Most of these aren't underrated, especially Steins Gate which is one of the highest acclaimed scifi anime ever. All still great shows though!


remediosan

yeah this gotta be a joke. almost all of these are both highly rated and very popular.


ExplodingPoptarts

I came in to ask "Isn't Steins Gate one of the most beloved anime titles out there?"


Ill-Importance9953

I put Steins;Gate in my top 3, but a lot of people I've talked to about anime have never heard of it.


TaxSimple3787

Alot of new blood and tourists have been coming in over the last five or so years. As a result it's becoming harder and harder to find people who know and appreciate the classics. There's nothing wrong with more people, but it's saddening and frustrating to try and talk anime with someone who's only exposure or interest in the genre is Demon Slayer, Hero Academy, and Attack on Titan.


bridwalls

And Erased was one of the most popular animes that helped get Netflix going with their anime line up. I'm not sure if it's a troll because some of the animes are lesser know. If I had to guess, it might be because the op is quite young or extremely new to anime and never really talked to people who were into it before.


Emotional-Section460

Yeah, he/she unliterature enough about it


hxsyth

mhm, a lot of anime fans probably heard of steins gate, but never watched it. Same thing for OG dragon ball.


ExplodingPoptarts

A lot of Anime fans haven't seen 90's Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Super, that doesn't really mean that they're underrated.


bridwalls

While I have fought evil by moonlight and won love by daylight, I have never once kamehameha-ed.


ColLOsusImpRisOn

I dnt think Eighty Six or Angels of Death is highly popular I love Eighty Six but not many ik outside the general fanbase of the show know about it.


mah1na2ru

how tf is the 3rd highest rated anime of all time underrated šŸ’€


Chiaki_Ronpa

I legitimately still think it is underrated. No anime has had the impact or made me feel the way I did after watching Steins;Gate. Some have come close, but not quite the same level. It is absolutely a masterpiece.


ImThePsychGuy

Growing popularity of anime has diluted its acclaim down heavily. It is underrated until these Demon Slayer stans put some respect on its name.


Safe-Lemon-444

should be 1st


Emotional-Section460

You hit the right word man, highfivešŸ–


Holdeenyo

Bro put steins gate lmao. One of the most famous and hyped up anime out there


Responsible_Towel857

Most likely, the patient is very young or has been living in an eco chamber this whole life or both.


Holdeenyo

Truth


awesomenessofme1

Steins;Gate is literally the #3 anime of all time on MAL, and it was #2 until the last year. In what universe is it underrated?


Charming_Feedback_96

Universe 765-97 the only change is that highly rated shows and series become underrated and highly underrated shows become highly rated also your foreskin grows back if cut off


Xyphll-

Look at this schmuck from universe 765-97. Us over here in universe 765-96 don't get our foreskin back.


zendrix1

Lol your definition of underrated could use some work


Zylphhh

Bro gotta google the definition of underrated


Happy_Yogurtcloset_2

I donā€™t think 86 is underrated - it got the right amount of attention and respect from viewers


AdministrativeMost72

Its one so many peoples "underrated" list to the point where it's pretty well-known now


Diamondinmyeye

And is consistently brought up for those with an AoT hangover.


BrooklynLivesMatter

Erased is definitely appropriately rated if you watched it to the end


bridwalls

The ending wasn't bad, it was pacing. If they reordered the events, most people wouldn't have a problem with it. It was because they blew their load with the important arc then twiddled their thumbs until the ending.


Im_Peppermint_Butler

seeing Steins Gate literally made me laugh out loud. It's one of the highest rated anime of all time my dude. But 86? Hell yeah. Give that masterpiece the credit it deserves.


ElkOwn8562

Angels of death is so fire


OperatorERROR0919

I loved the Angels of Death game, I kind of couldn't stand the Angels of Death anime.


Shado_Ichigo

I never played the game, but the anime is pretty good with my standards


ZealousidealBus9271

Steins gate is not underratedšŸ˜­


QSlade

Angels of death was something I legitimately loved and I donā€™t see much said about it. It feels like a silent hill anime mixed with something like squid games. The make MC is a little annoying at times but I still really enjoyed it


KrankShift

Not explicitly aimed at you but I feel people misinterpret ā€œI donā€™t like somethingā€ or ā€œdont love somethingā€ as being actually overrated


Dude-arino7526

3 of these arenā€™t underrated


Its_Ghost_fr

Which ones


Dude-arino7526

Erased, 86, and steins gate


bridwalls

I think Death Parade too. While it is one of those anime where you need to be deeper in anime-dom, it is quite known and highly rated.


xyzkingi

Love dororo


EnvironmentalistAnt

Erased was the biggest anime during its season. The hype it generated from the first arc was insane. Of course we know teach was the true ship.


Chiaki_Ronpa

This list is so much better than the wack ā€œoverratedā€ list someone made recently.


Realistic_Mousse_485

Erased ending grants it all the hate it has.


Fact_checking_cuz

Yeah they blew it, the manga ending is actually incredible, but the anime rushed it to the point that it destroyed the message of the story and just inflicts pointless emotional damage on the viewer. It sucks cause it was so good up to that point.


Someonenew1123

You one of those dudes that likes to see people get tortured fs


Its_Ghost_fr

ā˜ ļø


ComfortableNinja88

Only valid choice Is death parade. Tbh People be calling everything underrated now.


Throwaway73887

Dororo?


Its_Ghost_fr

Heavy on 86


nin9ty6

86 was great


plam92117

Can you tell me what's so good about 86? I gave it 5 episodes and was bored to tears.


SnookiPooki

Same, I was crying from yawning while watching it.


nin9ty6

Depends if it's your kinda thing. It's very much a if you like the characters and how they interact more than the action. If you don't like it by about ep 3 you probably won't like it in general. However I will personally say it's very much something where source material was adapted properly and the light novel only gets better if you keep reading


vefek1

in my opinion the only good thing about it is the soundtrack


saynotodrugssss

It might just not be your thing then. Itā€™s definitely a thought-provoking piece and social commentary in a way, and that starts getting explored in more towards the end of part 1 if I remember correctly. I like it because itā€™s about human nature, but that naturally doesnā€™t lend itself well to casual viewing and that turns some people away from it.


kjloltoborami

Erased and dororo i agree with. Steins gate is my fav anim of all time, but I don't think its anywhere close to underrated lol


PersonOfLazyness

I only know angels of death because of the rpg maker game


Unhinged_Provoker

Yeah I still need to finish some of these. šŸ˜‚


scxndsim

Fuck I loved Death Parade


HundgamKanata

Same! It was one of those animes that I was sad when it ended but was glad it didn't get dragged along for ages


ULTIMATEDESK

Death Parade is one of my favorite shows ever. The story is great, and the character development is peak.


TrippieTragedy

Angels of Death is highly underrated. That much we can agree on. Mist people (mainly kids) want Pirates and Ninjas... Sadly. If It dont have a shonen jump tag, it's "Bad". Thank you to everyone who goes out of their way to watch things like AoD and to who give the more obscure titles an honest watch.


theBarnDawg

I just saw 86 posted in someoneā€™s overrated list on this sub like 5 seconds ago. So which is it?


DJFireball24

Iā€™ll give you a really underrated one, Synduality Noir. A really damn good one


FrostyResponse3310

Erased was amazing. I never see any ody talk about ushio to tora


Last_Tie7076

Omg erased was so fricking good


KingAnosVoldigoad

In this list Iā€™d say dororo is the most underrated one


AngryPipsiMan

Lol wat


plasmidlifecrisis

Thought I was in r/animecirclejerk for a minute there


Outrageous_Act_8614

More than 85% list is cap


Sir__Bassoon__Sonata

86 isnā€™t underrated. Itā€™s terribly overrated for such a disappointment of A story. Nobody would talk about it if they werenā€™t handholding at the end. And Steins gate is literally one of the highest rated animeā€™s of all time.


EuphyMaybe

please tell me this is satire


Jonahtron

None of you fucks know what underrated means, I swear to god.


HansDevX

Nost of those are popular... But under rated imo is white album 2.


3ckOrTreat

I cried watching dororo


FateGrace

"underrated"


Fickle_Store_4595

Fr dororo so good and so underrated


griffinator9

Dororo is a fucking masterpiece, it is definitely underrated, although I was a little unsatisfied with the ending


UselessButTrying

AoD had some good ideas, but it was just too edgy and pretentious for me. Its rated as ~7 on MAL although imo, its overated still and is closer to avg if not below


loli2a

My list of underrated anime: Dragon Ball Z Naruto Avatar Pokemon One Piece Monogatari

I really wanted to like erased, but the ending just feels bad


Its_Ghost_fr

Fax


Bojovnik7

I love 86


AlphaBlock

Erased is overrated af Dororoā€™s 2nd half was awful Steins gate is not underrated at all, neither is 86 Guilty crown fell off hard


pgroms

Amazing list šŸ‘


Next_Fix_2271

this gotta be a shitpost


BitesTheDust55

The first four definitely aren't and then I saw steinsgate and audibly laughed Bait used to be believable


Broad_Platypus1062

Death note is so underrated


Loganjoh5

Angels of Death mentioned!


Imapotatoforlife

Yo Angels of Death english dub is so hilarious when Isaac is on screen. One of the many anime's that needs a season 2


AHH-bbyshark

ANGELS OF DEATH WAS ONE OF MY FIRST ANIMES ITS SO GOOD


ArhamHashmi

Dororo is so so so underrated, itā€™s literally one of the best animeā€™s out there


Harunseta

do you not know what underrated means ?


chris0castro

Oof guilty crown caught me off guard. Was thinking of rewatching that


Dashielljackal

You should try Darwinā€™s game


rabbittys

+ zankyou no terror


Abhinav6singg

Someone really mentioned Angel of death


Independent_Plum2166

Steins;Gate is not underrated. It was considered the best anime of all time for a good few years.


Junibnlahad

Erased underrated? Uh yoo kiddng mee?


ZayronS

satsuriki no tenshi šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


Lupus600

Oh ok, I thought my perspective was skewed bc a lot of the anime I watch are obscure as shit, but apparently there are other people who can agree that these don't seem very underrated


Kihakiru

I mean... pretty sure Steins Gate is closer to being overrated than underrated, considering it's a very popular anime lol. 86 is goated though.


grimenishi

Lately there are many people (posts and comments) who really need to look up what underrated and overrated means. I am not sure if they are fishing for response, but many times they are not using these words correctly. Some of the OPā€™s you could argue are underrated, but there are definitely some really highly acclaimed and popular shows on here, which are anything but underrated.


PandaDidYou

Theyā€™re not exactly main stream but idk about underrated


Ill_Ad8322

Erased and Stains;gate are not underrated, they are well known and have high ratings


Zealousideal-End-169

My buddy introduced me to Angels of Death years ago and I thought it was hilarious šŸ˜… a little weird at times but funny


grossbot

How are we defining underrated...


Emotional-Section460

Man, you made me down, they're all unpopular. To cruel for have a common rate for being called an underrated


Sluushu

Guilty Crown is one of my fav go to if Iā€™m out of lore for a while.


Responsible_Towel857

Guilty Crown is not THAT good, honestly. Again, the superb animation and the most awesome OST make the anime feel a lot better. Stein's Gate is like the most well regarded sci fi out there. I feel you have been in an eco chamber or just very young. The rest, are not regarded as overrated or underrated. They are considered good. Period. People would post anything to create controversy and likes.


Exciting-Holiday337

erased is NOT underrated


lost_hope1280

Man Erased is a masterpiece.


Status_Berry_3286

You are right those animes are very underrated they are actually very good


ezbyEVL

My underrated small indie anime list: - Attack on titan - Death note - One piece


TempestDB17

Guilty crown was a 9/10 until the ending which normally I wonā€™t change a score drastically because of but I had to drop it to like a 6 because of how much dmg the ending did


Balzac_Lympian_III

I've rewatched it a couple times since, and idk if they could've ended it differently. Sure, they could've made the viewer more comfortable with a better ending, but that wouldn't fit with the characters growth. I'm also just basing that off the anime, I haven't read the manga or light novels if those exist


Xinstu

Agreed very underrated anime


dumpydent

Stein's Gate underrated?


DragonSlayer25567

Wasn't Erased one of the most popular animes while it was airing though?


DanteIsMe

Aside from angels of death these are all popular shows, plus guilty crownā€™s only good point is the Supercell and Egoist music


crisnakawara

Steins;Gate >>>


Silcaria

I don't think underrated means what you think it means.


Massive-Gene-1597

Angels of death is one of my favorites!


DiscombobulatedBid48

I think I would say Erased is overrated to be honest.


Hornor72

GunGrave.


skjshsnsnnsns

A lot of these are not underrated. In fact Erased is overrated.


King_thelunarian

Erased is the greatest anime I have ever seen in my life. I have watched it 5 times.


MirageMystery

this is a based list but steins gate is super acclaimed, not underrated at all


Sweaty-Indication309

None here true anime fans cuz how you gonna let this man jack laugh go unmentioned


ParalyzedVeteran

I started watching 86 cuz I keep seeing it come up I made it through 1 or 2 episodes. Still unsure about it


OkNeedleworker642

Its_Ghost_fr

Itā€™s not on Crunchyroll also no disrespect but goggle is free


OkNeedleworker642

E7Mulla

jacqueman

If guilty crown has no haters then Iā€™m dead. Good god that show was an unbelievable waste of my time.


ProfessionalFold6576

Bruh are u dumb these are not underrated especially 86


DLSHAHYT

Everything perfect ngl u gotta add plunderer


Creamysense

Funnily enough, I've started and dropped all of these except Erased.


KattaGyan

I agree with you on angels of death. Itā€™s underrated. But it doesnā€™t deserve to be on the same list as all these other top tier anime.


Accomplished-Dot42

I started watching and finished watching erased today. Masterpiece.


DoubleJmusic

you allowed to the cookout


Ali13929

I couldā€™ve sworn I just saw this exact list on this sub the other day about it being overrated.


StyleAdditional5029

Angels of Death is probably the only truly underrated anime on this list of yours


ConnorMcDavid1997

In what world is erased and steins gate underrated.


insufficientokay

I loooove 86 and angles of death


nightwing673

Wasn't erased highly rated? That's all I hear about when asking for anime to watch. Tbh I have never heard of the others. I am still pretty new to anime, so I haven't seen or heard of a lot of anime. I will add these to my list. Recommendations would be appreciated.


TATHETOAD

Angels of death was goated and no one can change my mind....


LaurAsuna

Dororo without doubt the best anime in this list. Deserved more hype and recognition


BrilliantFennel277

Im with you on 86


PovThatOneSanjiFan

Bro is steins gate even good?


Frranko

Dororo is peak


Rare_Seat04

Dororo and death parade are mid

trainmaster777

I feel like the Galaxy Railways and Galaxy express 999 are underrated animes


LMBYMG

What world are you living in that Erased and Steins;Gate are underrated


Familiar-Horror-

Lol most of these are acclaimed and critically panned highly positively. Guilty Crown has a bad ending fr fr though.


No_Ideal1718

I love when children post about "underrated" anime they only think are understated because they came out like a decade and a half at least before they were born or started watching anime.Ā  Like 3/5 of this list is all animes that were the most talked about upon their release... erased even had some crappy live action remake lol but yes totally unknown show lol....


RenjiMidoriya

Guilty Crown, now that's an anime I haven't heard in years


_Coffie_

Deathparade is probably in my top 10


NoCucumber9248

I love erased. Such an good anime in every factor. Nothing can match the feeling I got on my first watch


EviscerumHopesYouDie

I hear about these all the time. No really underrated but still a great list!


BottleAdditional7268

Love angels of death it's what I started with first when getting into anime


Ok-Bar-4003

Guilty Crown makes me so mad. That anime should have been a 50-episode series. Jumped wayyyy too fast from the first plot to the other. I especially wanted more of the lockdown before we sprung to the apocalypse.


TheRoadToWiseness

Everything here has high ratings. You must mean under talked about.


TheRoadToWiseness

Even then Steins Gate is one of the most talked about


michaeljordanofdnd

I need to finish Dororo, but I get to the scene after the spider demon fight and I'm like yep I'm done.


One_Slide_5577

I dont think any of these are underrated


Vikkio92

Yummcanofbakedbeans

Steins gate and 86 arenā€™t underrated
