What anime do you think the attention they get don't simply do justice? I often see that popular anime like Kimetsu no Yaiba, Boku no Hero Academia and Naruto get more and more popular among the otaku while the underrated anime keep being drowned in sea of anime. For me, what I think are underrated:

• Grand Blue/Baka to Test, in term of comedy
• Shinryaku! Ika Musume, in term of slice of life
• Gakkou Gurashi, in term of foreshadowing, plot-wise, horrow-wise and in zombie-category
• Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, in term of kawaii
• Beelzebub, in term of shounen
• Kuma Bear/Shinchou Yuusha, in term of isekai

No particular order:

  1. Dororo - Look, I get it. A lot of people were a little letdown by the final stretch of the second part, but as someone who's familiar with the source material, this new anime adaptation of a classic Osamu Tezuka manga really did a great job modernizing this story. The ending is actually somewhat changed from the original, and I personally find it way more satisfying this way.
  2. Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan - "Really? Really? You're gonna pick the Liru anime?" Well, yeah. I am. Almost every anime website with a ranking system lists it as a 7/10, but I'd argue it's a strong 8. It's a pretty good comedy about a group of misfit girls from the underworld trying to fit into the surface. Slapstick and comedy ensues. Maybe I'm just a Liru stan, but I'd say it's definitely an 8. You appreciate it more when you've seen a lot of anime attempt what this one did, but not execute it nearly as well.
  3. BNA (Brand New Animal) - "OK, furry." Hear me out, though. A lot of people are harder on this one than they should've been. Sure, the story isn't groundbreaking, and it's very Studio Trigger in execution, but don't let that distract you from how genuinely aesthetically pleasing this show is. With a story revolving around concepts from Osamu Tezuka's 'Vampire', and a very cozy, detailed atmosphere, it's a really good show to draw artistic inspiration from. It would have only benefitted if Trigger gave the show a 24-episode runtime instead of a 12-episode one. To show you just how deeply satisfying the art is, I'm gonna post some official concept art below.
Show me dat GOOD ART (Criminally underrated)

That's some nice suggestions. I've never heard of second one but you made me at least wanting to watch Dororo and BNA (worried of being called a furry at first)

Koe no Katachi (or "A Silent Voice", the internatinal name)

Not really an anime but an animated film produced by Kyoto Animation before the tragic fire.
I will not say anything more, just go watch it, it's only 2 hours, you won't regret it.
Trust me.

EDIT : for the underrated thing, the film was out at the same time as Your Name and some people like to compare the two and say that Your Name is better at some points... They just didn't understand how deep and what subjects Koe no Katachi talks about

Some underrated anime (for me) is:
  1. All Out (sports)
  2. Kengan Ashura (action)
  3. Baki (action)
  4. Daiya no Ace (sports)
  5. Grand Blue (comedy)
  6. Yowamushi Pedal (sports)

Ehh, food wars is underrated? I don't watch that anime but I still remember it getting its hype since its first release, I think it only died out a year later after its last season ended.
