Comment on Anyone have one or two anime that they watched and were surprised it wasn’t more popular?

These are my submissions
Katanagatari (Bumping OST and cool fights with Nisio Isin writing)
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (vibing isekai too busy surviving to care)
Ben-to (Stupid premise combat anime that lives rent free in my head)

Ben-To is peak. The premise is too silly, though, to get normies into it. I tried. It’s like Keijo!!! in that regard and deserves more love.
Grimgar deserves to be forgotten. Ranta is unsufferable and Haruhiro is whiny and moping around for most of the anime adaptation. I’ve read the light novels further than what was adapted in the anime and by the point I dropped it I couldn’t stand a single character anymore. Even Yume-butt can’t save this. It was incredibly pretty, though. It’s a shame the background artists died.
