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!
Fate/stay night originated from a game that came out in 2004.
Within a span of 13 years there's also Fate/ stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/ stay night: Heaven's Feel, Fate/ Zero, Fate/ Grand Order, Fate/ Apocrypha, Fate/ strange Fake, Fate/ Extra, Fate/ Extra: Last Encore, Fate/ Extella, Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia, Fate/ Unlimited Codes, Fate/ tiger colosseum, Fate/ labyrinth, Fate/ school life, Fate/ kaleid, Fate/ Koha Ace and Fate/ Prototype.
With all of these prequels, sequels and spinoffs that take form as anime, manga, novels, games and movies, not to mention its overwhelming popularity in Japan, how this franchise is rarely talked about on this site will forever baffle me.

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

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.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, known in Japan as Hoshi no Kirby, is a Japanese anime series created by Warpstar, Inc. It was good. But the problem is that 4kids got their dirty hands all over 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
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.

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

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

Kodocha goes back to the good 'ol days of romance anime.
40 Spider Riders
41 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

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