The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace (Flashing Colors Warning and also MASSIVE trigger warnings with this show; it gets dark. Like SUPER dark. Please, I'm warning you now)
(Story: About 800 years ago, monstrous demons attacked and threatened mankind's existence; while at risk of being extinct, all the humans began praying to their respective gods, hoping for someone or something to save every one from the brink of destruction. With their prayers answered, a race of deities called the "Idaten" were created; by using their utmost endurance and powerful god-like abilities the Idaten managed to defeat the demons, saving humanity and bringing peace to the entire world. Now in the present time, the newer generation of the Idaten know little about the demons since they've all lived peaceful lives. Training under Rin, the only remaining original Idaten from 800 years ago, the new Idaten find ways to survive in a time where they have seemingly outlived their usefulness. Suddenly, when the tyrannical Zoble Empire resurrects a demon, the misfit warriors are called to the battlefield against their natural enemy once more.)
(Genre: Dark Fantasy, Adventure, Action)
(Released 2021; 11 episodes; TV-MA)
(Notes: How'd y'all sleep on this show- Now this one has uh lots of fanservice but i like the unique art and the animation is great. I think it's entertaining. And yes, the anime studio behind this one is MAPPA as well. Yep. The same animation studio behind anime works including Yuri!!! on Ice, Kakegurui, Banana Fish, Zombie Land Saga, Dororo (in co-production with Tezuka Productions), Dorohedoro, The God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Vinland Saga Season 2, and Chainsaw Man. And the OP and ED of this one are bops too. Also warning you: the villains are irredemably gross like... Hisoka and Redo of Healer level gross if you catch my drift. Please dont check this out if it's too much. I wouldn't want to blindside anyone with this) Read Note

Daily Obscure/Underrated Anime Recommendations Thirty Three
Nanbaka
(Story: Nanba is the world's most formidable prison, built to incarcerate criminals who are too slippery to stay in ordinary confinement. The four inmates who occupy Cell 13 are particularly cunning on that behalf, having escaped every other prison with a perfect success rate. There is Juugo, a specialist in locks who has spent the majority of his life in prison; Uno, a gambler with great intuition; Nico, an otaku whose body reacts strangely to substances; and Rock, a bruiser with a love for food. The daily shenanigans of the four prisoners always cause trouble for the building supervisor, Hajime Sugoroku, who desperately tries to prevent them from breaking out of Nanba.
Nanbaka follows the comedic, sparkle-filled exploits of these prisoners and their guards. From three square meals a day to sports festivals, prison life in Nanba isn't actually that bad—and it is the closest these four have to a home.)
(Genre: Comedy, Action)
(Released 2016; 13 episodes in the first part and 12 in the second part)
(Notes: They're so sparkly i love them. do i love this show? yes. do i wish there was more? yep. do i simp for Rock and Uno? also yes. Also, the anime studio behind this, Studio Satelight, is also responsible for the first few seasons of Fairy Tail before they switched animation studios, Hellsing Ultimate, Shugo Chara, the first Fairy Tail movie Phoenix Priestess, Cannon Busters, and Earth Maiden Arjuna which was one of my first anime recommendations here. I feel like Nanbaka is pretty slept on. at the very least, any popularity it had is kinda gone so yep) Read Note
