When a new season comes (spring, summer, autumn, winter), besides of the ''popular'' anime S2 releases and some trending animes, most of the time i will give a try to the new animes that have a nice sypnosis or front cover (also i look at the genre ofcourse). But i just found out that the audience dont really watch it or know about their existence lol. SO UNDERRATED that there's no even discussion or threads.

So, i'm here to recommend some and see if anyone has watched it!! And if you have an underrated anime that is really good please feel free to recommend here too!!

Here we go:
1. Gakkou Gurashi! (mystery/terror/psychology/scholar)
2. Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū (josei/drama)
3. Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? (isekai/comedy/fantasy) the only isekai i've rewatched a lot of times before the abundant isekais.
4. Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru (sport/drama)
5. Kimi to boku (slice of life) REALLY GOOD, IT HAS 2 SEASONS.
6. Gangsta (mafia/seinen/action) the only anime i knew where the protagonist is HANDSOME old man.
7. Arslan Senki (history/shounen/adventure)
8. Binbougami ga! (comedy/shounen)
9. Chihayafuru (sport/josei/drama)
10. Yuukoku no Moriarty (psychology/shounen/mystery)

Some underrated/not very well-known animes (at least I think they are since I've never seen many people mention them) that I really like are: Rainbow Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin, Zankyō no Terror, Plastic Memories, Welcome to the N.H.K., Piano no Mori, To your eternity, Katanagatari, Kobato, Momokuri, Tada-kun wa koi wa shinai, Jigoku Shoujo, Kokoro Connect, Golden Time, Sankarea, The world is still beautiful, kekai seisen, Mikakunin de shikoukei, Chuunibyou demo Koi Ga shita, 3D Kanojo, Great Pretender, , Tsurerzure Children, Masamuni Kun no revenge, Ballroom e Youkoso, koi to uso, Psycho Pass, Kiznaiver, Nagi no Asukara and Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road (I like this last one so much that I'll even leave the AMV that made me watch it when I first saw it)

Underrated anime means an anime that is better than the recognition or praise it gets. In other words, it deserves more popularity, attention, or appreciation than it currently has. From the list i´ve only watched Hoshiai no Sora lol

Trendy animes are like Jujutsu no Kaisen, Beyond Journey's End etc. The one that is ongoing currently: Witch Hat Atelier.
I dont hate trendy animes, i mean the animation of Jujutsu was amazing!!

I remember being frustrated when I watched Nagi no Asukara because the couples I was rooting for didn't end up together, lol.

Now how about these then: Dororo, Shingeki no Bahamut Virgin Soul, Wotakoi, Kyoukai no Kanata, 91 Days, Claymore, Noragami, Death Parade, Hyouka, Saga of Tenya the Evil, katekyo hitman reborn, Pandora Hearts, Zero no Tsukaima, Watamote, Charlotte, Parasite, Erased, and Owari no Seraph. If you already know these, then I will wave a white flag of truce, and as a bonus, here's a manga that nobody asked my opinion on, but I'll recommend it anyway because I really like it: Funouhan.
