I've got one that I bet no one has heard of, considering how old the damn thing is: Mori no Yōki na Kobitotachi: Berufi to Rirubitto

I'm going with Fire Emblem.

it counts though it's like two episodes.

I would not be a FE fan unless I had seen it.

It was... okay. Could have been more.

1980 and ran into 1981.

I'm going to say Mazinger Z but I hope people have heard of it. I'm not talking about Mazinkaiser either, but the original Mazinger Z.

i found an anime, Popotan( i never watched it, only fast-forwarded through it) and i'm guessing it's only 1 episode, due to the fact that it seems to end the series at the end of the episode

by the way, when i started this thread, i didn't know He is my Master aired in the US at all(with enlish diolouge). what channel is it on(if any) on At&T U-Verse?

Also, most of these anime's im making a "WTF are these people talking about" face to.

At first it was definitely under the radar, at least as far as I saw in the ani-blog-o-sphere. After it started the few who did pick it up raved about it like crazy and it became a lot less obscure. I'm glad to see it's being dubbed though, since it's rather different from the rest of the stuff I've seen. :3

Also, Eve no Jikan is a ONA that the site Crunchyroll puts up with soft subs. It's a short 6 episode series (which I just realized has finished so I think I'll go finish it...) that were put up once every month or two. :3

@062regrahc even if you don't know the NAME Popotan, everyone's seen a bit of it: the animated bit for CaramellDansen. Well, the original one like this clip: click (warning: song will be stuck in your head for a while)

Nobody these days knows what Digimon is anymore...

Me, I've got to go with Key the Metal Idol. It was so overshadowed by the other 90s Viz releases (mostly Ranma) and it's out of print now. I've seen only half of the series; I'd love to track down the rest if possible. (Yeah, wish me luck on that one.)

Nanatsu no umi no Tiko / Tico of the Seven Seas

A pretty nice anime which aired on German television ~8 years ago. I really liked it back in the days, anyone ever heard of it?

I think other European countries got this anime as well.

Ginga Densetsu WEED.

I've actually heard of that one.

Okay, now we're entering unheard of territory.

HEAVY METAL L-GAIM

How about these?

Higurashi no Naku Koto Ni
Umineko no Naku Koto Ni

Hidamari Sketch.
Trust me, I'd give my left arm for an English translation of the comic they based it on.
