    Space Brothers/ Uchuu kyoudai. Not many people know it (at least from the communities I've been to) despite it having 99 episodes. Story revolves around astronauts and its storytelling is one of the best around

    Tokyo ESP. I watched it 7-8 years ago and I remember loving it SO much but I hardly ever see anyone talking about it. I remember recommending it to my friend and she said she didn't like watching shounen anime with female protagonists but trust me, it's a great anime.

    i think this one is famous enough such that taiwan created a live action in 2001 and chinese remade it in 2018.

    hmm; just read the manga -- very depressing.

    Tried to watch it quite some years ago. I watched 3 episodes on the first day. On the second day, I was completely lost, like I hadn't watched a thing prior to that moment

    I think now people know it, but back then...when there were not that much of anime fans, I use to recommend 'Monster' to my friends who also enjoyed watching anime and they never knew about it. Still, I don't see many people talk about this anime. Totally recommended

    Urm, has anyone heard of Air Master? And another one I rarely see anyone mention, but it's freaking gorgeous - Mononoke.

    never watched the anime, but the manga is awesome.

    in my mind, the real monster is the twin's mother. anna who was directly "trained" grew up normally, but johan that only heard 2nd-hand info from nina + mother's proding turned into a monster.

    hmm, found this summary: https://obluda.fandom.com/wiki/Another_Monster; not sure if there is a proper translation instead of just summary. maybe i'll try to spend more time to search around this weekend.

    I could probably give out more manga than anime titles on this topic tbh.

    I have always loved Black Jack. If anyone is familiar with Osamu Tezuka, then it’s not a hidden gem, but I’ve rarely seen anyone know it outside that fan community.

    It’s still one of my favorites, even if it is a bit older. I love the moral greyness of Black Jack and how he navigates the darkest places of this world.

    More or less, it might be cheesy (or some parts might really be quite out there) now, but I think the depths of character and themes of the story are strong even to this day. Plus it is interesting to see a medical story written by someone who had a medical degree (even if some of the medical stuff might be a bit outdated now)

    Hikaru no Go, i dont know if its well known but its pretty underrated in my eyes... still piss that author was forced to cut the ending ;-;
    World Trigger, altho season 1 had some issues but the manga was better... season 2 n 3 was so high quality and was so excited when it came out.... underrated worldwide but im pretty sure its famous in japan...
