Chuuka Ichiban
(Story: The story takes place in 19th century China during the Qing Dynasty, where the Emperor was weakened and the country was close to chaos. It is also during a fictitious era called "The Era of the Cooking Wars". It was an era in which top chefs with different cooking styles tried their best to improve their skills and to become the best chef in China. It is a country where insulting a high-grade chef or fooling around with cooking could land a person in a jail, and impersonating a top-chef is as good as usurpation of authority. Chefs compete with each other in order to gain respect and even power, but also with the risks of losing everything.
The country of China has four major regions: Beijing, Szechuan, Shanghai, and Guangdong.
The beginning of the story takes place in Szechuan, Mao's birthplace.
After the death of Mao's mother, Pai, who was called the 'Fairy of Cuisine', Mao becomes a Super Chef in order to take the title as Master Chef of his mother's restaurant. However, before he takes his mother's place as Master Chef, he continues to travel China in order to learn more of the many ways of cooking, in the hopes of becoming a legendary chef, just like his mother. During his journey, he meets great friends and fierce rivals who wish to challenge him in the field of cooking.)
(Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama, Gourmet/Cooking)
(Released 1997; 52 episodes; TV-14)
(Notes: If i wanna watch a cooking anime, this is a good pick...if you don't want the 'awkwardness' of Food Wars tbh. If you understand what i'm implying. It's enjoyable. Not perfect, but it's fun and the setting is unique. It's a bit goofy and over the top but hey. It's fun so i don't mind. There was a reboot but we don't talk about that.) Read Note

Sorcerous Stabber Orphen (1998)
(Story: Six years ago at the magic school known as the Tower of Fang, a grave accident happened involving the magical sword Baltanders and the magic user Azalie. Unable to control the sword's power, Azalie was transformed into the shape of a great dragon who since that day became known as Bloody August. Krilancelo, a young magician at the Tower who cared greatly for Azalie found much to his disgust that the elders of the Tower of Fang were less than willing to save Azalie and wanted rather to pretend the accident never happened. Angered by their stand, Krilanceloa swore that he would find a way to return Azalie to her former self. Thus he forsook the name Krilancelo and declared himself Orphen, leaving the Tower and his magical studies behind to wander the world...)
(Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery)
(Released 1998; 24 episodes; TV-14)
(Notes: Why is the OP song so funky? The ending song is super good too. Gosh dang. I can't believe i said 'gosh dang' unironically. Crying rn. Anyway, this is an enjoyable little show. Not gonna break any new ground but for what it is, it's fun. It aired on Adult Swim before. But people don't talk about it or even mention it really but i am. Orphen has drip, that's all im saying. Oh and steer clear of the 2020 reboot of this show. It isn't as good. And again, the retro anime art style always slaps. At least in my opinion.) Read Note

Samurai Flamenco
(Story: "A hero will never give up, never hide, never be defeated and never accept evil!"
Firmly believing these words, Masayoshi Hazama has been obsessed with superhero shows since childhood. By day, he earns his living as a famous model, and by night, he becomes the gallant hero Samurai Flamenco. Armed with only his superhero costume, he seeks to bring justice to the city and faces anybody who tries to break the law—even rebellious juveniles and people who litter on the street.
Masayoshi's heroic antics later catch the attention of the public, leading to the fateful discovery of his identity by policeman Hidenori Gotou. Although initially telling Masayoshi to leave the crime-busting activities to the police, Gotou ends up joining him in his antics. However, things soon escalate from preventing littering and petty thefts to bizarre adventures that involve even the fate of the world. Together with their newfound comrades, Masayoshi and Gotou embark on a battle with the world and themselves in order to find the true meaning of being a hero—with or without superpowers.)

Good at both academics and sports on top of being elegant and sociable, she has been an object of admiration all her life. However, in reality, she is an incredibly vain person who toils relentlessly to maintain her good grades, athleticism, and graceful appearance. She wants nothing more than to be the center of attention and praise—which is why she cannot stand Souichirou Arima, the male representative for her class and the only person more perfect than her.)
(Genre: Drama, Romance, Comedy)
(Released 1998; 26 episodes; PG-13)
(Notes: Woooo 60th recommendation! Let's goooo! I haven't recommended a straight up romance in awhile,huh? This is a classic that gets overlooked alot nowadays. I was surprised at how enjoyable this one ended up being. I like it alot more than most romance anime, with a few exceptions, so give it a shot! It's also called His and Her Circumstances. Oh and fun fact: Hideaki Anno, the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, spearheaded this anime right after The End of Evangelion. Cool, right? Sadly, this anime is unfinished but it is still worth it and the story wrapped up in the manga so there's still that. Still worth watching in my opinion.) Read Note

Gugure! Kokkuri-san
(Story: Gugure! Kokkuri-san is an eccentric comedy centered around the self-proclaimed doll, Kohina Ichimatsu. Her uneventful life goes from plain to absurd when she summons a fox spirit by the name of Kokkuri-san. But contrary to popular belief, he is not the omniscient, answer-granting spirit from the legend anymore. The loss of believers in modern society has rendered him powerless.
Upon meeting the bizarre girl who summoned him, Kokkuri-san is shocked to discover that Kohina not only lives alone, but survives on just cup ramen! Filled with concern for the young girl, he takes it upon himself to ensure that Kohina has proper meals and lives a decent life. Thus begin Kokkuri-san's less-than-hopeful endeavors and their peculiar life together.)
(Genre: Comedy, Supernatural, Gag Humor)

(Notes: Resisting the urge to call the cops on Inugami rn (if you know, you know-)
But other than that, this is a fun watch. I like it. It has actually made me laugh quite a bit based on the characters alone i like it. If nothing else, it is pretty cute and entertaining. Why has this one been overshadowed? The OP is so chaotic oml and the main fox spirit Kokkuri is the main singer of the OP. And he's voiced by Daisuke Ono. Y'know, voice of Sebastian from Black Butler, Jotaro Kujo, Arthur from Blue Exorcist, Handa from Barakamon, William from Black Clover, Ace from Bungo Stray Dogs, Shizuo from Durarara, Ko Paat from Fire Force,etc. The show was also animated by TMS Entertainment. TMS is one of the oldest and most famous anime studios in Japan, best known for numerous anime franchises such as Lupin the Third, Lilpri, The Gutsy Frog, The Rose of Versailles, Anpanman, Detective Conan, Monster Rancher, Magic Knight Rayearth, Hamtaro, Sonic X, D.Gray-man, Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, Fruits Basket (since 2019), Obake no Q-Taro (until 1972), Bakugan Battle Brawlers and feature-length films Golgo 13: The Professional, Akira and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, alongside animation works for Western animation such as Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Inspector Gadget, The Real Ghostbusters, Rainbow Brite, DuckTales, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman: The Animated Series, Animaniacs, and Spider-Man: The Animated Series.

Kimagure Orange Road
(Story: Kyōsuke Kasuga and his family had to move several times after being seen using their esper powers. Upon settling for the seventh time, Kyōsuke briefly meets a pretty girl who gives him her straw-hat and falls in love with her on sight. On the first day of school he learns this girl is his junior high classmate Madoka Ayukawa, who, contrary to his initial impression, is feared as a tough and no-nonsense delinquent. Their underclassman (and Madoka's best friend), Hikaru Hiyama, sees Kyōsuke use his powers to sink an impressive basketball shot and falls in love with him. Kyōsuke ends up dating Hikaru while constantly struggling with his feelings for Madoka due to his indecisiveness. Likewise, Madoka has feelings for Kyōsuke which she masks with her capricious nature for fear of hurting her friend Hikaru.)
(Genre: Romantic Comedy, Supernatural, Drama)
(Released 1987; 48 episodes plus 2 movies to officially wrap up and finish the story. Watch the movies too if you wanna know how it ends after watching the series)
(Notes: Certified hood classic lmao okay i digress, it's good. Madoka is obvious best girl duh (she's the black haired girl) and i like this more than most romantic anime also..that art style is sooooooo good. Produced by Toho; who also produced Your Name, Spirited Away, Another, Weathering with You, Akira, Beastars, Wolf Children, Ponyo, the second My Hero Academia movie, the Tatami Galaxy, most of the Naruto movies at least, Black Rock Shooter,etc. As for the animation studio? Pierrot. Pierrot also animated Naruto, Tokyo Ghoul, Naruto:Shippuden, the original Bleach anime, Black Clover, YuYu Hakusho, Yona of the Dawn, Great Teacher Onizuka, etc.
Kimagure Orange Road was a highly influential series, with sales of over 20 million copies in Japan alone. It is credited alongside Dragon Ball for introducing an entire generation of Europeans to anime and manga. It was also an archetypal shōnen romantic comedy, a genre which it had a major influence on, and the character Madoka is considered to be a root of the tsundere archetype. The anime's Christmas episode also featured an early use of the time loop plot device. So why is it here in the underrated list? because y'all dont talk about it and probably havent watched it dang it instead of rent a girlfriend watch this, its actually good and has not-annoying, not-flat characters and the songs in Kimagure Orange Road are bops, sorry, i dont make the rules and R.I.P to the creator of the Kimagure Orange Road manga Izumi Matsumoto) Read Note

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

Birdy the Mighty (Tetsuwan Birdy) OVA
(Story: Tsutomu, an average middle school kid busy studying for the final exams to enter high school runs into a man running from someone and gets caught up in the chase. In all the confusion he is accidentally killed. Luckily Birdy (an interplanetary agent) knows a way to save him, unfortunately that means joining bodies to become one. So now he is stuck with this officer and along for the ride capturing criminals and saving lives.)
(Genre: Action, Science Fiction, Comedy)
(Released 1996; 4 episodes, TV-14; for older audiences)
(Notes: Again, love the art style. Old anime had great style. Great action and animation. Also, can i say i love Birdy's facial expressions and animation? This is a weird tangent but her expressions aren't overly cutesy? like, i'm not knocking on making anime girls remain cute when they emote but hers feel more..uh..real? Unique? if that makes sense. I'm bad at explaining. I'm glad they give her shots where she smiles like a maniac is what i'm saying. And not in the cutesy yandere kind of way most shows do now if that makes sense. It feels more natural. Fun fact: this OVA was animated by Madhouse. The same animation studio responsible for animating the first season of One Punch Man, the original Trigun, Hunter x Hunter 2011, Perfect Blue, Black Lagoon, Parasyte, Wolf Children, Death Note, the first Beyblade anime, etc. Also, Birdy's japanese voice actress is Kotono Mitsuishi: voice of Sailor Moon/Usagi in the original Sailor Moon series as well as Sailor Moon Crystal, Boa Hancock from One Piece, Misato from Evangelion, and Tae Yamada from Zombie Land Saga. Also there is a reboot of Birdy the Mighty called Birdy the Mighty: Decode but I'd say that one is for much older audiences too but it's also pretty underrated.) Read Note

(Notes: Again, love the art style. Old anime had great style. Great action and animation. Also, can i say i love Birdy's facial expressions and animation? This is a weird tangent but her expressions aren't overly cutesy? like, i'm not knocking on making anime girls remain cute when they emote but hers feel more..uh..real? Unique? if that makes sense. I'm bad at explaining. I'm glad they give her shots where she smiles like a maniac is what i'm saying. And not in the cutesy yandere kind of way most shows do now if that makes sense. It feels more natural. Fun fact: this OVA was animated by Madhouse. The same animation studio responsible for animating the first season of One Punch Man, the original Trigun, Hunter x Hunter 2011, Perfect Blue, Black Lagoon, Parasyte, Wolf Children, Death Note, the first Beyblade anime, etc. Also, Birdy's japanese voice actress is Kotono Mitsuishi: voice of Sailor Moon/Usagi in the original Sailor Moon series as well as Sailor Moon Crystal, Boa Hancock from One Piece, Misato from Evangelion, and Tae Yamada from Zombie Land Saga. Also there is a reboot of Birdy the Mighty called Birdy the Mighty: Decode but I'd say that one is for much older audiences too but it's also pretty underrated.) Read Note

Daily Obscure/Underrated Anime Recommendations Number Eight
Gokudo the Adventurer
(Story: The story focuses on an adventurer named Gokudo. Unlike most protagonists he is an antihero, willing to resort to violence to fulfill his agenda. He does not hesitate to abuse the needs of people, sell out his friends to save himself, run away from any dangers, or ditch others who helped him if he does not have any more interest in them. His life starts to change when he finds a magical Genie named Djinn who wants to grant him three wishes. While people would benefit from having three wishes, in his case it leads him to a lot of trouble, and it doesn't take long before he tries to escape from Djinn, and every other person he meets.
Other important characters are the Old Seer, who constantly appears out of nowhere, seemingly only to make Gokudo suffer more; Rubette La Lette, a noble girl with a tomboy attitude who sees Gokudo as a rival; and Prince, a mage much better at handling women than Gokudo will ever be.)
(Genre: Action, Supernatural, Comedy, Adventure, Fantasy)
(Released 1999; 26 episodes)
(Notes: This was pretty fun ngl. Sometimes it's nice to just vibe with some pretty entertaining characters. Gokudo can be a jerk sometimes though. Words can't describe how much i love this art style and animation. i love how retro anime looked) Read Note
