Millenium Actress is moderately known just by beinga Kon joint. Tho unfortunately is maybe the lesser known of the 4 (and the best).
Liz and the blue bird has a bunch of following just through Kyoani having a bunch of following tho its not the most active online.
Votoms is weird. Like its super important and pretty amazing but the people who have heard it and talk about it are just people that like old Mechas cause its like 3rd/4th in line for most people when they started getting into that rabbithole. I have seen a bunch of people starting it on twitter but maybe pushing it as a MGS core influence would get more people to give it a try. people SHOULD watch it
Vampire Hunter D bloodlust is probably the better known of the bunch but mostly by US millenial audience. The physical releases sold very well and it was one of the best known "anime movies" of the 00s . But that crowd prob is just normal people that dont partake into online an ime discussions now
Beautiful Dreamer its probably the lesser known in the west. Despite it being Oshii and UY being such an important franchise. Its a hard sell when its attached to a 100+ ep 80s romcom no matter how good the latter is and even if you try to convince people to watch it standalone. Also thats not really true cause there is a ton of enjoyment and depth to be found when you are at least familiar with the characters and format of the show and how the movie handles them andbrings them upside down
yeah none of these are actually that obscure, it's just that no one i talk to irl has ever seen them no matter how much of a weeb they consider themselves. that's exactly why i watched votoms lmao
also lmao you responded right before i tried to do a quick elevator pitch for all of them and why i love them
