[SnoopyG]

Yakitate Japan is really underrated, but that's probaly cuz not much ppl know about it.

And Overrated is the Dragon Ball series.

[black orb]

Neon Genesis Evangelion is by far the most overrated anime ever.
>>> yeah, that one and Inuyasha.

[ThroneofDravaris]

Neon Genesis Evangelion is by far the most overrated anime ever.

Lol, I actually agree with that to some extent considering someone used it as an excuse to kill his mother….

Still the best Anime ever though!

Hmmm:

Overrated: Gasaraki, .hack//SIGN, Naruto, Full Metal panic (still like it though)

Underrated: Spriggan, Azumanga daioh. Excel Saga, Card Captor Sakura (english version wasn't THAT bad...), Gundam Wing, Puni Puni Poemi, Galaxy Angel, Kiddy Grade, Metropolis.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Overrated:

Underrated:
Street Fighter II: V
Street Fighter Alpha
Gundam X
Yu Yu Hakusho

I haven't watched enough anime to find out more.

[Orestes]

Yu Yu Hakusho is most definitely underrated.

[Rye]

Yeah, Yu Yu Hakusho is good. It's the only anime that I like that's not overraved. The ones I like are DBZ, Tenchi Muyo, Rurouni Kenshin, One Piece, and sometimes Zatch Bell. At least, I think Tenchi Muyo is. I miss it.

[White Raven]

Overated:
Naruto (Still love it though :P)
FMP

Underated:
Trigun
Hellsing

I really don't understand why Naruto keeps going strong, while Trigun and Hellsing died out pretty early. Oh well, such is the life of anime.

[Orestes]

Eh, I got lost in the last episodes of Hellsing. It just kind of went on a whole different tangent and left me wondering what the crap just happened.

Maybe I should go back and watch it again.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Overrated I'd say is Sailor Moon and DBZ. And as much as it wounds my heart to say it, Evangelion is quite overrated as well. Forgive me Eva! I still love you!

Anyways, a few underrated are Spiral, Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles, and just about all the other good anime that hasn't been licensed.

[SomethingBig]

Street Fighter Alpha
I ordered that from Blockbuster, but it still hasn't come yet. :crying2: Is it as good as Street Fighter II?

And Yu Yu > DBZ. If you see the Yusuke vs... that other Spirit Detective, then you'll understand why.

Kuagaro, or however it's spelt?

I like DBZ better. The new DBZ is owned by Yu Yu, but the older Freeza -Cell era is so much better.

[Shoeberto]

Overrated: DBZ, Inuyasha
Underrated: Paranoia Agent (it doesn't seem like many people watch it, probably due to its time slot), Escaflowne.

Naw, Sensui.

I liked old DBZ, too, up until the Majin Buu saga. I still like Yu Yu better, though.

[faster skating penguin]

Darth Holm, I DEMAND you give your reasons for calling FLCL overrated, as most reviews give it upper-middle ratings (7/10ish), when anything under 10/10 is underrating it.

OVERRATED:

Naruto - it sucks
Inuyasha - Decent, but fairly "meh"
Neon Gensis Evangelion - People calling it the "Greatest Anime Ever" make me want to crap my pants, vomit and splew blood from my eyes at the same time.

UNDERRATED:

Excel Saga - Why have so many people not heard of this? Almost every comedy anime you see these days owns a huge debt to Excel Saga

Voices of a Distant Star - Calling this anything less than pure genius is severly underrating it.

[krissy]

im watching gunXsword, it's pretty underrated right now because its only on ep 4, but it's cool if you are a nerd which i am
it takes every cliche from every anime/movie ever and tries to mix it all tohgether, it's interesting
anyway i think it will be big

You couldn't be more right.

[Excelsior]

Overrated:
Cowboy Bebop
One Piece
Inuyasha

these people win at life.

[Lionx]

Overrated ones are Naruto, Dragon Ball, Inuyasha, and Cowboy Bebop. For me Evangelion is pretty good, does it live up to its hype? Nope...but i still say its pretty damn good.

I am unsure of this but Bleach might be the overrated one at the moment.

Underrated:

Genshiken
Kojiki no Gash Bell

Genshiken
Kojiki no Gash Bell

I loved Genshiken man that anime ruled especially the cosplay episode.

One question? The chick with the black hair on genshiken most likely lived in a southern state if she had compliments of her long hair.

[Takara]

Overrated:
Naruto
The whole Dragon Ball series
Sailormoon
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Inuyasha
Coyboy Bebop
Chobits
Akira

Underrated:
Record of Lodoss War
Yu Yu Hakusho
Excel Saga
Voices of a Distant Star
Bubble Gum Crisis

[Mo-Nercy]

I am still shocked to this day to know that Excel Saga is so unheard of. Death portrayed in the most hilarious way...every 5 minutes.

Out of what I've seen of One Piece, it's not bad. But that's me.

<3's Azumanga Daioh. Like, why the heck not? :D

[DMKA]

Puni Puni Poemy (a spinoff OVA of Excel Saga) is even better, and even less heard of.

[Destai]

Neon Genesis Evangelion is by far the most overrated anime ever.

Lol, I actually agree with that to some extent considering someone used it as an excuse to kill his mother….Please, do tell! But I agree that its over rated but I still think its brilliant and way better than most anime.

.hack//SIGN, Thats hardly highly rated in the first place. Its just praised for great music, characters, animation and storyline but the storyline is very very slow.
Underated:......ummm

Over rated: Sailor Moon and DBZ.

[Peegee]

What's so overrated about Naruto? Besides the filler sagas, it's a good anime. The important fighting sequences are amazingly animated as well.

I don't get it. Even DBZ wasn't as well animated.

Overrated:

DBZ, Eva, hack//sign//dusk, Ghost in the Shell

Under-rated:

I have to put down everything I like that nobody else could possibly like:

Midori no Hibi
Monster (ZOMG I FORGOT TO DOWNLOAD EPS!)
Ikki Tousen (omg fanservice gallore)

[SomethingBig]

Ghost in the Shell
I don't know how I missed Ghost in the Shell for my overrated list.

[Shoeberto]

Yeah, same. I didn't even know what was going on with the story half the time.

[Madame Adequate]

Who, may I ask, is actually overrating Sailor Moon? I rarely see people who are fans...

Overrated: Naruto, Eva, Cowboy Bebop.

Underrated: Project A-Ko, Bubble Gum Crisis, Ranma 1/2 (At least from what I've seen, which I confess is not much.), and Fushigi Yugi.

[black orb]

>>> Slam Dunk and Hajime no Hippo are another underrated anime/manga..

Ranma1/2 > Inuyasha.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Ippo, not Hippo, Rod.

[black orb]

>>>> Dude.. i was thinking on Hippos for some reason.. :D
stupid me..

[_Asorie]

Overrated:
Inuyasha (I *like* Inuyasha, but its dragging length and tired gags killed any chance of its being as great as it could have been)
Gundam Wing (I could NEVER understand the obsession over this show, but...to each her own)

Underrated:
Scrapped Princess
Chrno Crusade

[MJN SEIFER]

Ham=Ham (Aka Hamtaro) can be eaiser overated or underated depending wetheter you watch the japanese/English (Good) Or the American (poor)

[Erdrick Holmes]

Dirty Pair goes on the underrated list, dispite have an awkward title it's terrific. And Kei is such a babe.

[Materia Hunter Yuffie]

Overated
naruto, Naruto, NARUTO!!! (If I turn on CN and hear "believe it" again i will puke)
Dragon Ball Z (does anyone ever really die in that anime? Not a fan of death, but if their dead their dead!)
Underated
Escaflowne (I have a little bit of an obsession with it right now and I am listening to the ending theme. Hated the ending, okay shutting up now and not spoiling)

[kikimm]

Yep.
