Overrated
Mononoke Hime-I just saw it, and it is an amazing movie. A real treat. But I didnt feel that sense of orgasmic bliss that everyone else supposedly did after watching it.

I’m not aiming for tops, but i have good examples

Overhyped
-Chrno Crusade
-Pretear
-Speed Racer

Overlooked

-Puni Puni Poemi

Overrated
Princess Mononoke
Ghost in the Shell
adult swim

Underrated
Scrapped Princess
FMA
Noir

As far as I know, your “underrated” animes are pretty succesful. Chart toppers in many places.

Then why are too many people still jerking off to DBZ and Inuyasha?

Because those are the only ones being shown on US television that are widely publisiced (sp?).

Over:
DBZ
Inuyasha
Kenshin.
All for obvious reasons.

Under:
Azumanga Daioh. Funniest. Series. Ever.
Shamanic Princess, because it looks absolutely beautiful and no-one’s ever seen it.
Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors. Because I like Darkstalkers. >_>

Shamanic Princess might look beautiful, but looks aren’t everything.

True, but the plot IS passably intriguing. It’d have been better if they didn’t do the episodes in the order they had. I still like it though.

Overrated:
DBZ, Pokemon ect.

Underrated:
Azumanga Diaoh-I agree with, “Funniest. Anime. Ever.” also the animation is great!

Happy Lesson-Not as funny as AD but nice animation. Also it actually makes me CARE what’s happening to the characters as in REAL life care.

Kino’s Journey-Oh, my friggin god! Just look at the art! Plus the nice philosophy littering every inch of it. To bad it only got 13 eps…

Cyber Idol Mink(Manga)- Until I read this, I’d never heard of it. It’s kiddish but I like the basic storyline, and the idea of being able to turn into a idol when ever you want.

DBZ is definately overhyped, but not overrated. Why do i say this? Because most people who review DBZ gives it a low score.

I sincerely doubt people still watch DBZ. By the time the live aciton gets released, it’ll be dead.

There’s gonna be a live action version? :thinking:

yeah it’ll suck…

over-rated
inu
yu yu hakusho
kenshin

under-
outlaw star
berserk
flcl

FLCL is pretty mainstream, actually.

yeah but no one likes it…so…therefore its underrated… :booster:

Since when did no one like flcl? My mom was getting obsessive over it for awhile, which is rare for her.
I guess Inuyasha would be overated, it’s ok but not as great as some of my friends make it out to be. Though I’m just glad they’re into anime at all. ^^
I really haven’t seen anything that was so awesome that few people know about, so no underated.

i guess people dont hate it…but i get alot of it wasnt great type comments on it

Overrated: Evangelion
Underrated: The Hekenden (AKA the dog warriors)

Overrated: Inuyasha
Pokemon
DBZ(even though I Like It, only because I watched it at a younger age)

Underrated. Urotsukidoji
Azumanga Daioh!
Kikaider

I’ve got another two that’s underrated:

Nuku Nuku DASH!
Nuku Nuku OAV

Ruin Explorers is Underrated, too. Never heard of it? Exactly.
