One of the things that has always struck me is how some anime become extremely popular around the world, while in Japan they go almost unnoticed. In this list, we'll mention 5 anime that the Japanese didn't enjoy as much, but that won our hearts. Let's go!

5. Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul
  • Genre: Action, Supernatural, Drama.
  • Studio: Pierrot
  • Episodes: 48

Tokyo Ghoul is one of the most popular anime of all time, at least in the rest of the world, because in Japan the anime sold few units of its Blu-Ray and had a low audience compared to other anime of the time, although its manga sold a lot there, surpassing the mark of 500 thousand units per volume, but the anime did not please.

4. Parasyte

Parasyte
  • Genre: Horror, Thriller, Action
  • Studio: MadHouse
  • Episodes: 24

Parasyte is another one that became super popular in the West and unfortunately in Japan nobody gave a damn about it, but to make up for that the entire manga was adapted into an anime.

3. Deadman Wonderland

Deadman Wonderland
  • Genre: Action, Thriller, Psychological
  • Studio: Manglobe
  • Episodes: 12

This is another one that is among the 50 most popular of all time but in Japan it was a total failure, but I ask you to check out the end of the manga, it was cool.

2. Another

Another
  • Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery, Romance
  • Studio: PA Works
  • Episodes: 12

Another is one of the most popular horror anime of all time, however in Japan it was far from that, a total failure.

1. Noragami

Noragami
  • Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama, Supernatural
  • Studio: Bones
  • Episodes: 24

Noragami is one of the most popular anime of all time worldwide, except in Japan where nobody paid attention to it, even though everyone asks for a third season, it gets more and more difficult with each passing year, who knows, maybe there will be an announcement a day after the end of the manga, for now, we have to wait.
