TOP 10 UNDERRATED ANIME

TOP 10 UNDERRATED ANIME 

Nowadays it is Easy to find popular anime recommendations for almost every genre.

Yet with so much different anime that catches peoples’ eyes, it’s easy to overlook some real gems that don’t get the attention they deserve.

At last me and you guys just want to be entertained. And any anime that has something great to enjoy, well I say it just needs more recognition.

If you’re searching to explore some underrated anime across many genres then here’s a list of recommendations to check out. Some titles you may know, some you might not. Either way, just enjoy the journey!

10. Big Windup

Ever seen with a sports anime that deals with a highly anxious protagonist?

Well this one does, and it’s a rather well-done series too.

Since it doesn’t dish out many exciting sporting moments, Big Windup ended up on the back-burner of the sports anime genre.

Yet what makes the series so good is the way it fleshes out characters and situations.

Sure it has expected comedy and sports cliches but the depth of the main characters are what stands out to me.

9. Mushishi

Deep but low-key would be the best way to describe this series.

Mushishi explores a different sort of spirit called “mushi” and brings a thoughtful side to the supernatural genre.

Essentially it uses this as an exploration of man’s relationship to nature.

Being a rather slow anime, it doesn’t stand out all that much to be honest. But it does offer a different take to the idea of spirits which I find really cool.

You could say that this is a rather soft series because gives different stories with each episode. But I like it because you can pick it up almost anywhere.

In short, this is a different sort of supernatural series that features nature and delivers a good amount of feels to boot.

8. Dennou Coil

Not many may know this series but it is one of the first animes that tackled augmented reality(outside of maybe Ghost in the Shell).

Basically it shows how virtual reality could affect the real world.

In a way, it was pretty ahead of its time. A reason that the series is rather underrated is for its admittedly slow first half.

Though slow, there is a draw into the series with its mystery and characters if you keep watching.

There’s a solid build-up to more high-stakes moments but you’ll need to sit through a few episodes to get there.

In summary: it’s a group of kids investigating a case of disappearing people. Nut there is a depth to the mystery and the characters so if you have time give this a try.

7. Death Parade

Fascinated by the idea of purgatory and life after death? Then you’re gonna love Death Parade.

Set in a world where there is no heaven or hell, but rather a bar to decide your fate in the afterlife, this is a completely different take on death. And a really thought provoking idea too.

The series isn’t well known as much because I think it caters to a smaller audience. But once you start watching you can’t help but be drawn in with its mystery vibe and general dark style.

It’s a very character-driven show that plays on human nature and features a mystery with its protagonists.

There’s no doubt that the series is dark, but if you ask me that’s one of the main draws.

6. Samurai Flamenco

A young man aims to become a superhero.

A pretty standard shounen idea, but what makes this one stand out is that Masayoshi Hazama has no special abilities and more often than not gets into trouble.

It may seem like a wacky comedy involving an unlucky protagonist, but the series shows solid development as it progresses.

This is a show where you honestly don’t know what to expect. And that’s what makes it both confusing and great. Just depends what you’re looking for in an anime series.

5. Zet-man

Be prepared to basically be dropped into this show because that’s how this story works, and I know that not everyone likes that.

In this world, underground fighting take pace and riches are bet on them. 

A young poor boy tries live up his father (in anime he pretend grandfather) and young rich whose father despise he poor boy.

Protagonist'S father/grandfather was scientist who created a legendary creature in his boy. Cool right?

There’s no denying that the series is weird, but it also introduces a completely different world unlike any other.

Each episode brings different stories that all have something thought provoking to them.

I’m not sure why this didn’t get as much attention as it should have, but again I think maybe it’s too obscure to attract a large audience.

There’s a lot to enjoy here though: the unique art style, the expansive world, and the general mystery of the story that sucks you in from episode one.

4. Ergo Proxy

A cyberpunk theme that doesn’t feel overdone, how refreshing.

Ergo Proxy is a rather complex piece so I can see why it is a lesser known anime. But it has some great artwork and a relatively unique story.

Actually you could call the series rather experimental with the mix of genres it has, along with a setting in a post-apocalyptic world with elaborate “domes”/cities and humanoid robot beings.

The show is quite a journey where you either fall or settle into its depth.

It’s a tale of self-discovery with different characters and some romance mixed in.

3. Eden of the East

There has to be an endless number of anime that features a survival theme.

This one is rather different. It’s not just a survival theme, but a survival game.

Featuring a young man named Takizawa Akira; he along 12 other contestants are tasked to make use of 10 billion yen to save Japan.

The series gives an interesting mix of survival, politics, and psychological suspense as it shows how different characters are affected in this “free for all game”.

There is so much depth to the series and it leaves you at the edge of your seat. I wish I had found out about it sooner than I did. Definitely give the pilot a watch and see what you think.

2. Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit

This overshadowed series gives us a strong female lead with a really engaging plot.

It’s a tale of impending destruction involving a call for a savior, a demon possessed prince, and a female mercenary tasked to protect him.

1. Megalo Box

This anime take place in western place of some country. From name you guy can not even tell what this anime about but for the people which are hard core sports anime fan can tell by "BOX" in anime name

In this story, a young lad Joe who is boxer fighting underground boxing. This anime people are with authorised ranking can take part in boxing match. Old animating art and with great boxing. 

"Machines" Boxer vs "Gear-less" Joe. For anime fans this line is enough to excite them.Yep, there is little bit of emotion. but overall its one of the best underrated anime. 

These anime won’t be for everyone but if you give it a try I think you’ll at least appreciate the concept.
