WITH THE SHEER AMOUNT OF ANIME OUT THERE, IT'S EASY TO MISS A FEW GEMS. I'VE PUT TOGETHER A SMALL LIST BELOW OF SOME SHOWS FROM THE PAST 10 YEARS THAT I FEEL HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED. SOME OF THESE ARE AN ACQUIRED TASTE AND NOT EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA BUT TRY GIVING THESE SHOWS A CHANCE, I THINK YOU WOULD BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM MS IGLOO - THE HIDDEN ONE YEAR WAR - APOCALYPSE 0079 - THE GRAVITY FRONT: This is by far the most overlooked Gundam series to date, mainly due to its Bandai Museum exclusivity and extremely limited DVD release following. Unlike the other shows I'm covering in this article, I want to go into more detail in terms of MS IGLOO's story as this is not just any old Gundam side-story... MS IGLOO is a 3 part CG series set in the U.C. timeline during the One Year War. The first 2 OVAs, The Hidden One Year Warit plays heavily on Sengoku period history while at the same time being I guess you could call this a comedy but at the same time it packs some pretty heavy drama. After seeing countless adaptations of this period in history, I feel that Hyouge Mono has been the closest with its historical accuracy. That being said there are a few events which did differ from history as to steer the story towards the MC's favour...
