anyone else have really obscure animes/tv shows that you love but nobody's seen?

i haven't met anyone who's watched Dennou Coil, someone's gotta be out there.

Virtua Fighter.

Dennou Coil is literally one of my top five anime series. Not even kidding. I saw the title, looked in to raise that one and ... =D

I re-watched it again a few months ago. Still fantastic.

Other obscure ones... I have an enduring love of Witch Hunter Robin, too. Nobody seems to have bothered with that one, which is a shame.

@Greyjoy

wow, yay!! it was the first one i ever watched. so happy to see another who's watched it! :D

i'm holding off on rewatching it until i forget most of it, hoping to re-live it entirely.

that anime sounds like one my friend would watch, but no, i haven't seen it.

@NightRising

I watched it first in about ... 2009 (due to being part of an LJRP that referenced it), so I had plenty of time to forget it, haha. It's way better on the re-watch when you forget some of the plot points.

Densuke wasn't any less heartbreaking the second time around. ;n;

It's nice to find somebody else who has seen it, though. It doesn't seem to get anywhere near as much attention as it should, which is a shame.

@Greyjoy

poor Densuke.. :(

Haraken is my favorite character in the anime, the thing with Kanna? very sad.

jeez, i dunno when i first watched it... it was at least 4-5 years ago..? it was so good. i hope more people can enjoy it!

Say I if you've heard of it

It seems like no one knows about Miss Monochrome. Then I saw a short anime about cute girls who can turn into planes and fighter jets, it was really out there and I can't remember the name. The entire anime felt like an obscure fever dream.

-GARO is live-action, but actually pretty anime-like. Worth a watch if you're one of those type that look at FF summon animations a lot, it's a fantasy themed Toku. It also has an anime that is in no relation to the show itself (fansubs: Gomenrider for the original series, Over-Time for everything else, dunno about the anime). YouTube tends to have some clips if you're curious.

-Kamen Rider Fourze in particular is silly. The show knows it's silly, everyone is perfectly fine with it being silly, and the protagonist will make friends with EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. If you like that kind of thing this thing is a complete blast (fansubs: with KR in general it's Over-Time unless they don't cover it, OZC-Live has a few Blu-Ray versions of their subs. If they didn't cover it then consult http://kamenriderguide.weebly.com).

I!

I read the manga for a while ages and ages ago. I keep meaning to go back to it, but I never seem to find the time.
