Btw. I just looked for this thread and re-reading, I realize how rude this came off. Sorry
Here's a link to the extended ending, in case you still haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzVDuEIk0xw
It's still my favorite anime of all times and it makes me sad how unknown it is. You can't even find the opening on Youtube. The MAL-forum has like three topics. I really wish some fully remade this anime, but keep the quality as high as the original. I think I'm doing a rewatch rather soon :>

Because Fall 2004 was an exceptionally strong season. Deeply iconic series competed with it (and some pretty decent trash too). Depending on how you can rank that season, it won't be in the top 10 or even the top 15. That's how good series still get forgotten.
Other people will list different series from that season as their all-time favorites. You have listed other series from that season in your other high-level favorites, for what it's worth (edit: 2 months ago in case you're curious).

You're making it sound like I'm being subjective and unfair to other anime. I don't think that's true with just HOW unknown Fantastic Children is, especially compared to how good it is.
I'll admit, though, that 2004 was a very strong season (nowadays seasons': *crickets*). If I forgot to put it in my list, that shows just how dire the situation is >_>

I'm not claiming you're subjective beyond any other person. I'm saying Fall 2004 was that good of season, since you're wondering how good series get forgotten. Because there were at least nine other series that were also at least an 8. Subjectivity pushes those 8s to 10s depending on personal preference.
It's certainly more well-known than half of the series that season. But it certainly doesn't leave the lasting impression that a revolver boob-reload does (and no, that series was not good but was present).
