Hidden gems (under 10k watched)

These tittles deserve much more attention.
1 Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 10/10.

This one is definetly not for everyone. It's long and focuses on politics and strategical side of warfare. Anyway, it's true masterpiece with many complex characters, good storytelling and how deep it is. 

2 Scum's Wish

Scum's Wish

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 9/10.

Tbh I was sure this one will be a huge sucess when it came, but somehow it was left without that much attention. Anyway, Kuzu no Honkai is better version of Bokura ga Ita. Romance that tries to be a little more complex and deals with less 'romantic' side of love.

3 After the Rain

After the Rain

Under 5k  as for 2020.03. 8/10.

Not your usual romance, but it was great. It's about lost dreams and love, that have no future.

4 Welcome to the Ballroom

Welcome to the Ballroom

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

It's just really good sport anime. It have everything, that you would want from this genre. Intense moments, well writen characters, good animation and decent soundtrack. And it's pretty unique.

5 Beastars

Probably people were scared of CGI, but that's so wrong! Animation here is superb (just for it alone you should watch this) and story is decent. And it's pretty unique.

6 Run with the Wind

Run with the Wind

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

To be blatant it's just Haikyuu about running marathons. If you are into sport anime you should totally watch it!

7 Hinamatsuri

Hinamatsuri

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

My top 1 comedy of all time. It have a few serious moments.

8 Golden Kamuy

Golden Kamuy

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

I totally don't get why it's unpopular. Unusual setting, great story, action, comedy and well writen characters. 

9 Vinland Saga

Vinland Saga

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

Unusual setting for anime, with decent story, good animation and few excellent written characters.

10 Dororo (2019)

Dororo (2019)

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

I guess absence of potential waifu really hurt this one. It's more mature version of Kimetsu no Yaiba, with really good animation (except for one episode, but let's not talk about this), complex characters and great soundtrack.

11 Inuyashiki: Last Hero

Inuyashiki: Last Hero

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

True gem. Mature theme, unusual characters and superb soundtrack. 

12 ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.

ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

I really don't have idea why it's here. Great story, interesting characters, unique style and great soundtrack. This one really have everything to be popular.

13 The Great Passage

The Great Passage

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

I guess for most people it will be pretty boring. Don't expect here any fireworks or plot twists. It's just great slice of life, that is decent in every aspect.

14 March Comes in like a Lion

March Comes in like a Lion

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10. 

Second season got from me 10/10 and I gave only 10 of these with 800+ watched anime. It's probably most mature and complex sport anime I watched so far.

15 Giant Killing

Giant Killing

Under 5k  as for 2020.03. 8/10.

Best anime about football and one of very few sport anime that is not about one player, but about managing a team.

16 Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin

Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

Mature theme, sometimes disturbing. It's about post world war Japan.

17 One Outs

One Outs

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

Psychological wars and gambling in baseball games. Not your typicall sport anime.

18 Kaiji - Ultimate Survivor

Kaiji - Ultimate Survivor

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 8/10.

Characters are really badly drawn, but story is great! It's intense, there is great character development and it shows worst side of humans. 

19 Ahiru no Sora

Ahiru no Sora

Under 5k (barely above 1k) as for 2020.12. 8/10

Great, realistic sport anime. A little too much drama for my taste, but i still highly recommend it to anyone interested in basketball.

20 Given

Given

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

I guess people don't like shounen-ai that much. But it's really great romance, sweet, but dealing with pretty mature theme (loss of loved one and moving on).

21 Ascendance of a Bookworm

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Isekai that is not about adventuring and op characters. It has below average animation and I don't like how characters are drawn, but story is good.

22 Fire Force

Fire Force

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Soul Eater in different, but interesting setting. And with much better written characters.

23 Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Great parody. I had really good time watching this, but as it is for parodies usually, it is not for everyone.

24 Stars Align

Stars Align

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Sport anime that is not about sport, but rather about difficult childhood and ways to deal with it. Interesting title.

25 Zombie Land Saga

Zombie Land Saga

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Decent comedy with a few gold moments. It is worth watching for Tatsumi alone (hats down for voice actor).

26 Sirius the Jaeger

Sirius the Jaeger

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Western style action series. Nothing exceptional, but it does much better job as action anime than a few very popular titles (like DanMachi or Seraph of the End for example).

27 IRODUKU: The World in Colors

IRODUKU: The World in Colors

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Heartwarming story about loneliness. Not as good romance as some popular titles, but if you run off good rated stories in this genre you should check this one.

28 Hinomaru Sumo

Hinomaru Sumo

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Animation sometimes is pretty dull and I didn't care about most characters (with is pretty bad for sport anime), but if you like sport anime you should check this one. Even if this have many flaws, somehow you won't be able to stop watching.

29 Tsurune

Tsurune

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

It was really fresh in some ways. Give it a try if you are into sport genre.

30 Banana Fish

Banana Fish

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Aaaand another shounen-ai that is not popular only because of genre (or that's what I think, it have everything to be popular). To be honest it's more like bromance and story is really good, so you really should give it a try.

31 Megalo Box

Megalo Box

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Ashita no Joe with robotic arms. Fights are intense, main character is well written, soundtrack is great.

32 Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens

Durarara with assassin's. I really liked how chaotic (in a good way) it was and how colorful characters were.

33 Chio's School Road

Chio's School Road

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

One of the best comedy shows that came recently. Jokes are fresh, characters funny. I really liked it.

34 Altair: A Record of Battles

Altair: A Record of Battles

Under 5k (barely above 1k) as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Arslan Senki in Ottoman Empire. Tbh if not dull animation and how story was rushed near the end I would give it even higher score, than Arslan got. In terms of story it's really great show.

35 B: The Beginning

B: The Beginning

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Unusual one. Western style action/mystery anime that is actually good. Worth giving a try.

36 Baby Steps

Baby Steps

Under 10k (barely above 5k) as for 2020.03. 7/10.

Decent sport anime. In some ways better than best known titles in genre. But it lacks intensity in matches, especially early on, to best them. Anyway worth watching.

37 Yowamushi Pedal

Yowamushi Pedal

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10.

I liked how realistic it was. No super powers, special moves or anything like that. In other aspects is not that different from many other titles. Oh, and actually second season is better.

38 Silver Spoon

Silver Spoon

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10

I guess not everyone is interested in anime about learning how to run a farm. Well I wasn't at first as well. Just give it a try and you will probably won't regret this.

39 Humanity Has Declined

Humanity Has Declined

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10

Dark comedy in post apocalyptic world. Must see for a every comedy fan.

40 House of Five Leaves

House of Five Leaves

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10

Well written and well executed story. It's actually not something you will remember for lifetime, but it's certainly worth watching.

41 Kurozuka

Kurozuka

Under 10k (barely above 5k) as for 2020.03. 7/10

I had really mixed feelings about this one. It's great in some aspects, average in others and totally fails in some. Confusing, disturbing, but somehow interesting. Worth giving a try.

42 Shigofumi

Shigofumi

Under 10k (barely above 5k) as for 2020.03. 7/10

Great concept, good execution. It's episodic at first but later on we jump on to main strony. And main story is pretty disturbing.

43 Akagi

Akagi

Under 10k (barely above 5k) as for 2020.03. 7/10

I'm a big fan of Kaiji so this one was a must see for me, but it's definitely not for everyone. Strange drawing style, gambling as main theme and mahjong. If all of this don't scare you off, give it a try.

44 Bokurano

Bokurano

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10

I'm really not a fan of mecha, but this was surprisingly good. Probably because it's more about hard choices and psychological struggle, than fighting in giant robots.

45 Emma: A Victorian Romance

Emma: A Victorian Romance

Under 5k as for 2020.03. 7/10

Decent romance in unique setting. I liked mellow atmosphere in it, but some will probably find it boring.

46 Cromartie High School

Cromartie High School

Under 10k as for 2020.03. 7/10

Anime without any animations. I loved many things about it, but there also some flaws. Anyway great anime for comedy lovers.

47 Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo!! Masaru-san

Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo!! Masaru-san

Crazy parody about martial arts. Just check 2 first episodes and if it didn't click, it won't.

48 Boogiepop Phantom

Boogiepop Phantom

Under 10k (barely above 5k) as for 2020.03. 7/10

Disturbing, confusing, psychedelic. I really liked it, but I guess it's not for everyone.

49 Wangan Midnight

Wangan Midnight

Under 5k (barely above 1k) as for 2020.08. 7/10

As I really enjoyed Initial D, it was certain that sooner or later I will watch Wangan. And it turns out as really good anime. I didnt like a few first episodes, but then it became really good. A little less intense than Inital D, but still good watch.

50 Slam Dunk

Slam Dunk

Under 10k as for 2020.08. 7/10

Games were intense, no superpowers or shit like this. I really enjoyed this one. Would be even better if there wasn't so many loud characters. Because of main character laugh I got a few times head pain.
