With all the seasonal anime released, it’s so easy for anime series to get lost. There’s about an approximate 20+ anime released each season and only the most popular gain recognition.
What’s the most underrated anime you’ve seen?

Very interesting question. Some underrated anime I like would be Hikaru no Go, Shinesman, Texhnolyze, The Place Promised in Our Early Days, and Yugo the Negotiator to name a few.

I don’t really know about underrated but plenty of decent to good anime just fly under the radar as each season usually has 2 or 3 shows that have the whole community engaged and everything else kind of has smaller clusters of followers and normally those shows don’t get a lot of conversation after the season ends.

That’s definitely very true. Even then there tends to be shows that keep every engaged during the season but then don’t maintain any hype after 😅

One anime I watched episodes of years ago was Goldfish Warning, aka Kingyo Chuuihou. Just thinking back to some of my favorite parts still cracks me up. I’d love to see it get subbed one day although as a gag series, it’s very niche.

You can see a lot of the visual styles/gags being carried over to the first season of Sailor Moon. (And SM has some references to it too!)

Good question. I’d say… Our Home’s Fox Deity. Genre-bending fun that manages to provide great entertainment no matter what route it’s taking to present the story.

I think I actually saw someone talking about Our Home’s Fox Deity the other month! I remembered the yellow fox and her human form reminded me a lot of Inuyasha from the pictures I saw

It’s defintiely wortth watching. The fox is great fun. It can’t remember what gender it was originally so switches between male and female whenever it feels like it.

So Kaze no Yojimbo comes immediately to mind. I would probably follow that with Flag. Depending on your mood Otogi Zoshi or Argentosoma?

A highly underrated anime that I’ve wanted to do an extensive anime theme event for is Monster by Naoki Urasawa. The story, suspense and mystery make this series something that’s hard to forget once you watch it. I’ve introduced my girlfriend to it and plenty of friends, DARN YOU JOHAN!

Monster is amazing! I’m so surprised it’s not more popular as well! I think initially when I saw a few screenshots the style made me glance over it but once reading the synopsis how can you not get hooked 😀
