Most Underrated Animes & Manga

Everyone has favorites, but which do you honestly think get the short end of the stick, and exactly why? Too heavy a plotline to wade through, too confusing, thought of as stereotypical, too obscure..?

Angelic Layer

.. the plot was to See Her Mother but the story took a Fantastic Twist into a Remote-Controllers Dream-Come-True Floor-Show of Movements and Skills.

actually, the Manga failed while the Anime totally Amused and entertained on Dreams.

Guyver, Gokusen

That's all my puny memory can remember at the moment......

x2. I agree totally. Not only because of that, but also because it seems to be quite obscure.

Please Teacher. The 'hero' is a mature man [though body-wise, he's 15] chronologically 18, and he DOESN'T nosebleed, is NOT in a harem [it's a triangle, something believable], and he literally gets the girl...

Boys Be. Most realistic anime evar with nice music and good poetic dialogue at intro and end.

Black Lagoon. Watch the dub, laugh your ass off, and be amazed

Claymore. hot babes with HUGE swords... Um, yeah original to me, that's for sure.

Code Geass. Main gal has sexy green hair, also original to me and Lelouch's nickname, "Lulu" is funny

Ikki Tousen, best form of hentai fighting you're gonna get. They dumbed down Tenjou Tenge too much for my tastes

will think of more after moving sprinkler

3x3 Eyes. Too gory for most people. Dark Horse never finished translating the series due to low popularity.

Key: The Metal Idol. Too old or obscure for a lot of people. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed Elfen Lied.

Slam Dunk. One of the best sports series out there. Neither the anime or the manga got the chance they deserved here in the states.

Shadow Skill don't get enough cred... and its a great one (ova, movie, and series).

Birdy: The Mighty is another one that doesn't get enough attention, yet another really great one.

Finally, Galaxy Express 999 may be huge in Japan, but its US audience is slim, comparitively speaking to big anime titles, which is very sad since its a great series, greater films, and has some amazing spin offs.
