I've said "you can check it yourself", but it seems you didn't pick that up, only that I wasn't offering you the cooked answer. The only reason it was 3rd is because it's only among ONA of that year... and well, you can check there wasn't much competition. Just by completed status, you can see that there are 7,5K for Candy Boy and for the 1st of that season 15K (Eve no Jikan), right? The most popular anime of that year was Toradora, with 307K of completed, the third Code Geass with 216K if you wanted a full comparison. Do you like those big numbers? Weren't you able to reach to that conclusion yourself? And btw, the most popular one from last season only had 105K (a similar amount of different Macross titles, being the oldest one and Delta the most commonly mentioned), so you can appreaciate that the reason some series are more popular or completely unknown also depends on whether people talk about them or not.
And now about your definition, most anime hentai that in the past was popular can no longer be obtained legally, does that make them "obscure" even if some platforms they surpass the 1M views? Years ago someone made a video where you could see how in the last years porn streaming sites (without copyright of course) single titles gathered millions of views alone, and in case there are copies to be bought they can only be obtained in Japan (due some laws banning exportation). And well, Shoujo Sect is pretty well-known but only 2763 users has set it as "completed" in Anilist, whereas Rance 01 that has a lot of views on hentai platforms only has 4811. Meanwhile, Kuttsukiboshi that's less known than those two has 5837. So in the end, the same anime hentai title can be obscure or not.
In summary, come down from your ivory tower and talk with people, these things can be known just joining otaku clubs/associations and going to conventions. Or talking with your friends, or even their parents because they've seen the same old titles when their children were little. But not going and imposing your criterion on forums and hoping they'll clap at you.
Edit: I just realised the title I said at the top, Inferno Cop, is more popular nowadays than I thought, with 20K. And that one is on Youtube, posted by an official source. And when I talked with others IRL eight years ago more people knew about Ninja Slayer, even if that one barely reaches the 5K. Quite an irony, heh?
