What is the anime you own that you almost never hear of and never heard of before you bought it?Mine is Battle Skippers.

Ultraman II, it's a Canadian dub DVD of the anime version of Ultraman (Orginally known as "The Ultraman" or "Ultraman Jonias" in Japan). I find it oddly awesome. I mean, the dub is quite awful, but it's Ultraman, and that's what counts.
I got it for about $5.00

KO Century Beast and Ryu Knight. Like what? Only five people know about KO Century Beast and thankfully Right Stuf is bringing it over. It's a great OAV I tell ya.
As for Ryu Knight it was hugely popular in Japan, but reminds highly obscure in the States.

Hey, I remember Ryu Knight, I think. Innit the one with the, uh, guy and his HUGE gun?

The closest thing I got to obscure anime is the DarkStalkers OVA series. But I don't think that it is really that obscure. Everything else I have I'm sure everyone here has at least heard about.

Ping Pong Club. To be honest I thought this was pretty well known but everyone gives me a "meh?" expression whenever I mention it.

ReiRei isn't so unusual, either, since it did get an R1 release years ago... one of the two H titles I own.
How about Arion? That seems to have been forgotten by anime fans. Son of Poseiden and Demeter goes forth and kills the whole Greek pantheon so he can marry his sister.
I guess Hameln the Violinist is fairly well known, since it got decent fansub distribution.
Karura Mau? Serious supernatural story about twins who hunt ghosts and demons.

Obviously, it would be Yokohama Shopping Log, the only import (Region 2) anime DVD I own, which I have to watch on my computer because my standalone DVD players are Region 1 only. I have the DVD with the original 2 episodes from 1998, and the 1st new OVA episode is on its way from CD Japan to my house (sent this week), but I probably won't get to watch it until January, because of the Christmas/New Year's mail slowdown. I paid $56 American for a single half-hour episode... I don't want to think what that would be in Canadian dollars (wrote it off as a Christmas present, but I don't know if I'll be able to buy the other new episode, or possibly "episodes").

The most obscure title in my collection would have to be either Twin Signal or The Girl from Phantasia.
Riding Bean would probably come in a close third. I would like to think that a lot of Bubblegum Crisis and Gall Force fans would be familiar with it, but that just doesn't seem to be the case.
