What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Death Note, specifically for non-anime folks. It's really the only anime that I think even anime haters can love.

While the quality is uneven, it's still the #37 show on IMDb last I checked, and most people have never even considered watching it.

No spoilers please, in case anyone who reads this decides to give it a try.

Also, Steins;Gate.

Steins;Gate is one of those few shows I'd recommend which come with the annoying disclaimer "You need to watch until episode X and then you're in for a ride"

And what a ride. Tuturuuu.

You talked me into it, at least.
