Well, I figured since my first topic was a big bust, I'll try and make up for it, Anyways.
Junkers Come Here - slice of life. great movie. About a young girl who is going through the hardship of a possible divorce between her parents. In the process, she learns about selfiness and how hapiness should not be created through the sufferings of others. Mind Game - slice of life again. In this movie, you witness the ambition, struggle, and hope in a group of people who gets themselves into trouble. The Animation is amazing as well as the character development. This is a great watch for those people who are looking to get inspired as they are looking and searching for their own goal in life, guided by the ambitions and hope as well as the failures that come along. Solty Rei - one of my favorites. About a father who lost her daughter in a tragic event years ago but still believes she is still alive somewhere. While searching for her, he encounters a mysterious girl who is completely different than any human. Who is she? Where did she come from? Need to watch this to find out. Twin Spica - Basically a girl who is determined so follow the footsteps of her father in going to space. Pushing away the obstacles in front of her, she steps on challenge in her way as she chases her dream. Kurau: Phantom Memory - Slice of life, sci-fi. The daughter of a father who in is on the verge of a scientific breakthrough un ultalizing a few form of energy until her dauhgter gets caught up in the energy itself and taken over by this live form, refusing to return the body of his daughter back to him. A good watch. Comedy - short 10 minute film by studio 4C. It's about a girl who goes on a search for a legendary knight to save her village from an invasion. In exchange for his service, she offers him a book. A book for a thousand lives? What is the meaning behind this "fair" trade. Dish out 10 minutes to find out. Chance Pop Session - a group of girls who want to be singers. Each girl with a different past and early childhood, what makes these girls fated to be grea singers. Check it out. Figure 17 - sci-fi, drama. A young girl who gets the ability to fight against aliens. It's hard to describe without trying to spoil anything or going into details, but worth a watch.

You might want to explain a bit more in detail. This site has a pretty strict policy about listing. If a mod strolls by then you'll probably get a warning to flesh out your reasons or get it locked. Sorry if this site seems a bit harsh for you so far but once you know the rules it's pretty good.

These threads might be of interest:

The first 4 I do not care for. Underrated and overrated are stupid words to use as they degrade and insult anyone who thinks otherwise. Those words are too subjective. I don't want it to be a debate between people who think something overrated is underrated and something underrated is overated in this topic. The last one was ok but from more than over a year ago. I have no idea how you found that one but why not start this one and actually continue it. |

And I have nothing against this topic--I do intend to answer it, but I'm not at home at the moment and can't take the time. |

Woahh horsey, pull back on the reins there a little bit Zalis
But I must say LK, your reply did come of a little conceited and overbearing, I don't know if that has something to do with an image that's supposed to be reflected by your user name, but regardless that kind of attitude is not going to get you very far on these forums. Plus this thread is nothing more than a list thread with slightly detailed mention of unrelated anime. Maybe if you concentrate on one or two titles and reflect on why they might be underappreciated that might be more interesting and worth a discussion. |

[To Zalis116]
Ah.. I wasn't trying to be conceited at all. I'm not used to this kind of forum type so I just checked the first few pages for this same topic. I'm not sure what kind of people post here. I usually post on Gamefaqs so whenever there is one of those "underrated/overrated" topics, it always gets out of hand, which is why I was trying to avoid that idea. If those terms, "lesser-known," "underrated," "overlooked," and "less appreciated" all have the same meaning here then that's fine. Now I know because I've always had this thing when people say so and so is overrated. Sounds too objective to me for some reason, even if it is only an opinion. And about those other topics you linked. I didn't know what your intentions were. I originally thought your were trying to tell me there are others like this out there and that it should go there. If it's a misunderstanding then that's fine. Each forum has it's own way and a unique set of people within a general atmosphere. [EDIT: No need for excessive quoting. Read rule #6.

lol. The name comes from FFVI. Anyone who knows who Kefka is knows what I'm talking about.
Well, I would like that but I wanted to avoid specificity and toss a range of things that will interest people. A little something in a range of genres. Also, I really don't want to post and spoil anything in the discussions. |

Yes, Kefka is easily one of the strongest villians in the FF series. He hates and doesn't trust anybody and believes the our existance is completely meaningless and has no point. Thats who Kefka is.

Yeah, the name seems to fit the personality so far, I guess... That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. It could lead to a good debate/discussion here and there. FFVI is my favorite FF, by the way (gotta' love that double Genji Glove with two maxed Atma Weapons  = pwnage).
Anyway, back on topic... I definitley agree Mind Game is under the radar. If you're an open-minded anime fan and have a knack for watching the surreal (and maybe "obscure" if that's a good word), you'll love MG with one viewing. The production qualities alone are out there, but in a very refreshing way. Art style, animation, music, and all the hidden messages are a blast to experience. Feel free to read some thoughts by other users in the "Mind Game awesomeness" thread and revive it if you want. |

YAY!! Or toss them for fun with Shadow and/or Gogo against Kefka...*reaches for the heart* Yeah. Mind Game is incredibly inspiring. The style of Animation is so unique also. But the best part is the character developments. You literally WATCH them go through different phases one would usually experience in a life time. Omg! You play maple Story? Do NOT let that consume your soul. I have friends fail their first semester because of this game...Stay..away.. from the..light! On that note, awesome job ANN to have the Solty Rei banners up. I so plan to get those DVDs. I encourage everyone to buy it! Experience what Last Exile + BGC 2040 feels like!! <3 Solty [EDIT: Combined your two posts into one.

Any series that hasn't made it to the US is underrated. I should know, since I've seen series some friends there haven't. Guys, you're missing lots of great series
 (although well, Colombia's really low on anime -_-U)

Most of my unknown favorites are manga, but an anime not many people know of that I love is called Petite Princess Yucie. It by GAINAX, and it's about a girl named Yuci who looks ten, even though she's seventeen. One day, she hears about the Eternal Tiara, which will grant any wish you want if you obtain it by becoming the Platinum Princess. Yucie's wish is to become an adult. She, along with four other girls, becomes a Platinum Princess candidate. The charcters are all interesting, especially Glenda, the Princess of the Demon World and the second Platinum Princess candidate. I was dissapointed the ending the first time I watched, but I liked it more the second time through. It's none the less a GAINAX ending.....
