Seven overlooked anime series from Toonami are praised as masterpieces

Toonami introduced American audiences to anime, but some of the shows it aired never built a lasting fan base.

A recent list highlights seven lesser-known series that are now praised for their quality.

The shows cover different stories and styles rather than following one formula.

Michiko and Hatchin follows an escaped prisoner and a young girl as they search for a man across a fictionalized South American landscape.

Their journey explores how the two very different characters come to understand one another.

Eureka Seven follows teenager Renton as he joins a close-knit group and faces mecha battles, love, war and growing up.

These examples show why overlooked Toonami series may appeal to viewers looking for distinctive anime beyond the best-known titles.
