While the world burns... Here's an anime iceberg I made a while back.

I wouldn't call Kino that obscure, an anime came out for her in 2017. I'd put in One Piece at normie tier, it's big but also decent. Spy X Family would go in new hotness, I read the manga before that became big and it was on an upward trajectory because of just how good it was. EVA still has an audience 20 years later, the last movie only came out in 2021, where Shinji ended up with Makoto. Putting .hack and Code Pants there, along with early 2000s anime is a good call. Bakemonotagari and Strike Witches are still big tho. Lain and Cromartie would be good for gatekeep, any of the overly long talking and boring ones.
Kino and others in the Gatekeep category aren't so much about being obscure as they are about never having any possibility of being normie tier. Gatekeep is either talky, fanservice (or both in the case of Bakemonogatari), or focused on some aspect of otaku culture (AKB0048 or Genshiken).
Even though I made this a while back, I haven't seen Spy X Family yet. Guess I'll check it out.
I forgot about the Eva rebuilds. Third one lost me with the time skip and I didn't even realize the fourth one was made.
