favorite "forgotten" anime series?

[quagmire]

Ever "discover" an anime series that no one else seems to be watching or know about? Or one that was sadly short-lived?

Personally I feel like one show in particular -- Monster Rancher -- should have had a better chance. Yeah and I've heard from people that it was just a rough workover of Pokemon (ugh) or Digimon but IT WASN'T. The show was actually pretty good tho the lead character Genki SUCKED and was annoying. The show was only on for about a year and a half where I live, and they showed only two-thirds of the series before it abruptly ended. From what I've heard, there was a whole third season of this never shown on north American TV but I havent' been able to find it.

It wasn't as good as Cowboy Bebop (IMHO) but it wasn;'t that bad. This was actually one of the last Saturday morning shows I followed. The animation backgrounds were awesome and most of the characters seemed pretty well thought out. The corresponding game has had two or three sequels and has a thriving fanbase, but the show itself seems to have fallen into some kind of TV Bermuda Triangle.

So, anyone ever heard of this? Or have a favorite show that mysteriously sank without a trace?

Well, mistery> one of my favorites is Jigoku Sensei Nube 'Hell Teacher Nube' is old 1995 japanese & Vampire Princess Miyu old too.

the pagina with but credibility for my is www.animenewsnetwork.com

[MrPrefect]

hmm I actually have Vampire Princess Miyu episodes 1 - 26 if anyone might want them. I'd be more then happy to give back to the community I get so much from.

then your interest is thanked,an important characteristic.

[Ponzu]

I liked this anime called Houshin Engi, at some parts were boring but I liked it. And the manga series is also good.

[Kiryuu]

Nanaka 6/17 is good, don't hear much about it.
older series before the DivX era is also probably into this "forgotten" categories ?

[Babel]

meh..... comparing monster rancher to Cowboy Bebop (in any way at all) has left me so dumbfounded I can't remember what I was going to post here
:confused: :eek:

[Mobius]

tekkaman blade

[Rocka]

Well, I'm not sure how many people know this title...it call Heavenly War Shurato.

I really like it, it's like Saint Saiya but better in my opinion. I highly recommend it! :D
I first saw it on video, then I brought the import DVD from last year.
Anyone saw this?

[tzuendaniel]

There's an anime that no one seems to know called "Gokudo-kun Maniyuki." Even though I got the series, I only noticed it when a friend of mine spent the night at my place and we watched some anime, and it happened to be THE one anime that we watched. After that, he borrowed it until he finished the series, then returned them and I finished the series.

Another friend of mine asked if I had "Gasarocky" or something like that, but I've never even heard of it. He says it's a good anime, so I'll believe him.

[Kiryuu]

Gasaraki ?

Well, I'm not sure how many people know this title...it call Heavenly War Shurato.

I really like it, it's like Saint Saiya but better in my opinion. I highly recommend it! :D
I first saw it on video, then I brought the import DVD from last year.
Anyone saw this?watch it too, but in the TV, just half of it. can't remember the details. been years ago

[Shiryuu]

Shamanic Princess and Variable Geo, from what I can tell a lot of people haven't heard\seen it...

[Babel]

TzuenDaniel ........... The anime your friend was talking about was probably Gasaraki - it's one I've been looking for for ages. It's licensed (I know because I have the first 4 episodes on dvd). I never found more episodes on disc, so if you ever find a torrent with the series gimme a shout will you? :) Your friend's right - it's very good (at least based on the first 4 episodes anyway).

[Crys]

I only watch sub-mainstream to mainstream anime. BTW, Monster Rancher WAS a rough reworking of Pok

[evr]

Well, mistery> one of my favorites is Jigoku Sensei Nube 'Hell Teacher Nube' is old 1995 japanese & Vampire Princess Miyu old too.Don't think Vampire Princess Miyu could be labled as "forgotten". Almost everyone I know with some anime experience have seen it, except me. I have it on discs, but never really been too interested in it.


Nanaka 6/17 is good, don't hear much about it.
older series before the DivX era is also probably into this "forgotten" categories ?I was looking for this one for a while, but when reading about it and asking some friends, it didn't seem that interesting anymore. But true. It's somewhat forgotten.. :p

After that, he borrowed it until he finished the series, then returned them and I finished the series.Yes, Gokudou-kun Manyuuki is really rare. Don't really understand why, though. It's like Slayers with a frantic guy instead of Lina Inverse.. :rolleyes:

.. and for the rest of you. I actually have Gasaraki in some so-so-quality. If interested, let me know. This release is really old, so don't expect too much, but if you really want it, I can help you. :D

Finally, my own favourite forgotten anime (well it's actually a hentai, but still), Buttobi CPU. It's really funny and it's more of super-ecchi than hentai. Don't think there's any actual genetalia showing in any scene, even though they are having sex. Oh, well. This is a must see for all ecchi/hentai people.. :D:D:D

Edit: Buttobi CPU is actuallt torrented >here< ;) (http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1755)

[Crys]

[COLOR=Purple][SIZE=2][FONT=Book Antiqua]I only watch sub-mainstream to mainstream anime. BTW, Monster Rancher WAS a rough reworking of Pok

[Babel]

evr - thanks for the offer, but I'd hate to have to watch Gasaraki in low quality, the artwork in it was done so beautifully! I just checked the date on the box - you're right, it is old, from 1998. No wonder I can't find it... Oh well, just have to hope someone out there will do a decent rip sometime. Dang, time flies.

[bob04]

i liked berserk, im not sure how popular it is tho. I cant find anyone who likes it!

[nekobekko]

I liked 'Hakkenden, The Legend of the Eight Dogs', It is a samurai anime based on a fictional novel from 1400's. It has a great story. It was acclaimed by many critics, but nobody seems to have heard of it :(

[InitialF]

Um...
have you guys heard "Master Keaton"? i used to read the manga, and recently found out that they have an anime for it.
I enjoyed the manga, but haven't heard anything about the anime.

[orka]

I highly recommend "Gankutsuoh" (a.k.a "The Count of Monte Cristo") by Studio Gonzo.

Gonzo announced the series as their new flagship show, succeeding "Last Exile" from last year. Pretty good storyline so far, and some very creative visuals...


*edit*

O, I just read that this thread is for "forgotten" anime. Sorry about that.

[tzuendaniel]

i liked berserk, im not sure how popular it is tho. I cant find anyone who likes it!

Oh?? You just found one!!! :D Too bad they discontinued after 25 episodes... If you're starving for some Berserk, the manga's still being translated and released (so far, I pretty sure that people are working to complete Volume 28), in case you didn't know.

[annayoh]

the anime version of "Romance of three kingdoms", I've only seen 2 episodes of it.. somehow

[goat_boy]

tekkaman blade

I second that, Uchuu no kishi Tekkaman Blade, is my favourite anime of all time. The tragic story line is so well executed through the characters and music score.

One of those series where you wonder if the character is actually winng or losing after he defeats his enemy...

You can get the torrents for the first half of the series at www.liquidanime.com

[Bobjua]

is Robotech forgotten

its pretty old, and good.

What about Perfect Blue, thats crazy

[Ekuryua]

I don't know if you could call it forgetten per se, but Iria Zeriam.

[BlueHige]

Im sure that no one know it, my favourite forgotten ( snif :( :( ) anime is VOLTUS V , is one of the ton of mecha anime that was on tv around 1980.

If someone know it ill be glad to talk to him/her, coz on 20 years i never meet someone that knows it, and this hurt :( .

[Kazuki]

Seikai Series ( Seikai no Monshou, Seikai no Senki, Seikai no Senki 2 ), Quite popular but no one ever talk about it. The story is superb (to me) and it already released is US as Crest Of The Star, Battleflag/Banner Of The Star 1 and 2.

[Shirokunai]

definatly seconded! i gotta find me the novel someday, i'd love to read what the original creator wanted it to be. the anime series itself though is really great and the storyline is awesome.

[Kitee]

you might not agree with me, but i choose Saint Seiya
and Dragon ballz (drawing was the best in their time)

[Kamui18]

how about Giant Robo? That was pretty good...

[kampfer]

Gasaraki should have been much more popular. The plot was cool, and the mechs rocked.

Also, not enough people have seen Miyuki-chan in Wonderland. It's classy . . . I promise ;) .

[Frosty]

Bastard!, there was only a 6 episodes OVA but it was interesting. Kept waiting for a proper TV series.

Vampire Hunter D, the very first one. Does it qualify? Think most people have only seen Bloodlust.

[tsuyoshiro]

I would have to say elf princess Raine. At least I think that's what it was called, it was only a couple of episodes long, and then apparently the studio lost its funding. Deeply hilarious, although nobody knows what I'm talking about when I bring it up...

[arctic_mask]

[QUOTE=black wizard]Well, mistery> one of my favorites is Jigoku Sensei Nube 'Hell Teacher Nube' is old 1995 japanese & Vampire Princess Miyu old too.

well, btw, where to find "Jigoku sensei", i cant find it nowdays... :(
really want to watch it..

[maohayato]

I would say Hokuto no Ken. just because its old doesn't mean there is a better violent martial arts post apocalyptic fighting anime out there. this is the best but I feel that its being neglected too much.

[Shrikethulhu]

Nanaka 6/17 is good, don't hear much about it.I remember that show. I was totally rooting for the pink-haired chick.

Anyhow, I cast my vote for Maico 2010, which is amusing and fun without falling into schoolage antics. Plus they're half-length eps so its fairly easy to go through the 26 eps.

[kenshinchong]

Hmm... Grander Musashi. It's about a kid who becomes a fishing master. There's two seasons and it used to be airred on AXNasia during 1998. It's also thought me a lot about fishing techniques and theory.

[Adust Wanderer]

It was a nice show. I think it was airred before. I like the different baits they used

[Maria Renard]

how about the anime version of peter pan? is just great!

[Renaissance Cosmetic]

VOLTUS V , is one of the ton of mecha anime that was on tv around 1980.


By this I presume you also mean Voltes V. it's possible to buy some overpriced and dubious quality dvd's on ebay of this from time to time. I never really saw much of it and wouldn't mind seeing it again. But frankly other robots like Daimos and Combattler are higher on my list. Not that much higher I guess though.

I remember Shurato, and yes it was like Saint Seiya, but no its story was worse not just because of all the annoying characters. Come on people better art isn't better anime

[maohayato]

anime version of peter pan, hmmm. could that be the one with the girl who was actually the dark princess, and everyone tried to save her? if that is the one, yes it is the greatest rendition of peter pan in animation.

[Renaissance Cosmetic]

Presumably that's the one where Peter Pan looked like he had a nose transplant... it could have been one of the other characters now that I come to think of it.

Does anyone Remember an anime in the same vein as Doraemon, involving ninjas? I can't remember the name so I can't even search for it.

[Maria Renard]

XDD, nose transplant :D

yes, the first season was with the regular story, and the second season of peter pan anime was the black/white mirror story (gosh, the labyrinth city and the sky giant... those are beautiful memories ;))

[maohayato]

I wish someone would up the peter pan anime. i'd like to see it again after all these years.

[zelda]

I am not sure if someone know this anime
title Heart Beating Tonight or Tokimeki Tonight

[Xelinor]

Well, one I have personally found is that recently, none of the newer anime fans know anything about Slayers. It's like it fell off the side of the anime radar. It used to be one ythat every otaku and anime club had to have int heir library, like a pre-requsite or something, but nowadays it's overlooked by most :(

[kawaiiguy]

Two names immediately top my list:
Iria: Zeriam the animation
Project A-ko

Iria was one of those early-mid 90's sci fi OVAs. It was based on a live action (which I heard was terrible) and followed the story of several bounty hunters. Iria, the story's heroine, seeks to exact revenge on the death of her brother. I really don't remember much of the story very well, except that she use a shotgun that bounced along side her 12 times when she was running... then she picked it up and shot something.

Project A-ko was made in the late 80s (and the soundtrack reflects that) and is the story of three girls: A-ko, B-ko, and C-ko (very original). The orignal movie was originally planned as a hentai, but that just never got off the ground due to the fact that the director had so much fun making comedy. The thing that made the movie shine was that it was a parody of many series up until that point. There's Ranma-esque stuff, Fist of the North Star, Voltron, Macross, Captain Harlock, GX999, etc. etc. The references are amazing.

Basic synopsis: Every day, A-ko and C-ko are late for school. Every morning, they end up running to make it on time. A-ko, however, is not your ordinary schoolgirl. She has super human strength and speed. If it weren't for the restrictive bands on her arms, she could kill things even easier. Thus, the morning sprint towards school is far from normal. B-ko is A-ko's love rival (apparently they fight over C-ko, who is as innocent as a 5 year old). They fight every morning, and since B-ko lacks A-ko's strength, she comes up with all sorts of odd mech concoctions to defeat A-ko. This doesn't really work.

Then the alien ship staffed completely by women and lead by a woman who is more sober while drunk shows up. The possibilities are endless. That's just the first movie. The rest of the OVAs weren't as good, but just as entertaining. :D

[kamiyubidan]

Favorite forgotten anime... there are lots, but currently there's one anime on my mind - Alien 9. Probably because I'm watching it all over again on an anime channel over here, hehe. :cool:

Although the anime OAV is only 4 episodes, it's pretty nice - nice and disturbing, haha! I wish I could get my hands on the manga, though. :cool:

The story's set in the near future wherein aliens have landed on the earth. Three schoolgirls from an elementary school are assigned to battle the aliens that seem to constantly land on their school grounds. They combat the menace by using aliens themselves, symbiotes - borgs, as they call it - which are helmet-like creatures that attach to their head.

It may seem like a light-hearted, comical anime, at first but as the story progresses, the mood becomes darker and intense. :cool:

Too many unanswered questions in the end of the OAV though. Wish they'd make more episodes, yaaaargh. :confused:

[alexxxx]

orguss 02 :P Giant robots and sexy aliens from another dimension. Whats not to like ?

[nafai_gabriel]

* Irresponsible Captain Tylor - pretty old, and not often mentioned but very, very good. (at least as far as the main series was concerned) Also had one of the best ways to send an anti-war message in the last part of the series - more effective than anything Ive seen in, say, Gundam SEED.

* Gestalt - the manga was fairly long running but they only came out with 1 OAV - premise seemed pretty interesting.

[daduy]

Mr. Ajikko, IMHO it's better than cooking master boy :)

[Trinidad]

i loved iczelion. the story was sub-par, but the music and art were fantastic. pity the ost is nigh impossible to find.

then there's another favorite, tekkaman blade. thankfully i was able to find the complete series awhile back.

[Iruka]

Tekkaman Blade

This is the third time this title has shown up in this thread, so I assume there is a certain magic to it as others have already stated. When I was back in Hong Kong I accidentally stumbled acrossed the full VCD set of the title and without any second thoughts I pulled out my wallet and make it my own =D (along with the 6 ep OVA, Tekkaman Blade 2)

took me months of searching but i eventually came across a site that had all the eps for download via ftp servers and direct links. took forever to finally finish downloading though, stupid server user limits. *shakes fist*

[chnkraver]

Heavenly War Shurato, Hakkenden and Gasaraki are i guess favorite "forgotten" anime? i mean, i thought they were good, but i dunno if those 3 anime series were ever popular to be considered forgotten... Yea.... but nevertheless, good. Heavenly War Shurato is more for nostalgic feeling.

[arabias]

Space Warriors Baldios (esp. the Movie)!

http://www.robozzy.com/baldios/baldios.htm

It was so good and revolutionary that no-one except the italians got it. :(

[Javituchi]

Ok, I agree that "Monster Rancher" deserved a second chance too.
In my case, "Gravitation" (although it's well known), didn't showed up on my country. Another favourite to me was the OVAs for "Please Save My Earth", who didn't make it neither... Sad, because they are my favourites ones.

[inlur]

Kingyou Chuihou! hands down. This very amusing show has been overlooked by most eng fansubbers though I heard some group tried subbing it few years ago.

[zizzy]

May i nominate Akazukin Cha-Cha?
It was the 1st mahou shoujo anime i watched =D

[Unit1Evangelion]

Well, one I have personally found is that recently, none of the newer anime fans know anything about Slayers. It's like it fell off the side of the anime radar. It used to be one ythat every otaku and anime club had to have int heir library, like a pre-requsite or something, but nowadays it's overlooked by most :(

i have to totally agree with you there. IMO its still one of the best animes i have ever seen. needs to get more recongition(sp?).

some of you guys mentioned some that came to my mind so i won't repeat but to make my list short(sooo many i could name) here is a few; Elf Princess Rain, Magic Knight Rayearth, Angelic Layer, Tokyo Babylon, Blue Submarine #6, Venus Wars, Key The Metal Idol and Jubei-Chan. Jubei, Angelic and Key were forgotten once the series was done :(. oh for a hentai one Venus 5 :P.

[Iruka]

Unit1Evangelion:

Angelic Layer.... I just downloaded the first 22 chapters of the manga and finsiehd reading those. It's really interesting but it's a pity the series is so short.

Slayers! I only recall watching the first half of the first season, but it's exceptional if my memory serves me.

Magic Knight Rayearth: Plain awesome. I remember myself falling in love with Hikaru's fully grown sword.

Jubei-chan: Some interesting actions, because I got the series way~ after it's done after I was done with the first season I went straight for the second season ^^

[sleeper417]

Otogizoushi (2004). It's the Twelve Kingdoms of Japanese mythology.

[Trinidad]

Unit1Evangelion:

Angelic Layer.... I just downloaded the first 22 chapters of the manga and finsiehd reading those. It's really interesting but it's a pity the series is so short.

Slayers! I only recall watching the first half of the first season, but it's exceptional if my memory serves me.

not really sure i'd call slayers forgotten. it spawned 2 or 3 sequels, a number of movies and dozens of doujin. if anything it's ridiculously popular.

[Asamidori]

YAMATO TAKERU.

But then again i didn't discover it, I watched it when it was airing in Hong Kong... >.>a

[kamui1986]

Samurai Pizza Cats
Violinist of Hameln
Jibakku-kun

[firepika]

i really liked berserk and i was dissapointed when it just ended and also would like to see the rest of guyver wonder if anyone knows that anime

[Unit1Evangelion]

not really sure i'd call slayers forgotten. it spawned 2 or 3 sequels, a number of movies and dozens of doujin. if anything it's ridiculously popular.

im just saying its forgotten for the fact no one mentions it. ya it was popular 5 yrs ago but now i rarely see anyone talk about it on threads or IRL. *shrug*

[maohayato]

maybe because it has become a classic, where all the animelovers have already seen it or know of its existence

[Iruka]

Maohayato:

Hmm I guess Slayers' existence is similar to Sailor Moon and DBZ then... even if they havn't seen those titles for themselves, any person who's into anime should have come across those names some point during their anime career. =D

Chao~

[Notme01]

Mahou Senshi Riui is one of my favorite series, and it also happens to be almost impossible to obtain. I've never heard a lot about this series, but I thought it was hilarious.

[Surreal999]

There are four series that immediately come to mind :
Ginga Tetsudo 999 1-113 (Occurs after Space Symphony Maetel, in the Leijiverse timeline.)
Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Harlock 1-42 (The greatest space pirate hero of them all!)
Waga Seishun no Arcadia : Mugen Kidou SSX 1-22 (Harlock's youthful days, occurs after the movie.)
Shin Taketori Monogatari : Sen-Nen Joou 1-42 (Prequel to Maetel Legend, When Promethium still had a kind heart.)


Classic Leiji Matsumoto stuff that has faded into obscurity, however, it still maintains a small but loyal cult-following today. Some people dislike the animation style but I absolutely love this stuff!

[Azstraph]

Here one anime series nobody has mention or may even remember, Unico. Been a long time since I've seen anything about it. Wish I knew where my brother has his old VHS copies of this series!
http://anidb.info/pics/anime/1166.jpg

[inverse001]

Slayers isn't really forgotten, but no fansub group has ever bothered to sub the whole series! All I can find are lousy comm subs. Still, it remains a favourite of many ppl, myself included, so it hasn't been forgotten (yet). I would say that Martian Successor Nadesico and Super Gals! Kotobuki Ran are the truly forgotten ones.

[Lisa Hayes]

there was this one particular anime that i liked to watch again.
i don't know the title since it has been localized on my place.

but i'll be descriptive as much as possible, and it may have been already introduced in the previous posts, so bear with me ~

there are two main characters in the show, a boy and a girl. The boy is very skillfull in using a soccer ball and usually his main weapon when attacked. The girl is his partner? ( i forgot, but they are always together ). Both of them are chasing a tea pot? that can create a time warp. Jumping through it sends them to another time and place. Usually historic at that.
The villain looks like a short, fat, chieftain. He carries a magical lamp that can summon a very huge genie ~ ( very green to boot, with a red cape. And goes around flying carrying his master ( the evil chieftain ) with his annoying, patented "ha ha ha ha ~" laugh.
Other characters include a daring arabian prince who always dares to protect his princess ( who at times, clueless as to what happens to her surroundings ).

i think it goes like "time travel ......."
that's much details i can give ~

oh, and i would like to see that animated peter pan also, as nostalgic as it sounds ~

[kawaiiguy]

Angelic Layer.... I just downloaded the first 22 chapters of the manga and finsiehd reading those. It's really interesting but it's a pity the series is so short.

I wasn't a big fan of the Angelic Layer anime. The manga, on the other hand, I loved. That seems to be a general trend for me with CLAMP manga...

[Gingi1]

Dai Apolon... another 80

Is it "Lady Georgie"?

[Glorfindel]

Kerropei? I can't remeber how to spell it... Think of Hello Kitty except w/ Frogs :)

[Draco888]

So many to choose from, manny great animes tend to be "forgotten"
Tekkaman Blade
Robotech/Macross (they are 2 diff things)
Saint Seiya
Sekai No monosho / Crest of the stars and banner of the stars 1 & 2 (banner series 3 is rumored to be in production yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :D:D)

[ascetic]

Casshan: Robot Hunter. I think that was one of the first animes I ever saw at like 3am on Scifi back when they played anime. They loosely based that new live action movie Casshern on it, which itself is pretty good though not all that similar.

Iria is another great one, and though I've never seen or heard anything about the live action, I know it exists.

Oh yeah, I also enjoyed Galaxy 999. Don't see many people talk about that one.

[Ceridwen]

I would have to say robotech and voltron. I watched them when i was little and i just found voltron again :)

[Arsienna]

Personally I think project A-ko isn't remebered enough. That was just pure fun!

[evilshepherd]

I like Heroic Legend of Arslan...except the fact that they didn't really finish off the series... :P

[Neo Zeed]

I feel Gasaraki was overshadowed by more popular series when it is deserving of more.

[PandaKun]

Hmmmm Flame of Recca comes to mind. That seems easily forgotten and overshadowed by animes such as Inyuyasha and etc.

[aimlesswanderer]

Gasaraki cerainly deserved more attention, but it was rather complicated and in depth.

I suspect Juuni Kokki was a bit slow and complex initially, which probably put people off, but it really pays off big time later.

[painsama]

Doraemon. (*duh)

[Firestorm8880]

YAT Swan...it's about this guy that joins some space travel agency and all the adventures that occur after it...in fact, it's so unknown, i don't even know whether that's the correct name for it...

[Hakou]

One that I might've forgotten was probably Outlaw Star...was a pretty good anime but then I never got to finish it cause I couldn't find it anymore.

If Yumeria is one of the forgotten, then that's one for my list. The rest are Yaiba, Niea under 7, and Ajimu Beach Story. Though Ajimu Beach Story is kinda new (2002-2003 i think), its really rare, i've been looking for this for quite some time now. So if anyone knows where to find this, drop me a line through pm.
