10. Silver Spoon
Hiromu Arakawa’s popularity may stem from her hit shounen series Fullmetal Alchemist. However, she still has a lot to offer, even though most anime fans are unaware of it.

Eden of the East is an anime that is often overlooked but is undeniably amazing. The series features a college student named Saki Morimi and her new friend, Akira Takizawa, whom she meets in Washington DC.

Saki, Akira and a number of other people must spend the money to save Japan after the bloodiest terrorist attack takes place there. If they fail to comply, a disaster will come.
8. Angels of Death
Angels of Death is not inspired by a manga series, but rather by a video game of the same name. The young heroine, Rachel Gardner, a.k.a. Ray, wakes up in a horror house with a massive underground prison. She also meets a scythe-wielding man named Zack. Rachel and Zack then team up. They do it to get out of that strange place while a voice of evil guides them through the intercom. Rachel also hides a dark secret from Zack. The truth about her family could change everything.

He soon befriends his classmates, but they also have secrets. They might already know Arata’s secret about his age.
6. Senryu Girl
Some anime fans may have overlooked this anime, Senryu Girl. Its premise is almost similar to Komi Can’t Communicate. In Senryu Girl, there’s a deredere girl named Nanako who only communicates through written poetry. Nanako soon befriends a former well-meaning punk named Eiji Busujima.
