Underrated anime series or overrated

Overrated
Code Geass - It's probably worshiped even more than Haruhi, yet by the end of the first season I couldn't stand the overblown, cheesy melodrama.
School Rumble - I couldn't see how this show was funny, certainly not enough to justify 54 episodes.
FMA - has the same problem as Code Geass, but significantly magnified.
Underrated
I second Ichigo Mashimaro. It's utterly hilarious without relying on the sight gags and violent slapstick of the vast majority of anime comedies.
Haibane Renmei and Kino no Tabi are dismissed way too often for being 'boring' and vague, especially Haibane.
For a show dropped by its top fansub group, Toradora! is great and getting better each week.

If you are talking about the chans, (2, 4) yes I have. But taking a recommendation from them is like asking the drive through window guy at mcdonalds for sexual or legal advice. Generally not recommended.
If you are not talking about that chans, then I'm curious what you mean.

I was talking about the 4chan /g/... But their anime recommendations are pretty good, they only like to troll things related to technology...

I don't know who's rating things but anyways, for underrated
The aforementioned Kino no Tabi and Heibane Renmei, theres a lot more there there than with most anime, and that shouldn't count against it.
King of Bandits Jing, for it's aesthetics and whimsical plot.
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora - for being deeply touching without the feeling that I was being manipulated.
Shingu: Secret of Stellar Wars - for being an unpretentious, happy-go-lucky version of Evangelion.
There are probably more, but I can't recall right now.

I dunno if it's just me, but I never hear anything about Nanoha, which is kinda sad considering how great it is. With it being one of the only 52 episodes series's I've liked enough to finish, it's surprising.
Also, Kodomo no Jikan. Whenever it's brought up, everyone seems to hate it for being nothing but pedo comedy. People just need to sit down, finish it, and then judge it, some of the last episodes almost made me cry.

Lucky Star
Booooooring.... :(
Haruhi Suzumiya
Good series, it's just a little to over-the-top popular.
Underrated
Midori no Hibi (Midori Days)
Very funny series, very touching and sad.
People get turned off by the description and never give it a chance.
Kodomo no Jikan
Again, people get too caught up in the loli factor to realize the powerful
hidden meaning behind the series. Very sad anime, yet funny at the same time.
