Recommend some great but lesser known anime? like, there might be other good anime out there but are unfortunately not that known as much as others..? I don't really mind if its old, and I'm open to different genres~
 
Blood+
I never hear about it, ever.
It's really good.
Summer Wars is also a really good anime movie. It's perfect if you love video games. The art for it is based a lot from the Digimon movie from way back when (except a little more modern)...
 
idk if anohana is well known but its ver nice and theres only 11 episodes but thats all you need to cry for the rest of the year
i dont know many animes haha
 
hmm how bout dragon ball z then??

That one's kind of popular too :) Not necessarily these days, but it's definitely well known.

I think Ouran High School Host Club though is definitely a nice comedy anime, but it's definitely starting to gain fame and popularity.
Rosario + Vampire is also pretty spectacular :3 One off my all time favorites.
Moshishi is interesting, but it's more so a list of short stories with a single connector.
My Bride is a Mermaid is kind of interesting, but I haven't been able to watch more than a few episodes yet ^-^"
Obviously there's Sword Art Online too, which I'm not very sure if it's too popular or I'm just aware of it's existence because I've watched it, but it's definitely a great one, oh my gosh. Asuna x Kirito ALL THE WAY!
Angel Beats was pretty okay
Clannad - definitely an amazing one. Haven't seen it in a while, but it was quite spectacular.
And there was Princess Tutu. It's not the typical anime, because there isn't much room for shipping since it focuses on a little girl, but it's definitely pretty sweet.
Elfen Lied (Or however it's spelled) is meh, it depends on your personal tastes. By the anime I've suggested, you might tell I'm into more romance based ones ^-^ this one though is more science fictiony
And of course, the infamous Soul Eater. While it's really well known, it's pretty fantastic! :3

OH OH OH AND Fruits Basket~!!! That one is the shiz!

Starts out totally cliche but takes interesting turns in the story.

-School Days
is hated by the anime community but I love it. People just miss the entire point of the story, I think. It's a deconstruction of the romance and harem genre

- Space Dandy.
Everyone thinks it's a pile of crap but it's actually beautifully animated and totally hilarious.
 
Toradora is pretty good too. Haven't watched it all the way through, but it IS enjoyable.

Also, there are some pretty good Korean live actions too that are based on animes, like Boys Over Flowers! But, this is an anime thread, so I'll leave those out.

CLANNAD! The anime name was Clannad! I'll edit that now ^-^

'ohshc is starting to gain fame' where have you been since it came out

all of those are popular. only one i havent heard of is moshishi
 
Kaze no Stigma was pretty okay too
While it's coming up to a pretty popular-ish time, I've heard Blue Exorcist is pretty good, if you're into intriguing animes
And, while this one is becoming horrendoulsy main stream, Death Note is also pretty darn good, same with One piece (just thought I'd include those, even with their popularity.)

Well, sorry, I just thought I'd offer suggestions with animes that I've watched and thought were good. They aren't popular where I live, and I haven't seen them around much.

Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself and forgot two words. Edited it :) And the bolded words are what changed (Sorry, I didn't want it to seem rude by my bolding them, so I felt the need to explain in this message DX)

omg thank you for the many recommendations! I've watched most of them, and yeah they were great ^^ Blue Exorcist and Ouran are actually a part of my faves lol btw I have watched Boys Over Flowers! I've also watched a lot more korean tv shows too hahah
 
omfg shingeki no kyojin and sword art online are my favs coz they're so emotional and the guys are so hot OMFG I SHIP EREN AND LEVI XDD

You should watch Hyouka. It's really underrated and it's my favourite anime.
 
terra e
mononoke
jigoku shoujo season 1

genres.. terra e is scifi, other two are horror/supernatural
and all three could be considered tragedy as well I guess lol

also gintama if you haven't seen it lol

sorry i haven't rly watched any anime since early hs so my anime recs are all kinda old lol

omg yes I've heard of Space Dandy!! seen some screencaps of it lol I'll try these out eheh..
 
I just finished watching Mermaid Forest. It's an early 90s anime and the story was fantastic and thought provoking.
