell ya two animes I’m shocked haven’t been given more attention. Lupin the 3rd and Cowboy Bebop.

In my honest opinion these two would work great as movies and It would be nice to see a Lupin complete series box set.

EXCEL SAGA- totally funny, but not mentioned.
PONI PONI DASH- another funny one, watch it with sub tittles and pay attention to the background school chalk boards, many jokes are hidden there.

You’re either insane or very ignorant. Everyone’s heard of those and most have seen at least part of them.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, definitely a must see. But at 110 episodes it may turn casual viewers away.

Aflame Inferno
Rosario Vampire (not really)
and if my avatar is in an anime
maybe that one
dont know if shes from an anime though

WTF you sound confused man

i knoow
but i really wanna find out if the
girl in my avatar is from an anime
and i wanna find out which one!!!

hmmm, dont the pic have a name you can search?

In the UK we barely get Any Anime any more so i’d have to all of them and Naruto now is censored and banned from 108 onwards hasnt been a new episode for about 9 months now thank god for the dvd;s and youtube

thats the thing
I tried entering the url into
a image search engine and got nothing
i found the image by searching dark anime angel on google

These two titles that I am about to recommend may or may not have already been mentioned by a previous poster (I’ll read the entire thread when I have time), so I apologize for repeats.

Natsume Yuujin-cho and Kure-nai are two very exemplary anime that really instill in me a sense of gratitude for knowing what anime is — otherwise, I would have never have found, or watched, these two gems. They are both animated by the study Brains Base, which also did Baccano!, and are slice-of-life anime; however, don’t be intimidated by the genre, as both series proceed at a pace that feels just right – not too slow, and not too fast. The protagonists of both story are highly likeable as they demonstrate a strong and altruistic qualities that we rarely see in the many mediocre anime that flood the channels today.

The plot of Natsume Yuujin-cho can be compared to Musushi, as it is based heavily on Japanese folklore. The protagonist, Natsume, is ostracized by both his family and by society because of his ability to see yokai and ayakashi — the supernatural creatures of Japan. He is seen as eccentric, perhaps even frightening, and this takes a toll on him both mentally and physically. As a teen, and orphaned at a young age, he’s already used to moving from relative to relative. The tale starts with him settling at his most recent home, with some distantly-related albeit kind relatives.

Kure-nai features the protagonist, Kurenai Shinkurou, who shares many similar aspects to Natsume. They have both undergone what can be described, more-or-less, as dreadful childhoods. Now, as a teen of 16 (Natsume is also the same age, if I’m not mistaken), Kurenai supports himself by working as a dispute mediator, and the story starts with him being approached by his employers to undertake the task of protecting a young daughter of an incredibly powerful, plutocratic family.

There is not a single character that isn’t like-able (more like there’s too many, XD), the art and style of both are very beautiful, and the story of both animes are some of the most original and enjoyable ones I have experienced, anime or not. Truth-be-told, I can say without a doubt that these two anime, along with perhaps one or two more, tie for my all-time favourite anime. If you have the time, I highly, highly recommend that you give them it a try.

I say Gei-Ra is an very good short Anime Series that needs more attention.

I also think Princess Nine hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves, since most people who see it, says it’s a great Anime series.

Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto!
Can’t believe there are so few people who’ve heard of it! –" It’s a great anime =)

"Astrofighter Sun Red" is a fun anime that i think a lot of people would enjoy…

and while "Gintama" is pretty popular in Asia as it’s probably the 4th most popular anime/manga there behind One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto, it’s not that well known in North America just yet. Gintama is probably my favorite title from jump at this point.

Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi

I saw this a little while back on G4 and stuck with it mainly because it was from Gainax and I didn’t have any other anime to watch. It was merely okay imo. I’m not much into inanity in anime so it really didn’t interest me too much.

Yu Yu Hakusho
Magical Shopping Arcade abenobashi

"Sword Of The Stranger", It’s a MUST see!!
I have it on Blu-Ray it’s fantastic. One of the most underrated movies of 2009.
The fight scenes are epic.

1. Petite Princess Yucie
2. Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
3. Jubei-chan: The Ninja Girl
4. Princess Nine (Didn’t see all of it but what I watched I loved.)
All I can really think of really.
(If I had actually seen The Amazing 3 I would have put it up here… Wanna watch it so bad.)

thats the thing

Even though I don’t remember her name I believe she is one of many charterers created by the Team Shanghai Alice or A.K.A. Touhou games. There old fashioned parralel level shoot em ups. I’ve played them and there pretty good, try looking up the scarlet devil from the same series.

– Starship Operators (13 episodes)
– Scrapped Princess (26 episodes)
– KO Century Beast (7 episodes)

Souten Kouro.

its a really good anime,and i never saw anyone talk about it,even though for over a month now from episode 12 onwards it isnt subbed on ANY website,which can drive people insane.

Speed Racer! This should of been released Uncut it had a Good ending but I had a problem keeping up with the sped up voices It should of been redubbed Like Gatchaman.

Cromartie High School
Gungrave

EXCEL SAGA- totally funny, but not mentioned.
…
That’s one hell of a crack head show. I have it in 480p xD

Is Outlaw Star popular? I’m not sure. It seems to be overshadowed by Cowboy Bebop depending on which little community I poke around. I wouldn’t put those two together, Outlaw Star is just something else and it’s badass as well.

I would say Outlaw Star is somewhat underrated; I loved the show while it aired, but never really encountered anyone who knew much about it.

I think Outlaw Star did get overshadowed by Cowboy Bebop because they were both introduced, to many people, by Cartoon Network.

I enjoy both for different reasons myself.

Cowboy Bebop made a great, if lacking in the constant plot, series with (at the time) edgy animation and style.

Outlaw Star has a great story that manages to keep the entire crew interesting and is one of the FEW animes where the ending doesn’t leave you hanging or questioning.

I saw both when they first aired on CN and I was a bit younger, and was infatuated with their overall edginess, breaking the mold of ‘friendlier’ shows on at the time.

Flag

I injoyed Outlaw Star and once I’m done with the Universal Century Gundam arc I’ll be rewatching Cowboy Bebop.

Flag

:confused:

:confused:

Flags of Our Fathers maybe?

Flag was a 13 episode mecha anime produced by Answer Studio back in 2006.

SOUL EATER…its good….for details ull jus hav to watch it and see 😛

Cyber City OEDO 808 and Genocyber. Older titles sure, but both are good anime.

Blame. they should have made more.

SOUL EATER…its good….for details ull jus hav to watch it and see 😛

well, soul eater is kinda popular…
not naruto popular (though i HATE naruto) but close.

a current anime that i think deserves more atention (in this part of the globe) is one piece. really, this show is about PIRATES! pirates are extremely cool.
there are many MANY animes based on ninjas, and when i finally watch something different, it gets overshadowed by the shittiest ninja-based anime ever? PLEASE.

I’d say Katekyo Hitman Reborn! if u read the manga the action sequences are way better done then the anime version but both versions are freakin hilarious

The Third, Elemental Gelade, Guin Saga, Gensomaden Saiyuki, Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, Ring Ni Kakero, Koukaku No Regios, Kenran Butoh Sai: Mars Daybreak.

Nana, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Kimagure Orange Road, Maison Ikkoku (of Rumiko Takahashi’s big four works, I’d call this the most underrated), Key the Metal Idol, Kino’s Journey, Trapeze/Kuuchuu Buranko, Guin Saga

Generator Gawl, Genocyber, Brain Powerd.

These came to my head cause I never saw anyone talking to me about them.

Heavy Metal L-Gaim, it’s an obscure anime title I think is a good mecha series. Also The Five Star Stories, it deserved more than a 65-minute film.

i would say Jubei-Chan and Samurai Deeper Kyo both are awesome animes

Jubei-Chan line: "i am Yagyu Jubei the Second"

Samurai Deeper Kyo line: "Can You Hear It, Can You Hear the Wind"

Gintama- it’s not as popular as I thought
Cyber Team In Akihabara- it’s not popular in english

I still have to see that cyber team thing. I saw it years ago in my country but I did not followed that much. but I was pretty curious about it.

Gintama- it’s not as popular as I thought

Gin Tama does need more love.

lots of it

^Yea, Gintama FTW

Right now I’d have to say Tiger & Bunny. I know it just started but the title and the fact that it’s about superheroes can be an instant turn-off for people. However, it has a really unique and culturally relevent premise and shows an incredible amount of promise for this spring anime season.

-ARIA one of the best slice of life shows ever, a bunch of people I know in IRL and in the internet still dont know what it is

-Binbou Shimai Monogatari, literally no one knows about it. It’s about a heartwarming story about how two poor girls have to get through life through the love for one another.. and helping other people and vice-versa.

-Hidamari Sketch, another slice of life show it’s made by SHAFT surprised it’s not more well known

-New Getter Robo, a pretty cool manly mecha show. I like it about as much as TTGL.

-Pani Poni Dash, a pretty underrated/overlooked "crazy comedy" anime. In some ways like Azumanga Daioh but SHAFT’d.

-Kaleido Star an interesting premise about a girl joining a CIRCUS. Is actually more serious than it sounds, there is quite a bit of character development.

-Pani Poni Dash, a pretty underrated/overlooked "crazy comedy" anime. In some ways like Azumanga Daioh but SHAFT’d.

I couldn’t really get into Pani Poni Dash, for reasons I’m not going to discuss here.

I liked PPD but the English dub is almost intolerable 🙁

I liked PPD but the English dub is almost intolerable 🙁

It’s more than just the English dub that are intolerable, imo.

I’m not sure how well known either of these are but a lot of people i know dont know them. GeGeGe no Kitaro(not sure if thats the proper name) and Kyo Kara Maoh. they are both pretty good.

Also there is one about a guy who gets a young girl for a hand.. cant remember much about it other than it was hillarious.

Elemental Gelade was another good one

Basilisk. I hate that whenever I mention what this anime is about most people immediatly say ahh I bet it’s just a Naruto ripoff. Basilisk IMO is a fantastic anime and deserves alot more attention then it gets.

Noir and Paranoia Agent definitely. I’ll admit I forgot to finish Noir for a while cause I listened to the music so much xD

Anyone who would say that Basilisk is a ripoff of Naruto is an idiot who clearly hasn’t seen one or the other.

Noir and Paranoia Agent definitely. I’ll admit I forgot to finish Noir for a while cause I listened to the music so much xD

I loved paranoia angent, thats a pretty underrated series xD I think kiba needs more love too. Not naruto’s kiba but the anime series kiba XD good series 😮

I don’t know if it’s been said in this thread yet: Witch Hunter Robin.
<3

I loved elemental gelade as well even though the dub wasn’t that good -.- and kyou kara maou was also good 😀 remember when they both used ta come in IA tv?

In my neck of the woods:

Getter

Captain Harlock

Hokuto No Ken

Haibane Renmei and Mushishi, though both start slow and take some time to get into.

I wish Last Exile was expanded on.

Haibane Renmei and Mushishi, though both start slow and take some time to get into.

Those are great

Nobody in Japan seems to like Elfen Lied anymore

Elfen lied was indeed a great thing. I thought I would not like it.
Guess what?
I love it.!!!!

Gintama

I’ve heard good things about that series yet I never got back to it. I remember when it first came out and I saw 10 episodes for it I think.

Gintama, without a doubt is something messed up but great XDXD
I have not seen all the series, but from what I saw … dammit, it is great 😀

Terra e – one of the best animes ever made. It has a slow start but it really gets better by the episode. And the ending is incredibly satisfying.

Baccano.

GTO, Cromartie High School, Ninja Nonsense.

Gintama, without a doubt is something messed up but great XDXD
I have not seen all the series, but from what I saw … dammit, it is great 😀

I think they’re releases DVDs for that now in america 😮

Teen Titans…

Gunbusters had some pretty good moments in it.

Betterman by Sunrise’s internal Studio 7, from 1999.

I absolutely loved an eerie atmosphere and mysterious plot combined with comical situations.
Great pace, story progression and an ultimate reveal of the main antagonistic entity.
Scientific and psychological terms of the show are based on real life aspects.
Excellent character development and believable personal issues. Art by Takahiro Kimura and is excellent as always.
Overall it is one of my favorite "unknown" shows. A unique combination of comedy, horror, sci-fi and action.

Hopefully someday Japanese will re-release it on Bluray, I’ll be very glad to purchase the original from overseas.

Betterman confused the fuck out of me at times but it wasn’t wholly unpleasant.

Maybe a second runthrough will help me better understand it.

Really? While I think the show is a little more intelligent then other mecha/sci-fi series, it’s actually not all that complicated.
The basic knowledge of biology and psychology is enough to fully enjoy it. They don’t just throw a bunch of smart words at the viewer, that would require him to do an extensive external research in order to get a better idea of whatta hell is going on – no, they go along with it and explain (or remind) what means what.

I don’t consider myself being too nerdy or "intellectually advanced" and was able to follow the story without getting lost.

But just like any other good show it should have something new for a viewer to learn or make him want to learn, and Betterman did that for me just fine.

All in all it was a near perfect blend of smart, spooky, funny and action-oriented type of entertainment for me.
If you couldn’t get into it the first time, but though it had a potential – by all means you should give it another try.

I watched this trailer a few days ago and I thought it was pretty cool! It’s for this anime PES. It’s an anime from Toyota, and it’s nicely animated. Not a lot of people have been talking about it except for a couple of blogs I’ve seen, but yeah here check it out: PES peace eco smile – Official Trailer [HD] – YouTube (http://goo.gl/mGuFZ)

Gunbusters was fun. Plus it’s only 6 episodes.

The 6-episode Murder Princess, because it has a very funny story set up in a medieval-like world, funny characters and a very nice seiyuu cast.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, a tale of Justy Ueki Tylor, a young man who joins the space force for an "easy life" (free food, free clothing, free room and board, sleeping all day in a cryo-capsule on the way to the front) and is assigned by his superiors to the be captain of the destroyer Soyokaze, in the hopes that it will lead him to a quick death. It doesn’t. The Soyokaze is mostly a ship of misfits and ne’er do wells with a compliment of marines whose favorite activities include mutiny and fighting with the pilots and mechanics. As those around him try to decide if he’s an idiot or a genius a war starts brewing between the United Planets Space Force and the Raalgon Galactic Empire, and Tylor and his crew are right in the middle of it.

three

Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru – If you can’t stand incest in any way, then don’t watch it.
Papa to Kiss in the Dark – I don’t think that it’s really ffamous (not even recognized by yoi fangirls).
Saishū Heiki Kanojo: Another Love Song – The anime got a lot of attention but I think that the OVA didn’t.

Mushi-Shi – great slice of life show. nonschematic – it’s just telling simple but emotional srories.

Outlaw Star. I want to see Gene Starwind make a name for himself, and what adventures he and his crew get into.

I like The Tatami Galaxy(yojouhan shinwa taikei) very much. The story is very interesting, but too sad that not many people know it.

Gunbusters was fun. Plus it’s only 6 episodes.

Gunbusters. "Space is not a vacuum!" Totally awesome.

Samurai 7 & B-Daman Bakugaiden were awesome. The former is mature themed with loads of action while the B-Daman Bakugaiden series beats all the other B-Daman anime series till today hands down.

yeah .. mixed feeling .. some of them are worthy to get into notice while otters are just titles not so effective

Kidou Shin Seiki Gundam X

The shortest and the most "hated" Gundam series… which is weird because it’s also the _best_ Gundam series 🙂 Try it, it’s awesome~

i’ve been watching the original Saint Seiya and i think its great. i’d only seen a few random eps and some of the Knights of the Zodiac eps that were on Toonami about ten years ago. Saint Seiya Omega is a lot of fun as well.

– Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken (anime-koi is translating it onto English while I translate it into German)
– Toshokan Sensou

Chihayafuru is amazing, god knows how the second season got the green light considering the sales for the first season bombed. Been trying to pick up the Manga to carry it on but it’s just not the same 🙁

Aoi Bungaku – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoi_Bungaku) – with Masterpiece’s subs. Amazing.

Mushishi – exceedingly simple and complex at the same time. Amazing artwork as well.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei – Black comedy at its finest.
Gankutsuou – Can’t say I’ve seen a better or more stylistic adaptation of the original novel.

^ haven’t seen Mushishi but I agree about Zetsubou Sensei and Gankutsuou. Works from GONZO range from 1 to 10 (on a scale of 10).
Can be a total schlock, can be a bloody masterpiece. Gankutsuou is closer to the latter.

Gintama – most of the people watched the first season only (and its not that bad), this anime completely changed at *episode 59*

Danganronpa -Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei- the ANIMATION

Seriously, there is STILL no Blu-ray version subbed! Did you know the episode 13 is over 34 minutes long in Blu-ray, and no one hasn’t subbed it… That’s pure blasphemy I say… People really shunned the anime because it was too short. I think the fast-pacedness of the anime was awesome, it made me interested in the game – and that’s is the whole INTENTION of director’s, to make people play the actual game. I truly wish DR2 will be animated too someday, but maybe the cold-heartedness of people scared Lerche and Spike-Chunsoft… 🙁

i would really like a full modern anime series covering the 12 No Need For Tenchi! Manga Volumes and the 10 The All-New Tenchi Muyo! Manga Volumes (fully uncensored and modern animation)

Been watching Aku no Hana (7/13) and it is one of the best anime I have ever seen. Believe me, they still do GOOD anime!

Guilty Crown
Tsubasa Chronicle
Tokyo ESP

-Not Mushishi
-Not Kingdom 1/2
-Not Planetes

Well, looks like Aku no Hana anime was for only Part 1, and I’m pretty much sure there won’t be Part 2… just warning.

i would really like a full modern anime series covering the 12 No Need For Tenchi! Manga Volumes and the 10 The All-New Tenchi Muyo! Manga Volumes (fully uncensored and modern animation)

I’ll go to say imo of all the early toonami animes, Tenchi Muyo seems underrated. Screw all these DBZ movies, we need more Tenchi.

Venus Wars
Arion
Chirin no Suzu
Cyber City Oedo 808
Saint Seiya
Aoki Ryuusei SPT Layzner
Himitsu: The Revelation

OVERMAN King Gainer by Tomino Yoshiyuki (yes, the Gundam dude), it has somewhat weird "mood" in it, which I like. Really cool series.

I would love a remake of Ranma 1/2. You can still find many of the original episodes uploaded on youtube. Man I spent too many hours of my childhood with that series.

Personally: Deltora Quest. Actually liked it a little.
Oh and Elemental Gelade.

The original Patlabor series. The second OVA was so good!
The movies are good, but slow and people have no idea how much fun the tv series was. It was speculative sci-fi at it’s most plausible within a completely congruent and well considered world.

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

It’s great, and so underrated… :\

Juuni Senshi Bakurestu Eto Rangers. I love that show. Too bad it doesn’t have as many fans as some other anime. I recommend it to those who love anthropomorphic animals.

Elemental Gelade
Hunter x Hunter 2011
Tsubasa Chronicle
Terror in Resonance

The works of Masaaki Yuasa, particularly The Tatami Galaxy and Ping Pong the Animation.
The creative energy that has gone into these and his other shows is dizzying.
They’re not for everyone, but if they’re for you, they’re everything.

Ryuusei no Rockman (such a good anime)

Magic Kaitou

(If you are in semi girly things: Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne)
