hipster thread

what's something you think is obscure that you love?

relatively obscure to fandom that is, e.g. "hetalia" wouldnt count even if most people havent heard of it cause its got a huge fandom

[(Anonymous)]

most anime i'm into

:I

[(Anonymous)]

I doubt anyone would say Hetalia unless they're very, very, very new to fandom as a whole.

Anyways, a ton of books I love are pretty obscure simply because...well. Books.

Probably the one I'd be most interested in exploring fandom wise is Animist by Eve Forward [of Villains by Necessity fame] since the world building is amazing, and sounds like it would be epic to explore.

Sadly, outside of my immediate family, I've never found anyone else whose even heard of it, much less read it.

The Long Beach Homicide series by Tyler Dilts. After reading A King of Infinite Space a few years ago, I've been looking for someone to talk to about it to no avail.

[cushlamochree]

I don't know what's obscure

But I posted about Repo Man on the first page and I guess that counts. It's fantastic, everyone go watch it. It's this slightly surreal, slightly comedic movie about Emilio Estevez as an LA punk who becomes a repo man, and also there's a car with a trunk full of aliens that a bunch of people are hunting. It just has this lo-fi, grungy vibe + some really good, funny black comedy and a lot of awesome punk music on the sound track.

Also, I've mentioned RA Lafferty on here before but whatever he's pretty obscure and I love his work. Unfortunately it's mostly impossible to find as it's almost all out of print (except for the volume of short stories they actually put out a year ago). Another writer I love who most people don't seem to talk much about is James Blaylock. It seems like, if people have read him, they've mostly read his steampunk stuff. But what I love is his more contemporary stuff, which is set in this really dreamlike, awesome, bizarre version of coastal California that just really works for me.

Anyway that is some stuff that I like that I guess is kinda obscure.

Jackie Chan Adventures. I'm one of about ten people who are actively in the fandom.

[lb_lee]

Eeee, Jackie Chan Adventures! :D

--Sneak

[vethica]

Ooh, you're a fan? Hell yeah, let's talk JCA sometime!

[lb_lee]

We've only seen, like, the first two seasons, unfortunately. ^_^' But yeah, it was great! Uncle's the best.

--Sneak

[vethica]

It's okay! It kind of goes downhill after the first two imo anyway. c: AND YES he is.

[lb_lee]

Sounds like we left at the right time, then!

Oh, and Valmont's henchmen. They were also the best!

God, I haven't thought about Jackie Chan Adventures since I was a kid. That show was awesome!

[nightscale]

Hell yeah that show was great! I'm not in the fandom for it but I loved watching it when it was on TV.

[feotakahari]

Does Freefall count as obscure? I seem to be the only one here who reads it.

[raspberryrain]

I have read a few strips. I think it was linked somewhere like TV Tropes.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I was big into Hetalia before it exploded. I still get nostalgic for those pre-anime days.

[(Anonymous)]

Earth's Children. Most people just know "Clan of the Cave Bear", and either way have no idea there's a fandom, given that 90% of the fandom is one website.

[feotakahari]

My father says he loves that series for the descriptions of life back then, but hates the sex scenes.

If I may drop a recommendation, he also likes The First North Americans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_North_Americans

[yuuago]

Anno 1790. Well, it's not entirely obscure, but it isn't very well-known outside of Scandinavia, and the fandom is very small. Which is too bad, because it's a pretty good series.

Also, the sci-fi short film Pumzi. It's so good! It left me with so many questions! Nobody I know has watched it! Alas.

And then there is Nelvana of the Northern Lights - well, love is not quite the right word for it. I love Nelvana as a superhero concept, but the actual comic is very, very dated in the way that golden age comics usually are.

[dethtoll]

The Warriors for PS2. It's my prize possession.

[(Anonymous)]

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. A lot of people read it for school I believe, but the fandom side of things is... quite small...

[loracarol]

I love that play! May have written fanfic at one point. >_>;;

[coffeeyoukai]

Bakumatsu Rock. Stripping singing samurais, guys! Abs-based fanservice every episode! This fandom definitely ought to be much bigger!

Even more obscure would be a certain series of Vocaloid songs. Literally the only people who know about it are those I linked it to.

[(Anonymous)]

aw man, i only watched the anime of that but i really loved it! the music was really great too. which one is your favorite character, if i may ask??

also- are my eyes deceiving me or is that ibuki in your icon? i guess cfv would be *my* obscure fandom. not on an international level since it's pretty popular in the us and various other countries, but my country has only like a handful of cfv fans. most of them quit the show after or while link joker aired, too, because they didn't like that aichi wasn't the main character (in a sense) anymore. the fact that i don't ship the fandom's favorite bl ship doesn't make me any more 'befriend-worthy' either, i guess :( (even though i ship A LOT but just not *that* ship.. still my fatal flaw, apparently, haha)

[fishnchips]

Not obscure as in "nobody knows it" (because it's a pretty well known book and a very common book read in lower middle school in my country) but kinda obscure in an international and fandom-y kind of way: Krabat (I think the title in English is "The Satanic Mill" or something) by Otfried Preußler. I love this book very, very much. I read it when I was pretty young and fell completely in love with it and it hasn't stopped since.
There are other people who like that book, but there's a lot of "Ugh no, I had to read that in school and it was so booooring" as well.
There is a bit of a fandom in my country but it's mostly made up of people's school writing assignments and badfic based on that abomination of a movie they made a few years back.
