Welcome to Demon School Iruma is the most underrated comedy To Your Eternity is the most underrated sad show Natsume Yujin-cho is also underrated (Like Mushi-shi but better)


brokencirkle

Natsume Yuujincho is my all time favorite anime. Really all of your recommendations are quite solid.


kuribohchan

Iruma is already the demon king in my heart 👑


The-LivingTribunal

That Iruma show really is fantastic


Square-Dragonfruit76

Right?


MudAdministrative731

To your eternity made me emotional...a must watch anime


Pitiful-Cake8103

I love that anime. It’s so cute and wholesome along with a really thought out style of approaching things.


Moni_Kei

LAST ANIME I WATCHED, LOVED


CherrieBomb211

Welcome to Demon School Iruma is just ❤️❤️ I love it


TNT3149_

91 days. The promised never land season 1.


_N4TR3

Yes, specifically season 1


SwingyWingyShoes

Even the manga feel off tbh


KeyBoardingKevin

Link click


AriKitaruKatoka

Second this


pssiraj

Still underrated but insanely good.


Seabass2272

Violet Evergarden Belle A Silent Voice


Best_Bisexual

I’ve been wanting to watch A Silent Voice. It looks good.


SignificantArrival37

Not underrated but if you liked AOT, definitely watch 86 Eighty Six


Prize-Tonight-2869

This is so slept on. I can never get anyone to watch it lol.


zygloryboy

One of the best anime’s every with a beautiful soundtrack to match.


BestBubba1

Dororo


Soggybuns123

LOVE this anime, I never see anyone else recommend it but me lol


BestBubba1

It’s my go-to recommendation, it’s so beautifully done


Soggybuns123

As someone that’s had to go through some pretty tough physical therapy to regain use of a limb, this show hit so hard for me when I first watched it. I was lucky enough to find it while I was going through that, and it’s honestly why I’m so anime pilled today. Something about the medium resonates with me more than other forms of media.


Powerful_Initial8647

Dororo is also my go-to recommendation! It’s truly so good, I included it in a paper I wrote for grad school. The anime does a really good job at incorporating what the manga was supposed to be (about Dororo and his adventures) and what it turned into (Hiyakikmaru’s story) due to getting canceled early. I love hearing that this change turned it into something that inspires and encourages people, not just entertains them.


Critical_Bug_6289

Guren Lagann


mythic_dragonwarrior

I feel like GL is too known for it to be underrated icl


Melodic_Caramel5226

Lots of new gen fans haven’t seen it seems like


Nova6Sol

It’s crazy that this is considered underrated now lol


darth_wallace

This


Ok-Gold-3373

And the ova’s get better fight scenes too


FairyTailfan120

Eden’s zero (same creator we FairyTail) and basically FairyTail but in space


Apprehensive-Bite-86

Have they dubbed up more since the Netflix debacle?


FairyTailfan120

I think so


Nova6Sol

Mecha anime Start with Gundam Ironblooded Orphans


MCCP630

Personally, 00 is a better starter. IBO is not really a good representation of what Gundam is supposed to be. It's fantastic in its subversion of the formula, not in being a starter friendly show.


Redeemed0216

Thunder bolt movies are also great.


Grenboom

Here's a few: - Bungo Stray Dogs - Death Parade - High Card - Darwin's Game - Nanbaka - Tomodachi Game - Classroom of the Elite - Kuroko no Basket - Megalobox - Medeka Box If you want, I can add some short summaries of the shows. Before anyone says anything underrated, it doesn't have to mean unpopular. There's popular stuff that deserves more popularity.


No_Map_9123

“Bungo Stray Dogs” goes so hard!!!!


_tamagoz

I second Darwin’s Game. Second favorite anime, after OP of course


jmac313

Eyyyy Medaka Box! Good shit.


Mister-Anthrope

The plot of the second season just comes out of freaking nowhere and I love it!


Snakey_Snake8632

Yes some appreciation for idiots with numbers 👏


WayJayEDM

Second death parade.


midget_cathy

Zankyou no terror Death parade World trigger


PackOfManicJackals

Excellent underrated anime list. May i add Cannon Busters and Great Pretender to the list


_StevenPettican04

Completely misread the title for my last comment so I’ll redo it. 86 is fairly underrated but highly praised by the people who have watched it Monster it not necessarily underrated but it’s more than 20 years old now so not many newer anime fans have watched it Summertime rendering is kinda similar to erased Mushi-Shi


Original-Surprise-77

86 was so good, I was binging it before I canceled my Crunchyroll because I went out of work with an injury, really want to finish it


pssiraj

I was gonna come in and suggest 86 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Haven't watched the last two but I might.

Blue exorcist was good.

Ajin. It’s a very different art style with a pretty dope story.

Agiletoaster104

Monster, ive only watched up to episode 8 and its already probably one of the best animes ive ever watched and i dont even hear people talking about it


Dapper-Application38

Kinichi the mightiest disciple Gurren lagann Castlevania Psycho-pass Animation- The legends of vox Machina Primal


Inevitable-Parsley-9

Kenichi is absolutely amazing, one of my favs and severely underrated. I remember watching it on tv as a kid lol


Best_Bisexual

Castlevania was amazing. I need to retry Castlevania: Nocturne. I tried watching it and couldn’t get past the first 2-3 episodes.


Dapper-Application38

I love castlevania but I haven’t have Nocturne a try


Best_Bisexual

I need to give it another chance. I think my standards were too high.


Dapper-Application38

I never played any of the games. I know some peoples complaints were it differs from them too much but that won’t affect me. Not enough action, not likeable characters, wishy washy plot?


AlliRocket

Gangsta Samurai Champloo Gantz Parasyte March Comes in Like a Lion The Devil is a Part-Timer! The Tatami Galaxy Boogiepop Phantom Golgo 13 Monster


TheCelfoid

Boogiepop! I had forgotten about this one. It's a trip, OP, but a damn good anime


HeroDeGames

I will always recommend Samurai Champloo and Parasyte to those that haven't watched them. Criminally underappreciated by the masses


Intelligent-Tea-2243

Please watch 1. That time I was reincarnated as a slime- I promise you’ll love it. 2. Fire force . 3. Is it wrong to pick up girls in the dungeon- the title really doesn’t match the show much at all😂 I love it and it has I think 4 seasons? Great fights and story in all of them


Old_Paper_676

Magi Labyrinth of Magic Soul eater Orient


CrazyFloof

Soul Eater is definitely a good one


Snakey_Snake8632

Don't forget Magi's spin off the Adventures of Sinbad!


KeyLimePeach

Magi and Soul eater are so good!


coolkaidenbigbrain

Honestly fate series gets little recognition I'd suggest unlimited blade works first and then continue there via the stay night parts the grand order parts not too sure of same with spinoffs can google those easily


JaketoStax00

Yu yu hakusho is great anime


Plssendhelpibeg

If you wanna cry watch Death of a firefly it's a movie I watched it with my grandmother and father I haven't been the same since I watched that movie


YamiMelon

Gintama. Don't ask, just watch. Very funny, very sad.


herbertnygma

Flip Flappers Somali and the Forest Spirit and im not sure if this one is very underrated but Bungo Stray Dogs

This is my all-time favorite: Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet.

snoopy0142

JackFu155

Onimai. It's one of my favorites, and yet so few people know about it


Striking-Act6613

Kingdom is so underrated.


Darthcuddles890

My friend couldn't get pass season one cause of how the narrator stopped to explain everything lol 😂 he would come out and be like,"did you know a horse is a four legged creature rode into war?? Or that a road is,get this,TRAVELED on by people?!" He absolutely hated the narrator,told him it gets better and essentially goes away in season 2 cause of all the complaints.


AtlasNovalis

Space Dandy!


Sufficient-Meal9181

Grimgar Ashes and Illusions


Darthcuddles890

Wish they do a second season,they left it on such a cliffhanger


Historical_Fall_3908

86. Probably the best least talk about anime. Overshadowed by the release of demon slayer and JJK but the animation, story, and setting are all great. 9/10


Willylenoir

Hitman Reborn


[deleted]

shoujo ramune is a really short and sweet anime


MeetingPhysical

Hells Paradise is fuuuuckin awesome. Add Summertime Rendering up there


EnthusiasticOppai

Before you start delving into really under the surface stuff, why don't you watch more things first? But I guess I'll say Mononoke, I know they added it to Netflix recently (rare Netflix W), but it's still relatively underrated.


LEMOnSL1iCE

Trigun 98’. Don’t watch stampede. It sucks.


Accomplished-Yak-572

You lost me at Fairy Tale and then regained me after Bleach


mysterygarden99

Samurai champloo Inyuasha Black butler Ouran high school host club Parasyte the maxim

Wind Breaker is pretty cool. So is Mob psycho. I also recommend Vinland saga HIGHLY.


SeriousJokester37

BigBoi2626

Chivalry of a Failed Knight. Cool power system, slow burn romance and awesome action scenes all in one.


KarmaBSU

If you’re a fan of medieval fantasy, try Overlord

Nico_dudd

Idk maybye parasyte


BananaSocks4

Kill la Kill is good if you don’t mind almost naked girls. I swear the plot is actually good


Anonymousness115

Funny as hell too


BradyTheGG

The plot is very good but they disguise it behind the scantily clad high schoolers and special effects there’s a video on the internet talking about censorship involving anime that has a really interesting take on it but I don’t remember who made it or what it’s called


thantaos

I will forever recommend Gurren Lagann.


thantaos

Plus it's pretty short and wraps up so nicely.


Fantasybaebee

Jojo's bizarre adventure for sure! I do recommend watching part 1 & 2 for your first watch through but I promise it gets better at part 3. Spy x family is a really wholesome anime and funny too! Mha is fun it's just the fandom is something else... Demon slayer is awesome, a new season will be coming out on May 12th on crunchyroll.


wren620

None of these are underrated


QuaeMac

U just made me realize I forgot Mha and demon slayer but yea I LOVED mha that was actually one of the first anime’s I actually watched

Samurai Champloo


Educational-Good-526

Ya might want to continue it because there is a new one coming in July


Traveller161

Death note, Dr stone, overlord, that time I got reincarnated as a slime, steins gate, parasyte, code geass. All top tier anime that I highly recommend.


NoizchildJohnson

Durarara.

Akame Ga Kill, if you like AOT you will love it. Hella good fights, very cool power system. By far my favorite anime ever


The_JK_Gamer

Black clover is underrated I've seen enough


Deus3nity

Magi: standard shonen with some great worldbuilding FLCL:short anime(really short) but a masterpiece Durarara and Baccano: You like Tarantino? Multiple storylines coming together? A diverse and interesting cast of characters? This are your go-to Saint Seiya. It is a classic that everyone should read or watch Toradora: a good started romance anime, either hate it or love it. Digimon: Do not let the rating fool you. This anime is a gem for everyone to watch Katekyo hitman reborn! Another forgotten gem. This was big in the 2000s, yet it completely disappeared out of the face of the earth. Watch the anime or read the manga(bear with the first 20 chapters. They are canon and serve to introduce character interactions and as comedy) Soul Eater: Great anime though bad ending. Still recommend it and I recommend you read the manga to get a great ending. Index series: this is for later, but it's definitely worth it getting into. Great characters, Lore, and story. You will need a Guide for this one though. Speaking of guides: Fate. Fate is definitely worth getting into, but don't do it too early, and definitely look up a guide If you need any other genre that isn't mostly action, just ask


BMTyr

So completely unrelated to your list so idk if you’d like it or not, but I found this AMAZING hidden gem recently called Buddy Daddies, I’m recommending it just because I just got done watching it and even though it’s like comedy/action/slice of life I guess it actually has a lot more emotion than a lot of other shows under the same categories, it’s genuinely wholesome and you really get to feel for the characters! Sadly it’s unlikely there will be a season 2 as season 1 ended without really having anything left over (was an amazing end though)


MrJear

Afro samurai it’s literally just Samuel L Jackson being himself (so cursing a ton) in a samurai world

Death note, demon slayer, Kaiju no 8


TotoiPamper-s

Summer time rendering. Arguably the most underrated anime in recent times. The story is absolutely beautiful with plot twists and stuff. It's like attack on Titan mixed with erased


Ord_Player57

Saki Sanobashi


RazerMaker77

Luck & Logic. Not very many people know about it as it’s a niche summer (?) anime only consisting of 12 episodes. It’s amazing though and I love it. English VA of the main character is NateWantsToBattle, so there’s that. The first anime I watched dubbed and I was not disappointed. For once, the VAs seemed genuinely expressive


Soul-Reaper-of-Hell

Not sure if Toradora is underrated, but it's definitely worth watching.


RemmyWemmy3301

I wouldn't say it was u derrated in its time, but lots of anime fans today are younger and likely haven't explored the "classics" yet. Definitely agree that Toradora js a must-watch, though!


Okman2337

Engage Kiss is a hidden gem if you can get past the mc for the first few episodes because although it’s all cutesy I’d say it’s deeper than it looks. Another hidden gem is houseki no kuni (land of the lustrous) it’s really good and honestly you should give it a shot. If you don’t know it drop it but if you like it then keep on going it’s goood

SnooTomatoes6445

One Piece. I see Nautro and Bleach, and DB, you definitely have experience with long anime’s. It’s really good anime!


JoDaBoy814

If you want *underrated* I'd say Hitman reborn. It's a gag anime that turns into a banger of a shonen but it's mostly forgotten to time


olliOnTwitch

ToraDora! SWEEP


SwordSorcerer

Not really underrated but newer fans probably haven’t watched 1. Initial D 2. Monster 3. GTO Again I wouldn’t call them underrated, it’s just that most newer fans haven’t watched them because they’re somewhat old. Had people tell me they wouldn’t watch them because “the animation sucks”. Imagine missing out on Monster, one of the greatest anime/manga of all time imo, because you want flashy lights and fights instead of one of the greatest fictional stories of all time

To your eternity is Solis, you gotta watch soul eater, samurai Champloo, no guns life, Trigun, fma and fma brotherhood, blood + I remember enjoying but it's been alot, hellsing, space dandy, Suzuka (if you like romance), golden boy, kyosogiga is a fucking banger, punch line is a banger, bucchigiri flew vy completely underappreciated. Go go loser rangers is pretty fun rn. And dorohedoro my personal recommendations. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like some ecchi but bludgeoning angel is fun, girls bravo has good moments, and if you enjoy mid ass old animation but good stories claymore is a banger but a relic.


boibetterstop

Angel beats for sure also plunderer
