Anime That Were Overlooked at Release but Later Gained Cult Followings

It’s surprising that ‘Cowboy Bebop,’ a unique blend of jazz, space adventure, and western themes, was initially cancelled by TV Tokyo. The network stopped showing it after just a few episodes, believing it was too adult for their schedule. The show really took off when it moved to the WOWOW satellite channel, where all the episodes could be aired. Later, it became hugely popular with viewers in the West thanks to Adult Swim, and is now considered a classic anime that introduced many people to the genre.
