Shradow Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 The game and anime for Gungrave are actually quite different. The game is like DMC but without the platforming and puzzles; just focused on action. While the anime has its fair share of it, it sacrifices a lot of the over-the-top action of the game and is more character-focused, being closer to an alternate retelling of the plot. For example, there's tons of character development, and it greatly expands on the characters' backstories. It's not until about halfway through the anime where it actually gets to the events of the game's beginning. Its ending and the events immediately leading up to it are also very different. I also went ahead and added the Drama tag to it's entry. EDIT: TIL the same guy who created Trigun and Kekkai Sensen was behind the story and characters for the game. Makes sense.

Nicο Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 The game and anime for Gungrave are actually quite different. If it's that different, plus the fact that I did only say I've heard of it a few times, yeah, it seems like a fine thing to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King K. Azo Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hajime no Ippo. I dunno, it's only one of the top 3 longest running manga series (beating One Piece, just to give you an idea), it's really good, like... amazing... but I never see anyone talking about it. Is it because it's a boxing manga? Or a sports one in general? It's also been split up into a lot of different series for some reason. The first one is Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting!. Second is Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger. And the last is Hajime no Ippo: Rising. The only one licensed in North America was called Fighting Spirit.

I for one wouldn't consider Ippo underrated at all. On a similar note it's impossible to find people discussing Slam Dunk in the modern century but that one is also anything but underrated.

Aix Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Oyasumi Punpun (Manga) - Psychological, Drama, Slice of Life, Black ComedyExtremely realistic and depressing portrayal of life and people. Characters are flawed, complex, immoral, and dealing with far more than they can handle. Each of them has their own unique ideologies and ways of coping with the tribulations of life.Just highly affecting, relatable, thought-provoking, and open to personal interpretation.Highly detailed and realistic-looking art (starts off with everyone with weird, ugly faces, but becomes normal when he grows older)Considering how it's rated 4th on Top Manga on MAL (including light novels and everything), can't exactly say it's underrated, but I honestly have never heard of anyone ever talk about it.

Nicο Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Naruto is the major underratted anime.There was something about Jump that made me think of considering all of their titles to be too popular to be underrated, but that's obviously not the case, because there are some major flops that had quite the potential. That said, Naruto is not one of those. It's a Jump title, and one of the most popular on top of that, making it actually one of the most widely known anime out there. It is anything but unnderrated, and that goes for pretty much everywhere in the world. Serious post: Oh shut up you stupid troll!! and/or nice try, jester.

Johan Liebert Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Boogiepop Phantom, maybe Paranoia Agent or Serial Experiments Lain or Yu Yu Hakusho (in comparison to every other popular and long-running series), and maybe also Now and Then, Here and There. Oh, and at least in where I live, Monster. Definitely Monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicο Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Anime:Rainbow Days/Nijiiro Days - Comedy, Romance, Shoujo, Slice of LifeShoujo centered around a group of male friendsIt may be a little too convenient that there's basically just enough for every character to be paired, but there is a bit of a twist on that,and it does have that somewhat uncommon gender balance going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
