LunaLilac Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 If you've been to one or two of our movie nights you probably know I'm interested in lesser known titles, and I think everyone has different experiences with media so I'm curious. What is that one anime only you know about? That one obscure thing none of your friends have ever heard of, but you know is great. I want to hear some interesting responses! 3
kuuchan Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 The Marshmallow Times This is a cute lil anime about these kids and their sheep mascot that write a school news paper. The show has this really cute cartoon aesthetic and all characters have this quirky and coloful sense of style! I think it's really fun and cute, i discovered it around the time i started being little actually haha. It's been fan subbed by someone on Youtube, but sadly they haven't gotten very far and have been inactive for quite a long time. https://www.youtube.com/@MarshmallowSubs Shippu! Iron Leaguer Dunno how obscure this is considered anymore, but at the time i was hyperfixated on this show back in 2012-2013 it felt like only me and my friendgroup at the time were screaming about this. (Also the fansub was still ongoing at the time, but i think it finished a long time ago). But yeah, a sunrise robot show about robot sports. Literally that's it. Lol there was this deep plot to it too, but as the show hadn't finished it's subs at the time, i watched the rest of the show with the RAWs and well, my japanese skills are quite limited lol. But the characters were all cute and fun, and hey it's a sports anime but cooler cus robots are cool. Battle Arena Toshinden OVA I'm sure the fans of the games know about this one, but the games themselves seem a bit on the obscurer side (imo at least lol i've only played toshinden 4 once!) I also don't even remember what this one was about or if it was good or not lol, i just remember it looked really nice with that 90s art style lol. Battle Spirits: Ryuuko no Ken Art of Fighting anime and i hate this one lol. i hate it because i love art of fighting so much, i feel that game deserved a better anime sigh 😞 we watched quite a lot of fighting game based anime a few years ago, i'm sure a lot of it would be considered obscure enough for this list lol 😄 1
Middlespace Brat Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Polar Bear Cafe!!!! It's perfect for Littles. It's slice-of-life, and it follows a Polar Bear who runs a cafe. We see his life, the life of all the animals who are customers, and just silliness! My favorite is Panda, he's super lazy and silly. I would liken it to We Bare Bears in the US, but of course it's more anime-ish than WBB. 2
LunaLilac Posted February 3 Author Report Posted February 3 That sounds awesome! I love quieter shows, they help me be less stressed out, and I need that in my life. 1
LunaLilac Posted February 8 Author Report Posted February 8 Last night we watched Dragon's Heaven, and I think that would count for weird, it starts out with stop motion, is a decently light mecha anime that then stops 60% the way through the runtime for credits and behind the scenes stuff. 1
