What's the most obscure anime you've ever watched?

I would say Hime-sama Goyojin, mainly because of the fact that raws for it hard to find, both when it was new and more so more than 14 years after it aired. I watched it on Animax SEA though so YMMV in this case.

This one was just comfy incarnate.

I still have the wmv of Ultimate Teacher. Some man/cockriach hybrid wants to rule a school as principal and tries to turn entire student body against the local female delinquent who has some crippling fear of bloomers.
Silly stuff happens then about halfway through black Afro spiderman joins in

>that...actually sounds pretty good

I know right. I mean I'd expect that if something like this was good than I'd have heard of it way more often given the premise.

Anyway, pic is also way too obscure in the west.

the Gunbuster OVA

DNA²

The plot is basically that discount Yugi is a beta and throws up when he sees any woman skin. He gets shot by a girl from the future to prevent him from impregnating 100 women, whos children also impregnate 100 women and so on and so forth. Turns out the bullet that was supposed to chemically castrate him turns him into the guy and his personality changes into an alpha chad when a woman is around. Then the rest of the story is him chading around and trying to hook up with future girl while future girl tries to hook him up with childhood friend, while other girls vy for his dick. Also there is another chad who trys to stop him but he isn't chad enough for the job, so the future people come and try to kill everyone because they want him to become the Impregnation Chad because the bullet would cause a mind control ability for him and his descendants so they could have total power. But they can't beat the Chad and end up getting btfo by the power of friendship or something.

And you think any of those are particularly obscure? Love Hina in particular is another classic. You really have no idea what "obscure" means.
Unless you use the "confusing/incomprehensible" definition. Like you'd call a surreal film obscure. In which case neither of the things you've named are a good example either.

My worldview has been turned on its side. Teach me user.

>Teach me user.
Teach you what? Where you find obscure anime? Well, you could look for those cheap hentai OVA no one cares about. Often adaptations of visual novels.
Or just look through lists of anime per year and select those that no one watched. But, generally speaking, when it aired on TV, chances are that many people have seen it.
Also, anime from before 1970 are generally considered somewhat obscure, but of course, even back then there were some popular things, like Astro Boy or Kimba.

It seemed so promising but I was very disappointed. I love cyberpunk cop anime so it seemed like I would love it. Somewhere along the line it just fizzled out.

At least I got this webm from it, I fucking laughed my ass off when this happened.

I’M FUCKING OLD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

no user he's just retarded

I’ve watched all of Buttobi CPU!!
Not the most obscure but there you go.

That reminds me of a h-doujinshi I read where a guy saves up to buy a sexrobot and they're all out. Something happens that I don't remember but eventually he ends up with a robot and as he's trying to program her settings something goes wrong and she ends up having a more real personality than other normal bots, but he didn't get to fix the settings the way he wanted (meaning she isn't completely submissive to him).

There's one part where she discovers he used an onahole and becomes jealous, so then she acts like an onahole (remains completely still instead of actively pleasuring him) and the guy, annoyed at how she was upset in such an immature way decides to fuck her anyway. She enjoys it and realizes that onaholes aren't so bad after all and she gains newfound respect for her sextoy ancestor, even going so far as to make a shrine for it.

I wonder if this anime/manga somehow inspired it.

Sounds cute. Buttobi was cute enough nothing amazing but I liked it.

Probably black Rock shooter, not sure how I even came across it

I love OVAs that everyone who worked on them call "works of love". You can see the effort for world building. It's just never long enough to see everything.

BRS was a literal Pixiv OC by Huke (who went to design characters for S;G (the VN) and Altera, among other things) who got a song by Miku and became a huge meme, so she got an OVA, TV show and videogame (I think there was also a manga)
The OP for the TV anime has Miku singing, so saying Miku is in it isn't wrong

Probably? I'll have to watch both again. I remember Jing having some cool villians compared to soul eater, like some demon made of coins. However, I remember the first "big threat", that time obsessed dictator guy with the fox equivalent to Jing's crow. I remember thinking his design was fucking retarded.

I don't know whether he's talknig about Houshin Engi. I do know that it's one of my favourite manga. But I don't like either of its two anime adaptations much. The first only covered less than half of the manga (simply was made too early) and had a pretty unimaginative ending.
The latter tried too much for how little episodes it had and rushed the story (from what I've bothered to watch of it).

This aired in SA and even had a dub. I doubt many people watched it, however.

Maybe not exactly obscure, but I've rarely seen people talking about it. I wasn't planning to watch all of it, but the pacing of the episodes was relaxing and the historical period is fascinating so I ended up watching everything. (Also the manga is by the same mangaka of Otoyome gatari).

Probably not really "obscure" so to speak, but I bet most of you haven't watched the Dragon Quest anime; especially since it was never subbed or localized (mostly due to Toriyama's copyright BULLSHIT). I grabbed the whole thing and watched the raws. Aside from trying to puzzle out the Japanese spell names, it was a fun ride.

The link (and show I actually meant) is Dragon (Quest) Warrior.

For me it might possibly be Seraphim Call. Basically it's 12 episodes each focusing on a different female character. They're all in the same general narrative universe, but each story is totally self-contained. Pretty experimental in terms of content, but fun. The way it develops its themes is quite mature and interesting.

I only saw it mentioned on /m/ like 3 times because people wanted to fuck the main robot girl

Anyway, since someone's said they've watched what I posted, I'll say another one: Koutetsu Tenshi Kurumi Zero. A really elegant three-episode OVA, brilliantly written and directed, and set up like a stage play in terms of the way it maintains unity of time and place.

>The first few people who manage to write like certified non-faggots generally give a much better clue as to whether a show is shit or not.
Not really. They'll just tell you whether they liked something or whether it met their expectations. They have no idea about writing, direction, cinematography, editing, animation and so on. And it shows. They are fan reviwers, and they rate and review according to individal taste, not objective standards.

Yep, they just fool themselves into thinking they're not AMVs because it's 80s synth stuff. The Youtube 80s faggottry is the most cancerous aspect of anime fandom right now. I want to fucking strangle someone anytime I hear the word aesthetic.

I was probably too young for that. The most I did was pick up an anime magazine at the grocery store from time to time.

Buddy you ain't whistling dixie. I got one fat sow of a coworker who shaved her head and died her hair purple because it's "TOTALLY CYBER PUNK." And I TRY to be civil, maybe strike up a convo but wouldn't know what a blade runner is if Harrison Ford drunkenly bashed threw origami at her.

UK here. The one or two anime / manga related magazines small ads for 'penpals', which were really a gateway into the surprisingly vast network of people with two VHS decks who would duplicate shit. Padded envelopes of 4-6 VHS tapes coming in every week. The depressing knowledge that a series you've enjoyed a couple of eps of is so lengthy that you will never see them all (Fuck you YU). Paying through the nose to importers. Going to cons and networking.

Happened to me at a party a few years ago. Some bitch with thick frame glasses had a Star Trek II shirt on and I just happened to have watched it recently despite not giving a fuck about Star Trek.

It just seems like so many are more interested in saying their nerds or otaku or however you want to call it rather than putting in the actual effort to watch the shows. I mean I GET that not everyone will know ever show, especially since they're only getting older, but it's hardly daunting.

I can't even count how many times I've seen people asking for watching order lists, or to know which episodes they can skip. Everyone is just to eager to pad out their MAL score but not actually develop a fondness or sense of taste.

Guys who watched the shit, who had friends stationed in japan. Sometimes a comic book store had an in, sometimes you were the in for them.

I remember getting a hold of a fucked up VCR for free, and fixing it with help from a Radio shack dude who got me parts and tapes for copies of a fansub group who were either stationed in japan.

I'm currently working on one.

>there are subs
Sack up fucker. Become the raws master race.

Consumerism itself has become a sport in this day and age.

Yeah man, progress. Back then you had to pick shit by word of mouth, and the chances of finding someone with a complete 6 ep series (or enough people with all 6 between them) were pretty fucking slim. Factor in postage costs every damn time, and shit wasn't easy.

Now as soon as I read about something I even MIGHT like, I can DL all of it before I've finished reading the synopsis, and then drop it without a care if I change my mind.

>Some bitch with thick frame glasses

Why would you even talk to them?

Because not everyone knows nip
Just checked Nyaa. Emblem Take 2 has subs

The worst part is that everyone is so desperate to jump onto "NERD CULTURE" that they don't realize that the culture just played right into the publishers hands. So now we can't even shit talk obvious crap because it's "hating." Fans used to be controlled by the fandoms and if something was shit it would get blasted out of the water. Now casuals and wannabes dance to whatever tune is sung and I get dirty looks from my "nerd" coworkers because I thought Endgame was kind of shit.

Well you're looking at it by our standards. How about that movie that normally would have been an action shoot em up but in the world of yua they did it with paintball guns. Also the fucking car porn man. What's his face is obviously a carfag because there's some of it in AMG too.

YUA actually borrowed a lot of plots from dirty harry movies.

I think he's saying that because there are subs he's not interested, and it's laughable that my most obscure anime had subs. I guess because it's not obscure enough? He has never heard of it but it's not obscure enough because someone bothered to translate it.

>watching order lists, or to know which episodes they can skip
Yeah that's pretty bad. Watch it in order and don't skip. But you have to remember, when we watch anime we probably set aside a specific time to sit down and watch on the t.v. or at least the laptop, they're interspersing sporadic watching throughout the day on their phones. Even if they did have a t.v. in front of them they'd have their phone stuck in their face the whole time.

>Actually I may have been retarded and thought the thread was about who had seen the most obscure anime.
Yeah people are just naming their least popular watched anime, so you replying "no" to them is somewhat perplexing. That explains it.

It really seems like they really should be rethinking their choice in hobbies. I ain't gonna deny some shows episode length is daunting, but what they, even a lot of more hardcore fans these days don't realize is that you're really not supposed to binge watch. I'm only about a third of the way through LoGH right now and halfway through City Hunter but that's only because Im not trying to rush them. Im taking time to really enjoy and let things settle. Even if there's a shitty episode I just shrug and wait till the next one to be better.

The whole Netflix method is really killing shit. People binge a show or season but then you go to do a discussion and the only thing mentioned is the broader big moments and each episode's moment to moment parts are lost. They rush to the next EPIC or HYPE but don't have the build up.

It's not about "most obscure anime ever". More about "most obscure anime you watched". So, the kind of obscure anime you want aren't gonna be in this thread because this thread is about stuff people watched to begin with

Agreed but I don't even give Marvel the time of day just on principle.

Those people don't really have hobbies, they jsut go from trend to trend and everything is disposable. People try to rush through something just so they can say they watched it never truly absorbing or enjoying anything.
If you asked them what their favorite genre is they'd probably draw a blank.
I do binge watch occasionally but my method is to set up a playlist of different shows and keep track of where I am with screenshots. And I also have a mate who I have anime night with once a week. We get sodas and popcorn and knock out an episode of each of the six show we're watching.

I binge too on occasion. Especially if a show got me hooked. So Im guilty too. Especially with shorter shows it's easy to not notice you watched a whole cour's worth of anime in a short time. So I don't mean to say you should never ever do it. But I think they key difference is that, like I said, I was actually hooked and not watching while on my phone just to say I did.

To each his own and I wasn't judging you for being a Marvel fan as I understand its decades of cultural relevance but I just can't stand how cheesy and cartoonish the villains are even if their hero counterparts are iconic.

You know bringing Iria up, it sort makes me think of a point I make a lot to people when we talk. I feel like a lot of the time in the 80s/90s anime fans weren't so much anime fans specifically, and rather various genre fans looking to get a fix of sci fi, fantasy, action whatever. I mean in fairness that's pretty much the bulk of what was brought over so it's not like we had the options to watch every CGDCT show that airs every year and we where just as lousy with weebs too but at least in my case I discovered anime kind of accidentally and just sort of eased into it.

I'm not sure if you could call anything that got a western release truly obscure, but I've never once seen anybody mention Crystal Triangle.

It's awful, yet glorious. Japanese Indiana Jones finds evidence of a lost ancient civilization that might lead him to "The message of God". When he gets back to Japan he gets attacked by a sect of warrior monks who are all secretly demons. The message of God is the only thing that can stop them from reclaiming the earth and ruling over it like they did in ancient times. Then the CIA and KGB get involved because a "message from God" will probably help them win the cold war. The CIA, KGB, demon monks, and archeologists end up in a 4-way race to find the message before the others do. Then they find God's spaceship because of course there are aliens involved too..

Three times he appeared in that movie and three times they took a huge shit on him. I suspected it's because everyone hated him for pistol-whipping Thanos awake.

I like the novelty of showing the girls how they appeared in the novels but I'm glad they redesigned them for their own show.

Even before that though I was still pretty bummed by how the GoTG movies where done. The cosmic marvel universe is actually a really amazing place with so much potential for wonder and awe. Instead we got LOL CASSETTE TAPES and a douche. And they where still some of the better marvel movies.

Hey, high fives for the two other Strange Dawnfags, and the five guys who watched Majin Bone on /m/ when it aired. I'm sure the most obscure thing I've watched I've actually forgotten because it lost all relevance in my life since then. I can remember stuff like Dibetagurashi and Happi Kappi because they happened in an era of grabbing screencaps for reaction images, but real obscure left no impact and never gave any reason to recall it. These four series are things I've repeated so it's hard to shake them. Going by this thread the kind of obscure people want to see is more Kyuukyoku Choujin R, because they have been seen and can be discussed. Frankly makes for a better thread that way.

With manga it's far too easy to know and like obscure series, there's raws for JP pirates of practically everything with a digital release these days, and so many series get part translations before falling to the back of aggregate catalogues. Even when something doesn't get translated it's cheap and simple to buy volumes for the art and have a permanent physical reminder it exists.

I watched it after ep 82 of LOGH, I guess I was desperate. Don't remember too much so guess it's time for a rewatch.

Umi Monogatari, it was shit.

Hibari-kun was obscure until the last year or two now that it's got proper subs, now it's become kind of a cult classic just because of the novelty of it being a romcom about a trap from the 80s.

Is it considered obscure if it was extremely popular and borderline iconic in Japan but was never subbed or dubbed?

Do you have an example?

Tobor the 8th Man and Dragon's Heaven.

I remember hearing that was one of the most popular anime of all time among girls during the 80s and still sometimes gets voted into top 100 anime lists

But it's never been subbed or dubbed.

As someone who knows dick all about Marvel in general, and for whom Guardians was "literally who" before the movies, the two films are by far, head and shoulders above all the other Marvel flicks I saw.

ドラゴンボール (1986)

Subs are being released but at a snail's pace because the subber is retarded. The subber only subs one episode of anime every month, and he's subbing like 4-5 shows at a time and not in any particular order so you could wait an upwards of half a year just to get another episode.

This is obscure on Yea Forums now but was fairly popular while it aired.

It's pretty much the first "Battle Mahou Shoujo" ever, and the "mother" of the genre. If you think that it only has "elements" of Mahou Shoujo, then that's also true for Sailor Moon, the very show that was most heavily inspired by it. In fact, every single thing that's Mahou Shoujo about Sailor Moon is already there in 1973's Cutie Honey.

These ain’t obscure. I’m not mad about it, y’all are just either young or don’t interact with other anime fans much.

And where exactly is the difference there? You can also say that Sailor Moon is not a magical girl because she's a reincarnated moon princess. The fact stands: Android or not, she is a girl, and she possesses special powers that can be described as magical (even though there's technically a scientific explanation for them). From the very beginning, people have called Cutie Honey a Mahou Shoujo.

And as I said: It has all the same elements. Down to the in-battle and out-of-battle transformations. Pretty much everyone knows that Toei copied half of Cutie Honey's formula for Sailor Moon. It's part of the reason the latter works so well; it was a proven concept. Sailor Moon (or rather Sailor V, which came first) didn't invent the genre all on its own.

you wouldn't know about it

I think 2x2 Shinobuden is the most obscure one for me. It doesn't feel very obscure, but I have never seen anyone talk about it or reference it online.

There isn't much discussion because it's a 00s show. Not recent enough for aftershocks, not old enough for nostalgia. It was definitely popular on Yea Forums when it aired though. And it spawned the men in tights edit.
I love it, the girls are hot and it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

Fair enough, I wasn't here when it aired so that explains it. It's definitely one of my favourite comedy shows. I've always felt it had a kind of air about it that people here would like.

Not very obscure my man

It made a splash here when it aired. I still the the cicada posted from time to time.

There are a whole bunch of late 90's shows that are both great and ridiculously obscure. Master Keaton is one of them. The first episode was a bit of a bait-and-switch for the entire series though; there was a lot less treasure-hunting and action in subsequent episodes.

I've seen it mentioned a few times; given its release date (2008) I'm surprised that it fell through the gaps as it did. I've got in on my backlog.

On Crunchy now.

Patapata Hikousen no Bouken

That makes this funky because then someone who only watched popular stuff will say something like symphogear where the west slept on it for its earlier seasons is obscure.

Dragon Half will forever be one of my favorites, and it helped me find other anime and manga with dragon girls, such as Capricorn. Also found Outlanders by accident long ago when looking for more.

Attached: Gor6thcS_0403182006241gpadd.jpg (1029x800, 478K)

For the life of me, I can't remember what it's called. All I can remember is that the protagonist looked like Mink from Dragon Half and had blue hair, that she was a demon, and that she lived on Earth in an apartment. It was also a hentai, but from the era when hentai had an actual story to it outside of the fucking, which is a thing we never get anymore. I remember seeing it as a kid when I was using Kazaa to find more Dragon Half, but ended up finding that (among many viruses) in both Spanish and English.

I wish I could remember its name.

After watching enough anime and readin enough manga you actually start to Wonder wich is your favorites genre if you get really broad with it. Anime is not like music

Outlanders is great. Manabe was pretty big in western otaku circles in the early 90s because Dark Horse translated quite a few of his works. Caravan Kidd, Drakkun etc. are all worth reading if you haven't already.

Armitage was even shown where i live on tv, is that even obscure?

I loved Redline. Different tone from both though. Trava seems completely directionless and it kinda fell apart halfway through. I was invested in the princess and enjoyed her interaction with Dayzner and Trava but then she just poofs out of existence and is replaced with that giant and you only see her briefly at the very end.

Since anybody was unable to tell, i'll reveal that this comes from Cream Lemon.

Reminder that Cream Lemon is overall better than Cool Devices.

Don't remember the name but I know what you're talking about. It's the one with the Spanish dub. That and some scenes from Words Worth were the first hentai I saw on Kazaa.

Mal is shit, yes, but it does have a lot of users who autistically update their lists and post reviews, so it's still a good indicator of popularity.

I have this on my harddrive. Is it fun? I'm not necessarily looking for quality, just entertainment.

There are a handful of episodes that are great but most of Cream Lemon is boring schoolgirl shit. Rall, Pop Chaser and Star Trap are the pinnacle, especially Pop Chaser. Wakamoto plays a character under an alias and I think Anno animated some of it.

It left a little bit to be desired in terms of characterization and plot but the animation and artwork is fantastic. It resides among the ranks of great late 80s early 90s ovas.

>a good indicator of popularity
Sure. But what use does that have? Popularity doesn't equate to quality. In MAL's case, it actually seems to imply to opposite.
It also doesn't translate into sales numbers or support for the creators or anything like that, as MAL's userbase are teenagers who just pirate (torrent or stream) their shit.
Add to that that MAL always seem to agree with the opinions of sites like ANN or anime youtubers. (Either they are extremely impressionable or those sites follow what they think the general taste of the masses is.) So you might as well just go there to gauge "popularity".

The last episode, the haunted manor one is stuck is my mind because it ended with a bad ending.

>But what use does that have?

How bad, death, NTR?

YO is that some motherfucking Happoubi Jin!?

It shows what the general consensus and taste of hoi polloi in the west is on what comes to anime. I don't claim that it's terribly useful to us, but it does give insight into what people seem to like, and so it can be interesting in its own right.

I actually wanted to watch it for science years ago, but i couldn't find it back then.

I remember when they aired it on TV here
You couldn't be farther from obscure

It's apparently a rare example of an anime being so bad it's good.
I have a nascent interest as well. I might try it now since this thread reminded me of its existence.

>It has use for this thread, no?
Depends. Just because people born after 2000 don't know something, that doesn't mean it's obscure. I'd say that a lot of things that are unpopular on MAL are quite well known to most people in here. And I guess some of the things already posted in this thread fall into that intersection category (DNA², Love Hina, Agent Aika, Dragon Half and so on).

>general consensus and taste of hoi polloi in the west
Far from it. Most people with respectable opinions just don't use MAL. And even if the sample on MAL was representative, it wouldn't be large enough to be of significance. The only consensus you can read from it is the consensus of MAL users themselves.

Basically the protagonist and his partner priest visits this haunted manor, here they were hosted by a blond girl and her butler. As time passes the girl reveals herself as demon and has sex with the priest ending with him being decapitated, meanwhile the protagonist finds a blue haired assistant that is treated very badly and helps her while slowly realizing that things are strange, once found out his partner fate and other clues, the demon tries to murder him and the assistant since he wanted to save her. Both are able to escape from her which ended burning alongside the manor in an attempt to kill them, here the protagonist and assistant has sex for some reason rather than running away, the demon possesses that assistant and receives his seed. The protagonist watches in horror while the butler behind him kills him with an hatchet then said demon baby is heard implying that it was all a setup from the demon just to be impregnated by him.

Yeah that sounds dumb and too edgy. The contemporary ones suck.

Either gdgd Fairies or Super Doll Licca-chan. Two very different kinds of obscure. Also Gakuen Handsome, but that was more like an animated shitpost.

Akiko-chan's smile

some shit about a golden lighter that transformed into a big robot dude

Listen in another one a male teen human merges with a female old ghost via sex resulting into a half human half ghost [between life and death] that can go tangible and intangible at will.

I was shamefully getting a boner from the blonde girl masturbating one but then she started getting freaky with a living doll so I was out. We laugh about the weird stuff in doujins now but hentai from the 80s was downright demented, and the eromanga had tons of scat. Like the Dirty Pair one I read where Yuri saves Kei by getting captured and shitting out a gun.

I would have said Moeru Oniisan, but ARR managed to post an ep of it yesterday.

Lightan

The OP was "What's the most obscure anime you've ever watched?" not "What do you think is the most obscure anime?"

yeah guess that was it. it aired on the national tv in my slav shithole over a decade ago and literally none of the weebs I know has ever heard of it, except for some chink.

There's obviously a point where you're going to get laughed at if it's notorious enough.

I recall another another one located in a fantasy world where the main antagonist is a gorgon or something like that, the male protagonist needed to have sex with the female elf he loves to power her up to save that day. There was another one mentioned by an user in a previous thread, but there was no battles and was cuter.

This is true, but it's even more obscure if nobody has bothered to sub it in any language.

It's mostly music videos but it's nice, and related to the less obscure series of the same name. I wish I could find the soundtrack.

Shinigami no Ballad. I guess I wouldn't say obscure but it used to be one of those very early 2000s "popular" anime only because the main girl had a very distinctive design.
In fact, that was the main reason why I even watched it in the first place

Context check.

It was Michiko to Hatchin, but then Toonami got a hold of it and now it's another normie anime.
