Here Are the Nominees for the Most Underrated Anime of 2023
Welcome to the Epicstream Anime Awards 2023! Let's dive into the most overlooked anime that left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to discover them.
Heavenly Delusion
This Disney+ anime is a true hidden gem with a great plot and mystery that slowly unravels as the series progresses.
Inside a world closed by a wall, Tokio lives alongside fellow children. However, his routine is disrupted when he receives a message inviting him to explore the world beyond.
Simultaneously, Maru, accompanied by an older woman, travels a desolate landscape in search of an elusive paradise, struggling to sustain a modest existence.
Undead Murder Farce
A gothic murder mystery, Undead Murder Farce, is set in the late 19th century, a vampire’s wife is killed, prompting the intervention of the mysterious cage user detective.
As he investigates, the mysteries deepen, revealing a connection between the detective, his strange birdcage, and the supernatural.
In a case involving monsters, it seems it takes one to understand one.
Dr. Stone: New World
In my opinion, the entire Dr. Stone franchise is highly underrated, and the lack of buzz around this spectacular show is mindboggling.
Anyway, Dr. Stone: New World is quite underrated this season and fans can give this one a watch.
Like the previous seasons, the heart of the series is in the right place as Senku continues to be this curious, genius scientist.
The pacing of Dr. Stone: New World is good. With the Kingdom of Science venturing into uncharted territories, it becomes a captivating watch.
Skip and Loafer
One of the most comforting and beautiful anime that deserves more attention and love is Skip and Loafer.
This slice-of-life anime came like fresh air with realistic high school characters. The bonds these characters form with each other are heartwarming.
The protagonist, Mitsumi Iwakura, has her set of quirks and imperfections, yet she embodies a delightful blend of brilliance and relatable human qualities.
I hold a genuine likeness for Mitsumi and her charming persona.
The Yuzuki Family’s Four Sons
The story is about four brothers – Hayato, the family’s provider and educator; Mikoto, who displays an affectionate attitude toward Minato; the reserved Minato; and the confident Gakuto.
The anime was profoundly touching, and comforting and beautifully explores the family dynamics.
And, the Most Underrated Anime of 2023 Is…
Undead Murder Farce! This anime is a delight for fans of mystery and fantasy.
The storyline of Undead Murder Farce bears a striking resemblance to the classic Sherlock Holmes tales. This detective-type supernatural anime series is a must-watch.
