Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san

TBS Wonderful was a late night anime programming block from September 19, 1997 to September 26, 2002.

Anime where the average episode runtime is under 20 minutes

The parameters for this list are as follows:
- Episode duration between 30 seconds and 14 minutes
- Episode count of 4 or more episodes total
- Standalone Series only (Sorry, Koyomimonogatari)
- First seasons stand for the whole franchise

Here's a bunch of goodies lacking love, many of which are obscure, others just underappreciated. Almost all of them lean more towards being lighthearted, cute and silly. (Not necessarily all at once.) Lots of adventure, too! Keep in mind that they're not all "must-see", but this should still be a great source for finding something new and enjoyable.

Welcome to my Obscurity series, which I hope will help you delve deeper into the depths of anime, particularly the classics.

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in 2001 or earlier, with under 35,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 7 or higher.

I'm also not including anything that I've already included on my Good Stuff list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9517

It is perhaps worth noting that I rate things entirely on gut feeling. It's just, "I like that, that was good, it gets a 7.", that's the whole process. I can also find enjoyment in just about anything and there's very little that bothers me.

Maed with <3 on https://archive.4plebs.org/s4s/thread/10485791

some lesser known shows, movies, etc. some have been very surprising gems to me. some mind-blowing, some heart-warming, some merely interesting, some just outright hilarious!

Remakes are allowed, but things like Sequels (With exceptions), Pilots or Filler Movies aren't

Well, how should I explain this? All the weirdest things in the weirdest box, what do you expect lol
Whether things are weird or not depends on each person's point of view, when you see too many weird things, your mind will consider those things as normal and not as weird as the first time...

Anime with "me and the boys" vibe.
