Something a little more under the radar.

Ive been plowing through some of the more light toned titles lately (Excel Saga, Steel Angel Kurumi, Grave of the Fireflies, Happy Lesson and so on), and am looking for some lesser known titles.

Something with a dub is preferred, i like to multi task when watching shows and lose focus a lot because im old.

heh, yeah

Transformers: RiD aka Car Robots in Japan. It premiered in 2000, and features a new continuity with Autobots vs. Predacons. This was the first of four series following the Beast era which were made in Japan first and later dubbed into English. The dub... isn't great. I personally disliked how they kept in many anime tropes, and added in ear grating robotic sound effects.

It's on Netflix. And no you don't need to play League to understand it. My mom, who hates anime, saw me watching it last year and started watching with me. It's really good.

Are you the only one who loves me

One of the few harem anime where the main character and girls are all actually well developed characters outside of their relationship to one another, the girls have good reasons for falling for him, and the characters actually feel worth watching to the very end to see how it ends. Ending is also amazing within the trope filled genre that usually ends with the most non committed endings ever made.

Surprisingly not much even in the requisite waterpark episode. A waterpark, not even a dang beach. That's how out of the norm it is.

Can't get much more light hearted than that. It's a parody romantic comedy.

One of my favorite episodes of all time is when they parody the terminator into Dragon Ball Z all in the same episode.

LOL they just got be fearless.

There is a story of a homeless children walking from town to town, living in the woods. And they are being chased by A women with long hair, a wonderfully flamboyant dude (no subtext), and their cat. Then main character leaves his friends just to find other homeless children to walk the woods with.

Full Moon wo Sagashite.

It's about a 10 year old girl who has throat cancer and is visited by childish death gods.

She for some reason, can see them when she shouldn't be able to. They inform her that she only has a year left to live before she dies and it obviously upsets her, mostly because she'd never get to be a singer like she promised the boy she had a crush on that she would be.

The death gods hear her plight and work with her to let her live the last year of her life as a teenage pop sensation.

The story pretty much follows her working in the career up until the end of that year, giving you background on how the death gods became death gods, and more.

I hate long stories. This took 52 episodes and it absolutely pulled me in. I am someone who has a hard time watching more than one episode a day and this show had me watching 5 a day. On top of it, the music was very emotional and absolutely fantastic. This show was easily a top 3 anime for me, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants an engaging story.

My Roommate Is a Cat. It's about a reclusive novelist with crippling social anxiety who adopts a stray cat because he needs a muse. Main gimmick is that each episode's story is told twice, once from the human's perspective and again from the cat's perspective. The cat's perspective is usually the funniest part, but seeing the human try to be an actual functioning adult for his cat's sake is pretty funny too.
