Underrated/unpopular anime recommendations?

omg I've watched all 3! yeah really enjoyed all of them, especially SNK, though I'm not updated anymore with the manga lol
(yes..... hyouka........ houtarou is like sooo cute hahah)



ooohh I like tragedies eheh.. I tried watching gintama because of all the screenshots/gifs I've seen of it but daaaamn so many episodes T__T (it looks so good though lol)

terra e was truly tragic lol I just wanted them to be happy sigh
the other two are all like... episodic? I guess?? anyway ****ty things happen to diff ppl in each ep lol

oh you can skip around for gintama, they don't have many serious arcs so you could just read synopsis's or something and pick ones that sound interesting lol though they're all interesting imo...

also if you want drama reccs too
trick is my favourite drama ever lol I recommend it to everyone but like half the ppl refuse to watch it bc its suuuper old (first seasons from like 2002?? or something and last movie was released this year)
its a rly campy jdrama about this physicist and magician who go around disproving ppl who claim to have supernatural powers/supernatural phenomena

I rly like detective dramas and supernatural stuff so it's right up my alley anyways lolol
 
Tsuritama. I have yet to meet someone else who has seen it, but it is such a fun little anime.

12 Episode fishing anime, but it's not really a fishing anime like most sports anime. Dont wanna give any spoilers away though, so I'm just gonna suggest it. :)
 
Kino's Journey is a really good and really underrated/lesser known anime to check out.
Black Lagoon is pretty underrated as well.

Hanasaku Iroha is an underrated sof anime. The art is great and I enjoyed the story.

daily lives of high school boys is p known but its funny.

Gosick
Otome Youkai Zakuro
Dantalian no Shoka

DN Angel is good too, but it was p popular awhile back.
Black Blood Brothers is soul tho
 
I used to watch anime a few years ago. Some good niche titles are;
Welcome to the NHK
Higurashi no naku koro ni (I still have all 26 manga volumes) it is horror and would not recommend for kids.
Xxxholic or however many xs is a good clamp series
School Rumble is pretty good, not sure if it is unpopular now.
Paradise Kiss has always lived in NANA's shadow but is quite good and short.
Mushishi is an acquired taste but is quite good if you like supernatural stories like Miyazaki makes.
Shuffle is quite sweet for what starts out as a harem show.

I really can't remember anything else that wasn't super popular.
 
Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Either they think it's too girly or they haven't watched it because it's old :/
 
I'm sad that nobody mentioned Nichijou, that anime made me crack up several times.
Space Dandy as well, I'm still sad that it ended. :C

Oh there's also Digimon Adventure and Tamers, great anime.
Oh and Chi's Sweet Home just for an adorable kitty's daily life.

ParaKiss.. yes I love that manga. I think her work is better as manga due to her awesome drawing style...

NHK is flippin trippy.. lovin it.
 
Top three that comes to mind are:
Kemono no Souja Erin (one of my favorite series of all time)
Level-E (prepare to laugh your ass off--this anime is so f*****' absurd!)
Koi Kaze (incest anime but the romance is beautiful ; ;)

The anime and manga series don't do Higurashi justice. Read the VN instead; that's where Ryukishi07 REALLY shines.

I think the anime is pretty good for the type and the manga is a bit fanservice I agree but I love how people bash it.
 
I have the higurashi and umineko vns but I still prefer the manga. The manga is a lot more in depth than the anime and still retains the emotions of reading the vn. What's especially good about the manga is that there is pretty much a different artist for every arc. Lumping the manga with the anime makes me wonder if you're serious...

Either way the higurashi anime is a good place to start with checking out Ryukishi07's work. Just don't watch umineko, now that is a terrible adaption.

Kaze No stigma was pretty good, but the author died and the story is just left unfinished. Plus the cousin romance is kinda weird.
