In recent years, animation has experienced a significant boom with popular television series like Arcane. However, this phenomenon is not new; adult animations like The Simpsons have been a constant source of laughter for fans. Fortunately, the stigma that animation is solely a medium for children has largely faded, but that doesn't mean every great animated series gets the recognition it deserves.

As the popularity of animation rises, it's also easier for fantastic shows to be overlooked. Therefore, this list will highlight ten amazing animated series that even die-hard fans may have missed. Based on factors such as writing, animation, originality, lack of popularity, critical acclaim, overall quality, and deserving recognition, these ten series deserve a spot on everyone's watchlist.

While all the animated series on this list are at least somewhat lesser-known, the most popular among them is likely Scavengers Reign. After a cargo ship crashes on a mysterious planet in deep space, the surviving crew members scatter in a beautiful yet hostile environment. The team, trying to find the remaining cargo and other resources, struggles to reunite to survive and escape this planet.

It may not be accurate to say that "nobody has heard of" Scavengers Reign, but the series has certainly not achieved the popularity it deserves. Despite having a cult following, this show cannot escape cancellation. Due to its popularity compared to other series, it ranks lower on the list, yet it remains a fantastic and overlooked production. Scavengers Reign boasts a hypnotic aesthetic and stunning visual style, making the world-building even more impressive; its dark and compelling story deeply resonates with viewers.
