I've heard of these series before, but they're on Adult Swim....And I can't watch stuff that late. :D All my upper-classmen friends say that they're really good series.....Just wish I could stay up or earn money, grr......

The story line to Wolf's Rain is really deep and Noir really does leave a good impression :) I'm not sure if you know me but we went to the anime seminar together and your website just stuck in my head so I thought I would take a look around I’ve only briefly watched all the series you named but I definately agree with you on all of them so far.

Thanks in part to its high budget, Yoko Kanno music, and sharing some staff with Cowboy Bebop. Sometimes, as anime become older they don't get as much attention because they or their characters simply weren't that memorable. The casts of Eva, Bebob and even Azumanga are iconic, easily recognizable figures that pop out and burn themselves into your memory. The characters of Wolf's Rain and Noir(except perhaps Kirika for the loli/Rei factor) aren't nearly as "fandom-inducing", however engaging their stories might be. Personally, I thought the pacing in Noir was way off, compounded by the endless repetitive flashback scenes. Wolf’s Rain in particular was a HUGELY hyped, high profile show when it came out.

But what I mean is that they haven't "withstood the test of time" for most fans. For example, even now people still talk about shows that were released years ago like Eva, Cowboy Bebop, AzuDai, etc., even among all the new anime coming out, but Noir and Wolf's Rain don't seem to get much attention nowadays like these shows. It's just my opinion of course but I think they deserve a little more than what they get =) I guess they’re not quite as underrated as I thought when they first came out.

When these shows came out back in the fansub days...they were very much OVERRATED especially wolf's rain (oh lawd the fansub dorama.) It's just that so much new anime comes out, that there's newer stuff for people to oogle at rather than go back to older series. Whoa whoa underrated?

Most of these are even more underrated than Noir and Wolf's Rain, in my opinion: Mahou Shoujotai The Third Simoun Ayakashi ~Japanese Classic Horror~ Night Head Genesis Popolocrois Hi no Tori Mermaid's Forest So, need any more? ;) “Can anyone think of any other underrated anime? =)”

Oh, definitely. Most of these are even more underrated than Noir and Wolf’s Rain, in my opinion:
Mahou Shoujotai
The Third
Simoun
Ayakashi ~Japanese Classic Horror~
Night Head Genesis
Popolocrois
Hi no Tori
Mermaid’s Forest

So, need any more? ;)

Really ? Because both have ratings superior to 7.5 on AniDB (which is not exactly "low"), rating on ANN are pretty high too. Here in France Noir aired on regular TV channel (not satellite or cable broadcast), and the DVDs of Wolf's Rain did well too... I don't really know about the reception in japan though...but Bee Train shows (Madlax, Tsubasa Chronicles, .hack series) seems to be quite appreciated. Anyway both series are excellent (even though i agree with those who think the end of the OAV weren't satisfying, the first end was fine...but the OAV...). Wolf’s Rain and Noir are Underrated shows ?
