Jan 5, 2012 · I'm always looking for good anime and I happened to stumble upon these 60 series that are basically unknown. I felt the need to share with others. I recommend each of them. Some more than others, but they're all worth the try. Several of them are even in my all time favorites list. (Was TOP 30 list but was updated to Top 40 as of Dec. 2017.

Claymore is so underrated it’s evil. It’s brutal. It’s sickening. “Claymores” are female warriors with demon blood inside them. Their only mission in life is to destroy Yoma (demons). And they have no chance of ever being in a relationship because of the damage done to the Claymore’s bodies. The anime is made by Madhouse studios and only has 1 seas...
Skip Beat is an anime I don’t hear people talking about or recommending much. But after being curious when seeing it, I’m glad. It’s a Shoujo seriesabout Kyouko Mogami, a girl who does everything for her soon-to-be “superstar” boyfriend. Only for him to throw it in her face. He dumps her, uses her for all her money and resources, and then leaves wi...
Sket Dance is one of my favourite comedy series of all time. Fresh, unique, stands on its own two feet and has natural chemistry between characters. It’s about a trio of characters called Hime, Switch, and Bossun. They take requests from anyone in school and help them with their problems. That’s the purpose of their group “Sket Dance”. You can thin...
The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K is another comedy series that doesn’t get praised like it should. It has the ratings to back it up, even if ratings aren’t everything. Kusuo Saiki is an overpowered psychic who can change the laws of nature itself. And the anime follows him around in a slice of lifeformat. It’s nothing like any slice of lifeyou’ve see...
Kino’s Travels The BeautifulWorld is the original “Kino” series. The anime needs more. It’s probably what inspired series like The Journey Of Elaina. Kino is a girl who travels the world and stays in each city, country, and village for a maximum of 3 days. Her reasoning? 3 days is long enough to experience a new culture or city, without getting too...
Wonder Egg Priority is an animereleased in 2021. And from the first episode you can see it’s already unique and different. Made by Cloverworks studios, the anime focuses on different teenage traumas. And how the main characters help them through it. Almost like therapy but different. It’s a psychologicalseries that speaks for itself with its qualit...
Cells At Work is an anime that helps you see the potential that anime has from a creative point of view. It’s about biology, red blood cells and white blood cells. But instead of the boring classroom that usually comes with it, you get “educated” in a way that’s entertaining. What’s surprising about the anime is how accurate it is when it comes to ...
Ascendance Of A Bookworm is the best Isekai I’ve seen besides Re:Zero. And best of all it has no fan service or unnecessary cliches. Just like Re:Zero I guess. The anime is about a girl called Myne who after death, is reborn as a child who has physical limitations. She slowly overcomes this and gets used to her new body. As a bookworm, Myne’s main ...
God Eater easily has the BEST CGI of any anime I’ve seen. It’s crisp and sharp, flows naturally, and the animation is stunning beyond belief. It’s about creatures called Aragami. And the soldiers who, if qualified, use “GOD Eaters” to kill them and protect human society. You can see the similarities in themes compared to Black Bullet, Attack On Tit...
Golden Kamuy is an anime you don’t hear many shouting about. But the fanbase is tight, and the quality is up there. There are 3 seasons so far, 4th one is planned. The anime’s plot is related to money and gold. Soldiers all fought for it, leading to violence, murder, and plenty of action. One element of Golden Kamuy that makes it unique though, is ...

Magical girls anime are always a classic, but this one managed to slip under the radar. Flip Flappers features two girls who are dragged into another dimension and must battle against evil forces. The series is rather cute with a weird backdrop.
