Ah, this was the first anime I ever saw. I really got hooked on it once they started introducing more and more deranged characters, like that student who relentlessly stalked people. I still love the idea of a sad teacher who often depresses him own students without even trying. Ah, memories...slopeslider said:Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Never heard of Zetsubou being talked about either. Even though it's full of japanese-society-commentary-win.
seconded. great series. Ill also say Outlaw star although its not obscure and this may be really not to most peoples tastes but Ouran High School host club is hilarious. watched it with my friend and his girlfriend (her series which may tell you something about it) but laughed the whole way through. Go into it with an open mind and seeWestMountain said:Elfen Lied?..
Its not obscure, on many streaming websites it's almost always in the top 50. It's still a really good anime though.pantsoffdanceoff said:Is Soul Eater obscure? I watch it but I don't know anyone else who does...
Berserk is really obscure, since a lot of people like it, but most of society won't even know what you're talking about. Outlaw Star is also obscure, so yes n.nNmil-ek said:AcacianLeaves said:No Dragon Balls, no Orange Ninjas, no ...whatever the fuck Inuyasha is supposed to be - I want to hear about good Anime that I've never heard of.
I'll start. Recently a friend introduced me to a series called "Claymore". This. Is. Awesome. It's about a group of Warrior Women that basically are turned into inhuman fighting machines in order to destroy monsters that feed on human guts known as "Yoma", for a nominal fee.
The art is great, the story is compelling, the characters are interesting, and it doesn't overstay its welcome at a clean 26 episodes. I rarely hear people talk about this anime, but it is easily one of my all time favorites.
So, got any good obscure anime recommendations?
Read the manga after the anime, still ongoing and only updated monthly but where the anime leaves off to its own ending the manga gets even more compelling.
On topic not sure if Berserk is exactly obscure less than mainstream sure but it has a cult following, failing that uhh Outlaw Star maybe?
