I second this, but Higurashi's been dubbed, so it may not count as obscure.

These are actually pretty well known, from what I know. They're well known for good reason, though.

As for me, I'd have to go with... Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, and Mirai Nikki (which may or may not count as obscure).

Which is possibly the worst dub of anything ever made.

Must have been really painful if your rips cracks. Now I get it, you wanted to make a joke so that way you can deal with the pain you're going through.

I've only watched the first episode, but it looks like it has potential. Also, it's rather new.

It's a very good Anime. One of my favorite's. I would not call it obscure though, new, yes but not obscure.

You should watch it. My icon is of the main protagonists in the series, Misaki Mei.

ontop of my head, obscure animes would be

Elfen Lied and Ghost in the shell

If you dig into Elfen Lied it gets really obscure ( if you also pay attention to the mangas and stuff )

Have fun

I don't think they're considered "obscure".

Angel Beats isn't even semi-obscure.

The rest? Not sure although I heard about those.

It's doesn't air on American television and I've talked to anime fans who've never heard of it.
it's by no means incredibly obscure, but there are far less obscure on this thread.

almost no one knows Gakuen Alice, DNA^2 gets most of its American fanbase from Newgrounds (refer to Simgirls) and the others are somewhat more obscure than Angel Beats.

So if it's not known in the U.S. then it's obscure?

Even when it's popular in the country of origin?

Okay.

Then I guess Saint Seiya is obscure as well since the only time the series made an appearance in the American television, it got cancelled after 36 episodes due to shitty efforts by DiC. Doraemon's pretty unknown in the U.S. as well so it's really obscure, I mean no one heard of it despite being a pop culture icon in Asia.

With that said, I have a question when it comes to a series I saw.

Is "Shurato" obscure? I mean the only reason why I remember it was because my memory was jogged due to Saint Seiya. The series was made in a attempt to cash in on the success of Saint Seiya and after that it's hardly ever mentioned on anime discussion.

Was the series obscured?

It's hard to know for certain.

It is one of the first anime series I saw and while it may not be great but I still enjoy it. It's pretty dated now but still, gotta love a show with men in armors fighting (and one token female).

Twelve 45 minute long episodes of greatness. The ending was retarded though.
