its licensed so that no reason
the games are popular to an extent

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

The anime? Probably because it's old and based off a game, that is only somewhat more popular than this series.

Honestly, I thought the anime was mediocre at best too. I would love to see a remake of this series with modern animation and to include the Origin plot line as well.

yah this, I mean if memory serves me right most ys fans think the anime sucks or dont want to waste time watching it. Its the same with almost every game to anime adaptation thats not originally from a visual novel.

and even then ys's fanbase isnt even that large to begin with nor are the stories all that great for most of them. I played them cause they were surprisingly fun.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Hey, whoa, the story in Ys isn't that bad... I mean... well... Okay, it's not as good as some other games (see: Final Fantasy/Chrono Trigger/Phantasy Star), but it's definitely better than average. Though this is coming from someone who grew up on them.

I love Ancient Book of Ys I and YS II. I would like to call myself the no.1 fan of the YS world, but I unfortunately I can' because I played to only one game, Oath in Felghana, and I didn't grew up on this serie, I just know it for almost 4 years. Anyway, I feel strong bond with this serie and the entire story, I rewatched the serie a few times, don't remember how many. Every time it was such an enormous excitement and a desire to get more of it. I even considered drawing my own fanmade manga. I don't know either why this is so underrated anime. It is so gripping!
Those who complain that "the plot is average" and "the characters are shallow", they don't see the incredibility of the whole- when I look back it's like some sort of legend for me, it is classic of fantasy adventure! Really. And those guys who underrate this are influenced by other anime or film or whatever which prevent them from seeing what a treasure this anime hides inside.
Hugely valuable!

THIS IS THE BLACK PEARL, DARK FACTOR HAD IT, AND WE'RE GOING TO DESTROY IT NEXT ANIME TOO, BECAUSE WE'RE MAKING SHIT UP AT THIS POINT, SO WE'LL PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN YS 2. ADOL DOESN'T KILL DALLES, THEY TAKE THE MOST SATISFYING VICTORY OF THE ENTIRE SERIES AND GO "OPE, LOOKS LIKE WE NEED A DUES EX MACHINA TO SHIT ALL OVER THE GAME." I AM TRIGGERED BY THIS ANIME. I AM SO INVESTED IN WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOIN' PUNK SIMULATOR 1985 THAT I'M POSTING ON 4 YEAR OLD THREADS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING I CAN JUST INGORE BECAUSE IT'S THAT. FUCKING. AGGRIVATING. Tl;Dr: I am triggered, pls send help. They do mess up a lot of stuff though. The games are really great.

Maybe they need to make a remake or something to attract new people into YS? I liked it a lot.

In general YS is underrated, see it on the bright side, less whiners like the FF series.
