These 3 Anime Deserve Way More Hype — Change My Mind

When people think of popular anime, the same titles always come up — Naruto, One Piece, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia. But beyond the mainstream hits, there are shows that never got the attention they deserve, despite offering something fresh, stylish, or just plain fun.

Here are three anime that I think deserve way more hype:

tiger and bunny good underrated anime

1. Tiger & Bunny

Before the explosion of superhero anime like My Hero Academia, Tiger & Bunny was already doing it — and doing it in style. Instead of teenagers in training, it follows professional heroes who not only save lives but also deal with sponsorships, branding, and popularity contests.

At its heart, though, it’s a buddy-cop story between the old-school veteran “Wild Tiger” and the flashy rookie “Barnaby.” Packed with heart, humor, and social commentary, Tiger & Bunny feels ahead of its time and still holds up today.

Hamatora good underrated anime

2. Hamatora: The Animation

Hamatora is an anime that often flies under the radar, but it has so much to offer. Think detective mystery meets X-Men — a stylish blend of quirky characters with unique powers (“Minimums”) solving crimes while uncovering deeper conspiracies. It’s colorful, fast-paced, and full of style, with a strong emphasis on friendship and trust.

If you’re looking for something that combines slick visuals with an intriguing story, this one is worth digging up.

undead unluck good underrated anime

3. Undead Unluck

This one is pure chaotic energy in the best way possible. Undead Unluck is a wild shounen that takes typical tropes — crazy battles, over-the-top abilities, unexpected comedy — and cranks them to eleven. The premise itself is insane: a girl whose bad luck kills anyone she touches teams up with an immortal man who wants to die.

What follows is a fast, unpredictable ride with surprisingly emotional depth underneath the chaos. If you want something new, bold, and fun, this is it.

Change my mind?

Anime hype often gets dominated by the big names, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t hidden gems worth watching.

Whether it’s the forward-thinking hero world of Tiger & Bunny, the stylish powers of Hamatora, or the absolute madness of Undead Unluck, these series prove that underrated doesn’t mean unworthy.

So, do these deserve more hype? Or am I wrong?
