Line 50:
* ''[[Mouryou no Hako]]'', a one-of-a-kind, utterly mind-consuming mystery series, based on the ''excellent'' novel by Kyougoku Natsuhiko and animated by Madhouse's best (with character designs by [[CLAMP]]!). The script, atmosphere, acting, and plot are captivating and realistic but keep the eerie supernatural vibe present in Kyougoku's novel. And if you weren't already afraid of boxes, well... consider yourself warned.
* The American [[Gag Dub]] of ''[[Duel Masters]]''. The whole concept was far-fetched and silly... yet, it didn't get that far. At least, not before the [[Abridged Series]] appears.
* As it says on the page ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'' is an absolutely fantastic show... and yet no one ever talks about it. Perhaps the title has something to do with it. It's pretty much [[Studio BONES]]' forgotten masterpiece, airing between ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' and ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' in 2003. With an absolutely ''epic'' storyline combining fantasy and science fiction, interesting characters, strong production values, and an excellent dub including the likes of Kari Walghren, Michelle Ruff, Yuri Lowenthal, and ''Crispin F***ing Freeman'', this truly is one of the better shows you're probably not watching.
* Come on, ''[[Beyblade Metal Fusion]]'' needs some love! Just look at its page!
* ''[[Spring And Chaos]]'': an autobiographical OVA base on the life of Kenji Miyazawa, one of Japan's most famous poets. It's directed by ''Shoji Kawamori'' (the ''[[Macross]]'' guy), no less. It's one of the most moving films you'll ever see.
Line 92:
* ''[[Helen ESP]]''. It's a two-volume manga about a blind, deaf and mute girl who finds out she has [[Psychic Powers]], by the author of ''[[Franken Fran]]''--[[Better Than It Sounds|wait, come back here]]! [[Sincerity Mode|No one gets]] [[Gorn|dismembered]] [[Sincerity Mode|in this series, I promise]]! All joking aside, ''[[Helen ESP]]'' has interesting characters and can be quite [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] at times.
* The ''[[Monster Rancher (anime)|Monster Rancher]]'' anime had pretty much everything you could ask for in an anime—a deep storyline, plenty of [[Monster Rancher/Awesome|Moments Of Awesome]], knowing the stakes were serious, compelling characters, and a pretty good English dub. But it got sidelined by Pokemon and Digimon.
* ''[[Pumpkin Scissors]]'' is an anime and manga that features a story about the aftermath of a major conflict on the size and technological level similar to that of the First World War. The core group of characters are part of an army group dedicated to the recovery effort, and have to deal with the damage caused by the war ranging from food shortages to riots to rogue army units and super soldiers. The characters also have to deal with corruption, the ire of the masses for being part of the army, and lack of respect from other army units for being 'soft'. It also has an aesthetic similar to that of '[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.
* ''[[Dennou Coil]]'' is a science fiction anime from 2007 which gained quite some recognition during its airing, but has since failed to retain its popularity. The show is about a group of children in a small town, who all use a type of computer in the form of glasses as means to play around on the digital interface overlapping the city, often bumping into trouble of some kind. The animation and soundtrack are beautiful, although the character designs and colouring could be seen as somewhat subdued - it gives the series a sense of realism that brings out the childish fantasy and emotions bubbling underneath.
* ''[[Variante]]'' is a [[Tear Jerker|sad]] 19-issue manga involving a dead girl coming back to life, a secret government agency that wishes to use her, and monsters that they are tasked with both fighting and hiding from the public.
