For me, I've seen Teknoman and one of the Mazinger series. I mean ones that are so rare it's you may only find them easily on EBay or Amazon.

Up until lately I always thought my bootleg Voltron tapes were rare. Some older hard to find shows I've got/seen would be stuff like the Project A-ko movies, MD Geist, the original Genocyber, original Dirty Pair, and original Dominion Tank Police. One other harder to find title that all places eem to be out of is Big Wars.

Except I've seen Genocyber, MD Geist, the A-KO movies, Dominion Tank Police and most of the Dirty Pair series, so it can't be THAT rare.

Landlock, The Weathering Continent (I just can't find anyone who's seen it), Idol Fighter SU CHI PAI, Toki no Tababito Time Stranger and some others I can't even remember the name of myself!!

EDIT: Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu, not hard to find or rare, but not many people see this.

Majokko Tsukune-chan and Gag Manga Biyori are two awesome anime that are practically unheard of. As far as I know Tsukune-chan hasn't even been fansubbed, but the humor can be easily understood without knowing the language. Watching a happy little girl gleefully bash a piece of bleeding meat with a club is something that can be universally understood. Gag Manga Biyori surprisingly was subbed, and although it's more of a show that'll make you go WTF than laugh it's still a piece of genius.

Twilight of the Dark Master is fairly obscure... I think? So is Legend of Duo, I would assume, since I haven't seen much of anything said about it anywhere. Oku-sama wa Joshi Kousei as well, I think. But the problem is that since anything anime that isnt Naruto or Inuyasha is obscure where I live, I dont really have a good grip on the concept of what is actually "obscure". But these are the titles that I dont think I have seen much about anywhere online.

If you're gonna mention Twilight of the Dark Master you gotta include Darkside Blues as well. Also Kimera, Sin, and Wicked City come to mind.

It is sad really since The Weathering Continent was/is still showing on Encore action, animidnight...Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu, yeah not alot of people have seen this that I know of...sorta sad anime, again my weakness for people dying slowly due to sickness (though that isn't what killed her...I don't think, can't remember too well) always makes the anime sad. Is Cat Soup obscure, I don't think it is but not aot of people seem to have seen it.

For being a CLAMP work, it seems like I run across very few people who have seen (much less own) Miyuki-chan in Wonderland.

Hells bells, it was a sub-only DVD release. You'd think people would be fawning all over it.

Ya but the good thing about that, or bad thing, is that they spoiler[played it out as a slow and painful death, kind of like The Ugly Yet Beautiful World ending but worse for the better.]

1. They're a bunch of needless one-liners, all in the same thread
2. They apparently include multiple unmarked spoilers as well (tags added)
3. They're no better than the crap you find in any run-of-the-mill chat room
4. They're coming from the same person we've already banned once.


Can somebody please ban this mindless person for the second/third/fourth time? This is a thread I'm extremely interested in, but seeing this little boy's trash left everywhere is really annoying.

Lol, I introduced you to those two. They're both greatly under appreciated anime, and I'd recommend them both if you like crazy comedies. Oh, and an animated representation of what she was referring to:



Hmm, trying to think of something else rather unknown... I suppose Pugyuru isn't really that well known, and I found it pretty funny. May be right up anybody's alley who likes the other two previously mentioned ones. It doesn't really make much sense...

I really don't care about the other three since I just ignore them, but I really don't like this one since I haven't seen the those two anime and am thinking about seeing at least one of them. Thanks a lot for spoiling them, iwatch. Always appreciated.
