It's a show depicting a life worth living, I think it's the best way I can put it. The bond Doraemon and Nobita share is very enjoyable to watch. I also enjoy how the plots to this day fails or choose not to realize the difference between science fiction and fantasy, and often several of Dora's gadgets are powerful and potential world-ending black magic items they use to get things like sweets and toys. The people behind this show really have a good grasp on how kids react to things, it's pretty good.

For the first 10 to 12 years of the manga run there wasn't much concern on keeping track of all this characters.

anime isn't an obscure medium tv series, movies, ovas or anything else requires a lot of people to produce directing, animation, coloring, script, voice acting, sound effects, music…
its not like music, books or small videogames that can be achieved by anyone with an interest or movies than can be by a theater group and a camera in a few evenings
it is also a very consumer centered medium
most obscure animes are probaly old ones that only aired on tv once between 1960-2000 or were released in vhs and only sold 200 copies sending the animation studio into bankrupcy
it's highly unlikely those or the shorts made by art college students are worth watching
if you want to watch anime just go to a database like mal or anidb pick one you like order by less popular if you want to watch something no one ever liked
if by obscure you mean pretentious im sure theres lists out there
No.33232
>>33207Every story has tropes in it, which are by definition repetitive, and few settings are original. That a story takes place in a Japanese school does not mean that you are magically going to guess everything that's going to happen–good luck guessing the twist in Gakkou Gurashi just because you've seen K-On. Then again, why are you even expecting every story to have a twist to it? There is not even supposed to be a twist to K-On and many, many other anime that take place in school. That is not the point.
>>33212Obscure: "relatively unknown, such as not prominent or famous."
Touhou, Cave Story, Undertalea nd Minecraft are games made by a single person, but are not obscure. On the other hand, how many people have heard of Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord? I mention this game because a mere ten years ago it was listed by PC Gamer as the 53rd greatest game of all time. The further back you go in these lists the more games there are that today would only be known to older PC gamers, and perhaps only by name. Even if they were well-known and highly reviewed games for their time, and were made by full development teams, the general gaming public has never heard of them today. In the same way, many games well-known in Japan are obscure in the West and vice versa.
In the West, nearly all anime that has ever been made is obscure. The average person is laser-focused on just a handful of the really, really popular ones that everyone is talking about, and he has little to no idea about anything else. Even people who have spent years in anime communities tend to be shockingly ignorant.

No.33238
>>33237>Which of the anime I listed don't take place in school?Ping pong is the biggest offender because high school doesn't matter in the show. They could've all been just hobbyists or adults and the show would play out largely the same. Gakkou gurashi is another one. Sure it takes place in a school, but the setting is largely unimportant. They could've been in pretty much any building. Just like high school of the dead, it's even in the name, but they only spend the first two episodes even in a school. The focus of these are not about school at all. Other ones you said like watamote, lucky star, zetsubou snesei, haruhi, hibike euphonium, etc. are focused centrally about the school, and the plot would be wildly different had it been set somewhere else.
It's like saying evangelion is a high school anime because shinji goes to school sometimes. Or my hero academia is about school when it's really just a battle anime.
>How would you even know?Because I've seen a ton.

I do think knowing Japanese gives you more credit, there's a lot things out there that I want my hands on but will never be translated, and I hate when monolinguals act like they've touched everything anime(or any medium) has to offer. I can barely grasp English, so I'll never get there.

>>33307I have Darkstalkers downloaded but untouched.
It is a weird one because I wouldn't call it obscure, it's based on a fighting game series from the 90's that still has a cult following now, who spawned characters that still appear everywhere now. But at the same time, a series that hasn't had a new game in more that 20 years and probably won't ever have one. The anime is well known but only in that small culture. I wouldn't call it obscure, but more niche.
Doomed Megapolis/Teito Monogatari, same story, I have it but still haven't watched it. Teito Monogatari I think is why "obscure" is a flimsy word in this case. It's virtually unknown here, but based huge hit novel series in Japan that is practically responsible for sparking an interest in the occult over there and influenced tons of media, everything from SMT to arguably Street Fighter.

>>34359Like Darkstalkers they did the same thing to Virtua Fighter in making an anime from the game. It was a 90s arcade game that was the first to use 3D models instead of hand drawn animations.

>>36980pffft, unless it is super popular you aren't finding torrents these days fag. I have better luck on Youtube or some back water Youtube knock off than torrents.
>>36993>Alexander the Conquer and Big O are not animeby the way throw Alexander the Conquer on that list since I had to go out of my way to find it again, but it was made by the same guy who did ANeon Flux.

The Idolm@ster is not an "obscure" anime. Unless I fell off the bottom of this list long ago.

>>39953These charts are always shitty “ironic” memes that just throw shit at the wall hoping it sticks. Like dragon ball is the same tier as LOGH and hetalia,

Anyone have any suggestions for good historical anime? Not expecting accuracy. Mostly interested in feudal Japan but other settings are fine too. Been loving Vinland Saga 2.

Two of my Top 10 favorite anime that are still great and cult classic in Greece and Saudi Arabia but obscure everywhere else (even in Japan) are Igano Kabamaru and Plawres Sanshiro:
https://anidb.net/anime/2007https://anidb.net/anime/3324Both of them are fan-translated with Japanese audio and English subtitles. If you're Medabots fan, you'll definitely love Plawres Sanshiro since it's its great ancestor and directed by same guy who later directed Pokemon anime.

>>33153Most people don't know about most anime. Your neighbor Joe only maybe knows about Pokemon at most, for instance.
If you mean people on imageboards and places like that, then I recommend looking on sites like AniDB like this
https://anidb.net/anime/?do.update=1&noalias=1&orderby.rank_popularity=0.2&tag.7885=1Although the popularity ranking on these sites may not completely reflect popularity on imageboards, if something has a really low popularity value then most likely it's indeed not popular at all (like IQ – it's good for detecting
retardation at low values, but it doesn't measure
intelligence at high values well).
Also at the very bottom on there a lot of anime are so bizarre and detached from common anime (didn't watch them; just judging from the key visual) that I don't know why you would be watching them instead of any other obscure non-anime media other than carrying the "anime" brand. So I would recommend skipping 50 or 100 or maybe even 200 pages (you can edit the URL to do that if you're not retarded). Though even then you could have a hard time finding them online (it might be easier if you're a private tracker-using fatass), and even if you do it may not be subbed (not a real problem since Japanese isn't hard but I won't elaborate).
To mention a specific name, I know someone who's interested in the Viewtiful Joe anime, but he's having a hard time finding it online. I also watched "Kochinpa" not too long ago, which looks like an ad for a pachinko parlor or whatever it is, and each "episode" is 15 seconds long, but for what it is it managed to be entertaining enough.
…Anyway, your picture is completely retarded and the placements look like RNG but enough people talked about it already, so whatever.
>>33247I won't comment on your post's text but that's a curious picture. I would say that the part about Japanese media (eg. Love Live, Neptunia) is wrong, and those aren't exclusively or even predominantly irony weeb things, but the western media things (eg. (((DDLC))), RWBY), western memes (eg. OWO), and western online services (eg. Crunchyroll, Discord) are right.

>>42464Because you're a brainlet.
The first picture is a bit weird and outdated so I can't blame you if you don't get it but the second and third pictures are mostly focused on Western memes and slop detached from actual Otaku media and culture. Ironic weebs would obviously prefer the former to the latter and only see the latter as a device to fuel the former or to fuel their own mental illness (eg. watch anime only to self-insert as the succubi)
The third one is too focused on tranny/mental illness LARP stuff though the overall message is similar.
