Kyousougiga
(Story: Long ago, there was a monk named Myoue who could bring anything he drew to life. He quietly lived with his wife Koto—a black rabbit in human form—and their three children: Yakushimaru, Kurama, and Yase. One day, the high priest of the land concluded that Myoue's drawings caused too many problems for the locals and ordered him to find a solution. In response, the family secretly fled to an alternate world of Myoue's own creation—the Looking Glass City.
Everything was peaceful until Myoue and Koto suddenly vanished. Their three children are left to take care of the city, and Yakushimaru inherits Myoue's name and duties. Stranded in this alternate world, their problems only get worse when a young girl—also named Koto—crashes down from the sky and declares that she is also looking for the older Myoue and Koto. Armed with a giant hammer and two rowdy familiars, Koto just might be the key to releasing everyone from the eternal paper city.)
(Genre: Action, Fantasy)
(Released 2013; ONA; 10 episodes + 3 extras, TV-14)
(Notes: Okay, this one is bizarre but I'd still call it a slept on hidden gem. How'd y'all miss this one? lmao. i digress. Another Toei Animation production. I think this show is pretty unique. And it's another short one to just pass the time with. It can be trippy and confusing but I can say i wasn't bored. It's a nice lighthearted one which is always nice to see. Check it out if you have the time to. Plus, the animation and designs are really great in my opinion. And i think there's alot more to this show under the surface. It makes me feel..homesick? idk how to explain it but there's something there, i know it. Also, why is this OP actually so good? i may just be a baby but something about the melody and the delivery of the singer made me tear up and i do not know why. It's probably because i know the context of the show so idk) Read Note

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

Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis
(Story: Thousands of years ago, the ancient dragon Bahamut wrought havoc upon the land of Mistarcia, a world where both gods and demons live amongst mankind. Working together to prevent the world's destruction, the rival deities barely managed to seal Bahamut, agreeing to split the key between them so that the dragon would remain eternally imprisoned.
With the world safe from the destruction of Bahamut, it is business as usual for bounty hunters like Favaro Leone. Living a laid-back, self-serving lifestyle, the amoral Favaro goes about his work while on the run from fellow bounty hunter Kaisar Lidfard, a righteous man who swears vengeance upon Favaro. However, Favaro's carefree life is thrown into chaos when he meets Amira, a mysterious woman who holds half of the key to the world's fragile peace.
Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis tells the story of a group of unlikely heroes who find themselves caught in the middle of an epic clash between gods and demons, forced to carve their own path in the face of the imminent storm.)
(Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy)
(Released 2014; 12 Episodes + a second season; TV-MA)
(Notes: U h m animation? yes. Y'all slept on this one for sure. This one is based on a game. A game from Cygames, the developers of Shadowverse CCG. And yes, the animation studio behind this anime is MAPPA. the same studio that animates Jujutsu Kaisen. They also animated/animated Attack on Titan, Kakegurui, Chainsaw Man, Dororo, Yuri on Ice, Banana Fish, Dorohedoro, Takt Op Destiny, Vinland Saga, Zombieland Saga, The God of High School, Dance Dance Danseur which was one of the first anime i recommended, etc. Also, these character designs are great. There's something about anime characters designed with actual visible lips that i love idk why i think they look great that way)
