If we're counting continued in the 20s:
+1 for Supercub
Ikuta no kita - underratted because it's avan-garde and my experience watching it was great. 6.39 vs my 9/10
As I have watched a bit more avan-gerde films like "mad god" and "Tetsuo: the iron man" I would not grade it the same.
Is ODDTAXI underrated? If so, then that definitely. It's just quality all the way through.
And Estab-Life: Great Escape. Yeah - it's sort of contrived, but it has so much heart and tells a satisfying story. And Equa is wonderful.
Is **ODDTAXI** underrated?
IMO it is rated.
It's got a good rating, which it deserves. Perhaps it is underwatched though.
So far it's been the following:
There's been some other great stuff too of course but I wouldn't say that anything else I've seen that's been released since 2020 has been overrated.
Bravern is top of my list as well. Hell, Mother's Basement made a whole video about how everybody slept on Bravern despite how much ass it kicked.
I've only seen oddtaxi from your list. I look forward to checking out the others.
As for worst.. I have one in mind but the name escapes me at this very moment. Oh right. Gibiate.

Oh, $DEITY, that thing was such a train wreck! I watched it to the end thinking that it couldn't possibly get any worse.
It did.
It was one I watched all the way through to see if they ever managed to even it out... They didn't. The pacing was terrible, the plot was worse, and the animation was somehow even worse than that. I think most ps1 games had smoother animations for their 3d models.
Not sure if its underrated but Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song- was one that I didn't hear a whole lot of buzz about but is one of my favorites in the last few years!
considering it's on three different peoples suggested so far, I daresay it's likely worth a watch.

From what I observed, the higher the rating for a show, the more likely I am to like it (and give it a high score)
Not sure how to take popularity into account. How do we judge if a show is underwatched anyway?
Bofuri is a good answer. That show was such goofy fun. Also, I am not surprised to see 100GF there. So many people will write off shows just for having a harem tag. So, when a show comes along that is the harem-iest of harems, they don't even give it a chance.
I trawled through AniList for the 2020's and here are some I enjoyed that I don't seem to see people mention very much. Ten in no particular order:
Easily Bocchi the Rock. All of its hype is during or after it aired.
I did not expect to love VTuber Legend as much as I have this season. I only vaugley knew about Hololive culture beforehand, but I still loved (and will love for the next couple weeks) every joke that's come out of that show.
I generally watch the first episode of every new anime (and have been since the beginning of 2020).. The Vtuber one didn't especially catch me in that time, but it's not the first to slip through the cracks. I'll give it another go.
