Metamorphosis uses the cockroach transformation as a metaphor for how people with disabilities are often dehumanized and isolated in case you hadn’t already figured that out.
Not sure if it's niche, but never met anyone else who's watched it so...Highschool of the dead. Niche and it would make others definitely see me as weird for enjoying it...I swear I wasn't in it for the fanservice...
I think Highschool DxD is just a very common power fantasy, normal for young boys. Compared to many other Isekais these days, it could even be considered rather old-school. Sure, there is much nudity in it, and some enthusiasm about boobs, but other than that it was a pretty understandable piece of work. I would even go as far as saying it's Dragon Ball but count power level in boobs and hot girls.
Not niche at all but this is how I feel explaining Chainsawman to non-anime fans or casual watchers who don’t watch anime that often. Its peak but also batshit insane lol
Maybe Mekakucity Actors or Rec, before I’d have said Paranoia Agent or Katanagatari but feel like they’re pretty well known nowadays
Shiki. Pretty, unique hair, scary, and a classic vampire story. The only anime that had actually scared me, I've watched it multiple times. It's very good but not popular.
Is this anime still considered niche? Other than that, it seems like almost any CGDCT slice-of-life anime would have almost every non-anime, or battle-shonen anime, watcher give me dirty looks like I'M the cockroach.
Sidenote: This series was made for older adult male (Seinen) audiences.
It's so rare to see fans of this anime (at least for me)

Hige wo Soru. Not niche but it's a great anime with a controversial premise
Honestly I avoid it for a long time because of the title but a post on this sub convinced me to check it out definitely good
It must be me recommending this LOL i'm lobbying hard for this shit 😂
Maybe but looking at your account seems to be too new I watched it back in the spring. Unless this is a new account.
Ping Pong Club
Dude what on earth on that
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
Basically a story about a dude who wakes up as a cockroach and the story's events are how his family starts treating him differently because of it.
I'm pretty sure the image was used for other purposes though.

Think the fly but not really
😭
I remember reading this in college
I read it in 11th grade (German Gymnasium)
I hear the official Kirby website uses it as placeholder text instead of Lorem Ipsum.
loved this book, I knew the image looked familiar
it is a metaphor for degeneracy and feeling grossed out so it fits pretty well depending on your recommendations
that's what they say to me too :(

I don't think Highschool DxD is so niche
I think Highschool DxD is just a very common power fantasy, normal for young boys. Compared to many other Isekais these days, it could even be considered rather old-school. Sure, there is much nudity in it, and some enthusiasm about boobs, but other than that it was a pretty understandable piece of work. I would even go as far as saying it's Dragon Ball but count power level in boobs and hot girls.
That’s a fun take idk I understood the meme, as referring to ‘cultured anime’ first thing that came to mind
if the rec makes them see me as a roach, then Monogatari
Yuusha ga shinda and joukamachi no dandelion
Isekai Seikishi Monogatari
When I say that the Tokyo Ghoul manga is great but people think about the story (changed and ruined) of the anime
Anyone with standard didn't watch more than a couple episodes of "season 2"
Am I misunderstanding or are you calling the TG manga niche? 😅
"I've been reincarnated as a turkish man but I am actually super strong."... Oh wait, i think i didn't get the question correctly.
Not niche at all but this is how I feel explaining Chainsawman to non-anime fans or casual watchers who don’t watch anime that often. Its peak but also batshit insane lol

A sister is all you need lol.
Doraemon to my American family.
Not that they hate anime, it's because it's niche in America.
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan
I wouldn't call them niche but Ishuzoku Reviewers and Space Dandy

i just want to know that Genshiken exists to other people besides myself

I'm confused what a niche anime because in my first lenguage niche is a slang for black. I dont get it.
It’s long title “alya sometimes hides her feeling in Russian”is a goated romance
I wouldn't consider it niche though
Ts dominated summer 2024
Did it? I only discovered it towards December
Number 2 spot that season according to mal
Oh I didn’t know lol
