Akiba Maid War suffered in the west from only being on Hidive. That site barely even functions.
Comment on Anyone have one or two anime that they watched and were surprised it wasn’t more popular?

I made the mistake of trying to watch Pluto very soon after reading the series for the first time. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a masterpiece. But I got through two episodes and felt like the adaptation was so 1:1 that I did not feel like I was gaining anything new. It also felt kinda slow to me for some reason. Anyway, probably would enjoy it more if I try again in a few years.
Two shows I adore that I don’t think got a ton of attention are Rock is a Lady’s Modesty and Akiba Maid War.

This is true, Hidive is terrible. Like I’m not opposed to competition in the streaming market but the Hidive app is incredibly broken.

Yeah… I’m not a huge fan of Netflix or Crunchyroll but at least they have essential features like “a next episode button that consistently navigates to the next episode” or “a video player that consistently plays videos”. It’s honestly surprising that Hidive is still around.

Good for me then lol. I don’t really read manga so I usually miss out on a lot of stuff that gets omitted for the adaptation. I’ll add these other two to my watchlist. :)
