| http://myanimelist.net/anime/2158/ A solid space opera based on a manga from the late ‘70s, it influenced a lot of Japanese science fiction and you can see it in modern Hollywood serials as well. |

| Yeah, all those really don't come into mind much for some anime fans. Including etlists. |
| I can't believe this is underrated - Forza! Hidemaru http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=18005. |
| http://myanimelist.net/anime/1251/Fushigi_no_Umi_no_Nadia ^This show is pretty overlooked on here (in Japan it seems to get the attention it deserves, was even re-broadcast recently in HD) despite being by Eva's director. Aimed at kids originally but well done to the point all can enjoy it.The animation is pretty fluid for a show of it's time, too (as expected from Gainax) Here's the opening: Plus a nice (and emotional) piece from it's OST: One thing to keep in mind if anyone tries it though: there are these filler episodes in the middle of it that detract from the experience and it's better to just skip them. To know which to skip, read this thread: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=402151 DBZ24 said: http://myanimelist.net/anime/2158/ A solid space opera based on a manga from the late ‘70s, it influenced a lot of Japanese science fiction and you can see it in modern Hollywood serials as well. Is it true it's similar to LOGH? Since both are space operas, and all. Definitely worth a look, at least. |

It sure is, if you liked Terra e... then there's a good chance you might like it as well, since they're both space operas and all, and vice versa. Plus LOGH is really good, it's not overlooked here on MAL though. |

KakaKarrotCake said: Why is One Piece so ignored? Now that shits the most underrated Actually, I don't think that it is at all. Considering that it didn't have a successful TV run, it is one of the Most popular series ever. The only bad thing is that it will forever have a black mark on it because of that terrible, in the running for worst dub ever, 4kids dub. That turned dub turned out more hater than fans, and I can't believe they pulled that off since One Piece is the best shonen since DBZ.

| Wow, a lot of younger fans here. You know, I will never under stand all the hating that is done in the anime community. Its not like being an anime fan means that you have joined some sort of contest where you win somehow by being the biggest (insert anime title) fan and hating all other anime ever you win something. I paticularly find One Piece haters distasteful because they watch 1 episode and think that a 700+ episode series is encapsulated in 1 episode. I have never meet a single person that watches the first 100 episodes and hates One Piece... even the former haters. But, I digress, it great that you love your own shows and that you might not like others, but how about we keep that to yourselves. I will never understand the narrow minded anime fans when being an anime fan proves that you are open minded to begin with. Sarcasm is not translated through writing well. Oh, but I got another few to add to my Underrated list: Nasume Yuujinchou Sword of the Stranger Ergo Proxy |

| I agree, Mugi. From now on I promise to never dis any anime or anyone for liking an anime I don't. I'll just have nothing to say on the subject. I will encourage everyone to watch anime that I like and tell them why they should see it. Again (why do we have two threads on the same subject?), around here "underrated anime" seems to mean old anime that no one is talking about much anymore - anime that was very much appreciated at when it was new. In my mind, "underrated anime" is anime that never did get the attention it deserved. I don't mind. I think the old good old stuff needs to be promoted too. I wish I could rename the club to reflect both. Maybe I should give up on trying to re-build this club and just start my own. See the other thread for my recommendations on actually underrated anime. |

| Hi chynonm! Welcome to MAL and the Unappreciated Anime club. We need more manga people here. Good post. You didn't just throw out a list and say you liked them, you told us about them. Now I want to go read and/or see most of those (some I already have). How far did you get with Gantz? It actually does make sense once they get around to explaining things. For most of the series it is a big mystery - one that you will never guess. It just keeps growing more and more hair. It just ended recently at 400+ chapters and you reminded me that I need to go read the last one. For me it was a manga made out of pure awesome. In case you were wondering, the live-action movies were awful. +18 manga? You mean hentai? Most people think hentai is just porno, and mostly they're not wrong, but some of them have really good stories. It's good to have someone who can point them out. |

| You're that far into Gantz and still say it makes no sense? You must not be a sci-fi fan. =0D So 18+ vs hentai is much like I said but more so with a more formal distinction. Hentai is for wankers and 18+ is for grownups. MAL's rules are fairly clear on the subject. Basically don't get too graphic. Remember, there are women and children about. |

| How many of you remember Pythagoras Switch? You could say it was sort of Japan's answer to Sesame Street. It wasn't an anime but there were animations in it. It was known for contraptions that did nothing very cleverly: And the Algorithm March which was done with the help of a wide variety of people like for instance ninjas: Look closely and you will see that the motions interlock with each other. |

| Here is a short list of anime that was genuinely underrated - good stuff that never did get much attention: Bartender Chuuka Ichiban! Dennou Coil Eve no Jikan (Movie) Flag Freedom Gallery Fake Hanada Shounen-shi Hen Zemi Hipira-kun Well, maybe not so short. That takes us through 'H'. I could talk about any of them but this post is already too long. If you have questions just ask. |

| Man, Chuuka Ichiban was one of the older anime I've watched about a decade ago. Though I knew at the back of my mind that it was a 1990s anime, it was great. In fact, Chuuka Ichiban! remains the only cooking-related anime I've watched so far. That's how good it is. |
   |
| DT, If Chuuka Ichiban! was the only cooking anime you've seen, how good could it be? Like every other cooking anime I have seen (Yakitate!! Japan and Yumeiro Pâtissière) and the Food Network it devolves into an endless chain of cooking competitions. I nevertheless like them all. Kino's Journey was good, Carlo. If it had another season or two it just might have developed a plot. I liked it well enough to buy it. Baccano was good and gets the attention it deserves. I have that too. You have to love any anime with Freddy Mercury as a character. I picked up Cromartie High at Best Buy for $15.00 Score! I don't believe this, chynonm. I was going to ask you about a manga I started reading a long time ago and want to go back to it but I forgot it's title. Then I decided to look at the ones you recommended first. The first one on your list, Akumetsu, was that very manga. =0) |

| I really don't know how to explain it, Grin. Maybe it's because there was something about Chuuka Ichiban! that made it interesting to watch. As for subsequent food-themed anime, maybe it's because I was busy tuning in to other anime at the time that Yakitate!! Japan and Yumeiro Pâtissière were still new. carlomandeguz said: Kino's Journey is a show that isn't talked about nearly as often as it should be, because it's fantastic. I second this one, carlo. And I share the same sentiments with Grin on this one. Honestly, with the world being a very big place, there'd still be more places for Kino and Hermes to visit and learn from. Just as how I'm not that much into food-related and sports anime, the same can be said for mech anime. Among the few that I loved at the start of the 2000s was the Vandread series. I loved the plot, and the animation seemed more futuristic; so much that, in my opinion in terms of animation alone, Vandread surpasses that of Gundam SEED's. Come to think of it, Vandread's first season was aired in 2000, and its sequel the year after. Way earlier than Gundam SEED (2002) and its Destiny sequel (2004). |

| For those of you who are a fan of Hanada Shounen-shi, you might like Chie the Brat (Movie). It's about a poor fiesty 10 yr old girl who is "the most unfortunate girl in Japan". It's really a great comedy and the girl is similar to Ichiro Hanada. The movie spawned a 39 episode series but I haven't seen that. |
| As far as I have been able to tell, Jym, I am the only one here who has seen Hanada Shounen-shi. Jarinko Chie (Chie the Brat) looks interesting. I couldn't find it with a quick look. I'll have to look harder when I have more time. |

Both are also on torrent sites. Please note that I did not provide any active links. |
Joam said: I, from time to time happen to come across a conversation with people about animes and why I don't like one of them, but I don't just go like: "this anime is sh*t", or something like that, I tell them why I don't like it and show them my points. Then the person proceeds show me why they like and what they like about it and we come to a conclusion, generally being one of those two: 1: We have different tastes. 2: I've not watched it with the right mindset/in the right moment. And then we are settled and no one is sad/angry at each other. PS: Natsume Yuujinchou is freaking awesome. :D PS2: Does this platform support multi-quoting? PS3: If anyone checks my list, you'll only find the ones I like better/the more recent ones. I've watched tons of anime that are not on my list. Well said. I noticed on your profile that you were planning on watching Natsurio Kiseki, it looks like I will enjoy that also. I've seen the others you plan to watch and they are great. Here are a few anime that I think are special and probably underrated: Kemonozume - A brutal adult love story with cannibalism, gore, sex, nudity, and very creative & artistic, Man loves a beautiful monster. Future Boy Conan - Early work directed and storyboarded by Hayao Miyazaki _This has all the Miyazaki magic that you come to expect in his Studio Ghibli career. Wonderful! Katanagatari - unique, dialogue driven. Main character is a Human sword. Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone - A controversial and interesting study of teen relationships and sibling love. Shiki - Classic Vampire story with a twist, who is more evil, Humans or Vampires? Emotional, tragic, bloody gore fest. Feel sad for both groups. Jormungand - Action, adventure about charismatic female arms dealer who has a scheme for world peace. Nice. |
| YnS FTW! |

| @ Joam - Your English is very good. It's a lot better than I am in whatever tongue is your native language. I couldn't have been more eloquent the pointlessness of hating any anime or anyone for liking it. @ Jym - I second your recommendations. Kemonozume was great, I would liken the story more to Romeo & Juliet. Future Boy Conan was a lot of fun to watch as was Katanagatari. I haven't seen Shiki and Yosuga no Sora, but I am taking steps to change that. Very, very, very slowly. =0) Right now I'm re-watching Hanada Shounin-shi. That show is even better than I remember. So much so that I don't even mind having The Backstreet Boys running around in my head. Joam said: Me too, but UTorrent says it'll be another two weeks before I'll have it. Grr!Jym[b said: Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone - A controversial and interesting study of teen relationships and sibling love. Just watched thanks to your recommendation. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It's sooooooooooooooooooo good. <3 <3 |

GrinfilledCelt said: Me too, but UTorrent says it'll be another two weeks before I'll have it. Grr! I watched it on animeultima.tv under "Yosuga no Sora". I checked and it is still listed if you want to start on it now. |
| Actually I have it now, Jym. UTorrent always tells me outrageous lies about how long downloads will take. It's almost as bad as the GAO. It only gives figures based on the current download rate. Now I just have to find time to watch it. |

| I've read the manga for Yosuga No Sora(not sure if I ever added it to my list), and I'm going to be honest when I say I didn't really like it enough to watch the anime. I also pretty sure that the manga was toned down for some reason but it got its point across. I guess it was like a advertisement for the anime. Just added it to my list now.... |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
| I like slice-of-Life shows. Doesn't matter if they are aimed at males or females. Just watched a sweet, cute girls anime called Natsuiro Kiseki (A Summer-Colored Miracle). It is a simple quiet story of 4 friends who are spending their last summer vacation together before on of them moves away. It is a well written, heartfelt show about growing up, dreams etc with very developed and likeable characters. To spice things up the writers add a magic rock at a local shrine that can grant wishes. The rock is very wise :-). The wishes teach the girls something about themselves and the meaning of friendship. This show captured me right away and gave me warm fuzzies. It also gave me a sense of some of the various locations in Japan. |
| http://myanimelist.net/manga/28393/Sakamichi_no_Apollon only 1,500 people have actually read it , such a shame. I think manga is better in some ways , I enjoyed manga not as much as anime |
