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.

5 Arata: The Legend
6 Samurai 7

Is a retelling of a classic but in a fantastical setting including mechs and whatnot.

7 Hell Girl

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

8 Nabari no Ou
9 Samurai Champloo Samurai Champloo 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.

Completely enjoyable. story, art work. etc.

10 Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, known in Japan as Hoshi no Kirby, is a Japanese anime series created by Warpstar, Inc.

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.

The Contenders

11 Jūsō Kikō Dancouga Nova

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

12 Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple

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.

13 Ponyo
14 Nichijou Nichijou
15 Heroic Age
16 Majestic Prince
17 Pani Poni Dash!
18 Dragon Ball GT Dragon Ball GT

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.

This along with the 1999 version should easily be among the top 10 greatest animes of all time

This is by far one of the most entertaining and action packed anime out there

It's good but far from underrated. - Tia-Harribel

23 F-Zero: GP Legend F-Zero: GP Legend
24 Elder God Demonbane
25 The Law of Ueki
26 Magic Knight Rayearth
27 After War Gundam X

It's such a shame that it got overshadowed by Neon Genesis Evangelion. - PerfectImpulseX

28 Gatchaman Crowds Gatchaman Crowds Gatchaman Crowds is a 2013 anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Production and directed by Kenji Nakamura.

I see this as the anime equivalent to Azure Striker Gunvolt 1 & 2 in terms of tone and atmosphere. - PerfectImpulseX

29 Betterman
30 Kanon (2002)
31 Sonic X Sonic X Sonic X is a Japanese anime television series created by TMS Entertainment and based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series published by Sega.

33 Trigun Trigun
34 Black Butler Black Butler Black Butler is a Japanese anime television series produced by A-1 Pictures and premiered in October, 2008.

What? This is actually very popular

I wouldn't say that black butler is underrated its more on the overrated

Kinda underrated kinda overrated because of rabid fangirls like me - KianaLexi

35 11eyes

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

38 Digimon Savers
39 Kodocha

Kodocha goes back to the good 'ol days of romance anime.

40 Space Dandy Space Dandy

Mind blowing this Anime saved my mood more than once - TopiTaupe

41 Spider Riders
42 Danganronpa

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

43 Ajin: Demi-Human Ajin: Demi-Human
44 Fafner in the Azure
45 Squid Girl Squid Girl 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.

46 Hyouka Hyouka

An awesome anime that isn't very recognized
