This is the most underrated anime in the planet. It deserve more attention

Fate/stay night is a Japanese visual novel and anime series by Type-Moon. There are three story lines in the visual novel: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel. A 24-episode anime series based on the Fate route and a film based on the Unlimited Blade Works route were made by Studio Deen. A ...read more. It's not underrated anywhere else where anime is involved, but over here on TheTopTens, it surely is underrated. I never see anything on the list feed where a visitor or a user other than me votes for something Fate/Stay Night-related. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
Not many people nowadays talk about Fate/Stay Night anymore. It's a shame.
I don't know this anime but it has certainly caught my attention. I want to see it!
This anime was really good. Definitely in my top 10 favorites.
An amazing series. The main character Ai Enma is a great and tragic protagonist.
My favorite horror anime! Sadly it gets little to no attention.-Vestalis
Is a retelling of a classic but in a fantastical setting including mechs and whatnot.
Most underrated in my opinion! This anime is so good! I think it's one of those shows that is amazing the first time you watch it, and also when you watch it from then on! It's pretty layered if you look for it! And I think people of any age, gender, background, etc can enjoy this! There is something in it for everyone!
If you're a fan of G Gundam or Zatch Bell you'll love this one
The end is heartbreaking but it is definitely worth the watch!
Samurai Champloo is a Japanese anime series developed by Manglobe. Samurai Champloo is set in an alternate version of Edo-era Japan with an anachronistic, predominantly hip hop, setting. It follows Mugen, an impudent and freedom-loving vagrant swordsman; Jin, a composed and stoic rōnin; and Fuu, a ...read more. This anime is full of action, witty comedy and overall very entertaining. Even though its story and ending were lacking, fans still loved watching it the entire way through.
Unfortunately, all people wanted to watch at the time in terms of action anime were "Naruto" and "One Piece", which is why Samurai Champloo didn't gain much attention.
Everyone should watch it, that's all that can be said about it.
Completely enjoyable. story, art work. etc.
The Newcomers
Way overhated. It's a refreshingly lighthearted and childish take on the franchise
The best yugioh series since the original. It has exciting duels, interesting characters, and emotional stories.
The Contenders
People tend to overlook this shonen gem. It's got great characters, humor, and ethnic diversity. Needs to be in more critics' top lists. - UnderratedEpisodeAdvocate
Aw this was my favourite when I was a kid
So true! - narutoisepic864
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, also known in Japan as New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, is a 1995 Japanese mecha anime series directed by Masashi Ikeda and written by Katsuyuki Sumizawa. It popularized Gundam in the West, but for some reason is unknown in Japan
Mobile Fighter G Gundam, also known in Japan as Mobile Fighting Legend G Gundam, is a 1994 Japanese animated television series produced by Sunrise and the fifth installment in the long running Gundam franchise. The black sheep of the gundam family. It may not have the dark themes and serialized stories of the classics, but the action, music, and animation are awesome. - UnderratedEpisodeAdvocate
Wait? G Gundam is underrated?! But it's one of the Gundam series that people in the US and (I think) Canada tend to talk about the most!
I still love this series though. XP - PerfectImpulseX
I don't hear many people praise or talk about this anime, but it certainly is worth the watch, even the reviews of it on youtube don't have many comments about it.
It is such a shame this anime got overshadowed by Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as it came out the same time as TTGG. - PerfectImpulseX
One of the few good animated T.V. show remakes - PerfectImpulseX
Even though it has almost nothing to do with the source material - PerfectImpulseX
Perfect for Law of Ueki fans
Hunter × Hunter is a manga franchise created by Yoshihiro Togashi. In 1999, Hunter × Hunter was adapted into a 62-episode anime television series produced by Nippon Animation and directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi. The show premiered on Japan's Fuji TV and ran until 2001. Three separate original video ...read more. It's not really unpopular but I feel like it's not getting the popularity it desires. I get really disappointed when everyone knows the "Big 4 Shounen series", when this is one of the best shounen series I've seen.
Even though it's not underrated but I think this show deserves much more attention than some other crappy shows like Naruto which literally copied a lot from this show.
None of my friends even know about this show and call themselves "anime fans"...It's kind of sad...
This along with the 1999 version should easily be among the top 10 greatest animes of all time
The best entry of the entire Nanoha franchise, the best magical girl anime I've ever seen, and a pretty underrated one at that (in my opinion)
It's such a shame that almost nobody talks about the Nanoha franchise anymore and if somebody even talks about it, they almost always just talk about the original series and A's and never about StrikerS, ViVid, ViVid Strike, or any of the movies. :( - PerfectImpulseX
Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, known in Japan as Hoshi no Kirby, is a Japanese anime series created by Warpstar, Inc. So underrated and underappreciated this anime is way better then pokemon in my opinion the voices are done well it's sad it ended so fast and just was forgotten - Toptenanimallovers
In my opinion, this is by far the best anime based on a video game. The characters are just so amazing in this show. I actually prefer Right Back At Ya over the actual games. - Smash64
The original sub is adorable and has a nice charm on it, with some dark episodes to spice things up. Deserve more attention in my opinion
It was good. But the problem is that 4kids got their dirty hands all over it.

Hamtaro, known in Japan as Trotting Hamutaro, is a Japanese children's manga and storybook series created and illustrated by Ritsuko Kawai. It's such an adorable and lovable series

A unique series where the humans actually transform into Digimon
It's such a shame that it got overshadowed by Neon Genesis Evangelion. - PerfectImpulseX
Gatchaman Crowds is a 2013 anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Production and directed by Kenji Nakamura.
Black Butler is a Japanese anime television series produced by A-1 Pictures and premiered in October, 2008. Nah, this ain't underrated. u know what is underrated? The Haunted House Secret of The Ghost Ball! one of my favorites

Kinda underrated kinda overrated because of rabid fangirls like me

This is amazing! Took a while to get used to the 3-D animation but the story and the characters are mind-blowing! - Spiceberry
DEFINITELY underrated that makes me sad ;-;
One of my favorite animes out there it's really amazing and well put together.
Such a suspenseful, intriguing, and surprisingly psychological anime about hope versus despair. Sadly, it's constantly overlooked, and when it is acknowledged, it's criticized for not being as good as the source games. On its own, this is an amazing series. - Absolite
The most creative anime with the most exciting plot but it's not even popular. We must make this first! - Tuana123
A great anime based on a great game
Kodocha goes back to the good 'ol days of romance anime.
Powerpuff Girls Z is a Japanese magical girl anime series directed by Megumu Ishiguro, based on the American animated television series The Powerpuff Girls. The anime is co-produced by Cartoon Network Japan and Aniplex and was animated and produced by Toei Animation, featuring character design by Miho ...read more. While it isn't 10/10 by any means, I still find it enjoyable to watch. To add to this, this is a spin off, so it isn't going to be exactly like the original Power Puff Girls.
This is fairly underrated series overall.
Should be higher on the list. Powerpuff Girls Z is more family friendly and better than most T.V. shows I've watched
Forget What I Said About Powerpuff Girls Z(PS:It is Still Better Than 2016 Powerpuff Girls Reboot)
I Mean:Powerpuff Girls z is Not The Best Anime ever and Isn;t All That Great
Yeah if you want to see a crazy yandere who doesn't hesitate to make the world in danger just for her creepy ass go ahead. - TopiTaupe
Ika Musume is the main character from 'Shinryaku! Ika Musume' an anime about a Squid Girl that wants to punish humanity for polluting the oceans, but ends up breaking a wall and is forced to work at a restaurant to pay off the damages. It's very underrated, and it's one of my favorite comedy animes.
