obscure unheard of animes you love
well, Ive been looking for a new anime to watch... but I cant find anything to obscure...
Hunter x hunter is the last thing I watched, and the most obscure probably...
so what are some really obscure animes you've seen... Im thinking about seeing E's otherwise, but have heard bad reviews...

Try Earthian. I'm pretty sure that's not a frequently-seen anime.  I love it.

Tokyo Battalion, if that's the correct name. Saw it on the action channel like two-three months ago. Street Fighter 2 Which what I thought was a decent one. I still like Blue Gender even though it's been shown on Adult Swim.

Scrapped Princess is really good. It's not really well known but that's because it's more new, rather than obscure. It just got liscensed recently, so good like trying to find it if you decide to start it.
I've seen the first two eps of E's otherwise. They were so-so. I got kinda bored, but it looks like it could get better as it progresses.

Death Zieder...it is a mix of Ruroni Kenshin and Gunbrave/Trigun
Gotta love the bloody ones....it is always nice to see blood and gore.

If it is well known it does not qualify because it is suppose to be unheard of anime.Which I guess is not frequently seen/heard of..Anything on cable/digital/satilite TV can be counted out.
Anyways,I don't know about this but I have never heard of anyone who has heard of this or anything...but Harlock Saga is a really good one.

3 x 3 eyes and Silent Mobius...That's about as obscure as anime gets, except Silent Mobius is kinda known, but not much.

I'm about to start Ragnarok-Demon Detective Loki, it seems fairly obscure because I've never heard it mentioned here.
I know I've seen a Ragnarok manga title, but I'm not sure if its the same one.

Ooo...I'm waiting for this to come out from ADV. I'll second Scrapped Princess. Tsukihime, Gundam X, and Kenran Butoh Sai: The Mars Daybreak are my other favorites.

your talking about Tokyo Babylon i saw it when it aired in may also. i iked Strett Fighter II V also i thought it was alright. Fist of the north star is awesome not many american anime fans know of it but it was a popular anime in japan. umm i love 3x3 eyes i saw that last month on the action channel they showed both 3x3 eyes series i thought the characters yakimo and pai were awesome. umm i don't know if many people know of Vandred i like that currently watching that on the action channel lol i know its an action channel theme they show tons of anime more. also Blue Gender isn't obscure.

thats because Starz the action channelowns the rights to the series a ton of other series including hellsing and Vandred and movies such as Cowboy bebop the movie , akira, Perfect Blue and Ghost in a shell. they have a ton of anime if they wanted to i bet they could start their own 24 anime channel thats how much anime they have i think i saw the Tekken movie on that channel before also.

The only thing I can think of is Detective Conan, which only used to be unknown...

Gunslinger Girl and Melody of Oblivion
Gunslinger Girl is about an Italian organization that takes terminally ill girls and turns them into cybernetic special operatives. There are some awesome, though brief, action sequences, and there's good character development as well.
Melody of Oblivion is... well, I can't really describe it, let me just say that in one scene a bus suddenly sprouts legs and horns and charges at the characters  There's lots of bow and arrow and motorcycle action. It's a GAINAX show, that sums it up best.
Both are perhaps fairly well known as fansubs, but relatively unknown to the mainstream anime watcher.

Tokyo Babylon is my best friend. Seriously. I first saw it around a year or two ago, and now I'm reading the manga as it is being translated by Tokyopop. I own the first volume of the manga and I have the bilingual DVD for the anime episodes.
*points to sig* Tokyo Babylon's by CLAMP, one reason why I like it.

Well I love Angel Sanctuary
AS isn't for everybody and the ending to the OVA is so unfulfilling. Angel Sanctuary has some odd interpretations and statements to make about Christian lore and the incestuous romance might make some people uncomfortable ,but for the open minded it's an anime that is beautiful and affects its veiwers emotionally.

There is actually anime by the name of Ragnarok: The Animation.
This must be the adaptation of the ragnarok manga that is in stores, since I haven't heard of any other animes with ragnarok in the title. |
