So recently I had an anime watch party and we were browsing anime to watch and I came across Pluto. Admittedly I’m only 2 episodes in but so far it’s SO solid. And I’m just surprised I had never heard of it and it came out 3 years ago. Especially since it’s a reimagining of Astroboy and everyone’s heard of that…
Another one I had surprisingly never heard of but so far seems solid is Level E written by Yoshihiro Togashi. My favorite anime is YYH and I loved HxH so how come I hadn’t heard of Level E until now? Again, only 2 episodes in but seems legitimately good and it’s by a wildly successful creator.
What’s an anime you didn’t expect much of because it seems lesser known, but turns out to be very good? I mean like, not only do u like it but ur surprised the general public - casual anime fans aren’t aware of it.
Angel Beats was great but apparently not good enough to go mainstream. Only single season of like 13 episodes. I’ve watched it a few times. It’s funny and I recommend.
What more could they have done with that story? Ended kinda definitively, no?
Pretty much. I just enjoyed it and wanted more.
Definitely heard of angel beats, but never got around to watching it.
It was mainstream for its time. But yeah, great stuff!
Yeah, Angel Beats was very popular for a while when it aired. Previous commenter probably watched it much later
