I think Ashita no Joe is the most under rated anime.

So many people refuse to watch it because it has old style animation (like 1970's), but the story is amazing.

Pokemon and DBZ (even though they are also good) on the other hand are way over rated.

Who agrees ?

Pokemon is definitely not overrated, I think everyone over the age of 8 acknowledges that it is a crap anime. Dragonball Z is not a series that I would say is overrated, people love it because most people will have grown up with it but it's rare that you'll see someone listing it on a list of their favourite animes unless they've seen only a few.

Pokemon is an awesome anime. The original series was AMAZING.

Then it went downhill like Final Fantasy.

These are my top 5 under rated anime:

1. Ashita no Joe

2. Hunter x Hunter

3. Rorouni Kenshin

4. Samurai Champaloo

5. One Piece

@ Ranma1

One piece is underrated? I'm sorry I must have read your list wrong. Let me check again. WHAT!?!?!? You saying that the most popular anime series that blows everything else out of the water in terms of sales is underrated? It's more along the lines of being OVERrated than under.

One Piece underrated...HAHAHAHAHA.

Srsly? One Piece? THE One Piece? Gtfo.

Anyways, I think D. Gray-Man is VERY underrated.

Gintama is also very underrated.

Edit: Mirai Nikki isn't underrated. Wtf. It has a decent audience. Plus millions of people already red the Manga. If you wanna mention 2012 underrated Animes, Another is the one to go. If you're a fan of Mystery and Mind-fckn animes, Another is a MUST WATCH.

Shuffle is very underrated along with:

-Witchblade
-Sekirei
-Rosario + Vampire
-Desert Punk
-Kenichi

Kenichi, Sekirei and Rosario all were great Anime's (and are all on Netflix too.... your welcome ;)) but all ended where it seemed that there should have been more and found out later that they were canceled, all of them after their 2nd seasons.

Watch these animes! I highly recommend them.

Kara No Kyoukai

Twisted and graphic. But prolly my favorite anime ever, though it really is a set of 7 movies.

There's also an extra 8th short movie that only came with the bluray set. I absolutely loved this series. I can see how it was the precursor to Tsukihime as well.

@ Ranma1. I am sorry but One Piece and Rorouni Kenshin are not under rated by anyone except haters. Everyone else knows exactly how epic they are. Heck even their intro and ending themes are some of the in anime.

@ deep_fried_bum_cake . I tolerated Pokemon at first but it really has gone downhill. The quality of battles, pokemon, even the personalities of the people that they meet have downgraded to complete rubbish. Even the intros are no good.I don't know what they are trying to pill with Team Rocket suddenly getting all serious instead of the loveable goofs they once were.

Golden boy! Now that was an awesomely under rated series. It didn't have many episodes, but every single one was worth viewing. Many series are either too long, with some horribly written filler episodes, or so long that the main story gets lost.

I think Elfen Lied is heavily underrated... Highschool of the dead is brilliant as well, however I can't help but think that if they took out the unnecessary pervy parts, it would have done better (just my opinion).

(TINY ANGEL BEATS SPOILER AHEAD!!!)

Also Angel Beats, I think that is by far the best anime I've ever seen... Just wish there was more episodes, they had such brilliant characters that weren't developed enough due to lack of episodes. Then the ending ruined any chance of second series with those characters.

High School of the Dead was awesome. The "pervey" part's I found funny. Esspesially in the one episode when the fat dudes nose bleeds and he was out of it saying "Hehe I like turtles.."

That show was funny and epic.

Yeah the majority was funny it was just kinda disturbing when the teacher on the school bus was making them kiss each other and stuff near the end... Still one of the best anime's I've seen though!

they actually might do a 2nd season but more of a prequel following the manga " Heaven's Door"

Soulscare3979d ago

Yeah I hope so! Any sort of second series would be awesome but I would love to see the characters back story a little more... We only really saw Otonashi, Yuri's, Yui's, Iwasawa, Naoi and a little of Hinata back story. Also we only saw Otonashi's death. I would have loved to see more development the rest of the characters, mostly of Shiina and Kanade.
The only way they could tell there story more now would be through a game or maybe a manga, if they make a new season, it won't be about those guys. There were once rumour's of a game but I'm not sure what happened...

Anyway, I would love to an anime of Heaven's Door!

Seirei no Moribito was definitely underrated. I'd also say also:

Patlabor movie 1 and 2
Please Save My Earth
Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars 1-3

were all great and underrated shows as well.

yeah Morbito is underated and his other work which i think might be better and is way underrated is The Beast Player Erin. The Beast Player Erin made me want to cry manly tears.

I'll have to say a lot of underrated animes are the ones that dont get a second season. One i can think of is The Twelve Kingdoms so pissed off they never finished it. Some others i can think of is Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Jing King of Bandits, and Tytania.

kingPoS3978d ago

I hear you on that! I never watched the last episode
due it's abrupt end with a cliffhanger.(that only fan fiction can fix) >_>

Urusei Yatsura's also underrated. If you can get past it's dated looks & the 1st season, you'll find a real gem.
