Animes are very popular around the world. Animes like DBZ, Naruto, One Piece etc.
are so popular that everyone has seen it or must have heard of it.
But there are also some animes which have lesser fan base and thus watched by only few people.
Here are the top 5 lesser known Animes which has a very small fan base.
1. Ultimate Otaku Teacher
Denpa Kyoushi, also known as – Ultimate Otaku Teacher. Released back in 2015.
It’s an Anime series in the genre of humor, school life and comedy. But almost every episode is packed with practical life lessons that are inspirational, motivational, and encouraging.
Lessons like – building your own self-worth. Or learning how to be confident and make friends. Among many other great life lessons.
The main characters are Junichirou Kagami and Suzune Kagami. Both brother and sister.
Junichirou is a lazy Otaku who has YD, which means – he can only do the things he yearns to do.
Suzune gets sick of his slack attitude and finds him a job as a high school teacher. And that’s how the Anime show kicks off.
I’ve only ever heard one person recommend Denpa Kyoushi, and I’m glad I watched this as it’s refreshing. Regardless of not being the most popular Anime out there.
2. Scrapped Princess
Scrapped Princess is a historical Anime series with mages and swordsman. Released back in 2003.
The main focus of the series is Pacifica Casull. A young 15-year-old girl who everybody believes once she turns 16, she’ll bring chaos and destruction to the world.
The other two main characters are Pacifica’s older sister and brother – Shannon Casull and Raquel Casull.
I loved the pace of the show and the characters are memorable. And watching it makes you relate what’s happening to life.
Pacifica is an introverted character who likes to have her own space. But will light up and become talkative when she finds someone who interests her.
Raquel is the type of person who is intelligent, funny, and sometimes pretends to know less than she does. She’s the “fun” character of the group. And finally, Shannon is the big brother who is more of the serious type.
All three of their personalities go well together.
Scrapped Princess will appeal to you if you love fantasy Anime shows. Packed with magic, mystery, historical scenes and adventure.
3. Sunday Without God
Sunday Without God was released back in 2013. And is 12 episodes long?
The main characters:
Ai Aston.
Hambart Hampnie.
Scar.
The name of this Anime is what caught my attention, as it’s unique among Anime titles.
Sunday Without God tells a story about how the world changed once god abandoned the world on Sunday. Preventing people from being able to die. Among other problems and mysteries.
Ai Aston sets out on a mission to explore the world with the intention to make a difference. And help out where she can.
If fantasy/mystery is your thing, you’ll fall in love with this Anime series. And the music is amazing.
Plus the Anime is refreshing as it focuses on a topic that’s not typical or overused in the world of Anime.
4. You’re Under Arrest
The manga for this Anime was first made in 1986. The Anime series – You’re Under Arrest was released in 1996.
You’re Under Arrest focuses on the two Tokyo Police officers – Natsumi Tsujimoto and Miyuki Kobayakawa.
Each episode tells the stories and lives of Natsumi And Miyuki as they patrol the city of Tokyo, doing their job. And the lives and adventures they lead when they’re not on patrol.
You’re Under Arrest isn’t the most unusual Anime as far as the story. But compared to the typical genre of Anime these days, it’s one of the most unique genre’s out there.
And one of the oldest Anime shows ever created.
If you’re up for something different and don’t mind watching an old Anime series, you’ll love the slice of life style episodes, romance, high-speed police chases and emotional moments seen throughout You’re Under Arrest.
5. Noir
Noir was released back in 2001. 16 years ago.
The story focuses on two assassins – Mireille Bouquet and Kirika Yuumura.
Mireille is the type of person who appears strong on the outside, which she is. But then has a more soft side to her that few get to see.
Kirika is the introvert of the group, who has lost her memory and seeks to find answers to her past life.
Unlike similar shows, Noir has no blood whatsoever. But the story is quite deep, sad, and full of emotions.
Noir almost makes you feel bad for the assassins, especially when you discover why and how they became assassins in the first place.
Noir’s far from popular, but the quality of the show is undeniable. And I’d recommend watching it. Especially if action, drama, and mystery Anime shows interest you.
