In the last few years, anime has become popular due to live-action adaptations, celebrities voicing their fondness for the medium, and the strong critical reception to new animated films. Fans can eat shows much better than ever with the help of streaming platforms such as Hulu. The downside of this recently realized simplicity is the overwhelming amount of anime currently accessible of customers. It makes it possible for the major anime shows to fall between the cracks. So, we scoured the contents of Hulu’s anime and discovered a few hidden treasures. Here are six underrated Hulu animes that you should watch
1. Eden of East
Several missiles reached Japan on 22 November 2010. Luckily, there were no injuries that contributed to the “Careless Monday” incident. Three months later, Saki Morimi, a college student, was on a graduation trip to America. She plans to visit the White House on her vacation to throw a coin on the property. Unfortunately, this naive act is getting her in trouble with the police. Luckily, she’s rescued by the happy, peculiar Akira Takizawa, an amnesia-stricken young man. He thinks he’s a jihadist and has a mysterious mobile phone filled with almost 10 billion yen of digital currency.
2. Girls und Panzer
Girls und Panzer is a fun little demonstration about girls driving tanks for a school competition. It relies more on intimate dynamics than the real plot, but that’s a kind of characteristic of all the life-size shows. However, the season progressively circles around the girls winning a nationwide competition to battle their tank skills. The series lasts 14 episodes, so it’s an easy watch. It’s only available with subtitles, however, so bear in mind.
3. Death Parade

Death Parade is a beautiful combination of playful and macabre, culminating in a remarkably deep sequence. The anime is located at a way station of sorts, and when two people die at precisely the same time, they’re sent to this location to play a game against each other. Scrubbed by their memories, these two characters have to engage in a kind of parlor game to decide their future — one of them is going to have an afterlife, and which is just dead, ultimately.
There’s something profoundly persuasive about watching people play air hockey, billiards, or even Twister for the highest stakes imaginable. Every game has also contained warped tricks.
4. The Wallflower
The Wallflower focuses on four men, a mansion, a landlord, and one major issue for the boys: rent. When Sunako Nakahara’s crush declares her disgusting, the incident leads Sunako to ignore something connected to appearance.
Concerned with the unexpected change in conduct in her niece, Sunako’s aunt, the owner of a magnificent mansion where four boys stayed, promised to let the men live free of rent. But only if they can transform Sunako into the “right girl.” If they fail, their rent would triple. Being the good boys they are, they welcome the offer. After all, they have the power to turn someone into a dream woman. But they’ve never seen a girl like Sunako before.
5. Gun X Sword

Released in 2005, Gun x Sword follows Van, a drifter searching for the killer of his fiancée, The Claw, and Wendy Garret, a 13-year-old girl searching for her abducted older brother, Michael.
Through his journeys, Van rescued Wendy’s hometown of Evergreen from a gang of sporting equipment robbers known as the Wild Bunch. After saving the area, Van discovered that the gang had ties to The Claw and had a hand in kidnapping Wendy’s child.
With the Mad Bunch indisposed, Van and Wendy (a lot to Van’s displeasure) head on a quest to find The Claw. Little should they know he’s a lot more dangerous than they might ever imagine.
6. Danganronpa
Danganronpa is a mystery thriller with a few light horror elements. A bunch of school kids are trapped in a game show where they have to commit the perfect murder to escape. They are watched by Monobaer, the host of the game show, and the main antagonist. The show holds a few punches and is a good ride to the very end. It’s based on a video game, and there are several other players in the series.
7. Blood – C

BLood-C is a gory action thriller with elements of horror. Saya and her father are defending a small, isolated town from a race of monsters that can possess everyday inanimate objects and use them to kill people. Those who enjoy action, death, and destruction will almost certainly like this if they can stomach it. We’re not recommending this to children or anyone who gets light-headed at the sight of blood.
8. Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A5i37NKnuY
Even the overpowered characters in an anime can be exhausting because they suck all the suspense out of the scene. Haven’t you noticed, though? I’m Sakamoto taking advantage of this energy and making it the whole aim of its sequence. The premise of Haven’t you heard ? I’m Sakamoto is extremely thin: Sakamoto is a high school student who is unbelievably famous and excel in any single thing he does (the show’s exciting opening credits song does a brilliant job of making Sakamoto the King of all things effortlessly). It may seem like a small angle to a broadcast, but the anime makes Sakamoto’s God-tier skills a constant delight. Rather than get upset about how Sakamoto is always at the top.
9. Astra Lost In Space
It’s so rewarding when an anime can truly impress viewers, and Astra Lost in Space is the best example of a show that looks like one thing, just to take the rug out from under everybody and turn it into a completely different kind of show. The anime looks at a bunch of students who are going out on typical space exploration, but surprisingly they find themselves transported thousands of light-years away, with their survival looking slim. There’s a very Star Trek consistency present as a party hop between planets, get to know each other, and fight to live, but the tale gets deeper and darker and becomes a fascinating commentary on the individuality and strength and hazards of the empire.
10. Id Invaded
ID: Invaded is a brilliant mystery thriller as if Silence of the Lambs and Inception had given birth to a child raised by Darren Aronofsky. The anime is set in a future period where detectives are willing to hop into the serial killer I d as a way to research the cause, collect evidence, and bring together the pieces of these crime scenes. There are, however, some provisions for those who can enter these killer IDs, as well as the nebulous manner in which information is stored inside these IDs.
The star of the series is a detective who is motivated to murder after losing his family and being the perfect isolated choice to help the police deter further crimes from taking place while a potential serial murderer is on the loose.
