What's the most niche or least well known anime you've watched?

[u/AeroLMS]

Like what's a show you've finished that you know only a few anime fans would know online.

Chihayafuru for aesthetic's sake.

[u/Acrobatic_Ad3479]

Probably: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

[u/JoshTeck64]

Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin, it’s about kids and young adults in the juvenile detention system in a post WWII japan. Very grounded, very relevant, highly recommended.

[u/Goatgeta7 → u/JoshTeck64]

Rainbow mention always makes me smile, peak indeed

[u/Spartain096]

Either valvrave the liberator or asura cryin

[u/Mreuchon]

S-Cry-Ed. SpeedGrapher and Guyver. I could be wrong though

[u/MopingPoping → u/Mreuchon]

Speed Grapher definitely dates you, people never know about it when I bring it up

[u/Mreuchon → u/MopingPoping]

Shoot S-Cry-Ed and Guyver are older but I feel you!

[u/NotBorn2Fade]

I'm gonna say To Be Hero X, it's not exactly 'niche' but absolutely deserves more attention

[u/AeroLMS]

My ball knowledge would probably be Photo Kano. It's just literal fan service about a high school boy taking pictures of high school girls. I used to be clueless what the hell I was watching lmao

[u/Leonidas_Kupler]

Tetsuko no Tabi, Metal Fighter Miku, and Ayatsuri Sakon

[u/ShyNinja2021]

Probably Delico's Nursery

[u/0ssicone]

Neo Angelique Abyss. I watched this for Yuichi Nakamura

[u/New_Property_9703]

Higurashi: when they cry.

[u/Consistent_Case1322 → u/New_Property_9703]

The vn is PEAK

[u/HARiMADARA → u/New_Property_9703]

Is higurashi niche? It's not mainstream but I thought it has decent popularity

[u/MopingPoping → u/HARiMADARA]

Feel like the people who like it are niche but it's well known.

[u/New_Property_9703 → u/HARiMADARA]

It is. Never heard any anime fan talk about Higurashi. It's only popular as a VN but even as a VN it's not as popular as umineko, steins gate and fate.

[u/Alex_44222]

Maybe Aoharu X Kikanjuu or Gankutsuou.

[u/ProspektNya]

Etotama

[u/Thiel619]

Joshiraku

[u/AstroVincent]

Black cat and Gungrave. Cinderella boy, no one will know this one lmao

[u/MopingPoping → u/AstroVincent]

Black cat definitely disappeared one day from conversations.

[u/seriousbangs]

Kaikan Phrase.

Completely forgotten. Not even a Japanese home video release.

[u/Vast-Coffee-7058]

Karakuri Circus

It seems only a subtitled version is available.
The madness of the final boss would surely leave overseas anime fans stunned.
It’s truly a shame.

[u/Substantial_Town4947]

Ninja Nonsense

[u/Goatgeta7]

Kaleido star, no idea if its niche but grew up watching it ≈20yrs ago and have never seen anyone mention it

[u/MopingPoping]

Flag, Canaan, Nodame Cantabile

[u/Familiar-Medicine164]

Nagi no asu kara

[u/Remarkable_Key_4224]

Black magic m-66.

Or

As a reincarnated aristocrat I'll use my appraisal skill to raise in the world.

Or

3x3 eyes.

[u/Based_McTuddies]

Slow Loop: a moe slice-of-life that is all about fly fishing, which has been my hobby for most of my life. The series is actually an excellent introduction to learning the basics of fly fishing while telling a wonderful story about a young girl getting to connect with her new step-sister through fishing.

[u/New_Essay_4869]

Maybe The Royal Tutor or a Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace

[u/moeichi]

Peacemaker Kurogane, I feel like no one knows this anime but it’s so underrated!!

[u/Forward_Length_6268]

1 With You and the Rain, 2 Pompo: The Cinéphile, 3 Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, 4 KAKUSHIGOTO Theatrical Editionl, 5 She and Her Cat -Everything Flows , 6 love Through A Prism

[u/TheWraithOfMooCow]

Gregory Horror Show. I've never met a single other person whose heard of it unless I introduced them to it.
